The Haines Borough Assembly on March 8 advanced an ordinance that would make heliports a conditional use in the general use planning and zoning district.
The district encompasses the bulk of lands in the borough, minus the townsite and Lutak and Mud Bay land use service areas.
Currently, heliports in that area are a use by right, and the ordinance would require a Haines Borough Planning Commission public hearing before a new heliport is approved.
