Meeting Slides from April 10th & April 17 Ad-Hoc Meeting

Conceptual subdivision and access to CBJ property, see page 6-7 of meeting slides.

For last weeks meeting slides please view the documents page or directly download the Meeting Slides (PDF). This meeting covered access, traffic and parking in Auke Bay. Areas of concern voiced by those in attendance had largely to do with the Auke Bay Subdivision Conceptual access road layout (page 6-7) of document above (and shown on this page). Concerns voiced had to due with size, location of collector roads and impacts this would have on Glacier Highway.

The Auke Bay Ad Hoc Committee will meet at UAS Rec Center (Rm 106) at 6pm on Wednesday, April 17, 2019. The Committee will discuss what we have heard from you and your neighbors regarding the proposed density and height regulations. Just a reminder, that these committee meetings are work sessions so no public comment will be taken during the meeting.

If you would like to provide written comment, please email Allison Eddins @ Allison.Eddins@juneau.org

Auke Bay Neighborhood Meeting Follow-Up

 Below is an email received from Allison Eddins of Juneau Community Development. As a note, when these meetings with the Auke Bay Neighborhood Association are set they will be announced here. Notes from the December 6th meeting are available on the Documents and Resources page under the Auke Bay Policy section.

I just heard from an Auke Bay resident who attended the neighborhood meeting that she did not receive the email that I sent out on December 12th. I apologize to those of you who did not receive it. The email mentions the Auke Bay Sub-Committee meeting that is happening tomorrow. I’m sorry to those of you just getting this email today. But do not fret! Tomorrow’s meeting will a short one where I will  re-cap the neighborhood meeting for the Sub-Committee. I will also be recommending to the Sub-Committee that before any more work is done, I need to meet with the Auke Bay Neighborhood Association. This will give me the opportunity to have in-depth conversations with you and your neighbors. My plan is to start having these more intimate discussions in January 2019. In the meantime, please submit any comments that you have to me. All comments will be reviewed and discussed at a future Auke Bay Sub-Committee meeting. Also, feel free to call me or email me if you have any questions. Below is the original email.

You are receiving this email because you attended the December 6th Auke Bay neighborhood meeting. Thank you! There were over 70 attendees. The meeting notes and the presentation are attached. If you would like to submit comments, please do so. It is beneficial if your comment explains why you think a certain way; whether you are in favor of the proposed zoning changes, against the proposed changes, neutral or feel that you need more information to make a decision. If we don’t know the “why”, we cannot address the concern. 

The next Auke Bay Planning Commission Sub-Committee meeting will be December 20th at 12pm in the 4th floor conference room in the Marine View Building downtown (230 S. Franklin). The Sub-Committee meetings are public meetings and you are welcome to attend. These are working sessions so public comment is not taken during the meeting. However, all written comments that are sent to me on or before December 17th will be sent to the Sub-Committee members prior to the meeting and may be discussed at the meeting. 

At the beginning of the meeting last week, I mentioned that it would be a success if you felt like you were well informed and that your input matters. I hope that both are true, and I look forward to continuing to work with the Auke Bay community on this effort.

Meeting on Dec. 6th for feedback on proposed zoning districts in Auke Bay

CBJ is crafting potential new zoning for Auke Bay in an effort to implement the vision and goals of the Auke Bay Area Plan. Contribute your thoughts and feedback on the proposed zoning on December 6.

Interested members of the public are invited to attend a meeting on December 6, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, at the UAS Recreation Center to learn about the proposed zoning districts, ask questions, and provide feedback. (see resources below).

The Planning Commission’s Auke Bay Implementation Committee is in the midst of drafting an ordinance to create new mixed use zoning in Auke Bay. These new concepts are intended to encourage the development of lively, mixed-use neighborhoods that are compact and walkable, and offer incentives and design standards to encourage developers to implement the vision of the Auke Bay Area Plan, adopted in 2015. The Plan was developed with input from many stakeholders in the Auke Bay area.

The proposed zoning strives to blend medium to high density residential with a mixture of retail, commercial, institutional, and entertainment uses that are physically and functionally integrated. The zoning creates cohesive neighborhoods and pedestrian-oriented buildings and infrastructure that encourage a small town center feel where people can live, work, visit, and play.
