The Planning Board considered this item in a noticed public hearing on August 20, 2024. The meeting was conducted in the Council Chambers at City Hall and on Zoom. Members in attendance in the Chambers were Chair Reese Perkins, Vice Chair Ted Brush, Members Trish Hayes, Jonathan Boucher, Don Meagher, and Mike Bazinet, and Alternate Member Janet Jonas. The applicant, Chris Proulx, discussed his application and that he desired the zone change in order to be able to add a duplex to the property. From the staff inemo: A. The applicant is seeking a zone change for their property located on 193 Warren Street from a combination of Urban Residence 1 District (URD-1) and Urban Residence 2 District (URD-2) to only Urban Residence 2 District (URD-2). The area around the property consists of primarily residential uses (both single family and multi-family), with both URD-1 and URD-2 abutting the property. The change to URD-2 would allow for up to 4 units to exist on the lot. B. This area is within the growth boundary shown in the 2022 Comprehensive Plan and the future land use map in the Plan shows this property in the Urban Neighborhood area, which consists of "medium to high-density residential neighborhoods" with limited complementary commercial and institutional uses. The Planning Division finds this proposed change to be in alignment with the Comprehensive Plan. Vice Chair Brush asked if LD 2003 would allow the applicant to add a duplex to this property. Planning Officer Collette stated that it wouldn't since the lot size wouldn't be large enough. 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 8.20.2024 193 Warren St—Map-Lot 035-081 There were no comments from the public. Member Boucher moved to recommend to City Council that the proposed change ought to pass. Member Bazinet seconded the motion. The motion passed 6:1 with all members except for Chair Perkins voting in favor.
