RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission extend the rezone west to Capital Avenue, then forward a recommendation of APPROVAL to the Assembly.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
The applicant requests a rezone from MU2 to MU in the Aak’w Kwaan District. This project proposes a westward extension of less-restrictive MU zoning to 4.2 acres that encompass the Indian Village, the Andrew Hope Building, and current offices of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. This area includes the 3.7 acres in the applicant’s application, and a staff-proposed expansion of half an acre. This rezone would reduce zoning setbacks and facilitate canopies over sidewalks, improving conformity with the Willoughby District Land Use Plan, elements of which are incorporated by reference into the Comprehensive Plan. While MU has no height restrictions, future CDD and Commission decisions would be moderated through the Willoughby District Land Use Plan. CDD held a public meeting on December 6, 2022, and one member of the public attended.
