(GC&S) Council Ordinance 14-315
Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on October 21, 2014,
held a Public Hearing on the above zone change request.
Vice Chairman Paul Bolin noted that Alternate Member McCarthy could vote on
this item given the absence of Chairman Sturgeon and other members.
Attorney Andrew Hamilton represented the applicant, Longview Drive Plaza, LLC.
Mr. Hamilton introduced Brian Leahy of Saxon Partners and Longview Plaza, LLC.,
Patrick Netreba of BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. and Fred Marshal of Plymouth Engineering.
Attorney Hamilton indicating that the applicant was requesting a rezoning of a portion
of a parcel (9.9 acres) at the site of the existing vacant Home Depot. Mr. Hamilton
provided some background of other similarly zoned adjacent parcels. He noted the
request was consistent with the City's 2012 Comprehensive Plan.
There were no other proponents or opponents to the rezoning request.
Planning Officer Gould provided the background of the zoning in this location in
the late 1980's through present day. The City's Land Use and Zoning Policy is for
commercial zoning and General Commercial and Service District zoning is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan and adjacent properties.
Based on its consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and the other adjacent
properties, Mr. Boothby made a motion to recommend the proposed zone change to the
City Council. Ms. McCarthy seconded the motion. The Board voted unanimously in favor
of the motion to recommend that the City Council approve the rezoning from S&PS to
GC&S as contained in C.O. # 14-315.
