GU 010-k (SR HAMMOND --T M&--,S---D D-DD GAISD Proposed Change DDD to G&ISD 17-201 JUNE 12, 2017 MEMORANDUM DATE: June 21, 2017 TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: David G. Gould, Planning Officer SUBJECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance Hammond Street — Downtown Development District contract to Government & Institutional Service District (G&ISD) — Council Ordinance 17-201 Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on June 20, 2017, held a Public Hearing on the above zone change request. Chairman Kenney opened the Public Hearing and asked the applicant or their representative to make a brief presentation of their application. Mr. Ed Bearor, Esquire indicated that he represented Penobscot County in this rezoning request. With Mr. Bearor was Judy Alexander, County Finance Director. The property is the former location of the Bangor YMCA, which was briefly rezoned to Downtown Development Distract. The County has acquired the property due to its close proximity to existing county facilities. The previous Government and Institutional Service District is best suited to the County's use. Planning Officer Gould advised the Board that the applicants' rezoning request would return the property to Government and Institutional Service District which was the zoning when it was the YMCA. Mr. Gould noted a few contract conditions which were part of the prior Downtown Development District; to preserve the surface parking and maintain the scale of the existing building. There were no opponents to the rezoning. The Board discussed the potential reuses of the building and associated costs in building more jail space. The Board agreed the Government and Institutional Service District (G&ISD) was the appropriate zone for the County property. Member Durgin made a motion to recommend that the City Council pass the rezoning request of Penobscot County from contract Downtown Development District to Government & Institutional Service District (G&ISD) — Council Ordinance 17-201. Member LeBlanc seconded the motion and the Board voted unanimously to recommend the rezoning request.
