MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON MARCH 7, 1995 <br />of PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING - FOURTH WORKSHOP <br />PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF ZONING CODE TO ALLOW DOMESTIC ABUSE <br />SHELTER AT PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2380 SHADYWOOD ROAD <br />• <br />( #4) REVIEW OF EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING OF AREA - ORONO <br />STAFF <br />A) GENERAL LAND USE ISSUES <br />The site is located in a LR -1C single family 1/2 acre minimum Lakeshore zoning area. <br />There is B -1 commercial zoning on two sides of the property. This zoning allows for <br />most types of business uses. B -4 is for professional and business office, B -3 for shopping <br />center, and LR- I B for one acre single family residential. <br />B) SPECIFIC ZONING ISSUES FOR NAVARRE SITE <br />Mabusth reported that the shelter cannot receive a land -use variance. The zoning would <br />need to be changed in one of these zones to allow this use. The church was given a <br />conditional -use permit. The options are to change the LRL -1C residential zoning to allow <br />a shelter as a conditional -use or re -zone to commercial and receive a conditional -use <br />permit in a commercial zone. The problem with this is if the shelter were to dissolve, what <br />would happen with the zoning. <br />Mabusth reported that the Planning Commission is leaning towards a possible conditional - <br />use permit within a residential zone, LR -IC, to allow a shelter. There are parking <br />concerns, especially with the need for service trucks in and out of the area. The Planning <br />Commission is agreeable with this site because of the proximity to public transportation, <br />S* <br />
