In 1955 this was superceded by establishment <br />of the Northeast Orono District, an SFR district requiring 1-acre minimum lot area. This area was <br />rezoned in 1967 to R-1A 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 tliis 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-1 B-1 will no longer contain facilities for a "study and <br />research center". Council requir^ in Condition 1 of Resolution No. 3902, that Spring Hill Golf Club <br />apply for rezoning of this property back to the underlying RR-IB Single Family Rural Residential <br />District, thereby eliminating the future possibility of a "study and research center" use. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning from RR-1 B-1 to RR-IB. <br />Options for Action <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />Recommend approval <br />Table for further information <br />Deny (state reasons) <br />Other
