Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission. I'm look Bertram senior plan, long-range planning division. >> One 0nd to sink at the correct presentation. As we We have 2 cases on the agenda. Pcc 2026. 0, 0, 2, 5, to amend the land use plan 2026, 0, 0, 2, 4, 2 men. The zoning just bit of background. In 2012, the in this body had rewritten title. 21 and removed some zoning districts from it. So as you can see. >> year. >> That involved removing the D 2 before and tease zoning districts from. The next edition of title. 21, which we currently use properties that were still zones, those districts had Pretty much been left to fall back to the old cold for anything with zoning, entitlements of any sort. So the main purpose of this map amendment and rezone is too address it. Finally get those off the map after more than a decade at this point. Also with that, we are. doing in the area wide since municipality has the. Authority to initiate results on parcels within. Municipality. This is just in the Anchorage Bowl. So not affecting anything into getting a river or down in Girdwood or turnagain arm. So starting with the comprehensive plan amendment, this will change the land use map designation of 2 parcels from community facility or institution and one person from town center, all of them to light industrial slash commercial designation right down here at. Huffman Road and Seward, Highway Area. So with the 2 parcels up. Here at 14, 0, one LaBar Street staff contacted the Anchorage School District. 2 confirm whether they had any plans to expand their facilities too. These parcels here since we did have them kind of marked with there existing facility here, but they do not have any long-term plans to do so. And then going down here to 1400 LaBar Street on this south parcel here it's just overall separate from the remaining town center area off of Huffman Road. There's no actual direct access between here ands the general nature of the. Of that kind of development right here on the bar is industrial. So kind of in the. Spirit of Anchorage, 2040, goal 9. We are really looking to preserve. Industrial uses. So with this project, we're looking to. Change the land use designation of these 3 parcels to light industrial commercial. also come into play with the rezoning which I'll get to in a little bit. Planning department finds that the proposed land land use amendment meets all the required approval criteria established in. Mc 21. 0, 3, 0, 7, 0 C 2. And the department recommends approval of the amendment to change the increased 2040 land plan land use designation of those 3 parcels us. And moving on to the rezoning. As said earlier before before Sunday, 2 zoning districts are no longer entitled. 21 and must follow the code from February 2013. We have the TR zoning district which refers back to the old tease, zoning District however, everything that's TR that still has to go back to the 2013 court anyways, even it's new name new does and so we're using the target Air area reasons to implement the encourage 2040 land use plan breakdown, roadblocks for property owners and staff to get rid of that discrepancy between old cold. A new cold. And also for. More information on those old zoning district since we don't really have them come by here much. I included some. More information off Many called here. So just some things to keep in mind as we get to. Each individual area that we have the rezone, the DEA to district. Was intended as kind of eventual residential use area and calls to the are district for permitted. For. Residential densities permitted uses permitted accessory, uses and structures that either it's exactly the same as our to him or very similar. So. Of existing ID, 2 properties were looking at that are too mnr 3. So winning district. Before. Small somewhere to be 3 zoning. So. We're looking at general. General Business B, 3 general business for those parcels and t. As I said earlier. Is what he ours now. As public notices, kind of courtesy planning staff sent mailers out to property owners. We did receive correspondence from 2 property owners asking for more information, but nothing in favor or in opposition. And we held an open house at the library here last Wednesday. We had one property owner with their parents attend the Open House, widely foreign and tendons right here. So kind of getting into where where breaking down the area reasons cross. 