Gould, Planning Officer SUBJECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance Polk and Nevada Streets — Government and Institutional Service District (G&ISD) to Airport Development District (ADD) — Council Ordinance 16-145 Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on April 19, 2016, held a Public Hearing on the above zone change request. Vice -Chairman Boothby asked the applicant or their representative to make a brief presentation of the request. Mr. Fred Marshall of Plymouth Engineering indicated that the rezoning application was to allow this 2.58 -acre site to be reused for outdoor storage. The site with Building 457 on it were previously owned by the Maine National Guard until the early 1990's when the property was transferred to the City. Since then GE employees have used the parking lot. The City demolished Building 457 in 2015 and GE seeks use the site for an outdoor storage area which is not allowed in G&IS Districts. There were no other proponents or opponents to the rezoning request. Planning Officer Gould indicated that the request was to facilitate the reuse of the property for outdoor storage. When the Air Force passed the property to the Guard the City zoned it Civic and Institutional. In 1991 the current Land Use Ordinance was adopted with the successor zone of G&ISD in which it continued with the City's ownership. As is typically the case G&ISD zoning is largely based on the ownership of the parcel as a governmental agency or nonprofit entity. The parcel is surrounded on three sides by Airport Development District (ADD) Zoning that are also leased to General Electric. The Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Policy Map identifies this area surrounded by Griffin Road, Maine Avenue, and Polk Street as intended for industrial development. The Zoning Policy Map indicates it as Industry and Service zoning. Member Williams made a motion to recommend the proposed rezoning to the City Council. Member McCarthy seconded the motion. The Board voted six in favor and none opposed to recommend that the City Council approve the rezoning from Government and Institutional Service District to Airport Development District as contained in C.O. # 16-145.
