Amending Chapter 165, Land Development Code, District Map, by changing the Parcel of Land

Summary
This Ordinance seeks to change the zoning district for a portion of the lot addressed at 300 Bomarc
Road from Rural Residence and Agriculture (RR&A) to Urban Industry District (UID.) Most of the
subject lot is currently zoned UID; however, there is a strip of land in the rear of the lot that is zoned
RR&A. It is not known how this strip of land zoned RR&A was placed adjacent to UID. The last 2
Comprehensive Plans have this area as UID, as the land is part of the disposition of military
properties in Bangor in 1964.

Regarding: Zone Change — 300 Bomarc Road — Map -Lot — R38-003 — from
Rural Residence & Agricultural District (RR&A) to Urban Industry
District (UID) — Bomarc, Inc., applicant - To amend the Land
Development Code by changing a parcel land located at 300
Bomarc Road, Map -Lot R38-003, from Rural Residence &
Agricultural (RR&A) to Urban Industry District (UID). Said parcel of
land contains 36.2 acres. Bomarc, Inc., applicant.
Please accept this memorandum as an indication of the proceedings of the Planning
Board at their April 20, 2021 public hearing on the noted application. The meeting was
held on the city's Zoom account.
Fred Marshall of Plymouth Engineering, was present to represent the applicant. Rich
Trott of BOMARC was also present.
Krieg presented the staff report which included the following points:
A. This is a request from Bomarc to increase the area assigned to Urban
Industry District to contain the entire subject lot. Currently there is "ring" of
Rural Residence & Agriculture on the outer edge of the property.
B. Staff spent time looking to see how the lot came to be this way for zoning
and there was nothing in the file to suggest this "ring" of RR&A was done
purposefully. It is that the subject lot may have increased into the RR&A
district.
C. The BOMARC area is part of the dispostion of land from the military that
commenced in the 1960's.
City of Bangor

seconded by Member Meagher. All were in favor of the motion.
