Additional Property Attributes

The project area contains some of the most significant residential land in the midtown area, Anchorage�s largest employment center. When considering that the Spenard area to the north of Benson Boulevard (outside of the study area) is emerging as an entertainment destination with theaters, restaurants, shops, and farmer�s market, the area to the south is primed to be redeveloped over the next 5 to 20 years. In particular, Cook Inlet Housing Authority�s plans to provide mixed-use and residential development in the Spenard midtown area will help address the city�s housing shortage, and also serve as a catalyst for other private investment. However, the feasibility of individual projects will depend on the extent of environmental remediation, infrastructure improvements, and/or other needs

Former Use: The property area is located in the east � of Section 25 and the northwest � of Section 30, Township 13 North, Range 4 West, Seward Meridian, Alaska, as referenced by the United States Geological Society (USGS) Anchorage A-8 NW quadrangle. The project area is currently a zoned for a mix of commercial, single- and multi-family residential and public lands (parks). Parcels along the major internal thoroughfares (Spenard Road and 36th Avenue) are characterized by older commercial properties. Parcels outside the main arterial roads are generally characterized by residential use and small commercial developments. Nine trailer courts are located throughout the project area. Parks are interspersed in the residential areas. Limited redevelopment has occurred in Spenard over the past 30 years. Some re-use of existing commercial and office space has increased recently, but no new construction has taken place.The existing pattern of mostly small lots which were built prior to the current zoning codes mean that businesses whishing to expand will no longer comply with municipal ordinances for landscaping, access, or parking requirements. Thus new construction will likely involve lot aggregation, demolition, and significant new site and utility improvements, and potential environmental remediation.
