General Desaintion. This application is a request to change approximately 12 acres of land containing 40 dwelling units cooled on Union Street from High Density Residential to Low Density Residential zoning district. The 12 acre parcel contains 20 duplexes joined by a common garage for a total of 40 housing units. This area is part of a slightly larger parcel which has been declared excess by the Fedeml Government and will be disposed of in the future. In addition to the 12 acre duplex area there is a block of 11 single -family detached homes which is already zoned LDR. (Thus, the Government will be disposing of a total of 51 dwelling units in this area.) The area northeast of these housing units (the parcel to be disposed of by the Government) is in private ownership and comprises several attached and detached single -family residences. (A total of 31 unks.) b. Land Use and Zoning Pol'w. The City's Land Use Policy for the whole area along Ohio Street; between Union and Ohio Streets northwest of GriRin Road and southwest of Union Street beyond the commercial complex located adjacent to Griffin Road is for High Density Residential. The Zoning Policy is also for HDR. However, as noted above, the single -family units within the military housing complex located between Ohio Street, Union Street, and Griffin Road reflects the building type and is zoned Low Density Residential. C. Urban Services. The site has access to a full range of required urban services. d. Existing Conditions. Much of the housing complex developed by the military in the block between Union Street and Ohio Street consists of multi-family dwellings (mostly fouplexes). Them is also a muni-family housing development on an out parcel on the corner of Griffin Road and Ohio Street. South of Griffin Road just east of the Airport Mall there is a mulb-family housing complex developed by the Bangor Housing Authority some yeare ago.. However, the area in which this parcel lies (made up of a loop of Randolph Drive and a cu]Ae-sac called March Circle) is all either single -family attached or detached dwellings. The single -family units in this complex of housing are already in an UDR zone as are those units in the March Circle area and in the areas of Randolph Drive that have been previously sold to private individuals. e. Decision Criteria. The basis for the City's zoning is its Comprehensive Plan. The broad land use envisioned for this whole area of the City is for High Density Residential but the City's Plan clearly provides for protection of existing single - family areas and existing zoning in this area reflects those housing types. Therefore, it is not inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan to rezone this parcel to Me abutting Low Density Residential district. f. Recommendation, With the eminent sale of these dwelling units, and the existing housing types and Low Density Residential zoning in the ares, Staff would recommend that the Planning Board recommend this zone change to the City Council.
