General Description. This application is for a request to change an approximately 11.5 ace parcel on Union Street from Shopping and Personal Service to General Commercial and Service zoning district for the existing 'Westgate Mail" property on the northeast aide of Union Street. The property is presently a small shopping center on Union Street with several large building areas vacant. b. Land Use and Zoning Policy. The City's land use policy for this area of Union Street all the way to Griffin Road is for commercial use. Zoning in the area is largely Shopping and Personal Service on the northeast side of the street while there is a mixture of Government and Institutional Service, Industry and Service and General Commercial and Service on the southwest side of Union Street through this area and beyond Griffin Road. C. Urban Services. The site in question has access to all required urban services. d. Existing Conditions. This 11.5 ace site is one of two of the older shopping centers of the City located on Union Street. The northeast side of Union Street in this area has extensive commercial development with a mixture of retail and service uses for its full length from the Westgate Mall site to Gruen Road. Much of the area on the southwest side of Union Street was developed as part of the Air Force base and is presently used by the City for a range of municipal and airportuses. Recently, one of the areas on the front of the Airport has been rezoned to Shopping and Personal Service District. The Westgate Mall shopping center has a high vacancy rate at this time and Eastern Maine Healthcare proposes to reuse the facility for "medical and business offices and related healthcare facilities.' It is our understanding that it is their intent to consolidate a number of different non hospital functions within this facility. The reason for the change to GC& S from Shopping and Personal Service is to provide slightly more flexibility in a large multi -use building complex (Westgate Mall contains approximately 110,610 sqq ft. of Floor area). e. Decision Criteria. The basis for the Citys zoning is its Comprehensive Plan policies. The proposed General Commercial and Service zoning district would be consistent with the proposed commercial use of this whole Union Street corridor. The General Commercial and Service District is one which was designed to handle multi -use of commercial properties and would be appropriate for this use at this site. t. Recommendation. Since the proposed zone change is consistent with the C" Comprehensive Plan, Staff would recommend that the Planning Board recommend the zone change to the City Council.
