Join us for a City Council Workshop to discuss the proposed Coastal Resilience Overlay Zone (CROZ).

  • WHEN: Tuesday, February 10, 2026 at 6:30 PM
  • WHERE: City Hall (25 Cottage Rd.), Council Chambers
  • WHO: All members of the public 

The City of South Portland is developing a Climate Resilience Overlay Zone (CROZ), in line with goals adopted in the One Climate Future plan and as directed by the City Council. The CROZ aims to ensure that future development in South Portland is resilient to risks associated with coastal flooding and high heat. We encourage residents, business owners, and other members of the community to attend this City Council workshop to learn more and to provide comments. This workshop is part of a multi-step process and will inform the development of an ordinance before it is presented to the City Council for consideration.

The workshop agenda and materials will be available on BoardDocs the Thursday prior to the meeting (February 5, 2026), by 4:30 PM.

Learn more about the City of South Portland’s work to update the land use code to  adapt to and better manage climate risks on the Resilience Zoning page
