A property acquisition and disposal review of land by the City & Borough of Juneau (PAD2022 0002)

The application is seeking to sell 105,347 square feet of land to the CBJ and purchase 140,394 square feet of land from the CBJ. This land swap is being proposed as a means of creating additional buildable lots within the CBJ, in conformity with the 2013 CBJ Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the land being conveyed to CBJ would be included in the existing designated stream buffer to extend protection of Grant Creek, an anadromous waterbody. This effort is also in conformity with the 2013 Comprehensive Plan.

A Conditional Use Permit modification for Juneau Youth Services (USE2022 0010)

Juneau Youth Services (JYS) is proposing to convert seven dorm rooms in the currently vacant Montana Creek House into office spaces for JYS staff. This will allow JYS to move staff and programs from their secondary location on Jordan Avenue to the JYS residential treatment campus. This consolidation will allow JYS to provide on-site support services directly related to the existing residential treatment uses, as well as complementary programs run by JYS.

Learn More About Blueprint Downtown at Foodland Pop-Up Event on Saturday

Curious about downtown Juneau’s future look? Learn more about Blueprint Downtown, the long-term area plan for downtown Juneau, at a pop-up event this Saturday, August 13, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Foodland (615 W. Willoughby Avenue). Copies of the public review draft of the plan will be available to view and Blueprint Downtown project manager Beth McKibben will be on hand to answer questions. This is a great opportunity to learn about the draft plan, the public review process, and how you may comment.

The project’s general focus is on the area from the Rock Dump to Norway Point (Juneau Yacht Club). The mission of Blueprint Downtown is to create a long-term area plan that reflects current public desires and incorporates past work from relevant existing community plans. The plan was developed through a public process that involved several community meetings and a 13-person Steering Committee appointed by the Planning Commission. The Steering Committee has drawn from business, personal, environmental and cultural perspectives to guide and shape the plan.
