A.
Adoption. A map entitled "City of Saco, Zoning Map" and dated December
2, 2020[1] is hereby adopted as part of this chapter and hereafter
shall be referred to as the "Official Zoning Map."
[1]
Editor's Note: The Zoning Map, which took effect 4-12-2021, and as subsequently amended, is included as an attachment to this chapter.
B.
Exceptions. The Official Zoning Map shall be the final authority as to the boundaries of zoning districts, except in regard to the Shoreland Zoning Overlay Districts, which are more particularly described in Article VIII herein.
C.
Copies of the Zoning Map. Representative maps which may be appended
to this chapter are for reference only and shall not be construed
to be the Official Zoning Map.
A.
Uncertainty of boundaries. Where uncertainty exists with respect
to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Zoning
Map, the following rules shall apply:
(1)
Boundaries depicted as approximately following the center lines
of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such
center lines.
(2)
Boundaries depicted as approximately following well-established
lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
(3)
Boundaries depicted as approximately following municipal limits
shall be construed as following municipal limits.
(4)
Boundaries depicted as following shorelines shall be construed
to follow such shorelines, and in the event of natural change in the
shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline.
(5)
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines
of streams, rivers, canals, lakes, or other bodies of water shall
be construed to follow such center lines.
(6)
Boundaries depicted as following or measured from natural features
such as the upland limit of wetlands or the limit of floodplains shall
be construed to follow or be measured from the actual limit of the
natural resource as located on the face of the Earth even if such
location is at variance with the location shown on the Official Zoning
Map.
(7)
Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Official Zoning Map, except as provided in Subsection A(1) through (6) above, or in circumstances where the items covered by Subsection A(1) through (6) above are not clear, the Board of Appeals shall interpret the district boundaries.
B.
The district boundaries located on the Zoning Map represent the City
of Saco's ordinance. In addition, areas along the Saco River are also
governed by the Saco River Corridor Commission. Separate, and in some
cases more restrictive, regulations exist for this area and must be
consulted when development is contemplated.
C.
Division of lots by district boundaries. Where a zoning district
boundary line divides a lot, the regulations applicable to either
lot may be extended up to 100 feet into the other lot.
The City is divided into the districts stated and described
in this chapter and as shown by the district boundary lines on the
Official Zoning Map. The district classifications are shown in Tables
3-1 and 3-2:

Purpose. The Rural Conservation (RC) District is designed to
promote and preserve agriculture, agricultural soils, and open space,
while permitting low-density residential uses that do not conflict
with the rural character of this area of Saco. The RC District has
protected conservation land and plays an important role in establishing
greenways and preserving wildlife habitat.
(2)
Location. The RC District is located to the west of Interstate
95 and bounded by Saco River and the towns of Buxton and Scarborough.

Low Density
Residential (LDR) District.
 |
(1)
Purpose. The Low Density Residential (LDR) District is designated
predominately for single-family residential development. This district
allows for greater density than the RC District by permitting smaller
lot sizes that reflect the existing residential character of established
neighborhoods. Portions of this district are sewered. It is intended
that new land uses in this district are restricted to those that are
compatible with the character of existing residential development.
(2)
Location. The LDR District is located in four areas of the City,

areas should be designed to withstand future sea-level rise and storm
surge.

installation of these facilities is feasible. The character of the
neighborhood is urban, higher density/intensity of use.

T.
Historic
Preservation Overlay District (HPOD).
 |
(1)
Purpose.
(a)
Protect Saco's historic, architectural and cultural heritage.
The economic well-being of the City will be strengthened by preserving
its architectural and historic setting, conserving property values
in unique areas, fostering civic beauty, and promoting the use of
historic or architecturally significant buildings for the education
and welfare of the public.
(b)
Assist property owners with maintaining the architectural integrity
of the district.
(c)
Protect, preserve and enhance the outward appearance and architectural
features of structures.
(d)
Prevent the demolition or removal of significant historic buildings
or structures within designated districts or designated sites or landmarks.
(e)
Preserve, protect and enhance the essential character of designated
districts by protecting relationships of groups of buildings and structures.
(f)
Accept new buildings and structures which are designed and built
in a manner which is compatible with the character of the district.
(g)
Promote the educational, cultural, economic and general welfare
of the people of the City.
(2)
Location. The HP Overlay District is located along Main Street,
including portions of Route 1 and Route 9, and along Bradley Road/Route
112 and Beach Street/Route 9. The HP Overlay District includes areas
shown on adopted Historic Preservation Map.
A.
Saco River Corridor. The Saco River Corridor Commission has been
established by the Maine Legislature to regulate development within
in the Saco River Corridor. The Saco River Corridor includes all lands
adjacent to the Saco River to a distance of 500 feet, as measured
on a horizontal plane, from the mean high-water line of the river
or to the edge of the 100-year floodplain if the floodplain extends
beyond 500 feet, up to a maximum of 1,000 feet.
B.
Activities within the Saco River Corridor are subject to the jurisdiction
of both the City of Saco and the Saco River Corridor Commission (SRCC).
Construction, development, and some other activities require approval
from both the City and the Corridor Commission. Refer to Title 38
M.R.S.A §§ 951 through 969 for Saco River Corridor
Act, and contact the Saco River Corridor Commission for applicable
performance standards.
C.
Activities within the Saco River Corridor must conform to the applicable
City regulations as well as to the Commission's regulations.
D.
To coordinate the review and permitting process, applicants or potential
applicants should first determine if the proposed activity is allowed
under the City's regulations. The applicant should then obtain a permit
for the activity from the Saco River Corridor Commission. Once the
SRCC permit has been obtained, the applicant should apply for City
permits or approvals needed for the project. Obtaining a permit from
the SRCC does not absolve the applicant of the requirement to obtain
City permits and approvals.
