TO: MAYOR ZAK AND HOMER CITY COUNCIL
THROUGH: KATIE KOESTER, CITY MANAGER
FROM: RICK ABBOUD, CITY PLANNER
DATE: April 17, 2017
SUBJECT: DRAFT ORDINANCE 17-04(S), AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER, ALASKA, AMENDING HOMER CITY CODE 21.03.040 TO ADD A DEFINITION OF “TEMPORARY AUTO SALES” AND 21.30.020 TO ADD “TEMPORARY AUTO SALES” TO THE LIST OF PERMITTED USES IN THE MARINE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.
The Homer Advisory Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance at their meetings of February 15, 2017 and again on March 1, 2017. At the March 1st meeting, the commission entertained a motion to add temporary auto sale as a permitted use in the Marine Industrial District. The motion failed to 0-5. A motion to reconsider was submitted and subsequently approved at the meeting of March 15, 2017. The motion to reconsider allowed the Commission to hold a public hearing prior to making a recommendation. At this meeting, the Commission moved to approve a substitute ordinance, which provided language that addressed the intention of the Council, limiting the proposed amendment to only include consideration of temporary auto sales in the Marine Industrial District.
A public hearing was held at the meeting of April 5, 2017. As with other meetings, the Commission listened testimony of those who support the hockey association. A motion made in support of the substitute ordinance failed 1-5. The concerns expressed by the Commission included the fact that no one outside of those supporting fund raising activities for the Hockey Association testified (save the letter submitted by Mr. Griswold) and the use was not appropriate for the entire district.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Council moves the substitute ordinance for discussion and possible public hearing. The Planning Commission does not recommend adoption.
