This will help improve the accuracy and readability of the map. The boundaries of the Area will not change. The amendment also clarifies that the Area only includes parcels, not rights-of-way. This is in keeping with with current practice. This amendment would also correct several errors found in Chapter 71, the portion of the City Code dealing with the Bangor Center Revitalization Area. Chapter 71 was amended and replaced in its entirety in May. As is often the case with major ordinance revisions, there are a few errors that should be corrected. Furthermore, one ordinance change dealing with signs in public parks that was passed shortly before the major revision was not accounted for in the final version; this ordinance amendment would correct this oversight.
