A Conditional Use Permit for an accessory apartment on an undersized lot in a moderate landslide/avalanche area (USE2021 0004)
The applicant proposes a three-story building that will contain a 617 square foot single-family dwelling and a 397 square foot accessory apartment. The lot is not large enough to accommodate a duplex; however, a single-family dwelling with an accessory apartment no greater than 600 square feet may be permitted with an approved Conditional Use Permit. If approved, the associated Parking Waiver would waive the three required parking spaces.
A Parking Waiver to waive the three required parking spaces for a proposed single-family dwelling and accessory apartment (PWP2021 0001)
The current site design does not allow for any parking and maneuvering on-site. Based on minimum dimensional requirements for a parking space, one space could be provided in the front yard of the building, however, this space would directly abut the proposed arctic entry, there would not be adequate space on-site for maneuvering, and back-out parking into the right-of-way would be required. This Parking Waiver is associated with USE2021 0004.
Alternative Development Permits to reduce yard setbacks (ADP2021 0001, ADP2021 0002, & ADP2021 0003)
The applicant has requested three Alternative Development Permits for the development of a single-family dwelling and accessory apartment on an undersized lot in a moderate landslide/avalanche area. If approved, ADP2021 0001 would reduce the front yard setback from 20 feet to 9 feet 7 inches; ADP2021 0002 would reduce the eastern side yard setback from 5 feet to 2 feet 8 inches; ADP2021 0003 would reduce the western side yard setback from 5 feet to 2 feet 8 inches. These Alternative Development Permits are associated with USE2021 0004.
A text amendment proposing new zoning districts: Neighborhood Commercial, Mixed Use 3 (AME2020 0001)
Throughout the Borough, the public has expressed interest in incorporating small-scale commercial uses into medium-to-high density multi-family residential neighborhoods. There is also interest for incorporating neighborhood-scale mixed-use development along commercial corridors. The proposed zoning districts for the Auke Bay Area would integrate small-scale mixed use development into existing multi-family and commercial zoning districts.
A text amendment to include purpose statements for landscaping and vegetative cover to the CBJ Land Use Code (AME2020 0002)
The proposed purpose statements would regulate vegetative cover for stormwater and erosion control; landscaping would be regulated to minimize visual and noise impacts, increase compatibility between different land uses, and visually unify development.
A proposal to rezone a portion of the Auke Bay Center to Neighborhood Commercial, Mixed Use 3, and revision to landscape and vegetative standards (AME2015 0010)
A recommendation to rezone the Auke Bay Center to Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and Mixed Use 3 (MU3) to be in conformance with the Land Use Designations under the 2013 Comprehensive Plan and the Auke Bay Area Plan recommendations, and an additional recommendation for the removal of the Tanner Terrace Subdivision from the NC zoning district.
A text amendment to revise Title 49 to create the Auke Bay Overlay District (AME2021 0005)
A CBJ initiated text amendment that would amend the Title 49 Land Use Code to create the Auke Bay Overlay District. The purpose of the overlay district is to implement the Auke Bay Area Plan Land Use Vision through design standards and development bonuses that promote the creation of a lively, village-like community.
