PLEASE READ PROCESSING PROCEDURE ON REVERSE SIDE 14-156 MEMORANDUM DATE: May 7, 2014 TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: David G. Gould, Planning Officer SUBJECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance Off Venture Way and Corporate Drive from Government and Institutional Service District (G&ISD) to Technology and Service District (T&S) - Council Ordinance 14-156. Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on May 6, 2014, held a Public Hearing on the above zone change request. Planning Officer Gould explained that the rezoning request was the first step in expanding the Maine Business Enterprise Park (MBEP). Back in 2005 while preparing the Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Office envisioned a new zoning district that would better suit the needs of the Business Park. The Industry and Service District is better suited to old heavy manufacturing uses than the medical and office uses that have been attracted to the park. The 2005 Comprehensive Plan's Zoning Policy listed the park as "Business Park" awaiting the new district to be concluded. The land proposed to be changed is 6.85 acres just east of the current MBEP boundary. There were no other proponents or opponents to the rezoning request. Member Bolin noted that his employer controls two of the adjacent properties. The Board concluded that with the City acting as the applicant, no conflict existed for Member Bolin. Based on its consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and the other adjacent properties, Member Kenney made a motion to recommend approval of the proposed zone change to the City Council. Mr. Miller seconded the motion. The Board voted six in favor and one opposed to the motion to recommend that the City Council approve the rezoning from Government and Institutional Service District to Technology and Service District as contained in C.O. # 14-156.
