Site Specific Plans
Index

Site Specific Plans are land use plans developed under AS 38.04.065 that establish goals, policies, management intent, and guidelines for the use of state land in areas that are outside of the boundaries of existing area plans. Site Specific Plans are used in areas that generally have a small amount of state-owned land, have historically seen little to no use, or under certain contexts, may be associated with authorizations or disposals.

Site Specific Plans are planning documents prepared in the absence of a regional plan, that states the management intent for resources in the planning area, addresses impacts on adjacent land uses; and contains the following: a summary of existing land uses and ownership patterns, a discussion of resource potential and land uses on state lands and water, land classifications that set out primary use, consideration of mineral potential, existing or potential conflicts. The plans provide management guidelines and stated management intent representing department polices that guide the actions of the DNR when making land use decisions, directing land management and ensuring compatibility among competing land uses (11 AAC 55.030(e)).
