Climate Resilience Zoning

The City of South Portland, Maine is requesting proposals from qualified land use planning consultants for our Climate Resilience Zoning project (RFP #14-25). This project will build from the climate resiliency framework and recommendations included in the City's climate action plan, One Climate Future . It will include the development of a climate resilience overlay zone and associated zoning standards to address increasing climate-related risks due to sea level rise, storm surge, flooding, and high heat citywide. A successful proposal will be expected to leverage local hydrodynamic inundation modeling data and include a robust deliberative community engagement process in order to develop land use policy recommendations.
