ity of <br /> <br />**ITEM 3.6. ** <br /> <br />ver <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br /> Mayor and City Council <br /> <br /> Steven B. Ach, City Planner.~~ <br /> <br /> August 9, 1996 <br /> <br /> Rezoning of Area Between County <br /> Road 12 and County Road 13 <br /> <br />At the last Council meeting the issue was raised regarding the zoning of <br />Industrial Hard/acing and George Deschenes' property. The current zoning <br />of both these properties is Rlc (Single Family Residential) with an <br />underlying land use of LI (Light Industrial). The land use designation of <br />light industrial was established as part of the comprehensive plan update in <br />response to the need to identify future industrial opportunities. However, <br />when the rezoning was presented to the City Council on March 18, 1996, to <br />rezone Industrial Hardfacing, George Deschenes' as well as a portion of <br />Waddy Schultz's and other properties in the northeast corner of County Road <br />13 and County Road 12, the rezoning as it was presented to the City Council <br />was denied. There was some discussion by the Council regarding specifically <br />Industrial Hard/acing and George Deschenes' property that there should be <br />some consideration given to rezoning these two properties to light industrial. <br />It was staffs understanding that the application that was presented to the <br />City Council was denied in its entirety; however, if the Council would like to <br />initiate a rezoning request for George Deschenes and Industrial Hard/acing, <br />staff would be prepared to present this to the Planning Commission at the <br />October meeting and forward this rezoning to the Council on November 18th. <br /> <br />It was also discussed at the Council meeting on March 18 how the possible <br />realignment of County Road 12 and 13 could better define a possible <br />industrial area and use the roadway and wetlands to separate the industrial <br />land use from residential further to the east. Staff is continuing to work with <br />the County on these road alignments and once those are established, be in a <br />better position to present some industrial land use options to the Council for <br />consideration. However, ff the Council would like to proceed forward with <br />the rezoning of Industrial Hard/acing and George Deschenes' property at this <br />time, that application could be initiated by the City Council. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
