ASSEMBLY AGENDA/MANAGER'S REPORT
THE CITY AND BOROUGH OF JUNEAU, ALASKA

Ordinance 2014-28(b) An Ordinance Amending the Official Zoning Map of the City and Borough to Change the Zoning of Douglas Townsite, Block 46, Lots 1 and 1A, Located at Dock Street and 1st Street in Downtown Douglas, from Waterfront Industrial (WI) to D-18.

MANAGER'S REPORT:

In January 2014, CDD received an application to rezone Lots 1 and 1A of Douglas Townsite Block 46, located at the Northeast corner of Dock Street and 1st Street, from WI (Waterfront Industrial) to D-18.  On February 26, 2014, staff held an informational meeting to discuss the proposed rezoning with all property owners in the affected area. 

The size of the lots and the development proposed is similar to the surrounding area as there are currently multi-family and single-family developments in the surrounding D-18 neighborhood.  Southeast across Dock Street is zoned WI.  Southwest is zoned LC (Light Commercial).

The requested rezone conforms to CBJ Land Use Code requirements.

The Planning Commission heard this request at its March 25, 2014 meeting, and recommended forwarding to the full Assembly for approval. 

The version (b) included in your packet (which shows the tracked changes) revises the ordinance to address some redundancy in the "whereas" clauses and by simplifying some of the text.

RECOMMENDATION:

The Manager recommends this ordinance be adopted.
