Auke Bay Area Plan

Project Kick-Off

AME2013 0012

October 15 and 19, 2013

UAS Glacier View Room

Kick-Off Meeting Agenda

• ~20 minute presentation

• ~20 minute group question & answer

• ~20 minute small group/individual discussions

• Repeat each hour

Why Plan?

• Development IS occurring:

– 120 freshman beds at UAS;

– 100-200 new residential units on private property;

– Statter Harbor;

– Glacier Highway and Mendenhall Loop Road;

– Rezone request for Post Office

Why Plan?

• Facilities ARE at/near capacity:

– Wastewater treatment;

• Existing zoning provides no neighborhood cohesion or harmony:

– Many zones in a small area;

– Each zone has its own rights and rules;

– No protection to adjacent properties in different zones

Auke Bay in the Comprehensive Plan 1. Conduct an area plan or neighborhood plan for the Auke Bay area

that addresses: • Residential and non-residential uses in the vicinity of the cove,

harbor and University with the goal of creating a Marine Mixed Use, transit and pedestrian-oriented village in Auke Bay;

• Private and public use of the waters; • The University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) campus and student and

faculty housing; • Neighborhood commercial needs; • Transportation systems; • Habitat protection; • Educational facilities; • Careful urban design; and, • Viewscape protection measures…

Auke Bay in the Comprehensive Plan • 2. Protect and provide for continued water-dependent

development at the Ferry Terminal and in Auke Bay.

• Identify suitable areas for float homes, boat houses, and/or live-aboards as affordable housing options;

• Adopt design guidelines and development standards for the proposed Auke Bay neighborhood plan and Marine Mixed Use District.

• 3. Encourage high-density, transit-oriented residential and/or mixed use developments in the Auke Bay “village” area and around the University, particularly for student and faculty affordable housing.
