The special meeting of the Town Council, scheduled for February 27, has been cancelled due to the filing of a Citizen petition on February 24. The Citizen petition, if verified and sent to referendum, will suspend the enactment of zoning amendments passed by the Council on February 10 pending a referendum vote.

Town Staff and the Town Attorney are working to verify the signatures of registered voters prior to Council action and scheduling of the Public Hearing. More information on this item will be posted to the website once the petition is deemed completed.

The Citizen petition submitted to Town staff on February 24, reads as follows:

“We, the undersigned registered voters of the Town of Cape Elizabeth, request the “Amendments to Chapter 19 Zoning Ordinance Relating to Town Center Amendments,” passed by a split vote of the Town Council on February 10, 2025, be referred to referendum pursuant to Article VIII, Sec. 1 of the Council-Manager Charter.