23 parcels around. Town. There are 13, 2 yards on parcels in the Sand Lake area near 64th Avenue Cranberry Street near Cars. Lake. The current designation in the 2040 land map is for single and two-family residential, which the implementation zoning district for. That is our one properties are already subject to our one standards. It's a bit small here, but Lang contiguous his aunt Land, contiguous to lands on Phillips intensive fuse. So. Pretty much the tease owning requirements need to be in line with that are one year since it is least intensive use. There also. Requirement that property owners of residential on land within 1000 feet of 2 on property shall be notified in writing the issuance of the building or land use permit. Effective date of permits will be no earlier than 30 days after the date of mailing a to use land, use a termination notification. So part of this to just proves that extra barrier for those property owners. There. And also hear that the pretty much anything built there needs to conform with the comp plan. So there functionally already follows our one somewhere. Really formalizing the map here and moving it from TR to our urban. Going back to that Huffman, Broad Seward Highway area, current designation is town Center and community facility or institution with the proposed designation that we've gone over everything here that would be in the town center designated area. We are looking at rezoning to be 3 and everything up here in the propose light industrial commercial designation. We'd be looking at rezoning to I one in alignment with the and U.S. really zoned areas over here. And then the area by totem theater at Muldoon Road and 32nd Avenue. The current designation is. The we do have a separate planning zoning commission case that came through last week that proposed to change the land designation here to commercial corridor. So with that one of the implementation zoning districts is B 3, which is why we're looking at going from before to be 3 at these 2 properties. So that's the old Peter site and the McDonald's there on Muldoon wrote. And then the last area we're looking at. Is on Dunbar Road Airport Heights area. We have 2 D 2 parcels. This one up here to the North has makes 10 city residential low designation and down here says makes sense. The residential medium designation. So too. Clean up the maps splits on here and 2. Get rid of those old zoning districts. We are looking at changing the zoning designation of this full parcel here to our 02:00AM. The. North here. And then this one here in the mix, sensitive residential, medium designation to our 3 zoning. Going to the criteria for approval. It is consistent with the comp plan. The zoning districts are going to be implementation just implementing zoning districts has set in the comprehensive plan. It would not result in an objective risk to health or safety. This. There's no development propose with distrust Israeli cleaning up the map and it does not conflict with other municipal state or federal colds, regulations and ordinances as municipality has the authority rezone land so the department finds rezoning request meets all approval criteria as outlined in. Mc 21, all 3, 1, 60 Elf or and we recommend approval of the request on. 23 parcels, thank you. Thank you. Are there any questions for staff? >> Commissioner Christian a >> sure. And generally we don't see that very many municipality initiator results. Could you just give us a little bit of history as to why these weren't completed in 2012 and any. Many reasons there. And then. Are there any? Changes to setbacks are allowable uses that we should be aware of as consider zonings these properties changing. >> Yes. So to get to the first part, we did. Have the opportunity we actually did finds mailers to the property owners from when cold came out for the new code was being written. Those were well before 2012 our files, but it never got completed for whatever reason our. Ordinance, 2. Initiate rezone says area wide rezonings. We didn't. Actually have that past until last year. So now we're using that really, too clean up the zoning map. And then to the second point, there are. Some changes from before to be 3. But since these are municipality initiated results one provision we have in court is that these would be legally nonconforming uses if anything is brought out of conformance in terms of setback or use. But they generally over line. Commissioner McKee. >> I have 2 for the parcel of it the community facility or institution, which is the school which proposes to have the adjacent property re zoned as industrial to the school express. Any concerns. I mean, they don't have a plan to expand into that area. But do they have any concerns about commercial or industrial development being adjacent to the to the facility. >> When we contacted ASD, they had no concerns. >> And then my other question regarding the parcel that's located in the vicinity of Airport Heights far reclassifying that from a residential industrial to 2 family residential, that areas primarily like trailer homes gets. So with that reclassification, if somebody should put forth a development plan require those folks to move or no longer be allowed to live in trailer home style. >> One cycle, just double check requirement. Parts of this came after our ordinance on relocate a Baldwin units. They are permitted in. Our 02:00AM with site plan. Earth started with that at site plan review. >> So with those folks have to come before a board to be given a variance to be allowed to remain in a trailer style home in this parcel. If it's rezoned. >> It