Memorandum 14-139
TO: MAYOR WYTHE AND HOMER CITY COUNCIL
FROM: RICK ABBOUD, CITY PLANNER
DATE: AUGUST 9, 2014
SUBJECT: DRAFT ORDINANCE AMENDING RO ZONING DISTRICT ALONG EAST END ROAD
As requested by the City Council, the Planning Commission reviewed the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendations in regards to the East End Road corridor found generally in the easterly direction from the intersection of East Hill Road. Much of information was covered in my memo (14-117, dated July 23, 2014) attached to the City Managers Report of July 28, 2014. After a very thorough review of the proposed area of consideration by Councilman Van Dyke, the comprehensive plan maps and text, all the permitted and conditionally permitted uses in the entire city, and the input (rather lack of) from 2 noticed public hearings (August 6 & 20) to all property owners in and adjacent to the proposal, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to oppose any zoning change at this time.
Many factors contributed to the decision of the Planning Commission. Outlined in Memo 14-117 was the desire to not pull business opportunities for infill out of the other business districts, concern about introducing additional congestion along East End Road in an area already dominated by turning lanes to East Hill Road and Paul Banks Elementary, and foremost the lack of support by any developer or property owner for the zoning change.
Recommendation:
The Homer Advisory Planning Commission recommends the City Council not change the current zoning along East End Road.
