Memo - Section 10.41 May 31. 1994 Page 3 TOs section adds a long list of aUo-vable "accessory uses". The B-2 Zone is the only commercial or residential zone in Orono with no code allowance for accessory uses. The Plannin'T Commission reviewed each proposed accessory use m the context that it must be subsidiary to a permitted use. No accessory use can exist unless a perrmned use exists on the property One of the Planning Commission s primary concerns was that reasonable accesson ’ uses be allowed, and per the format of Orono ’s zoning code, uses not isted are not allowed ■ This resulted in a fairly long list of accessory uses which are relatively specific m scope, it also resulted in careful review of those uses which should be conditional rather than accessor}'• . Subdhnsimi^^^ ^ conditional uses, including boat clubs, cn-demand launching transient launching, chatter boat port-of-call, lake/lake structure mamtenance snowmobile sales/service. Planning Commission found that each of these uses may be a legitimate and reasonable activity at a marina within the B-2 Zone under cetum cireumstances Ihe r^on concern being adequate parking on the site. Note that all listed “ndmona, uses are proposed to be allowed only for marinas that are in compliance with the landscapin, ^"‘‘.“C‘XbX“.dzed as an alternative to individual boat ownership, that would expand the usage of a given boat with potential for increasing the percentage of boa's in use at the peak'times. A limit on the percenuge of boats at a given marina allowed tor boat club use was considered but not recommended. • ^ . On-demand launching of customer owned boats stored on the business onlv customer parking but boat/trailer storage space. It is perhaps Lm'cD will require licensing of non-rack storage space for such use although LxMCD does currently license rack spaces for on-demand launching. Agam, absent an in en the City to funher regulate numbers of boats on the lake, site congestion and provision of adequate parking are the main concerns. j .u* □ *7 - Public transient bo ’at launching via a ramp has historically parking requirements (Subd. 8) but was never listed as a permmed Adequate parking is the main concern, and Planning Commission suggests that CouncU be able to control the hours of operation. hm mav .
