MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Porter and Council Members
FROM: Council Member Henry Knackstedt
DATE: March 30, 2016
SUBJECT: Rezone Ordinance No. 2885 -2016
At the May 6, 2015 Council Meeting, the City Council took action "directing the Airport
Commission, Planning and Zoning Commission and Administration to provide recommendations
regarding appropriate zoning for Airport lands." In support of the Discussion/Action Item, I
included a memo explaining that when the City initiated its zoning, all airport properties were
designated as "Conservation," meaning the properties were to be `conserved' for the benefit of
the Airport in accordance with the 1963 deed of conveyance from the FAA to City. I recommended
that consideration should be given to creating a new zone within the Airport Reserve that was more
appropriate and consistent for the area given the potential misunderstanding of what was intended
by the title of the current zone.
At the May 14, 2015 and February 11, 2016 Airport Commission Meetings, the rezone was
discussed. On June 24, 2015 and January 13, 2016 the rezone was discussed by the Planning and
Zoning Commission. The bodies held three joint work sessions on June 23, 2015 and November
12, 2015 and January 13, 2016. The result of these seven public meetings was a recommendation
by both bodies to rezone the subject 51 Airport parcels to Airport Light Industrial. Notice of the
rezone was published and sent to all land owners within 300 feet of the effected parcels. The
Airport Light Industrial Zone seeks to protect the viability of the Airport, encourage appropriate
development and compatible land uses in consideration of protecting the Runway Protection Zones
and helping to reduce hazards to public health, safety and welfare.
The Airport Master Plan Phase 2 Report discusses the need to rezone airport lands currently
classified as "Conservation" in Sections 5.10 -Land Use and Zoning, and 7.4- Compatible Land
Uses. Applicable excerpts from these sections respectively include:
5.10. The 1963 Quitclaim Deed for the Airport states that "the land, buildings,
structures, improvements ..... shall be used for public airport purposes for the use
and benefit of the public." Airport lands are identified on the Airport Master Plan
and Airport Layout Plan (ALP). Title 21 of the Kenai Municipal Code provides
guidance for lease, sale and use of airport-owned properties to ensure there is an
adequate supply of land to support operation of the Airport and to reduce
incompatible uses in the airport proper. The conservation zoning of much of the
Mayor Porter and City Councilors
March 30, 2016
Page 2 of 3
Airport lands, especially within the Airport Reserve 5 -31 Boundary, does not
support this requirement and is not consistent with airport uses. In addition, a
portion of the Airport, on the northwest side, is zoned as rural residential and on
the southwest side a portion of the Airport is zoned as suburban residential. The
City should consider rezoning these lands to an industrial zone (Light Industrial
and General Commercial) within the Airport Reserve Boundary and, as appropriate,
elsewhere to provide for development to highest and best uses for the Airport,
including support for airport- related uses, for revenue - generating leases, for other
private development or for public improvements.
7.4. Most of the land within the Airport Reserve Boundary is currently zoned as
"Conservation," as shown earlier on Figure 3 -8, a district that is usually applied to
publicly -owned lands which should be preserved primarily as open areas and as
watersheds and wildlife reserves. The Airport and related uses have been included
in this zone to allow for the reservation of aircraft approach zones. The
Conservation designation is not compatible with airport use and aircraft operations
and future airport development. The zoning ordinance generally permits structures,
including freestanding communications towers, to be up to thirty -five feet (351).
Heights exceeding thirty -five feet (35') typicall} require a variance. Other parts of
the Airport, within the Airport Reserve Boundary, are currently zoned Light
Industrial (IL), Suburban Residential (RS), Rural Residential (RR) and Central
Mixed (CMU). The need to change the Airport zoning will be addressed in later
phases of the Airport Master Plan. The Comprehensive Plan shows the entire airport
property as firture industrial land use and zoning. The Comprehensive Plan
recommends rezoning airport lands within the Airport Reserve Boundary to zoning
consistent with the Airport Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan and rezoning lands
outside the Airport Reserve Boundary to meet the mandate of the 1963 Airport deed
The 2003 City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan also recognizes the need for rezoning airport
conservation lands, stating on Page 39:
Part of the unused airport property designated for airport use is zoned conservation.
This zoning status may unnecessarily complicate development of new airport-
related uses on airport land. Bringing the zoning into agreement with expected use
would remove an administrative obstacle to acceptable development on airport
property.
The Plan goes on to recommend rezoning parts of the Airport to conform to expected uses and
development (Pg. 40 and 46).
