Seward Street • Juneau, AK 99801 Date: February 24, 2020 TO: Michael LeVine, Planning Commission Chair FROM: Allison Eddins, Planner II CASE NO.: AME2020-0001 & AME2015-0010 RE: Amendments to CBJ Land Use Code to include NC and MU3 zoning districts (AME2020-01) and proposed rezone and overly district for Auke Bay Center (AME2015-0010) CDD staff and the Auke Bay Area Plan Implementation Ad Hoc Committee of the Planning Commission are proposing amendments to the CBJ Land Use Code 49.25 for the addition of zoning districts Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and Mixed Use 3 (MU3) and CBJ 49.70 for the addition of the Auke Bay Overlay District. Background In 2017, CDD received two rezone requests from five property owners for lots fronting Glacier Highway in Auke Bay. AME2017-0005 was a request to rezone approximately 30 acres from D10(T)D15 to GC. This application was later withdrawn. AME2017-0013 was a request from four property owners to rezone approximately 7 acres from D10 to LC. Staff recommend approval but noted that, although close, LC does not entirely comply with the Auke Bay Area Plan or the Comprehensive Plan. On December 12, 2017, the Planning Commission denied the rezone request and a motion for reconsideration failed at the January 23, 2018 meeting. The Ad Hoc Committee formed in January 2018. During this time, the Ad Hoc Committee held 17 public work sessions, where public testimony was taken in the form of written comments, and a series of seven neighborhood meetings in Auke Bay where staff presented the details of the proposed zoning districts and the overlay district. Ad Hoc Committee members attended these neighborhood meetings. Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and Mixed Use 3 (MU3) The proposed NC and MU3 zoning districts are consistent with Medium Density Residential (MDR), High Density Residential (HDR), Traditional Town Center (TTC) and Marine/Mixed Use (M/MU) Comp. Plan land use designations. The proposed zoning districts place a greater emphasis on mixed use development of small scale commercial and medium to high density residential with flexible setbacks that encourage the development of pedestrian-oriented buildings. Commercial development within the NC and MU3 zoning districts will be on a smaller scale than the MU, MU2, LC and GC zoning district while allowing for more commercial uses than are currently allowed in multi-family zoning districts. Currently within the Auke Bay Center boundary as identified in the Auke Bay Area Plan (ABAP) there are seven zoning districts: D3, D10, D10 (T) D15, D15, LC, GC and WC. This variety of zoning within a small area can lead to  Packet Page 3 of 47 Michael LeVine, Planning Commission Chair AME2020-0001 & AME2015-0010 Page 2 of 2 the development of incompatible uses that makes planning for future growth challenging. The 2013 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation for this area is Medium Density Residential (MDR) and Marine/Mixed Use (M/MU). Key Concepts of NC and MU3: • Minimum lot size of 3,000 square feet • Minimum density of 3 dwelling units per lot. 1 and 2 dwelling units are allowed only if they are part of a mixed use building. • NC - Maximum density of 15 dwelling units per acre. • MU3 – Maximum density of 30 dwelling units per acre. • Building height maximums of 35’ for primary buildings and 25’ for accessory buildings • Flexible front yard setback of 0’ to 20’ for NC and 0’ to 15’ for MU3. Maximum front yard setbacks will require parking to be located in the rear. • Increased setbacks and landscaping requirements when buildings over 15’ in height about a residential zoning district. Auke Bay Overlay District The ABAP recommends the creation of a connected street-grid network, the preservation of views of Auke Bay and Statter Harbor, and building and streetscape design standards such as building heights of at least two stories, ground floor commercial with residential above, and building facades and entrances designed to attract pedestrians. CDD staff and Ad Hoc Committee members, being mindful that requiring compliance with design standards may been seen as increasing development cost, are proposing an Auke Bay Overlay District (ABOD) with voluntary design standards, site features and public amenities that can be incorporated into a development in exchange for bonus points. These bonuses can then be used to increase height and density maximums, or reduce parking minimums. Key Concepts of ABOD: • The Planning Commission shall hear all applications for ABOD bonus points. • Structures or sites already existing that contain all or some of the public amenities, design standards or site features may earn bonus points retroactively. The application process will be the same as with new development. • Bonus points can be earned by incorporating any of the following into a development: o Dedicating private land for the future development of a public right of way o Developing and maintaining public parking on private land o Mixed use, multi-story buildings that incorporate commercial and residential uses o Street facing building facades that incorporate transparency, canopies, and/or building facades with at least 20% transparency o The addition of bike racks, outdoor seating, and/or outdoor planters or landscaping o Screening parking lots, trash and recycle receptacles, and free standing utility, mechanical and electrical boxes o Preserving views of Auke Bay and Statter Harbor • Bonus points can be used in the following ways: o Parking minimums can be reduced by up to 30% o Assuming the Auke Bay Center is rezoned to NC and MU3  In NC building heights can be increased from 35’ to 45’  Packet Page 4 of 47 Michael LeVine, Planning Commission Chair AME2020-0001 & AME2015-0010 Page 2 of 2  In NC density can increase from 15 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 30 dwelling units per acre  In MU3 building heights can be increased from 35’ to 55’  In MU3 density can increase from 30 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 50 dwelling units per acre  Packet Page 5 of 47 1 2 Presented by: The Manager Introduced: 3 Drafted by: 4 5 ORDINANCE OF THE CITY AND BOROUGH OF JUNEAU, ALASKA 6 Serial No. 2020-XX 7 An Ordinance Amending the Land Use Code to Create a Mixed Use 3 (MU3) Zoning District and a Neighborhood Commercial (NC) Zoning District 8 9 BE IT ENACTED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE CITY AND BOROUGH OF JUNEAU, ALASKA: 10 Section 1.

Chapter 49.25 Zoning Districts is amended to read: 14 Chapter 49.25 – ZONING DISTRICTS 15 16 ARTICLE II. ZONING DISTRICTS 17 49.25.220 Mixed use districts. 18 (c) The MU3, mixed use 3 district, is intended to place a greater emphasis on the integration of 19 small-scale commercial uses within high-density residential structures. Flexible setback 20 regulations are deliberate to promote cohesive neighborhoods and encourage the development of 21 pedestrian-oriented buildings. 22 23 49.25.230 Commercial districts. 24 (c) The NC, neighborhood commercial district, is intended to encourage the development of a 25 vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood that is compact and walkable. Greater emphasis is placed upon medium density residential as the primary use with neighborhood-scale commercial activity that Page 1 of 34 Ord. 2020-XX  Packet Page 6 of 47 1 2 is less intensive than that permitted in the light commercial, general commercial, and mixed use 3 zoning districts. NC zoning districts are primarily used as a buffer between commercial and 4 mixed use zoning districts and single-family residential zoning districts. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 2 of 34 Ord. 2020-XX  ARTICLE III.
