Land-Use Framework<br />

The land-use framework for downtown <strong>Fairbanks</strong><br />

establishes districts and corridors of unique yet<br />

complementary uses that respond to the current<br />

and future marketplace and developer needs. The<br />

framework will inform the updates to the <strong>Fairbanks</strong><br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Borough</strong> comprehensive plan and land-use<br />

codes to be developed by borough planning staff and<br />

planning commission.<br />

A Unified and Diverse <strong>Downtown</strong><br />

While the land-use diagram indicates primary uses,<br />

in many cases a mix of uses, both vertically and<br />

horizontally, is recommended.<br />

All development should be transit- and pedestrianoriented<br />

and employ sustainable practices for<br />

construction and habitation.<br />
