Borough Assembly - November 17, 1966 Mr. Earr's suggestions that the area above Tagura Road should remain Industrial rather than become Business was pointed out. The Commission felt that Industrial zoning should be re- defined in such a way in the ordinance as to also permit water oriented businesses. The area above Tagura now zoned industrial would then be able to accommodate industry, but would not preclude water oriented businesses locating there. B. ordinance Committee - November 15, 1966 There was some discussion on the recommendation for inclusion of clinics and professional offices in R -3 areas. It was pointed out that even in R -1 areas, Anchorage permits schools, churches, and home occupations. V CORRESPONDENCE - PEOPLE TO BE hEARD A. Dr. McKinley re Dental Office - East Elk 35 Lots 8 and (Case 166-A) Dr. McKinley was not present. Mr. hansen reported that there is a possibility that the occupancy of the present Aleutian Home may be extended. He further stated that an exception could not be granted to Dr. MciUnley for a dental office in East Addn, which is now zoned R-2, per a previous legal opinion. The problem could be solved by flloing through on one of the recommendations of the Ordinance Committee--to amend the mooning ordinance to allow churches and home occupations in all residential zones. The dental office would fit the ordinance definition of a home occupation since Dr. McKinley would also live there. After further discussion, Mr. Faller moved that it be recommended to the Assembly to amend the zoning ordinance immediately to include the following in all residential zones, per the Ordinance Committee minutes of October 18: a) Truck gardening, the raising of bush and tree crops, flower gardening, and the use of green houses; b) home occupations; c) Accessory buildings and uses not used or operated for gain and not including guest houses or accessory living quarters; d churches, provided that no part of any building be located nearer than 30 feet to any adjoining lot or street line; e) required off- street parking.

As the ordinance stands now, these items are petted only as exceptions in Unclassified zones.
