The Haines Borough Planning Commission is trying to put setback limits on development in general use zones, but some assembly members are skeptical about the ramifications of such a change.
The commission is proposing any industrial development on general use land require a 50-foot setback from residential lots. The ordinance, if passed, would also require residences in general use zones to have 20-foot setbacks from street lot lines and 10-foot setbacks from other lot lines.
