Housing & Economic Development Committee
Portland committee weighs banning data centers and selling tech park lots to Nordic Spa
The Housing & Economic Development Committee meets remotely on October 6, 2026 to discuss inclusionary zoning policy and streamlining building permit reviews, both tied to the City Council's 2026 goal to accelerate housing production and strengthen affordability protections. It will also take public comment and vote on a recommendation to the City Council on a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Nordic Spa for condo lots #3 and #5 at the City-owned Portland Technology Park, and consider recommending a resolution asking the Planning Board to amend the Land Use Code to prohibit data centers in Portland. The zoning and permit items are discussion-only with no public comment; the Nordic Spa item is an action item with public comment before any vote.
- Vote on recommendation to City Council on Purchase and Sale Agreement with Nordic Spa for condo lots #3 and #5 at City-owned Portland Technology Park; committee may enter executive session under 1 M.R.S.A. 405(6)(C)
- Panel discussion on Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) with Laura Mitchell (Maine Affordable Housing Coalition), Todd Morse (Urbanist Coalition), Patrick Hess (Avesta Housing), and Erin Cooperrider (New Height Group); first of three meetings before recommending IZ changes to the Planning Board
- Discussion of possible policy changes to streamline building permit application review and approval times
- Consider recommending a City Council resolution requesting a Land Use Code text amendment to prohibit data centers in Portland
- Review and vote to approve minutes from the September 15, 2026 meeting
