TO: MAYOR HORNADAY AND HOMER CITY COUNCIL

THRU: WALT WREDE, CITY MANAGER

FROM: BETH MCKIBBEN, CITY PLANNER

DATE: September 28, 2006

SUBJECT: Request to extend the General Commercial 1 to include the replated portion of the western portion of Oscar Munson Subdivision No. 4. Lot 2A-1.

At the regular meeting held September 20, 2006 the Homer Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing on the above referenced rezone. The Commission recommended the City Council approve the requested rezone.

Discussion

The applicant has requested a rezone of the western portion of Lot 2A-1 Oscar Munson Subdivision No. 4 from Rural Residential (RR) to General Commercial 1 (GC1). The eastern portion of Lot 2A-1 Oscar Munson Subdivision No. 4 is to remain zoned GG1. The lot is currently zoned both GC1 and RR. In 1983 a lot line vacation removed the common lot line and created a lot that was in two zoning districts.

There is a lot of history regarding this site which is covered in the attached staff report to the HAPC (SR 06-103).

Recommendation:

The Homer Advisory Planning Commission recommends the Homer City Council adopt the ordinance and amend the Zoning Map.
