Proposed Zone Change 40 Nelson Street from Parks and Open Space to Urban Residence 1 District
MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 4, 2019
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: David G. Gould, Planning Officer
SUBJECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance
Zone Change 40 Nelson Street Parks & Open Space to
Urban Residence 1 District - C. O. #19-312
Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on September 3, 2019,
2019 held a Public Hearing on the above Zone Change.
Chairman Ken Huhn opened the public hearing and asked the City representative
to make a brief presentation of the change.
The Director of Community and Economic Development provided the Board with
the background on the proposed ordinance change. She noted this City property could
provide housing in this location. The area is a mix of Parks and Open Space and URD-1
and UD2 Zoning. As such it is a potential location for housing development.
The Chair asked for other proponents.
Steve Hall, representing the development team indicated they have reached a
compromise with the abutting property owner Martin Brown such that their development
will be located to the south side of the property and Mr. Brown could acquire the
northerly portion behind his house. They would permit and initial structure off
Drummond Street and then a second structure on the land to be rezoned.
Martin Brown indicated he was a proponent of the change as it would provide for
him to acquire a portion of the land behind his him which he could possibly build on.
The Chairman asked for comments from the Planning Office.
Anne Krieg indicated she typically looks at two issues related to rezoning’s; what
are the differences in the two zones and their implications, and what guidance does the
Comprehensive plan provide. She noted the plan provides for some Parks and Open
Space Zoning and some low density residential zoning. Therefore consistency is not a
concern. Relative to adjacent zone there is a mix of single family and multifamily so
URD-1 should fit with existing development.
Chairman Huhn closed the public hearing.
Member Durgin made a motion to recommend the Zone Change to the City
Council Member Bazinet seconded the motion and the Board voted unanimously to
recommend the proposed amendment to the City Council as contained in C.O. #19-312.
