Homer Title 21 Update

The City of Homer is revising its zoning policies, which are found in Title 21 of the City Code. Zoning code governs how land may be used and helps achieve future land use goals established by the City's Comprehensive Plan. A well-written code provides the Planning Commission and staff with tools to effectively regulate development, protect and enhance the community, and clearly communicate development processes and requirements to applicants, such as residents, builders, developers, and businesses.

We welcome the ideas and experiences of local building and real estate professionals and other interested community members in crafting this revision. The intent of the update is to ensure that the zoning code

• is clear and addresses both current issues and those yet to come
• is easier to read and understand
• streamlines routine development activities
• considers the natural environment, especially natural hazards
• aligns well with community priorities outlined in the most recent comprehensive plan