would be nonconforming if there are any. >> Setback issues sense. going to that tax from the municipality initiated response any nonconformity that is created is. Legally grandfathered in. >> Thank you, chair. If current planning can just weigh in on that question as well. Sure. Through through the chair Commissioner McKee, it's a like leak was saying it's a and they are Sony District. Quite a new mobile home rent. Sorry, real capable doing it. Park would be under administrative site that this would be a facto. Like he was saying grandfather its but its defective. So if they ever came in and needed something, they'd for anything administratively or any entitlement, they would they it basically felt an administrative site plan urged plan and put defacto because there's no case. Yeah, thank you. That was my concern Any other questions for staff? >> Seeing We'll open the public hearing. Anyone wishing to testify on cases 2026. 0, 0, to 5, 2026 Dash 0, 0, 2, 4, please step forward. Nobody wishes to testify. We Probably not asked for Bunnell. The will close the public hearing. These cases, the maybe staff can talk to these folks and find out what case they want of. But I just close the public hearing. So. >> Chair Spinelli, would you be willing to reopen the public? Yeah, I I it's unclear to me if this is what they want to testify about. Just hopping in a is the property owner of this parcel right here with 2026 0, 0, 2, 4, on the rezone. Okay. So we will go ahead and reopen the public hearing and you can. >> Okay, will you? You could just come on forward. Step up to the mic. Turn it on state. Your name for the record. >> low. ♪ >> Yeah. I'm going pull it up a little bit higher. Yeah. There you go. Speak 100 are anywhere at it. What you find that. Okay. Sorry. Yeah. Just state your name for the record, OK? My name is Fred Laster, miscreants Kri and >> we spoke with the gentleman the other day and everything went Once again, we were the only ones that were there, you know, so they had a lot of time to do. >> Speak with this and go over the issues and everything. And I honestly don't have any issues what they're proposing. I was just in. We went over some things. I just I think I just feel like. Well for the properties down below in the large parcel. Their homes are already complete their full. They're there and this parcel that I purchase. There was a home there. But one of the conditions at the time with me in the realtors, everything where that it was, it didn't have a foundation. A lot of things were changed on and it was all it was pieced together. So they were going to basically. Get rid of it and then I could build anything. I wanted to own it. So as transitional when I spoke with someone at the municipality, a lady there, she said I didn't understand what even transitional man, you know, and she was basically saying you can do all these things with that property and I'm like, okay, great. So then we purchased or I purchased But if it changes to a residential and I know that they did say we can do a lot of things with this still, but I'm not sure that increases my taxes by a lot or if that will mean okay. You can only have one house with so many bedrooms or this or that they did overhead compartments, a lot of stuff. But feel like, you know, when you buy something at one point and then just a few late years later before you actually get to put something on it, you're losing just like I'm losing something. So I don't know. I don't know. I don't know much about the whole process. You know all that stuff. So we just thought we'd come down to listen in. See what happened That's about You do have 4 minutes left. I will ask you. >> You you mention that you feel like you're losing something? I think it would help us to know if you're. If you object to. The rezone from TR to R One. Just to kind of clearly stated. For the commission, as I guess I when I did buy it. >> That when I did go to the municipality and spoke with the lady there that she basically just like I said, informed us of all the things you could do with that. You as far as building and whatever. So. It just gives you a seems like a wide range of offices options that you're purchasing. You know you can do from here to here. And I don't know if residential by going to that would be like that closes that gap. You know, you can still do these few things. But if you change your mind at any time and you want to put some ice on the property, you can't do that now because she said I could like subdivide later down the road. Put, you know, anything all these things on an item. So but I yes. And the I maybe would. Staff like to weigh in on. >> Currently acceptable uses for TR zoning. So. There are a wide variety of uses that are permitted in TR generally. >> However, we do have this provision. Kind of an extra condition for land continues to lands on for less intensive use so. Lands on or in this case TR on now Post 2015 Ryan contiguous residential zone land shall be permitted to be used only in accordance