Ordinance Amendment Workshop – Outsize Rural Zoning Amendments The Planning Board is considering proposed amendments that would affect most of the existing zoning districts located outside of the Route 1 Bypass. If adopted, the amendments would result in the following changes: • Creation of the following new zoning districts: Outside Rural - 1, Outside Rural-2, Outside Rural-3, Residential 4, Residential 5, Route 3 Rural, Swan Lake Ave Mixed Use, and Outside Rural Special Use. • Elimination of the following existing zoning districts: Residential Agricultural I, Residential Agricultural II, Protection Rural, Protection Rural-2, General Purpose-A, Route 141 & Mill Lane Commercial, and Residential Growth. • Several properties in the Airport Growth zone are being included in the proposed Outside Rural-2 zone, an expansion of the Searsport Avenue Commercial zone to include properties located adjacent to Searsport Avenue that are now in the Route 141 & Mill Lane Commercial zone, and the renaming of the Residential II zone to the Residential 9 zone. The Planning Board notes that one of the key purposes of the proposed amendments is to create new options for the construction of additional housing in Belfast. 6.1 Staff Review 6.2 Board Discussion, Workshop and possible action on proposed Outside Rural Ordinance Amendments
