PLANV�IC�ICr QIWI51ClN Memorandum To: Honorable Bangor City Council Deb Laurie, City Manager From: Anja Collette, Planning Analyst Date: May 3, 2023 CC: Courtney O'Donnell, Assistant City Manager David Szewczyk, City Solicitor Anne M Krieg AICP, Director of Community & Economic Development Re: Planning Board Recommendation May 2, 2023 Zone Change — 10 & 12 Walter Street — Map-Lot 025-140-A — Urban Service District (USD) to Multifamily and Service District (M&SD) Please accept this memorandum as the recommendation from the Planning Board for the noted item. The Planning Board considered this item in a posted and noticed public hearing on May 2, 2023. The meeting was conducted in the Council Chambers at City Hall and on Zoom. Members in attendance in the Chambers were the Chair, Reese Perkins, and Members Don Meagher, Ted Brush, Trish Hayes, Mike Bazinet, and Jonathan Boucher. Lafortune Cothia, the applicant, presented the application. He reviewed their plans to add two additional units to the existing duplex on the site. From the staff inemo: A. The applicant is seeking a zone change to the Multifamily and Service District (M&SD). The change to the M&SD district would allow for more residential uses on this lot, such as single family and multi-family dwellings, and community living arrangements. B. The neighborhood has a mix of USD, URD-1, URD-2, and some M&SD lots. The lot is close to Main Street and walkable to goods, services, parks, and schools. Member Brush asked if there would be sufficient off-street parking for the additional units. The applicant confirmed there would be; some of the backyard would be converted to parking. Member Brush asked if this would be paved; the applicant stated that it would be. There was some discussion between staff and Planning Board members on whether the applicant would need to return to the Planning Board for site plan approval to add 2 additional units. Planning Analyst Collette stated that it would not since that only applies to the creation of 3 or more units (in addition to what's existing, not total). 73 HARLOW STREET,BANGOR,ME 04401 TELEPHONE: (207)992-4280 FAX: (207) 945-4447 WWW.BANGORMAINE.GOV CITY OF BANGOR PLANNING DIVISION PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL 10& 12 Walter Street Chair Perkins and staff discussed allowances for residential in USD; staff confirmed USD only allows mixed commercial residential. Perkins asked that instead of re-zoning this property, whether USD could be modified to allow more residential uses. Planning Officer Krieg stated that could be a discussion with the Board, but that USD is typically geared towards more commercial uses since it's intended as a gateway, or transition, zone around areas like Main Street. Member of the public, Kelly Hashey, made comments about difficulty hearing some of the speakers and the need for closed captioning on the Zoom video. Member Meagher made a motion to recommend to the City Council that the district change ought to pass. Member Boucher seconded the motion. The motion passed 6:0 Anja Collette Page 2 � 2 IN CITY COUNCIL APRIL 24, 2023 COrd 23-129 First Reading and Referral to Planning Board Meeting of May 2, 2023 Vote: 7—0 Councilors Voting Yes: Leonard, Pelletier, Schaefer, Sprague, Tremble, Yacoubagha, Fournier Councilors Voting No: None Passed �����:,w�,��° '" .�� ��°,„�,��"���,°��*°.������ �� CITY CLERK IN CITY COUNCIL MAY 8, 2023 COrd 23-129 Motion made and seconded for Passage Vote: 7—0 Councilors Voting Yes: Leonard, Pelletier, Schaefer, Sprague, Tremble, Yacoubagha, Fournier Councilors Voting No: None Passed ���.�` � M,�� �������w������ � �s� CITY CLERK