with provisions and standards. Less intense are equal to provisions and standards allowed under this title for the lease intensive land use on within 1000 foot radius. So in other words, it's saying. Use and intensity. So going to setbacks heights, those kinds of standards. Are only permitted to be the same as the least intensive land use within 1000 feet of that parcel so. Now one year. Going through. The parcels within 1000 feet of there, the lease intensive zoning district in there is our one. So you are subject to our one at that property. Okay. And then this. I'm trying to get to the bottom of what I heard. So you did mention that he our does have a lot of other allowed uses. So without whoever the staff person he may have talked to. wasn't looking at the actual map and maybe that note about less the least restrictive. Jason zoning. >> It could have been mistakenly told that. He had several allowed uses. Is that correct? Yeah, that's definitely a possibility. Do you that kind of do you understand that what that means is like I I believe the way the code is written now. Is you may have been told that you are allowed to use all these other uses because the TR zoning would allow should in this particular instance, when you're adjacent to our one, you would be held to our one. So it doesn't sound to me like you're losing anything. But I have another question from another Commissioner Commissioner Ricky. >> And this might be a question for staff, one of the things I heard the the person speaking before Fred, was asked if he be allowed to still subdividing property. So would he be allowed to subdivide this? This tract of land under our one? >> In terms of size requirements, it is much larger than to our one lots. I know if I can answer that right now right here, given any other constraints with, you know, water, sewer. Site, access, that kind of thing so we would need to. Have a bit more discussion a bit more of a look in the property before. Getting to anything. Anything really solid there. >> And it looks like under our one he be allowed to have single-family and into family buildings. What other types of buildings would have been allowed under TR that may or may not be allowed under this r-one classification. Since they are. One is with. >> Or since this TR parcel is within 1000 feet of our one, it is the same uses. What is permitted now for says what is permitted in our one. >> Would you mind sharing a little bit about what those structures might be? Please? >> Yes, you know. So in our one, the permit single-family detached homes, 2 family dwellings, which can be attached or detached. Relocate dwelling unit starter. Similar to mobile home. System, living facilities with 3 to 8 residents are permitted with 9 or more residents. It's a conditional use. villa Tate of care facilities. Up to 8 residents are permitted and are conditional use with 9 to 25 residents. Otherwise we got I don't care facilities. 3 to 8 residents are permitted and it's conditional use with 9 or more. Child care centers are a conditional use for 9 more children. Child care home up to 8 children is permitted there. >> think that's and then I mean, some. Public buildings like Libraries rec center. Our permitted admin site review. >> And those would all be allowed into the R one. Yes, Thank you. And also since we had discussed this accessory dwelling units also permitted. So. They're really allowed up to it. 3 dwelling units on a property with that, a duplex that is permitted and accessory dwelling unit on top of that. Just that 3rd one would be. Subject to accessory dwelling unit size requirements. Other you specific standards we haven't called in. Yeah. So it be. Again, very, very dependent on you would build there as the House side. You have my business card. If you are interested in. Building one in the future. Oh, yeah. Definitely been some >> It's just it's just a huge chunk. I was just thinking it's almost like having a clean slate, you know, and it's the size of for the residential is next to it. And having a clean slate as opposed to the others that have things I know they can't really do a whole lot, you know, cause they're kind of locked into the house of their own. The property already where this is like. Do what you will. You know, as far as places. But right. >> Mr. Hatcher. Thanks. Chair Spinelli through the chair MIS Commissioner McKee. And in answer to the development of the slot. I aww have first hot second here. This lots all connected by extending connections. It's at the end of a dead-end cul-de-sac that section of cul-de-sac, the adjacent Prost Properties, Park property. So there's not even right of way to actually connect to this parcel. So subdividing this person would be buried. Difficult. Not impossible, but really difficult publish main line extension for both water and sewer to serve if they were to train do that. But I would like to remind the commission that this proposal does not change. >> Their ability to propose a subdivision they can still