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!
Applicant: Chilkat Vistas LLC
Location: 1925 Davis Ave
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
This rezone request would facilitate the addition of eleven (11) units to this lot. The neighboring Alaska Department of Corrections is concerned that increased density would result in development closer to the common lot line, for which mitigation would be challenging due to terrain. While rezone conditions are limited to health and safety, the development will require a new or updated Conditional Use Permit. The lot had been rezoned D15 but was downzoned due to intersection concerns at Davis Avenue and Glacier Highway. Since then, the intersection has been signalized.

Applicant: City & Borough of Juneau
Location: North Douglas Highway
DIRECTOR'S REPORT

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Applicant: City & Borough of Juneau
Location: 11860 Glacier Highway
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
This proposed rezone is uphill from the Auke Bay community core. Staff recommends reducing the applicant’s scope to eliminate incompatible Comprehensive Plan land use designations, resulting in a total of approximately 29.5 acres for rezone. Mapped wetlands cover most of the proposed rezone, which will increase development costs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission reduce the scope of the rezone and forward a recommendation of APPROVAL to the Assembly.
