MEMORANDUM 09-05

 

To:       Mayor Hornaday and Homer City Council

From:  Rick Abboud, City Planner

Date:   January 6, 2009

RE:      Community Design Manual

 

The Homer Advisory Planning Commission recommended the City Council approve changes to the Community Design Manual (CDM), as part of the Scenic Gateway Overlay District. The District was created by an ordinance, and the CDM is amended by resolution. Originally, both the ordinance and the resolution were presented to the Council in spring 2008. The Council postponed deciding on the ordinance until a few months ago, when it was adopted. As a result, the resolution to amend the CDM is now back before the Council.

 

The resolution amending the CDM was originally adopted by Council in the spring, but then reconsidered since the ordinance to create the new district had not been passed. The resolution was postponed indefinitely, until a decision was made on the ordinance creating. Now that the new district is in place, the resolution is back before the Council to amend the CDM, as recommended by the Homer Advisory Planning Commission.

 

 

Recommendation: Approve the resolution
