Land Use Planning Commission Seeks Public Input on Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update

MORNING AG CLIPS • July 27, 2026

The Maine Land Use Planning Commission (LUPC) is inviting residents, property owners, and others to help shape the next Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) by participating in a pre-process survey. The LUPC is gathering feedback through a pre-process CLUP Survey. LUPC provides planning and zoning services for unorganized townships, plantations, and towns in 13 counties, covering roughly half of Maine, about 10.4 million acres. The LUPC statute requires the Commission to prepare a CLUP, to guide its rules, zoning, and development review. Since the first CLUP was adopted in 1974, there have been five updates, the most recent in 2010. The next update will address changes since 2010 and will guide the Commission into the future.
