Assembly Provides Direction to Planning Staff

On June 20, 2022, the Borough Assembly provided direction to Planning staff regarding the Clam Cove Neighborhood Plan. After a long work session, the Assembly directed staff to include some commercial mix use zoning in the future land use map for the Clam Cove Hamlet Neighborhood Plan. The Assembly heard testimony from the Residents Association and representatives of the three land trustees, regarding the positions on commercial uses in the Clam Cove neighborhood. The Assembly determined a 500 foot swath of land along the southwestern side of the Gravina Island Highway could be appropriate for future commercial uses, holding that the cove side of the highway would remain residential in nature, see map.
