Item No. 13 ,0 2 7
Date: November 26, 2012
Item/Subject Ordinance, Amending Chapter 165, Land Development Code, of
the Code of the City of Bangor, Section 165-66 — Zoning District
Boundaries
Commentary:
The proposed Ordinance amendment is intended to provide more flexibility in how a property located in a
commercial or industrial development zone would provide for a transition yard or buffer between their
development and an adjacent residential property. The present standard requires a minimum of 20 additional
feet of setback which can render a significant portion of a commercial lot nonbuildable especially if the
existing setback is 25 to 30 feet wide. This item will be reviewed by the Planning Board at its December 4,
2012 meeting.
