Gould, Planning Officer SUBJECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance - Zone Change - 10, 12, & 18 Second Street Avenue, 35 Second Street, and 10, 12, 14, 16-18 and 20 Sanford Street - Council Ordinance 10-086 Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on March 16, 2010, held a Public Hearing on the above zone change request. Attorney Andrew Hamilton represented the applicant, Bangor Young Men's Christian Association, d/b/a Bangor Y, in its rezoning application request to change nine parcels located on Second Street Avenue, Second Street and Sanford Street from Urban Residence 2 District to Government and Institutional Service District. Also present in support of this application were Attorney Jonathan Pottle with Eaton Peabody, Mike Seile, CEO of Bangor Y and several Bangor Y Board Members. Mr. Seile explained that the Y presently has two facilities and over the past 4 years has been looking at consolidating its operations at one site. A 2008 feasibility study indicated that the most cost effective approach would be to consolidate its programs to their Union Street site. In its quest to do this, the Y has either purchased or has a purchase and sales agreement to purchase nine properties along Second Street Avenue, Second Street and Sanford Street. He explained that in advance of any expansion plans, they are proposing (Phase I) to construct additional parking. The nine parcels under consideration will be used to create this parking. Phase II, which will come at a later date, will involve facility expansion. Attorney Hamilton outlined the zone change provisions indicating that zoning should be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. He discussed various elements of the 2005 Comprehensive Plan Update indicating that the proposed institutional use fits in with the Plan's goals and the use is appropriate for this area. There were no opponents to this zone change request. Planning Officer David Gould indicated that this is a zone change request for nine parcels of land containing approximately 1/2 acre of land from Urban Residence 2 District to Government and Institutional Service District. The YWCA has been at this location since the 1920's. When the Y approached the City relative to consolidation and expansion of its facilities the guidance provided was to look at expansions along the arterial roadways and limit the intrusion into the adjoining neighborhoods. The proposal brought forward by the Y essentially follows that guidance. The second item I would note is that the YWCA was built at a time when it largely served the immediate 6 neighborhood. As times and programs have changed, the Y now serves a much greater population traveling greater distances than before. Therefore, it's very prudent for the Y to look at the provision of parking as a first phase of their plans. In some instances in the past we have looked to contract zoning as an appropriate vehicle for parking expansions. However, in this instance it does not seem warranted to limit portions of the property to parking while the design is still evolving. Staff did not have concerns in recommending that the Board recommend approval to the City Council. Planning Board voted seven in favor and none opposed to recommend that the City Council adopt the proposed rezoning at 10, 12, & 18 Second Street Avenue, 35 Second Street, and 10, 12, 14, 16-18 and 20 Sanford Street as contained in Council Ordinance 10-086.
