Gould, Planning Officer SUBJECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance 229 Bomarc Road Council Ordinance 05-341 Please be advised that the Planning Board at its regularly scheduled meeting on November 1, 2005 held a public hearing on the above zone change request. Mr. Mike Wood, representing Woods of Maine, Inc., indicated that they are requesting a zone change to use the 4.1 -acre parcel for residential use; apartments possibly as condominiums. Woods of Maine Inc., is the developer of the abutting residential Woods of Maine Subdivision. Previously, the applicant received Planning Board approval to construct a warehouse and 30 self -storage units on this site. Mr. Brian Snowden, who lives on Lot 29 in the abutting Woodridge Subdivision, indicated that he had purchased his lot with the expectation that there would be storage buildings built next door. He indicated that he was very concerned that the applicant was now proposing to construct condominiums on this site. He said that with the storage building proposal he pictured them as a low -impact buffer with a fence that would provide more protection and privacy to his lot. Ms. Debbie Russell, owner of Lot 31 In the abutting subdivision, also spoke in opposition. She indicated that when she purchased the property she was told that nothing would be developed on the adjacent lot but storage units. She indicated that the applicant had just spoken to her and indicated that they are planning to build as many condominiums on this lot as the density will allow. She indicated that she did not like the idea of condominiums being built there and was very concerned. Ms. Russell wondered why all the residents in the subdivision did not get individual notice of the proposed rezoning as it abutted the commonly held open space parcel. Planning Officer Gould indicated that the open space parcel was included In the notice list, but that the tax assessment still goes to Woods of Maine Inc. It was noted that the parcel of land is at the south end of an area proposed for industrial use in the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Concepts Map. p5 -3V However, the Zoning Policy Map proposes it as Low -Density Residential. The basic issue for any zone change is its consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The industrial uses and zoning in the Boman: Industrial Park were encouraged there before the area's residential growth as a way to reuse the pre- existing Bomarc Missile Base, which originally was established there far from other development. The Planning Staff finds that the inconsistency between the maps of the Comprehensive Plan could allow it to go either way. Mr. Gould acted that the Urban industry District is the City's most intensive and least restrictive industrial district. While the City should continue to support the existing businesses in the park, it would be better for the surrounding and growing residential neighborhood that it not expand. Expansion of residential development in the area would be preferable. For this reason, Staff recommended that the Planning Board recommend approval of the zone change request After a discussion of potential contract buffer requirements and whether the parcel was better suited to industrial or residential uses the Planning Board voted 5-0 to recommend the proposed rezoning. mum D M ,A 5]7Ac
