Excerpt from Staff Memorandum - May 7, 1996 Planning Board
Meeting
Item No. 5: Sone Change - 145 Harlow Street - Bangor Public
Library and City of Bangor - C.O. $ 96-197
a. General Description. This application requests a change
from sone
areas zoned URD -2 and Governeent and Institutional
Service to Downtown Development District. The area in
question is the site of the present Bangor Public Library
and some vacant land to the rear of the Library and e
vacant land owned by the City south of the Library site
fronting on Center Street (but excluding the site of the
Pierce Memorial). The total area of the site in question
is approximately 1.6 acme.
b. Lend Use and Zoning Policy. The Land Use Policy for this.
area is for commercial use and the Zoning Policy is for
Downtown Development District zoning. This would be
consistent with the request which is before the Board. The
existing zoning in the area is Goverment and Institutional
Services directly across the street in the City's parking
lot, Urban Service District on the inewdiately abutting
parcel to the north and Downtown Development District zoning
in the area diagonally across the street from the parcel at
the corner of Franklin and Marlow Streets. areas to the
rear of the site are zoned URD -2 in keeping with the City's
Land Use and Zoning Policy for the area at the top of the
hill on Center Street and Spring Street.
C. Urban Services.
Thea a in question is completely serviced
and located wall within the City's Primary Service area, so
that it is not an issue with this application.
d. Existinc Conditions. The parcel in question has housed the
Library for a number of years and is located on a busy
downtown commercial street which houses a similar range of
Governeent and Downtown connercial uses. The Governeent and
Institutional Service type uses are permitted uses in both
the G 6 ISD and Downtown Development District zoning, but
there is a difference in the development standards and
development requirements of such uses in the two zoning
districts.
e. Dxislon Makin Criteria. The basis of zoning decisions is
the consistency of the request with the City's Comprehensive
Plan (as required by State Statutes and legal precedence).
In this case, the proposed site is within the area proposed
for the Downtown Development District type of commercial use
and zoning. it is also consistent with the mix of
Gove relent and Institutional Service u90and Downtown
Development District uses in the area. For these reasons,
Staff would recommend that the zone change application be
recommiended to the City Council,
