PUBLIC HEART Item No. 2: Zone Change - 136 Union Street - Shaw House - C.O. p 97-124 a. General De SC intion. Applicant requests anchange from Contract Urban Service District to Government and Institutional Service District for a .3 acre parcel located at 136 Union Street. This application is a request to change 136 Union Street, located at the c om r of Union Street and First Street fr US Contract to GC&Se This building, formerly the Valentine Elementary School, later the American Legion was most recently used for office. The building is approximately 8,000 sq. ft. in size. b. Land Use and Zoning Policy. The City's Land Use Policy for the a s for High Density Residential. The Zoning Policy Map indicates this area for Multifamily and Service District. C. Urban Servicga. The Site has all required urban services. d. Existing Conditions. The Union Street corridor is in fact a mixture of institutional and residential uses with some commercial uses n the Main Street frontage. The west side of the Unionstreet frontage includes the Unitarian Church (vacant) , the 'subject parcel, multifamily structure, Together Place, Isaac Farrar Mansion, and YWCA. The east side of the street includes a commercial parking lot (Ames Corp.), Clarendon Inn, Bangor Historic Society, and a office building (vacant Prudential Building). To the of the Union Street frontage on both sides of the street is generally multi -family. The subject parcel is a .3 acre parcel with a 8,000 sq. ft. building and 10 parking spaces. The size of the building would allow the proposed G s ISD e (presumably Shaw House) to generate quite a bit of activity on site, perhaps less however than a multi -family use of the building might. e. Decision Criteria. The basis for the City's zoning is its Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan appears to support the zoning request before you in that while there is not a specific Goverment and Institutional designation for this area there is a proposal for high intensity use. The 9]-124 site is immediately adjacent to other government and institutional uses and such uses require the proximity of a major street. The existing uses and conditions support the request. Staff would recommend that the Board recommend the zone change request to the City Council. ThisLsur ;y conforms to for veyors,Categc 1. No written report was issued as a result of this survey. 2.
