The bill amends AS 29.40.030(a) to enhance the comprehensive plans of first and second class boroughs in Alaska. It specifies that these plans are to include a compilation of policy statements, goals, standards, and maps aimed at guiding the physical, social, and economic development of the boroughs. Notably, the amendment introduces a new requirement for a housing development plan to be included in the comprehensive plan, which was not previously specified.
Additionally, the bill removes the conjunction "AND" that previously connected the transportation plan to the list of required components of the comprehensive plan. It also adds a new item (6) that calls for recommendations for the implementation of the comprehensive plan, thereby expanding the scope and detail of the planning requirements for boroughs.
