Anchorage 2040 Land Use Plan   
Adopted September 26, 2017

The Anchorage 2040 Land Use Plan is a targeted update to the Anchorage 2020—Anchorage Bowl Comprehensive Plan.  The Anchorage 2040 Land Use Plan (2040 LUP) updates population and economic forecasts for city growth and land needs through the year 2040 and includes a Land Use Plan Map. 

The Land Use Plan Map is a visual guide for future land uses and patterns of development across the Anchorage Bowl.  This map provides the blueprint for how Anchorage will accommodate economic growth and meet the forecast housing needs of our city’s residents.  The 2040 LUP accompanies the map with updated goals, policies, and strategies for how to achieve that growth while meeting today’s challenges. 

The 2040 LUP document and Land Use Plan Map are available below.  Printed hardcopies of the plan can be purchased for $22 at the Planning Department.  Interactive zoom-in versions of the Land Use Plan Map and other maps in the 2040 LUP are forthcoming soon.
