Chairman Kenney opened the Public Hearing and asked the applicant or their representative to make a brief presentation of their application. City Engineer John Theriault, PE indicated he was requesting the change in zoning to facilitate work related to the retaining wall stabilization plan. Member Boothby questioned why a municipal office building would not be in a Government and Institutional District. There were no opponents to the rezoning. The Board discussed the various districts around City Hall and what changes likely will be made and the impact of changing G&ISD across the city to be more like Downtown Development District. Member Durgin made a motion to recommend that the City Council pass the rezoning request contained in C.O. #17-287. Member Hicks seconded and the Board voted unanimously to recommend #17-287 be approved by the City Council.