propose to subdivide. And try to solve those problems. They weigh into. >> I just want to point out that the minimum lot size in the tier 2 years on the 7,000 Square feet, they are one on its 6,000 square feet. So that's another piece of next. >> They're just letting you know that if you were to choose to subdivide are one would actually allow smaller lots or essentially more lots in theory. I see no further questions from the commission. So thank you for your testimony. Thanks for being here. I appreciate it. >> And is anybody else wishing to testify on this matter? Please step forward. Yeah, you're good. Last chance before we close the public hearing again, anybody. We closing the public hearing. Staff. Did you have any rebuttal you wanted to add? Not at this time. All Remind the commission, we will need 2 motions, one for each case. What is the willed body? Commissioner? Ron, would you like to stay motion? Thank you, chair. I move in case 2026 Dash 0, 0, to 5 to recommend the Anchorage Assembly. Approval of the amendment to the Anchorage 2040 land use plan land use suffocation from community facility or an institution and town center. 2. >> Light industrial slash commercial. >> Commish. That's seconded by commissioner about the commissioner. Ron, would you like to speak your motion? Thank March Air. A few findings of fact. land use plan these land use plan changes will facilitate updating the zoning in the area to modern zoning. Updating these parcels to modern zoning will supply the Anchorage land use system and provide additional certainty and consistency for property owners. And additional finding. The municipality has at least 91 acres of property that are still using the zoning districts of old-style. 21. And as we heard in testimony tonight, Anchorage School District, which joining landowner Express no opposition to the proposal. Thank you. Thank you. Anybody else wishing to speak to the motion. Hearing none. We'll call for the vote. That motion passes. Next will be looking for a motion in case 2020 success or 0, 2, 4, >> Commissioner Christian, would you like state motion? >> Yes, I move in. Case 2026. Dash. 0, 0, 2, 4, to recommend to the Anchorage Assembly. Approval of the rezoning of approximately 90.8 acres of land in the Anchorage Bowl from before de 2 and T R districts to R One R 02:00AM are 3 P 3 and the island districts. >> Seconded by commissioner about the Commissioner. Christian. Would you like to speak your motion? >> Yes, I intend to support this motion. I would add as findings that the municipality has at least 91 acres, the property that are still using the zoning old title. 21 updating these parcels to modern zoning will simplify the encourage land use system and provide additional certainty and consistency for property owners. This case meets the approval criteria of MC 21. 0, 3, 1, 6, 0, l I would also add as comments. You know, we have heard about many years ago and that with this change, the department has, I believe finally moved our land use regime entirely away from being dependent on districts that are not found in current title. 21, a process that was first initiated as we heard, maybe even before that year 2012. And with this, they've completed a more than decade-long process for city side like to very much thank staff for their work on >> Plaintiff information. Not quite unfortunately, not quite okay. getting there. This is a good for staff made significant progress towards that goal, which has been many decades in the making. Thank you. >> Anyone else wishing to speak to the motion. Hearing, seeing none. We'll call for the vote. That motion passes. Next item case, 2026 Dash, 0, 0, 1, 0, May we please have the staff presentation? >> Thank you, Mister Chair Dame can foster learning planning on just give a very quick overview. Pc case. 20 weeks, 6, 1, 0 plan Department and PC review of a draft ordinance to sunset Urban Design Commission member Brawley was here earlier talking about this. She has sponsored this for just to clarify any confusion. You may have 26 12 go through the assembly. That was not this one. That was change the sunset date to give a little more time for this case to go through. So this item was sponsored by member Brawley. We recommend referring to the material she provided. Robert, there's some difficulties in getting court for this board or somebody having enough cases to review functions can sometimes be confusing. Some of the functions have been in corporate in a coat over time. The UTC currently urban Design Commission current looks at cases like Appeals of Administrative site. Plan reviews. Major site plan reviews for non residential development of certain size sodas. Preliminary plats plants in hand for streets that or a certain size or larger certain types of variances appeals to director's decision about bring character says in compliance. And something else. Moallem area addition plan which is never been used I'll note that in the work session before this meeting, the commission talked