Land-Use Framework Vision Fairbanks Downtown Plan | Land Use Framework | Adopted August 21, 2008 37
Overview With few exceptions over time, changes within downtown Fairbanks are inevitable. The land-use framework directs change and creates a unified and coherent whole that is consistent with the community’s vision for anticipated future growth. The framework will inform updates to the comprehensive plan and land-use codes to be made by the North Star Borough planning staff and planning commission. Realistic and Achievable The land-use framework outlines development patterns that attract new uses and maintain and strengthen existing desirable uses. The framework responds to the following essential requirements: Development sites meet proven fundamental real estate needs for housing, employment, retail and parking Development considers opportunities for incorporating sustainable design and construction practices for cold weather climates Development builds upon and preserves downtown Fairbanks’ greatest assets: its historic buildings, network of streets and the Chena River Long-Range Plan In some situations, new uses are identified for parcels that are already occupied by a viable use. In these special cases: Existing uses are “grandfathered” – Businesses and uses of a site may remain and operate for as long as they wish; if the property changes hands, the new owner may continue the existing use New parks and open spaces must be acquired – Existing parcels designated as new open space must be purchased by a public entity or developer, or transferred to public use by easement, dedication or other means Historic Cushman Street Vision Fairbanks Downtown Plan | Land Use Framework | Adopted August 21, 2008 38 Overview
