The Anchorage Assembly failed to pass a substitute version of an ordinance on Tuesday that would have given legislative power to establish and implement title 21 policy changes in coordination with zoning commission review.
The Assembly on Tuesday postponed what’s called the HOME Initiative, which supporters say would simplify zoning districtsANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Anchorage Assembly was unable to pass an ordinance on Tuesday night that would give the Assembly the power to establish and implement Title 21 policy changes in coordination with Zoning Commission review.
“Really, what this ordinance does is very narrow,” Brawley said. “It doesn’t make changes to the zoning code per say but it makes a change to Title 21.” She maintains zoning codes are decades old and needs to change to allow more housing in the city. However, a majority of people who testified Tuesday night spoke against the ordinance, and many wanted it tabled, due to them not wanting changes to the current code.
