� MINUTES OF THE . . <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> - � Tuesday,January 16,2007 <br />� ' , � � 6:00 o'clock p.m. � <br /> (#OG-3249 City of O►•ono, Outlot A Stonebay, Co�itinueci) <br /> ultimately failed to commit Walgreens or any other pharmacy retailer to the site and the approvals <br /> eventually expired with no development occurring on the site. <br /> �ii the sununer of 2006,IIempel Properties proposed a inedical off ce and retail ship center for the site, <br /> requesting a further amendment of ihe CMP to remove the condition tliat one of the buildings had to be a � <br /> � pliannacy/convenience store. Although the Plarnling Conunission recommended approval of such a a , <br /> . change,the City Council, after a rnmiUer of ineetings and much discussion,voted on September 25,2006, <br /> to deny the requested CMP amendment. Hempel subsequenfly formally witlidrew their application. <br /> There are cuirently no applications for development of Outlot A. The City Council has directed City <br /> Staff to proceed with a CMI'amendment that would,in effect, "undo"the changes that were adopted in <br /> . �004. The property owners have been notified via the standard mailed legal notice of this proposed <br /> � � ameiidment,but as of this writing, have not weighed in with Staff as to their position on the matter. The <br /> City Council has broad discretion to revise the Conlprehensive Plan as it sees fit after following the <br /> proper notification and public hearing process. , <br /> The City Attorney has•indicated that because the current RR-1B zoning does not match the Ciiy's intent . <br /> for Outlot A,nor the proposed guiding,the City should consider rezoning to a zone that reflects the City's <br /> � intent. The City purposely has not done so to date, and has simply Ueeii usuig the RR-1B zoning as a <br /> holding zone for this and other properties that were reguided from SFR to something else in past actions. <br /> The Council's intent for Outlot A appears to most closely match the B-6 disirict standards,which allows <br /> offices,banks,libraries, aiid motels/hotels. <br /> Gaffi•on requested the Plamung Commission discuss the following issues: <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission agree with the Council's intent to retuin to the fornler provisioiis <br /> of the CMP with re�ards to Outlot A? <br /> 2. Are there any specific elements of the original CMP language that should be revised or clarified <br /> ' with this amendment? <br /> 3. The Planning Cominission should consider whether there are any negative impacts associated <br /> wil-h proceeding with a rezoning of the site to match the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> 4. Does the P1lniiing Commission have any other concei-�is regarding the proposed amendment? <br /> Gaffron noted filiis property is currently zoned RR-1B, single-family, two-acre mininnun lot size. The <br /> rezoning ihat was a�proved in 2004 never took effect and the property was never rezoned fio match the � <br /> Com�rehensive Plan. Staff is recommending that the zoning be changed to a B-6 PUD. <br /> The Planning Cominission should hold the puUlic hearing, discuss the proposed amendtneilt, and make <br /> reconunendations to the City Council regarding the reguidin�and Yhe rezonuig of ihis property. <br /> PAGE 3 <br />
