COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date: November 27, 2006
Through: Kirsten Vesel, Assistant City Manager
From: Christy Terry, Executive Liaison
Boards and Commissions
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA,
Agenda Item:
ASSIGNING THE PORT AND COMMERCE ADVISORY BOARD
(PACAB) TO REVIEW AND UPDATE THE SEWARD MARINE
INDUSTRIAL CENTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN
BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION:
The Seward Marine Industrial Center Development Plan was adopted by Council in 1995. The
Development Plan was prepared by the Port and Commerce Advisory Board, the Seward Harbor
Master, and the Community Development Department. This Development Plan has never been
reviewed or updated since its original adoption. The 2020 Seward Comprehensive Plan
recommends an update for the Seward Marine Industrial Center Development Plan:
?
“Update the Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC) Plan,” Volume 1, page 15, Land
Development, 2020 Seward Comprehensive Plan
?
“Revisit the 1995 SMIC Development Plan to include new market trends and modern
technologies for ship repair and construction, shipping of natural resource products,
boat storage, and other compatible industries, soliciting support from Alaska Industrial
Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) and the US Economic Development
Administration (EDA).” Volume 1, page 24, Section 3.5.1.2, 2020 Seward
Comprehensive Plan
The goals set forth by the 2020 Comprehensive Plan should be followed and pursued. The
Alaska Statutes defines the Comprehensive Plan as a compilation of policy statements, goals,
standards, and maps for guiding, both private and public, physical, social, and economic
development. The 2020 Seward Comprehensive Plan was prepared for the City of Seward over
the period of 2000-2005. Development of the Plan was based on continued involvement with the
City of Seward as well as research and review of the existing documents by the consultants. The
elements of the 2020 Plan incorporate information gathered during public meetings, Planning
and Zoning Commission meetings, information from numerous background documents and
Administration. The 2020 Plan reflects the concerns of the public, the Seward Planning
Commission, Administration and the Seward City Council for orderly development, with public
safety, health and welfare as the prevailing goal.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter,
Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
FISCAL NOTE: None.
