Research notes
Universal protection for any Maine zoning municipality. Stacks with the LD 2003 ADU mandate — an ADU may be a manufactured unit if it meets the district's neutral standards. Effective date is approximate; the manufactured-housing floor predates LD 2003 by decades and was carried forward in the 1991 Growth Management Act recodification.
