Subsection 134-1-5-1 - Purpose

The Capitol Area is distinct from other areas within the city and state in both form and function. The following design requirements include guidelines and standards formulated to protect the Capitol Area from development inconsistent with its unique characteristics, which could diminish its historic importance and emphasis on the open and easy access to state government by all. These requirements define the policy of the State of Maine such that development in the Capitol Area shall proceed in a manner that reflects careful planning and consideration of aesthetic quality, wise use of resources, and historic context, with due regard for the interests of the public involved.
