MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 17, 2007
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: David G. Gould, Planning Officer
SUBJECT: Amending Land Development Code
Chapter 165-107 Park & Open Space District
Council Ordinance 07-322
Please be advised that the Planning Board at its regularly scheduled
meeting on October 16, 2007 held a Public Hearing on the above land
Development Code Amendment.
Manning Officer Gould indicated that the proposed amendment to the
Park & Open Space District was drafted In anticipation that the portion of the
waterfront along the Penobscot River may be rezoned to Park & Open Space to
ensure its development as public green space.
The proposed change replaces the existing limitation on parking lots in the
P&O District to 50 spaces with a performance standard dealing with green
space, buffers, traffic calming and water quality improvements. There were no
proponents or opponents to the proposed amendment.
The Board discussed what methods would ensure those elements were
included in parking lot designs. Mr. Gould noted it would be a combination of
water quality standards that may be required, existing parking lot green space
and buffering requirements, and the Board's site plan review process.
The Board voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council to
approved the proposed teat amendment to 165-107 (9)b contained in C.O. 07-
322.
