    _____________________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM TO: Tom Miragliuolo, Senior Planner, Municipal Planning Assistance CC: Tom Poirier, Director of Community Development, Town of Gorham Carol Eyerman, AICP, Town Planner From: Ben Smith, AICP, North Star Planning RE: Gorham Comprehensive Plan Amendments, South Gorham Future Land Use Date: March 11, 2021 _____________________________________________________________________________________ On behalf of the Town, I am pleased to submit the attached mapping and narrative amendments to the Town of Gorham Comprehensive Plan Update, 2016. Gorham has undertaken a process to update portions of its 2016 Plan relative to the South Gorham Crossroads growth area. Following a public hearing at the Town Council meeting on March 2, the Town Council approved the changes described here and attached to the memo: Map changes to the boundary between the South Gorham Crossroads area, a Mixed Use Growth Area, and the Village Expansion area, a Residential Growth Area, and Text changes in the narrative description of the South Gorham Crossroads area to: o Clarify and provide more detail in the vision for the non-residential component of mixed-use developments, and to o Emphasize the importance of the Stroudwater River as a natural resource within the growth area. This process began last summer after the committee drafting ordinance language for the South Gorham Crossroads area based on the 2016 Update encountered questions from property owners in the area about residential densities envisioned in the plan and the plan’s call for new non-residential uses to be part of mixed use project as opposed to stand alone uses. The Town Council charged an ad hoc Comprehensive Plan Amendment Committee to review all mapping and narrative associated with the South Gorham Crossroads and South Gorham Commercial areas.
