Bill > SB50

This bill modifies the existing law regarding municipal comprehensive plans for first and second class boroughs by adding a required housing development plan as a mandatory component of the comprehensive plan. Currently, comprehensive plans are policy documents that guide the physical, social, and economic development of a borough, including elements like land use, community facilities, and transportation plans. The bill expands the required contents of these plans to explicitly include a housing development plan, which would likely outline strategies for addressing housing needs, potential housing developments, and approaches to ensuring adequate housing for residents. By mandating this addition, the bill aims to ensure that boroughs proactively consider housing development as a critical aspect of their overall municipal planning, potentially helping to address housing availability, affordability, or other housing-related challenges in these Alaskan municipalities.
