The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Planning Commission agreed by consensus Monday to schedule a formal informational session and a draft resolution on a proposal to annex Chugiak–Eagle River from Anchorage into Mat-Su, with Planning Director Alex Strawn noting an August assembly deadline if the question is to reach voters.

The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Planning Commission passed Resolution 26-09 on Monday, recommending a rewrite of multifamily development standards to create tiered permitting, tighten drainage and fire access rules, and resolve a longstanding problem with how condo plats are treated under borough code.
