General Description. As a follow-up t0 the recent discussion as to the appropriateness of different types of industrial zoning on built-up areas on the Airport, the City has reviewed the area around the General Electric site to see what would be appropriate for inclusion in further Urban Industrial District zoning (as opposed to Industry and Service). The application before you includes in excess of 33 a of Airport property owned by the City which would be changed from industry and Service to Urban Industrial District and, a small piece, to Airport Development District. b. Land Use and zoning Policy. The proposed parcels are located amongst Airport Development District zoning Goverment and Institutional Service District zoning and Industry and Service zoning. As noted in our discussion of the previous change of the GB site the present I 6 S zoning is inappropriate for certain types of uses and difficult to apply on previously built-up sites due to site nonconformities, etc.. The area in question has a reservation fors railroad siding which previously extended all the way to the tank farm between Maine Avenue and Union Street and contains the tank farm itself. The tank farm is a permitted use in the UID Zone only and should have been zoned that way originally, while access to rail sidings is only permitted in UID zoned districts as well. (That is, permission to build a loading dock or site a building immediately adjacent to a rail siding for ease of loading and unloading is only permitted in that district.) C. Urban Services. Obviously, all these parcels are well serviced and are within the Primary Service Area in this area of the City. d. Existing Conditions. Currently, these sites are occupied by pre-existing site developments. The parcel next to Union Street as noted above have a tank farm on it for jet fuel and other aeronautical gas. There is a cluster of buildings in the area between Florida Avenue and the City's Public Works parcel off Maine Avenue. The former steam plant structure is located on the corner of the Johnson Avenue/Maine Avenue parcel (most of which had already been rezoned UID - the GE site). There are existing buildings in the Johnson Street/Florida Avenue/Maine Avenue/Hayes block. The railroad siding and a number of pre-existing buildings and site improvements exist around the parcel further down Maine Avenue. (The reason that part of this site is 94-299 proposed for Airport Development District is because it is contemplated that the reuse of this site will be limited to the area between Maine Avenue and the railroad right-of-way leaving what would be a landlocked piece of I s S zoning which is more appropriately zoned with the abutting Airport Development District properties). e. Recommendation. The basic criteria for zoning is that it be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with existing zoning and uses in the area. The Comprehensive Plan's zoning Policy Map indicates that most of this area be reserved for the Airport Development District. In this case, the proposed zone change from I S S to UID and ADD is neither more nor less consistent with the land use and zoning policy of the Comprehensive Plan. The basis for the proposal is that the change to DID i consistent with the Industrial zoning in the area and i s more appropriate industrial zone for these uses and these site developments. Staff would recommend that the Planning Board recommend the proposed zone change to the City Council. 94-299 . 7/1/93 APPLICATION FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND NAP AMENDMENT TO: THE CITY COUNCIL AND DATE THE PLANNING BOARD OF BANGOR, MAINE: NO. 1.
