RECOMMENDATION:
Review Waterfront Master Plan
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
As part of the City of Valdez Comprehensive Plan titled “Plan Valdez”, the Ports & Harbors Commission is tasked with an annual review of the Comprehensive Waterfront Master Plan.
The original plan was adopted in 2019 and is considered a 5-30-year vision with review and update every 5 years.
Staff would be willing to schedule a more comprehensive review with the commission during a dedicated work session if the commission would like to do a page by page review together. Other options would be a working committee with 3 or less commissioners, one on one meetings with staff, and on your own review.
We will reach the 5 year review bench mark next year, and we will want to update the plan, reprioritize, and cross off some of the projects that we have accomplished.
Waterfront Master and Comprehensive plans are attached, commissioners and citizens who currently do not have a hardcopy of the Waterfront Master Plan and would like one please contact the Ports and Harbors Director. Plans are available in the Port office and are electronically available on the City of Valdez Web site.
