Where to find Cape Elizabeth ordinances and the zoning code (chapter 19)
Summary
Town planner Maureen O'Mara directed residents to the Government tab on the website for a searchable list of ordinances, highlighting the zoning ordinance (chapter 19) as a detailed, 200+ page resource with an amendments table dating to 2000.
O'Mara pointed users to the Government tab on the Cape Elizabeth website as the primary place to find town ordinances and regulations. "If you click on ordinances, what you have is a list of all of the town's current ordinances," she said, and she highlighted the zoning ordinance (chapter 19), noting it is more than 200 pages and includes a page listing amendments adopted since 2000.
She advised users that the ordinance files include effective dates on front pages and a table of contents with definitions, so the online copy is generally maintained to be current and can be a reliable first reference for questions about local regulation (for example, where dogs can be leashed or unleashed).
