Responsible Deaartinent Planama Division
Commentary
To address the complicated Issue of zoning for the Bass Park Complex in light of the mono
proposal, the creation of a new zoning district called Bass Park District is proposed. The Bass
Park District would provide for the dynamic use of this property in keeping with community
objectives and new development opportunities for the area in the vicinity of Bass Park. The
proposed Bass Park District would encompass the Bangor Auditorium, Civic Center, Paul Bunyan
Park, Bangor Historic Track, grandstand, horse barns, and Parking areas. The Municipal Golf
Course would remain in the Park and Open Space District.
The existing uses of Bass Park and the proposed racino would be permitted uses in this new
district. The range of uses in this proposed district include the traditional recreational activities,
and innovative civic and commercial uses consistent with the overall development plan for the
Bass Parc complex that includes the creation of opportunities for the beneficial collocation of
compatible facilities. The Waterfront Development District serves as a model district of a
developing area that is Comprised predominantly of City -owned property, similar to Bass Park.
