Action Requested: Ordinance
Title, Ordinance
Map/Lot: 054-223, 054-
224-C
Amending Chapter 165, Land Development Code, District Map to Re -zone Property Located at 364 State Street
from Neighborhood Service District (NSD) to Urban Service District (USD), and a Portion of the Property
Located at 410 State Street from Contract Government and Institutional Service District (G&ISD) to Urban
Service District (USD).
Summary
The applicant is seeking a zone change for the property at 364 State Street, Map -Lot 054-223, from the
Neighborhood Service District (NSD) to Urban Service District (USD) and for a portion of the property at 410
State Street, Map -Lot 054-224-C, from Contract Government and Institutional Service District (G&ISD) to
Urban Service District (USD). The total area requested to be changed is 0.5 acres and is shown in the attached
exhibit and described in the attached description.
The change to the USD district would allow for a greater variety of commercial uses on this lot, such as drive-
in businesses, animal clinics, and restaurants. The change would also remove the contract conditions from the
portion of property at 410 State Street, which currently limit the property to be used only for employee parking
and prevents a curb cut onto Otis Street.
The neighborhood has a mix of G&ISD, NSD, M&SD, URD-1, and URD-2 lots. The 2012 Comprehensive Plan
showed this area as commercial and institutional and the 2022 Comprehensive Plan shows this as having
limited commercial and institutional uses that are complementary to the surrounding area.

Anne Krieg AICP — Director of Community & Economic Development
Re: Planning Board Recommendation July 11, 2023
Zone Change—Map-Lot 054-223— Neighborhood Service District (NSD)to Urban
Service District (USD) and portion of Map-Lot 054-224-C —Contract Government
and Institutional Service District (G&ISD) to Urban Service District (USD)
Please accept this memorandum as the recommendation from the Planning Board for the noted item.
The Planning Board considered this item in a noticed public hearing on July 11, 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, Vice Chair Ted Brush, and Members Don
Meagher, Trish Hayes, Mike Bazinet, Ken Huhn, and Alternate Member Joshua Saucier.
Board members voted to recuse Member Trish Hayes from deliberation since she felt she had a
conflict of interest due to having a personal relationship with the project manager for the application.
Jason Vafiades from Atlantic Resource Consultants presented the application. He reviewed the
applicants' plans to add a drive-thru pharmacy at this location, which is why a change to the Urban
Service District (USD) is needed.
From the staff inemo:
A. The applicant is seeking a zone change for the property at 364 State Street, Map-Lot 054-
223, from the Neighborhood Service District (NSD) to Urban Service District (USD) and
for a portion of the property at 410 State Street, Map-Lot 054-224-C, from Contract
Government and Institutional Service District (G&ISD) to Urban Service District (USD).
B. The change to the USD district would allow for a greater variety of commercial uses on
this lot, such as drive-in businesses, animal clinics, and sit-down restaurants. The change
would also remove the contract conditions from the portion of property at 410 State Street,
which currently limit the property to be used only for employee parking, stipulates certain
buffer requirements, and provides limitations on creating a curb cut onto Otis Street.

CITY OF BANGOR PLANNING DIVISION
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL 7.11.23
364&410 Street—Map-Lots 054-223, 054-224-C
C. The neighborhood has a mix of G&ISD, NSD, M&SD, URD-1, and URD-2 lots. The 2012
Comprehensive Plan showed this area as commercial and institutional and the 2022
Comprehensive Plan shows this as having limited commercial and institutional uses that
are complementary to the surrounding area.
Chair Perkins asked about the current use. The applicant stated there was currently an
abandoned building on the site. Member Huhn asked if the applicants would be closing the
current pharmacy at 210 State Street (formerly known as Miller Drug). Matt Marston, Chief
Pharmacy Officer for Northern Light Health, approached the podium and confirmed this, stating
that it would not be feasible to renovate the current facility. Chair Perkins and Marston discussed
the changes that have been made over time to the current facility.
Huhn stated to the applicant that Board members have to consider all the uses that could be in
the new zone. Member Saucier asked if the main purpose of their zone change request was to
allow for the drive-thru use. Development Director Krieg confirmed this. Member Huhn asked if
the additional reason was that they couldn't do upgrades to the current location; Krieg confirmed
this as well. Perkins stated he didn't feel there were many differences between the current zoning
and the proposed zone.
There were no comments from the public.
Member Huhn made a motion to recommend to the City Council that the proposed zone change
ought to pass. Member Meagher seconded the motion. The motion passed 6:0 with all members
voting to approve.
