General Use Rezone Survey

The Haines Borough Planning Commission is leading a rezoning effort specifically for the areas of the Mosquito Lake Community, Chilkat Lake Road, 24 to 28 mile Haines Highway and the Covenant Life area.

Over time, land use patterns in several General Use (GU) designated areas have evolved significantly, creating a growing mismatch between existing zoning codes and actual on-the-ground development. The Borough acknowledges that these lands, especially our public lands, represent a shared common value for the entire Haines community.

Because of this, we want to hear from you. We invite all Haines residents, whether you own property in these specific areas or simply care about the future growth of our Borough, to participate in this brief survey. Your input will directly shape the future of our local zoning and land management decisions. Thank you for your time!

Note that answers will be anonymous. Your parcel ID will not be associated with your answers to the survey.

Parcel ID/Property ID (eg: 3-WAS-00-9900) | Note: only fill if you are the property owner of a property in one of the following neighborhoods: Mosquito Lake Community, Chilkat Lake Road and Covenant Life area, 24-28 Mile Haines Highway

1. What is your position regarding the proposed rezoning of your neighborhood? (Please Select one)

I support maintaining the current General Use (GU) zoning designation

I support rezoning the area to Rural Mixed Use (RMU)

I support a Modified Rural Mixed Use designation tailored to our specific community needs (e.g., establishing a Special Overlay District)

2. For each land use type below, please check whether you believe it should be Allowed, Prohibited, or allowed only with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in your neighborhood. (Note: Standard residential uses, common small-scale businesses, and traditional cottage industries are assumed to be permitted under the proposed framework given the relatively low impact. The list below isolates specific land uses that have historically raised community concerns or require careful compatibility reviews. When looking at the uses and imagining their compatibility, don’t assume it is situated right in your backyard. Instead, assume it is located 2 miles away. )
