PLEASE READ PROCESSING PROCEDURE ON REVERSE SIDE 13-115 MEMORANDUM DATE: April 3, 2013 TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: David G. Gould, Planning Officer SUBJECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance 275 Center Street — Urban Residence 2 District (URD -2) to Government & Institutional Service District (G&ISD) Council Ordinance 13-115 Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on April 2, 2013, held a Public Hearing on the above zone change request. Chairman Sturgeon was excused from voting as he had a conflict of interest in that James W. Sewall Company represented M&7 Company in the rezoning application. Mr. Aaron Shaw, PE, of James W. Sewall Company representing M&J Company indicated that they are seeking to rezone 13,120 square feet of property at 275 Center Street from Urban Residence 2 District to Government and Institutional Service District. Mr. Shaw indicated that they found the proposal consistent with the City's Long Term Comprehensive Plan. Member Boothby asked Mr. Shaw what they intended to do on the property. Mr. Shaw indicated that they planned to expand the central parking at the Hospital. No one spoke either in favor of or in opposition to the requested zone change. Planning Officer Gould noted that the City's Land Use Policy for this portion of Center Street was established in the Comprehensive Plan 2000. While there has been some concern raised by the expansion of the hospital complex and its related impacts, the limits of that expansion are within the Comprehensive Plan. Member Boothby noted that the hospital should look at building a parking garage instead of expanding their surface parking and demolishing buildings. Mr. Gould noted they would need to rezone to construct a parking garage. The Planning Board voted six in favor and one opposed to recommend to the City Council that the zone change request contained in C.O. # 13-115 be approved.
