PLEASE READ PROCESSING PROCEDURE ON REVERSE SIDE 15-291 AUGUST 24, 2015 MEMORANDUM DATE: September 9, 2015 TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: David G. Gould, Planning Officer SUBJECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance 22 Cleveland Street - Government and Institutional Service District (G&ISD) to Shopping and Personal Service District (S&PS)- Council Ordinance 15-291 . Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on September 1, 2015, held a Public Hearing on the above zone change request. Chairman Paul Bolin asked the applicant or their representative to make a brief presentation of the request. Mr. Steve Bolduc of the City's Economic Development Office indicated that the rezoning application was to allow this property to be reused as a hotel. The property was previously owned by the Maine Air National Guard as housing and then temporary quarters, as needed. Since that time they have developed new quarters and the City is seeking a reuse of the building. Mr. John Karnes noted that he often hears of folks looking for short term rental accommodations. His intention is to develop a 42 -unit extended stay hotel. 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 Pine Tree Inn as a hotel. The Shopping and Personal Service District has the least impact of the commercial zones that allow for a hotel. The City's deed will include other limitations to prohibit auto service, drive-in businesses, outdoor storage and display. The Comprehensive Plan has always envisioned the expansion of the Maine Business Enterprise Park. This building is currently available but, we anticipate more discussion on the surrounding City property in the future. Member Mallar asked if the rezoning could be a contract zone and not require a public street. Mr. John Theriault told the Board that the acceptance of this portion of Cleveland Street would go before the City Council at their next regular meeting. 15-291 AUGUST 24, 2015 Planning Officer Gould explained that hotels are not allowed in G&ISD although they do not have a minimum lot area. Member Boothby made a motion to recommend the proposed rezoning to the City Council. Member Kenney 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 (G&ISD) to Shopping and Personal Service District as contained in C.O. # 15-291.
