Anchorage Assembly approves rezone of old National Archives lot in Midtown, paving way for housing developmentThe city will consider rezoning a parcel of land between Cuddy Park and Denali Street in Midtown. In recent years, the land has been occupied by homeless encampments. Photographed April 1.
The large lot at 40th Avenue and Denali Street sits adjacent to key public facilities in Midtown — the Loussac Library and Cuddy Family Midtown Park — and has long been seen as a possible site for housing and mixed-use development. Before approving the measure, Assembly members added a stipulation to the lot’s development: It must include an easement for Fish Creek, in order to restore and, which is currently diverted into underground drainage pipes through much of Midtown. The ponds at nearby Cuddy Park are part of the creek’s historical course.
The easement provides for “greenway supportive development,” she said. That means a development that allows for the natural flow of the creek and the integration of natural features into development, Brawley said.The federal National Archives and Records Administration had previously purchased the land from two Anchorage developers for a project to construct a National Archives building that.
