After discussing this item and making sure that the verbiage is the way the Commission wants it, we will put it on the agenda for the month of July for public hearing. Kodiak Island Borough May 17, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes CDD staff is seeking clarification of this code and asking the Commission to amend code so that it is consistent. Staff believes that in A, "an effective way to add affordable housing to existing neighborhoods." Zoning Compliance would allow an ADU to be rented out, long term or short term, but the code continues to state that the ADU is NOT intended to allow a two family residence in any Single Family residential zoning district. Additionally, in 17.160.020 code clearly defines when a an accessory building is considered attached, however no such definition for a Accessory dwelling unit is in code. Staff seeks for the Commission to simplify or alter or add verbiage to code for better understanding for the public. All changes were made with Clerk approval on how the ordinance would look if going to the Assembly, therefore the " 1 " on line 42 and the "a" on line 64 must stay Ordinance FY2023-19 Amending Kodiak Island Borough Code section 17.175.050, off street parking -location. DISCUSSION ITEM ONLY After discussing this item and making sure that the verbiage is the way the Commission wants it, we will put it on the agenda for the month of July for public hearing. CDD staff would like to amend KIBC 17.175.050 for properties using this code for parking, to be mandated to record an encumbrance (i.e. lease or easement) while the contiguous property is being used. This encumbrance would need to be recorded and insures both a buyer and seller that parking compliance for a specific lot is on said lot and will remain on the lot until the encumbrance is removed and parking violations do not exist. Staff believes that this could be an effective way to allow parking while someone is either actively seeking Zoning Compliance for parking OR intends on using the parking on another lot long term. This would allow time for someone to either subdivide (abbreviated or through the Commission) or record an easement to the contagious lot so that compliance to code for all lots is assured. Currently if we allow for this code to be open ended, if the contagious lot is sold, then you would end up with a lot that is not compliant and no where for people to park. This could be a bad situation for residential improvements. If the P&Z Commission does not like the verbiage in this ordinance, Community Development staff would ask for suggestions to take back to the attorney so this could be amended.
