We would like to acknowledge that the City and Borough of Juneau is on Tlingit land, and wish to honor the indigenous people of this land. For more than ten thousand years, Alaska Native people have been and continue to be integral to the well-being of our community. We are grateful to be in this place, a part of this community, and to honor the culture, traditions, and resilience of the Tlingit people. Gunalchéesh!

DIRECTOR'S REPORT

The proposed language would amend sections of Chapter 35 Public and Private Improvements. These revisions include eliminating the requirement that lots located on an arterial must meet the D1 lot size standard (36,000 sq. ft.) regardless of the underlying zoning district to subdivide; provide the governing right-of-way agency the authority to approve additional access, if deemed safe; increase the number of lots that may use Private Shared Access to subdivide from four (4) to 13 lots; and setting a maximum acreage that may use Private Shared Access to subdivide. These revisions facilitate subdivision and support the development of housing in Juneau. -CONTINUED
