                                                                     January 26, 1976

                To the Governor, Legislature and People of Maine:

                      The attached Survey of Municipal Planning and Regulatory Activity contains a
                summary of the current status (October 1975) of municipal planning and land use controls
                in Maine, a comparison of the situations in 1972 through 1975, and a series of charts
                showing the level of activity in each municipality in Maine, grouped according to the
                eight Official Planning and Development Districts.

                      The number of municipalities which have joined Regional Planning Commissions
                decreased by I I from 1974 to a total of 345. The number of planning boards reported
                also decreased slightly. However, zoning ordinances covering all or part of a municipality
                have been adopted by 138 municipalities, an increase of 5 percent to 34 percent. Municipally
                adopted shoreland zoning ordinances have increased from 8 percent in January 1974 to
                72 percent in October 1975, a total of 319 cities and towns. Subdivision control ordinances
                have also shown an increase; 48 percent of Maine's municipalities now have them. Municipally
                appointed conservation commissions now serve 47 percent of Maine's municipalities.

                      There is a direct correlation between the size of a municipality and the adoption
                of zoning other than shoreland zoning. OF municipalities over 10,000 population, 94 percent
                have zoning ordinances but this declines to 12 percent for municipalities with under 500
                population. Development pressures have also encouraged adoption of zoning ordinances,
                with the Southern Maine, Cumberland and Southern Mid Coast Districts having the highest
                percentages of zoning ordinances.

                      Despite the increasing pressure on municipal budgets, municipal capital improvement
                programs have remained at a low level. Mobile home ordinances have also increased as this
                type of housing has become more prevalent in Maine.

                      The various maps and charts provide a detailed picture of the status of land use controls
                in Maine.
