   Applicant: RESPEC

   Location: 3050 Fritz Cove Road

    

   DIRECTOR'S REPORT

   The applicant requests the variance to accommodate a 1,400 square foot garage.  The Applicant states the garage is for improved ADA access.  The applicant has an existing attached garage with ADA-compliant doors, and an attached carport.  The Applicant has an existing  detached 800 square foot garage, built despite a Planning Commission decision denying it.

   RECOMMENDATION

   Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the Director’s analysis and findings and deny VAR2023 0001.

2. 3.USE2023 0010: A Conditional Use Permit for mixed use development:  Up to 50,000 square feet of retail and related uses, underground bus staging and vehicle parking, and a park. APPROVED as RECOMMENDED.

   Applicant: Huna Totem Corporation

   Location: 0 Egan Drive

   DIRECTOR'S REPORT

    The Applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for uplands development that was previously proposed under USE2023 0003.  The differences between this application and USE2023 0003 are:

   •                The dock is not included, it was approved.

   •                There is no phasing.  The proposal is for one project.

   •                The site will include a cultural and science center.  Under the previous application, 40,000 square feet was proposed for one of three uses:  Housing, retail, or a cultural center. In this proposal, the applicant has determined that the structure will be developed as a culture and science center. 

   This application focuses on code and plan compliance of this proposal and is part of a larger process. All proposed uses are permissible in the Mixed Use 2 zoning district.

   RECOMMENDATION

   Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the Director’s analysis and findings and APPROVE Conditional Use Permit 2023 0010.
