James Ring, PE former City Engineer indicated to the Board the proposal was to rezone the land surrounding Bass Park into a Bass Park Zoning District that was created in 2004, but not put into place until this proposal. Mr. Ring noted that the district would facilitate the development of a new arena and civic center should the voters approve them. There were no other proponents or opponents. Planning Officer David Gould indicated in order to provide for the anticipated redevelopment of the Bangor Auditorium and Civic Center the 67 acres that presently are occupied by the Auditorium, race back grandstands and agricultural buildings are proposed to be rezoned into a single zone Bass Park District. Presently, the Auditorium is in a Government and Institutional Zone and race track, grandstands parking lot are in a Park & Open space District. A small portion of the site including the northerly driveway exiting to Buck Street near Bond Road is presently zoned Urban Residence 1 District This presumably was done to attempt to create a land use buffer between the homes on Bond Road and the racincing activity and horse hams at the adjacent track. The rezoning would leave a portion of the land adjacent to Bond Road in URD -1 but would include the northern drive in the Bass Park District, Julie Williams asked if the Municipal Golf Course would remain in Park and Open space. Mr. Gould indicated R would. The Board voted six in favor and none Opposed to recommend the City Council adopt rezoning 67 acres from Government and Institutional Service District, Park and Open Space District and Urban Residence 1 District to Bass Park District as contained in C. 0. u 11-099.
