Current Planning Department Projects 

The current Girdwood Area Plan (GAP) was adopted in 1995 and is intended to provide broad policy guidance for land use and development.

The current Turnagain Arm Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1987. Municipal code calls for revisions of major land use plans every 20 years.

The Municipality has collected proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a seismic risk assessment for the downtown area.

The goal of the Hillside District Plan (HDP) is to establish sound public policy that reflects the vision of residents and landowners for future Hillside growth.

The Midtown District Plan is a vitally important step-down plan that will bridge the gap between the vision and goals set forth in Anchorage 2020 and the implementation elements necessary to make that vision a reality.

The Anchorage Bowl Land Use Plan Map is intended to be a guide for future city growth and development.

The Municipality initiated the planning process for a West Anchorage District Plan (WADP) in early December with the hiring of Anchorage-based URS Corporation as the project consultant.

The Economic Impact Analysis (EIA) is a technical report intended to assist with the review of the Title 21 Rewrite Public Hearing Draft.

As a major implementation element of the Comprehensive Plan, the Title 21 Land Use Code is in the process of being re-written for the first time in over 35 years.