While I recognize some may desire to wait until an updated Comprehensive Plan is adopted, my
position is that it is appropriate to move forward with the rezone at this time, given the time and
effort put into the process to date, that it is consistent with recommendations /findings of the current
Comprehensive Plan and Airport Master Plan, and there are no guarantees the City will have an
updated Comprehensive Plan any time soon.
Mayor Porter and City Councilors
March 30, 2016

There has also been concern over whether appropriate buffers are accounted for. Again, my
position is the Airport rezone will not result in unreasonable interference with adjacent property.
The need for buffers between incompatible uses in discussed in the 2003 Comprehensive Plan, and
the Airport Master Plan also provides specific guidance with regard to buffers. Around the Airport,
there are many existing natural buffers, and KMC 14.25.040 Landscaping Plan- Performance
Criteria, provides for buffer landscaping to separate and minimize the impact between adjacent
uses. Also many of the existing Airport properties already involve light industrial uses and would
see little to no actual change. I&
Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: letter for March 9 meeting
To the Planning and Zoning Commissioners:
I cannot attend the meeting tonight, March 9, and so am writing in order to strongly object to PZ16 -07,
rezoning many Conservation parcels to Airport Industrial, and to PX16 -08, rezoning Lawton Acres.
These two rezones blatantly disregard what Kenai voters told the city when they rejected the 2013
comprehensive plan a few years ago. I am sure that all of you are aware that during the public meetings held
prior to the 2013 plan, people said over and over that they want a city with a center, not haphazard
development all the way to Soldotna. Why does the city want to get rid of buffer zones and trees? Are we
trying to look like K -Beach road or Wasilla? Why does the city disregard what its residents want for their
neighborhoods and for their city? These two rezones would allow the worst kind of unattractive,
indiscriminate development.
The "flower field" on Lawton is a nice thing, and there has been a lot of money and effort put into
maintaining it. And now that's all to be thrown away. It's impossible to understand the 'planning' going on
here.
Please do not approve these rezones.
Sincerely, Laura Sievert 3329 Beaver Loop, Kenai

Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission
Re: Resolution PZ16 -07, Rezoning 48 Parcels
Resolution PZ16 -08, Rezoning Lawton Acres
Dear Commissioners:
This letter is to oppose proposed PZ16 -07, rezoning 48 parcels, and PZ16 -08, rezoning
Lawton Acres and land across the street, for the following reasons. I request that you table these
resolutions until after a new comprehensive plan is approved by the Kenai City Council,
1. Failed 2013 Comprehensive Plan. Rezoning airport lands, and redesignating
Lawton Acres as commercial, were controversial parts of the 2013 Comprehensive Plan. That
plan failed by a wide margin before Kenai voters in October 2013. Therefore, the City should
not be pushing these rezones forward, without getting some public support (not just airport
commissioners or City officials).
2. Reduced Quality of Life for Neighborhoods Adjacent to the Airport. The
lands proposed to be rezoned have been zoned conservation since the 1960s, Afterwards,
hundreds of homes were built west of the airport (including my residence), and these
residences depend upon these conservation -zoned lands to buffer them from Kenai airport
activity noise and pollution. Rezoning these lands wholesale to industrial will lead to removal of
these buffers, which will greatly reduce the quality of life for these residents.
This is a failed process as well: the vast majority of residents affected by the airport
rezone were not notified about this proposed rezone, because they live more than 300 feet away
from the rezoned land. There have been no town hall meetings about this plan, and very little
effort by the City -- the bare minimum required by code, which is extremely deficient -- to notify
the public of this rezone. I feel confident to say that just about every single person who lives of
the west side of the airport opposes this rezone, or would oppose it if they knew about it,
There has been no effort whatsoever to minimize this rezone to keep some conservation
or lands in place as buffers; for example, along Float Plane Road, or along the west side of the
airport. There needs to be a public process with alternatives, not just an automatic rezone of
every acre of airport lands to industrial.
3. Premature. Because the 2013 Comprehensive Plan failed completely, there is
now a process for a new plan being started. It is premature to enact these rezones before the
public is heard on what they want for Kenai airport lands and Lawton acres. There may be a
comprehensive plan supported by the public that does not have these rezones in it.
4. Lawton Acres Rezone Has No Public Support. This is the third time that I
have participated in objecting to the City's efforts to rezone Lawton Acres since I moved to
Kenai in 1982. Each time, there was little to no public support of rezoning these lands, and a
huge outcry against rezoning. And the last time, the rezoning was proposed to be limited
commercial, not general commercial as in this proposal, which is much less restrictive. Lawton
Acres, and the conservation land across the street, have provided buffers between the noisy
Kenai Spur Highway, and the residential neighborhoods north and south of the Kenai Spur
Highway, for decades. Removal of these buffers will degrade the quality of life for these
neighborhoods. There is no need to commercialize these properties at this time.
