As a 49-unit apartment building proposal for Cape Elizabeth’s town center makes its way through the approval process, town officials are taking tentative steps toward further, permanent changes to zoning laws that could pave the way for more affordable housing in the future.
The Cape Elizabeth Town Council took a step in that direction last week to send the Szanton Company’s request for zoning ordinance changes for the apartment project to the Ordinance Committee. Now officials are exploring how or whether to make permanent townwide changes in the town’s zoning laws to promote growth, with the first major workshop on the subject expected to take place next month.
