A Conditional Use Permit for development of Condominiums with up to 21 dwelling units at 11485 Auke Bay Harbor Road in a Waterfront Commercial Zone. (USE2022 0011)

The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for development of condominiums with up to 21 dwelling units, zoned Waterfront Commercial. The lot is between Glacier Highway on the uphill side and Statter Harbor on the downhill side. The proposed structure is approximately five (5) feet from the lot line at the North end of the lot. While the applicant owns both lots, the lots could be disposed of separately.  The applicant will need to reposition the proposed structure to be ten (10) feet from the lot line. Building setback is verified during the Building Permit process.

A Non-Administrative Variance to remove vegetation with the Jordan Creek streamside setback to address public safety issues at Teal Street in an Industrial Zone.  (VAR2022 0002)

The applicant, Juneau International Airport (JIA), is seeking a variance to the anadromous stream setback. The applicant proposes to limb trees within the 50-foot no-development setback of Jordan Creek, including the 0-25 foot no-disturbance zone, to improve lateral visibility and prevent the concealment of camping tents and structures. Trees within the project area will be limbed up to eight (8) feet. The Jordan Creek greenbelt interpretive trail system was established as mitigation associated with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetlands permitting in the late 1980’s. Since establishment, JIA has sought to modify the vegetation in a manner that complies with CBJ Land Use code and Army Corps requirements while addressing safety and security needs.
