Responsible Dept.: Planning
Action Requested: Ordinance Map/Lot: 045-011
Amending Chapter 165, Land Development Code, by Making a Contract Zone Change - 498 Essex Street -
Contract Government and Institutional Service District (G&ISD) to Contract Urban Service District (USD)
Summary
The applicant, Neurology Associates of Eastern Maine Real Estate Group, LLC, is requesting a contract zone
change for the 5.4 acre parcel at 498 Essex Street from contract Government and Institutional Service District
to contract Urban Service District.
This parcel was zoned to allow medical offices in 1984. A larger medical complex was proposed in 1994 on
10.25 acres adjoining this parcel. The proposed project never came to fruition.
The proposed change in contract conditions would allow for business and professional office use in addition to
the existing medical office space. Traffic generated by a business or professional office is typically less than
that generated by a medical office. The other contract conditions would remain the same.
