DATE: October 6, 2011 SUBJECT: Proposed Land Use Map At the work session, we will resume working on the proposed land use map. If you recall, we postponed working on the map in June and began reviewing the land use tables. When we last worked on the map, the group had agreed to preliminary designations for the Suburban Residential and Rural Residential areas. In addition, the group had tentatively decided to consider areas abutting the Kenai Spur Highway, Beaver Loop Road, Bridge Access Road and Kalifornsky Beach Road as Mixed Use. The Commission considered the parcels along Redoubt Avenue and decided to remove the Mixed Use designation with the agreement that the area may be reconsidered during the process. Please bring your colored maps and any notes you have to the work session. Gary Greenberg, our GIS consultant, has been asked to assist us through the process. The goal is to complete a draft proposed land use map during the work session. If you have questions prior to the work session, don't hesitate to contact me. Blank Map Land Use Plan Classifications Suburban Residential The Suburban Residential district consists of single-family and multi family residential areas that are urban or suburban in character. The area is higher density, lots are typically smaller and public water and sewer services are required or planned. Streets should be developed to a paved standard and larger subdivisions should provide sidewalks and public areas. Rural Residential The Rural Residential district includes areas that, due to location or site conditions, are best suited for large -lot single-family low- density residential development. Homes in this district typically rely on individual on -site water supply and wastewater disposal systems. Streets typically are gravel and subdivisions do not include sidewalks. Mixed Use The Mixed Use district fosters a compatible mix of retail, service, office, public, institutional, recreational and multi family residential uses. The district does not prescribe specific proportions for these uses, only that all these uses are desirable within the district. The Mixed Use classification should accommodate existing similarly developed areas and areas along corridors to provide transitions between the corridor and residential zones. Commercial The Commercial district is intended to create a concentrated, vibrant, and attractive downtown business district which is convenient to both motorists and pedestrians. The district is designed to attract commerce from within and beyond the community itself. Industrial This classification includes areas used for production, manufacturing, processing, packaging, distribution, and other similar activities. The noise levels, odors and emissions typically generated are higher than other land uses and may adversely affect neighboring properties. Institutional The institutional district provides an area in which government and tax exempt institutions can offer social and cultural amenities to the citizens of the community. The primary use is public, non - profit, and quasi - public uses including government offices and facilities, schools, churches, and other community- service oriented facilities. Parks, Recreation and Open Space This classification includes public recreation facilities, as well as undeveloped lands intended to provide for conservation of natural or scenic resources. These areas can be used for a variety of passive and active outdoor and indoor sports and recreational activities. Areas that may provide future natural resource development should be included in this category.
