Trade of private and CBJ-owned land in Fritz Cove (CSP2018 0008)
The applicants and CBJ Lands Division request approval of a trade of CBJ uplands with a strip of private property fronting Fritz Cove. This trade would allow the applicants to acquire property with less slope and more buildable area.

CBJ Lands and Resources requests approval for a land disposal of 1.09 acres at 11031 Mendenhall Loop Road to the adjacent landowners. As part of this acquisition, the purchasers offer a 30-foot wide easement through their existing lot which, combined with a 30-foot easement through the property owned by the city, will allow for a 60-foot access and utility easement to support future development of the city and university property west of the subject lot.

The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for a community workshop and meeting place in a D18 zoning district.
