MEMO:
TO: Planning & Zoning Commission
KFROM: Rick Koch, City Manager
DATE: January 13, 2016
SUBJECT: Update to the Kenai Comprehensive Plan
The purpose of this correspondence is to notify the members of the Planning & Zoning
Commission (P & Z) that the Administration will begin work on an update to the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
As you probably know, in 2013, an update to the Comprehensive Plan was transmitted
by P &Z to the City Council, following several dozen work sessions, and public hearings.
Several public hearings were held by the City Council, many amendments to the Plan
as transmitted were considered and incorporated into the Plan. The Plan was passed by
the City Council.
A ballot initiative was put forth and the Plan was repealed by the voters.
At the January 6, 2016 City Council meeting the Council, in response to my statement
that it was Administration's intent to begin working on an update to the Comprehensive
Plan, and that the Comprehensive Plan which was approved by the Kenai City Council,
and later repealed by the voters, would be the draft document used to begin the
process. Authorization was received from Council in the form of a motion.
The reasons for utilizing, as a draft, the document which was prepared in 2013 are as
follows:
1. There are six chapters in the 2013 Comprehensive Plan. The first four
chapters of the Plan are informational in nature, either explaining the purpose
of the Plan, or providing historical, cultural, and statistical data. These
chapters generally require updates to reflect any technical changes. The form
and function of these chapters was efficient, accurate, and to the best of my
knowledge, were generally not criticized by the public. Cost savings.
Chapter Five is the Land Use Plan. This chapter was the crux of the ballot
initiative and will require significant public input and re -draft.
3. The format of Chapter Six, Goals, Objectives, Strategies, and Plan
Implementation, works well in establishing priorities for implementation of
elements of the Plan. New implementation elements, and implementation
strategies will need to be established. Utilization of this format will provide
efficiencies and minimize costs.
4. The public is familiar with the format and can easily reacquaint themselves
with the Plan components where there was little disagreement, and well as
those Plan components which were the catalyst for the ballot initiative.
Matt Kelley, Chairperson Twait, and I will be developing a proposed work plan that we
will discuss with you in the near future. I will also have discussions with consultants
which may provide assistance to the Administration and P &Z through the process of
developing the update to the Comprehensive Plan.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
