CBJ Planning Commission Continues To Hear Application for Huna Totem Conditional Use Permit

Huna Totem Corporation is currently in the process of applying for a Conditional Use Permit to develop a mixed-use waterfront development including retail, community park, cultural/science center, and associated parking. The CBJ Planning Commission, at their July 11 meeting, approved (subject to conditions) a Conditional Use Permit for a floating steel dock up to 70 feet wide and 500 feet long. A second Conditional Use Permit for up to 50,000 square feet of retail and related uses, underground bus staging and vehicle parking, and a park will be evaluated by the Commission at its meeting on August 8.

The August 8 Planning Commission meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the City Hall Assembly Chambers. You can also participate remotely via Zoom. The public is encouraged to submit written comments to [email protected] or testify at the meeting.

Once the Planning Commission has issued a Notice of Decision and the required appeal period is complete, the applicants may proceed. At this time, the Assembly will have an opportunity to hold public hearings and gather further public input on the proposed development. A memorandum outlining Assembly process for consideration of a fifth cruise ship dock at the subport is available as a staff report to the Assembly at its meeting on July 31.
