March 24th Public Hearing Canceled

 The CBJ Assembly passed Resolution 2883, cancelling non-essential public meetings and limiting agenda items for essential meetings. The public hearing on the proposed Auke Bay rezone that was scheduled for March 24th  is considered non-essential and is being postponed until further notice. The Resolution states:

“The committees, boards, and commissions of the City and Borough of Juneau shall only hold meetings for essential agenda items. Nonessential agenda items must be delayed. Essential items can include time sensitive permit decisions, legislation, appropriation matters, continuity of operation matters, and public health matters. The chair of a committee, board, or commission has discretion to determine if a potential agenda item is essential or nonessential. Non-essential public meetings must be canceled. Public meetings with essential items in which public comment is required should allow for public comment by telephone. Meeting agendas should be evaluated one month at a time.”

Thank you to those who are already submitted written comments. If haven’t submitted comments yet but would like to do so, please email them to me. We are still taking comments. When meetings resume the comments will be complied and forwarded on to the Planning Commission for consideration. We value your individual contributions that have been made throughout this process and we wish you all the best as we work together to keep all Juneau residents safe. CBJ staff will advise you when our public processes can to return to “business as usual”. In the meantime, please stay home and stay safe. Up-to-date information on CBJ’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic can be found HERE. If you have any questions please feel free to call or email me.
