2026 Commercial Land Use Plan follow-up for 2027 |
Introduction and Purpose
Thank you for taking this survey from the City & Borough of Sitka's (CBS) Parks and Recreation Office. This survey allows users of CBS-owned and managed recreational areas and facilities to provide their input, priorities, and preferences regarding permitted commercial uses—such as guided hikes, bike tours, and kayak rentals—through the CBS commercial recreational land use permit process.
Areas, trails, and roads outlined in this survey are often under the jurisdiction of multiple organizations (CBS, State of Alaska, BIHA, USFS, etc.). The questions in this survey focus only on locations where the CBS requires a permit for commercial recreation operations.
These results, coupled with input received during recent 2026 public workshops, will be presented to the Parks & Recreation Committee and the Assembly to guide how CBS updates and issues these permits for the 2027 season and beyond.
Survey includes sections regarding Cross Trail, local roads and trails, water access points and special use areas. There is a section addressing new areas of inclusion for the 2027 Land Use Plan, including the Sea Walk, Downtown Sidewalks, Whale Park and Takatz Bay. Total survey should take 12-18 minutes to complete.
