Borough Code Title 17 Zoning which Pertain to Accessory Dwelling Units
Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission Regular
June 18, 2024 Meeting Minutes
Motion is still on the floor from March 20,2024, "Dagen moved move to recommend
approval of Ordinance 2024-16 (amendments to various chapters and sections of the
Kodiak Island Borough Code Title 17 zoning which pertains to accessory dwelling units
as amended
The Planning & Zoning Commission has spent the past several months reviewing
potential changes to the accessory dwelling unit regulations. The draft ordinance
attached to this agenda item incorporates the following changes:
1. Removes the conditional use requirement for those ADUs that meet the development
standards.
2. The CUP remains for those ADUs that do not meet one or more of the development
standards.
3. Refines the current definition of an accessory dwelling unit.
4. Splits the parking requirement up between ADUs within the City of Kodiak and those
outside of the city.
5. Simplifies the size restriction to a maximum of 800 square feet.
6. Removes the requirement that the owner of the property must live on the property.
7. Deletes requirements that are already in place through other ordinances such as
building permit compliance.
8. The R2 zone was removed by amendment at the March 20 regular meeting
9. At the April 17 meeting, the Commission amended the ordinance to include revisions
to the development standards that detached ADUs be behind or to the side of the
principal structure and add a development standard requiring that the subject property
meet the minimum lot size of the applicable zoning district.
Voting on the ordinance was conducted on May 15, 2024, but the motion failed because
of a lack of 4 four votes in favor of the motion. The ordinance was deferred to the June
18 meeting; therefore, no additional testimony will be taken. The Commission may
make a recommendation to the Assembly if there are no additional changes to the
ordinance. Since this ordinance is under old business minor amendments may be
made, but any major amendments will require that the ordinance go back to a public
hearing.
Cross seconds motion."
Neff moved to amend the original motion to retain line 238.
