A request to rezone a large parcel of land in West Juneau (AME2018 0014)

The applicant requests a rezone of 27.88 acres of a currently vacant tract of land from D-5 Residential to D-18 Residential. The applicant states the intent is to develop the lower portion of the site with multi-family housing and the upper portion of the site with small, single family homes or stand-alone, multi-family housing on commonly owned land.  The site is accessed by Vista Drive.

An amendment to a Comprehensive Plan map to conform to a recommended rezone on Thunder Mountain Road (AME2019 0004)

On March 18, 2019, the Planning Commission recommended the Assembly approve AME2019 0002: A rezone request to change 41,985 square feet located at 8479, 8477, 8476 Thunder Mountain Road from D5 to D18. The Commission also concluded that an amendment to Comprehensive Plan Map G would be necessary in order to establish ‘substantial conformity’ with the land use designation of Medium Density Residential. This would then allow the Assembly to approve AME2019 0002.
