In 1955 this was superceded by establishjnent of the <br />Northeast Orono District, an SFR district requiring 1-acre minimum lot area. This area was rezoned <br />in 1967 to R-IA SFR requiring 2-acre minimum lot area. In 1975 the 2-acre zoning district <br />designation was revised to RR-IB Rural Residential and the portion of this site in Section 25 was <br />rezoned RR-lB-1, an RR-IB subdistrict that allows non-profit "study and research centers" as an <br />additional permitted use. There are no other properties in Orono zoned RR-1B-1. <br />Because the portion of property zoned RR-lB-1 will no longer contain facilities for a "study and <br />research center".

No public comments <br />were forthcoming. Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning from RR-lB-1 to RR-IB.
