MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 7, 2017
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: David G. Gould, Planning Officer
SUBJECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance
129 Third Street — Urban Residence 2 District to
Government and Institutional Service District (G&ISD)
(G&ISD) - Council Ordinance 17-181
Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on June 6, 2017, held a
Public Hearing on the above zone change request.
Chairman John Kenney asked the applicant or their representative to make a
brief presentation of the request.
Pastor Terry Dinkins indicated that he represented the Mansion Church,
requesting the property be rezoned from to Urban Residence 2 District to Government
and Institutional Service District. He indicated the current owners would gift the
building to the church such they could provide their services to the people in the
neighborhood. Pastor Dinkins noted the church had work with prison ministries and
people with drug and alcohol addictions.
Member Guerrette asked what type of uses would be allowed in G&ISD.
Mr. Gould noted that the first use listed in G&ISD was "facilities operated by
public agencies or private nonprofit organizations limited to health education social
welfare and cultural uses". This is a wide variety of potential users, such as Husson
University, Penobscot County, City of Bangor, State of Maine and a host of nonprofit
entities which could operate programs from a G&ISD zoned property.
Irene Larrabe noted she was a member of the church and many members did
not have cars and would walk to services or get rides in the Church Van.
Other church members spoke of the assistance the church had provided them to
improve their lives.
Planning Officer Gould indicated that the request was to rezone a fairly small lot
in a residentail area to a Government and Institutional District. The parcel was mostly
covered by building and there was very little room for off street parking. The thrift store
likely has some grandfathered parking, but may not equal with has be projected as the
occupancy of the proposed church.
As with all rezoning's the decision for the City to make is, "is the request
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan". The Plan graphically lays out commercial

areas, industrial areas, residential areas and areas for future growth of similar uses.
While there are some large institutional areas it's much harder for the plan to predict
where an institution may want to locate. The Board should hear from proponents and
opponents and decide if the district can fit into the neighborhood.
The Board discussed parking and other potential uses in G&ISD as a concern. As
to a potential contract zone, Mr. Gould noted there were not a lot of options for this
property given its size and nonconformities.
Member Boothby made a motion to recommend the City Council adopt C.O. #
17- 181, amending the Zoning of 126 Third Street from Urban Residence 2 District to a
Government and Institutional Service District. Member McCarthy seconded the motion.
The Board voted none in favor and seven opposed. The Board therefore voted to
not to recommend the City Council pass C.O. #17-181.
