Bangor City Planning Board backs rezoning of 69 Perry Road to urban industry
Summary
The Bangor City Planning Board voted unanimously Nov. 5 to recommend rezoning 69 Perry Road (Map Lot R28‑009) from Industry & Service/contract Urban Industry to Urban Industry District, a request from owner KMD Development to accommodate expanded ambulance chassis production.
Bangor City — The Bangor City Planning Board voted Nov. 5 to recommend that City Council rezone 69 Perry Road (Map Lot R28‑009), a roughly 2.17‑acre parcel owned by KMD Development, from Industry & Service and contract Urban Industry to Urban Industry District.
Paul Daigle, who represented KMD at the meeting, said the company has expanded operations and is splitting production between facilities. "Our scope of business has changed quite a bit," Daigle said. He described moving some service functions and managing increased chassis deliveries used for ambulance assembly through the Bangor site.
Staff clarified terminology, noting that the historic C‑2 label corresponded to current contract UID and INS zoning, and explained that a successful zone change would negate contract zoning conditions tied to the parcel without requiring prior contracting parties to re‑sign. The board had no public commenters on the item.
A board member moved the recommendation that the amendment "ought to pass," a motion that was seconded and approved by roll call. The chair said staff will forward the board’s recommendation to City Council; depending on agenda timing it could appear at the next council meeting or the following one.
The board’s recommendation is advisory; final action on the rezoning rests with City Council. The transcript indicates the parcel contains approximately 2.17 acres and that KMD anticipates moving some service to Thatcher Street within 24 months.
