Last year the Valdez city council updated the official zoning maps to reflect zoning changes that have occurred over the past 25 years. Staff believes that Lot 3D and Lot 3F, U.S.S. 3563 were incorrectly designated as Light Industrial zoning on the adopted zoning map. The 1996 Official Zoning Map shows these lots along with Lot 3E designated as Commercial Residential. Ordinance 2016-04 changed the zoning of Lot 3E from Commercial Residential to Light Industrial. It appears that the correct zoning on the adopted map should have been Commercial Residential for Lot 3D and Lot 3F.
On January 26, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission requested that Planning Department staff schedule a public hearing for the purpose of changing the zoning designation of this property to correct the error.
On July 13, 2022, following a public hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval to the City Council of the proposed rezone.
Please see the attached findings adopted by the Planning and Zoning Commission with more information about the proposed rezone and the requirements of the city code.
