Portland city councilors voted unanimously Wednesday night to repeal restrictions on new construction and demolitions on Munjoy Hill that had been put in place before the creation of a new historic district last year easing some concerns about the changing character of the area. The 9-0 vote came after councilors spoke about the need to create more housing in the neighborhood and expressed concerns that the Munjoy Hill Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District might be hindering that effort.