about the types of work. The UTC does. How many the those types of cases the planning zoning Commission might absorb and they talked about how there really aren't that many cases. You know, we may between 7 and 10 each year and it doesn't seem to owners to do that and maybe in the future that be a discussion about some cases, if it was sunset would go to the like go to PCC. But they it seems like the workload would not be too much. Also, plans on talked about getting more training for taking on appeals. How many members might be needed different boards using alternative. So I recommend anybody to look at the recording from that when it's posted on. There's some discussion on that as well. So just in 2025, for example, Udc heard 7 cases approximate cost staff time of $20,000 to compile staff reports attend the meetings Proxima volunteer time from the commissioner. Cdc commissioners. It's about 350 hours. So asking a lot from our volunteer commissioners. Staff finds that this meets as a text amendment and meets the criteria Anchorage municipal code. 21. 0, 3, to 10 D we did provide some suggest the findings in the packet. You can test and see if we did that right. Considering discussion last week propose another one that, you know, the commission also held a work session discussion EDC and its functions. Part of the meeting. So with that, I'd be glad to answer any questions. We have a bunch of staff here as well. Any questions for staff? Here and seeing none. We'll move to the public hearing. Is there anyone from the public wishing to testify and case 2026 Dash 0, 0, 1, 0, Were there any questions? For staff? The public hearing is open. Anybody wishing to testify, please step forward. A hearing seeing none last chair. Did you want to come forward to fund the Know? Hearing seeing none? close this public hearing. What is the will of the body? Commissioner McKee? Would you like to state your motion? >> I move in case 2, 0, 2, 6 Dash, 0, 0, 1, 0, to recommend to the Anchorage Assembly, approval of the amendment to the Anchorage Municipal Food title. 21 to sunset the Urban Design Commission. >> Thank you. That seconded by Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner McKee. Would you like to speak to your motion? >> I am the current Urban Design Commission chair and I've served on the UTC for several years. Based consideration of staff aficion see and cost of time and demands to the people who volunteer to serve on the committee. The Urban Design Commission does not currently meet municipal means. And the planning Department did not receive reviewing agency or public comments in opposition and has a current member of to see and do think it would be sufficient and best use of volunteers time and staff resources to roll over the cases that come before UTC into another commission. >> Thank you. Anybody else wishing to speak to the motion. Commissioner Ron. Thank you, Mr. Chair comment. >> And tennis sport the motion and would like to thank. >> All current and former members of the DC for their work on the commission. >> the proponent and the department for moving forward with the sufficiency recognizing for moving direction for our boards and commissions. Thank you. >> Anybody else wishing to speak to the motion. >> I will also add that I intend to also support and Echo commissioner runs. Thanks to staff and you do see members and especially Commissioner McKee and thank you for agreeing to join us. >> Misspent. >> Chair, Spin Alley to the commission as a body and especially to Commissioner McKee. I just wanted to say again, what I've already said, too. Utc in a previous meeting a little while ago that. The municipality wreck recognizes the value that Udc has prot to the community and has a deep appreciation for the time and energy that the commissioners have spent over the years helping our community realize our goals and our vision for the municipality. So thank you again. >> All right. Anybody else wishing to speak to the motion. Here and seeing none will call for the vote. That motion passes. >> Mr. Gardiner you on bridge. Mr. Gardner. >> Yeah, we're gonna have a couple minute break here. Well, we try to get Commissioner Gardner on the phone. >> We're going to get started again and will let the record reflect that. Commissioner Gardner has joined us. The phone. And we'll ask a staff presentation on case 2026 Dash 0 0 4 2 >> Thank you. Chair Spinelli for those who are in attendance at February 9th meeting. This is the corresponding Chapter 9 Amendment to the Hardwood Air Port Rezone. For those who remember that one, that was case 2026, 0, 0, 1, 5, for the state of Alaska property. If you'll turn with me to page 6 of the staff report. Under the zoning district, the changes are those that are underlined propose that are underlined and everything that is capitalized and within brackets will be debated. So that's the change to chapter 9. For the definition of girdwood airport on Page 7 is the correction to the table. This is eliminating. There were 2.
