Title 21:  Anchorage's Plan for the Future

 Help Make Anchorage A Healthier and More Livable City!

The Planning and Zoning Committee will be taking public comments on Title 21, our most important planning document at their March 19^th meeting. This is a critical public meeting where the commission will make recommendations on how to drastically alter Title 21 from the original community draft. Issues that are being considered include 25 foot stream buffers (down from 50!), eliminating design standards for new housing, and many more preposterous proposals.

Please attend this meeting on Monday, March 19th at 6:30pm in the Anchorage Assembly Chambers (in the Loussac Library).  Together we can make the future of Anchorage brighter.

Do you like sidewalks on both sides of the street?  Do you want a community with more trees, bikes, and buses?  We do - and it's time that Anchorage moves forward on adopting the zoning code called Title 21!

For years Anchorage citizens like you have been working together to update our zoning code (Title 21), which will include these improvements and more.  The plan has been through extensive public process and represents the vision that the public has come up with for Anchorage.

But Mayor Sullivan and his hired contractor Dan Coffey have proposed considerable changes to the title 21 document. These changes were made behind the scenes, disregarding 10 years of community public process. View detailed changes to Title 21 and how they affect you and your neighborhood here.
