Lease of city parcel LND 0834 off Shawn Drive to Juneau Housing First Collaborative
The committee supported a lease of a portion of parcel LND 0834 by direct negotiation with the original proposer under CBJ 53.09.260(a) and forwarded it to the Assembly. The property is just over 7.5 acres in Lemon Creek, off Commercial Boulevard with frontage on Shawn Drive. It is zoned Rural Reserve and listed as 'retain' in the land management plan. The project is affordable housing for residents below 80% AMI, with a first phase of 24-28 one-bedroom apartments. The applicant requests a 45-60 year lease term. A rezone to Light Commercial must be completed before the Assembly can finalize the lease. The city will retain the northern portion for access to the Lemon Creek Trail and Hidden Valley.
- rezone must conclude before lease finalized
- city retains northern portion for trail and Hidden Valley access
- final terms return to Assembly as ordinance
