C.O. 18-394 Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on November 6, 2018, held a Public Hearing on the above zone change request. Chairman Charles Boothby opened the public hearing and asked the applicant or their representative to present their request. Ed Bearor of Rudman - Winchell spoke, representing the applicant, RSQ, LLC. Mr. Bearor explained that the applicant wished to rezone the property in order to operate a bed & breakfast in the historic building located at 194 French Street, with parking located on the vacant parcel at 200 French Street. Mr. Bearor noted that this was an allowed use in the district and that the proposed use would not disrupt the character of the neighborhood, as there are a variety of uses on the block including medical office, religious buildings, multifamily housing, and others. Mr. Bearor noted that the property was bordered on two sides by Downtown Development District zoning, and multifamily housing on the other side. Chair Boothby asked for any proponents or opponents to the application; there were none. Member Brush asked Planning Officer Gould about for details on the legal definition of a bed & breakfast", and if said use required owner -occupancy. Mr. Gould explained that a bed & breakfast was limited to 30 occupants and does not require the owner to reside on-site. Chair Boothby asked for the Planning Officer's report. Mr. Gould noted that the City's Comprehensive Plan identifies the area for high-density residential use, however, the existing land use in this area is greatly varied, so the Planning office has no concerns with this request. Member Durgin moved to recommend the City Council approve the rezoning request. Member Brush seconded the motion. The Board voted unanimously to recommend the Council approve the requested zone change from URD -2 to M&SD contained in C.O. 18-394.
