From: <br />Date: <br />Subject: <br />/ <br />Chair Hawn and Planning Commission Members <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />Mike Gadron, Planning Director <br />February 8,2001 <br />1^2638 (Part 2) City of Orono • Amend Section 10.45 B-6 District • Clinics <br />Lbl of Eahibils <br />A - Draft Amendment <br />B - Existing Section 10.45 <br />C - Public Hearing Notice <br />D - 2000-2020 CMP Excerpt <br />Summary <br />During the review of the B-b landscaping and architectural standards and in attempting to determine <br />which zoning district the Dunbar office project should fall under, staff concluded that rezoning to <br />B-6 would be necessary as opposed to B-4, because B-4 does not allow PUD*s. While the B-4 <br />Office and Professional District lists "Clinics. Clinics for human care on an outpatient basb only" <br />as a permitted use. the most closely related B-6 permitted use is "A. Offices (business and <br />professional)". <br />Staff feels it would be appropriate to add "Clinics for human care on an outpatient basis only" to the <br />list of pcmiitted uses in B-6. This would moic correctly accommodate the medical office building <br />proposed at the Dunbar site, and is generally in keeping with the City’s intent for the B-6 district as <br />identified in CMP Amendment #2 (the 1988 Highway 12 Corridor Study) which is carried forward <br />in the 2000-2020 CMP (Excerpt attached as Exhibit D). <br />This proposed amendmert has been published and officially noticed for a public hearing at your <br />February meeting. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment to add "Clinics for human care on an <br />outpatient basis only" to the list of permitted uses in the B-6 Highw ay Commercial District.