S. Process Not Compliant With City Code. KMC 14.20.270(b) provides that a
rezone (amendment to Kenai Zoning Code and maps) can only be applied for by the Kenai
Planning & Zoning Commission, Kenai City Council, petition by 50 residents, petition by a
majority of property owners in the area to be rezoned, and petition by residents under the City
charter. Yet the applicant for these rezones is "City of Kenai." There is no such applicant
allowed under the zoning code. This whole process is flawed and should be thrown out and done
correctly under the zoning code.
There is no urgent need to rezone these lands. These two resolutions are controversial
and divisive proposals. The Commission and City officials need to take more time, involve the
Public more, and get more public support before moving forward with these plans. As a result,
these proposals can easily wait until after the new comprehensive plan process is complete.
Please vote to table these resolutions until after the new comprehensive plan is adopted
by the Kenai City Council.
Very truly yours,
KRISTINE A. SCHMIDT �—

GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: City of Kenai
201 Fidalgo Avenue
Kenai, AK 99611
Requested Action: Rezone — 51 Parcels within the Airport Reserve
Boundary owned by the City of Kenai from
Conservation Zone, Rural Residential Zone,
Suburban Residential Zone, Light Industrial Zone to
Airport Light Industrial Zone.
Legal Description: Attached hereto as Exhibit "B"
KPB Parcel No.: Attached hereto as Exhibit "B"
Existing Zoning: Conservation (C), Rural Residential (RR), Suburban
Residential (RS), Light Industrial (IL)
Current Land Use: Kenai Municipal Airport — Various Aviation Uses
Land Use Plan: Airport Industrial & Neighborhood Residential
ANALYSIS
General Information:
When the City of Kenai received Zoning Authority from the Kenai Peninsula
Borough all parcels designated as Airport Property, were zoned Conservation
Zone. At the time, it was intended that these parcels be reserved for Kenai
Municipal Airport use pursuant to the 1963 Deed of Conveyance from the
Federal Aviation Administration. Over time, the interpretation of the
Conservation Zone has changed and has moved more towards preserving these
parcels for open spaces, watersheds and wildlife reserves. Airports are still
included in the Conservation Zone; however, it has been predominantly for
aircraft approach zones. As airport lands have been leased and developed, the
zoning designation of these parcels has been changed to Light Industrial (IL)
which allows "Airports" as a Conditional Use. Kenai Municipal Code Section
14.20.320 — Definitions, defines Airport Use as "a location where aircraft such as
fixed -wing aircraft, helicopters, and blimps take off and land.
PZ16 -07 Staff Report
Page 2
Aircraft may be stored or maintained at an airport. An airport consists of at least
one (1) surface such as a runway for a plane to take off and land, a helipad, or
water for takeoffs and landings, and often includes buildings such as control
towers, hangars and terminal buildings."
As discussed and proposed in PZ16 -05, staff is recommending that Kenai Municipal
Code Chapter 14.20 — Kenai Zoning Code be amended to enact Kenai Municipal
Code Section 14.20.065 — Airport Light Industrial Zone (ALI). As part of the
proposed creation of the ALI Zone, staff recommends that 51 parcels owned by the
City of Kenai as airport lands be rezoned from Conservation Zone, Rural Residential
Zone, Suburban Residential Zone and Light Industrial Zone to ALI. The rezoning of
these subject parcels would be in conjunction with the approval of an Ordinance by
the Council of the City of Kenai to enact the ALI Zone. A map showing the Kenai
Municipal Airport and the Airport Reserve Boundary with the proposed ALI Zone is
attached as Exhibit "A ". The Kenai Peninsula Borough Parcel Numbers and
respective legal descriptions for the proposed 51 parcels to be rezoned to ALI is
attached as Exhibit "B ".
Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.20.270 describes amendment procedures.
Section 2 states, "Amendments to the Official Zoning Map shall be considered
only if the area to be rezoned contains a minimum of one (1) acre (excluding
street or alley rights -of -way) unless the amendment enlarges an adjacent district
boundary." As shown on Exhibit "A ", the subject 51 parcels are zoned
Conservation Zone, Rural Residential Zone, Suburban Residential Zone and Light
Industrial Zone. The subject parcels are located entirely with the Airport Reserve
Boundary and comprise approximately 1,253.5 acres.
The intent of the Conservation Zone, as described in KMC 14.20.070 is: 'The C-
Zone is intended to apply to areas which should be preserved primarily as open
areas and a watersheds and wildlife reserves. Airport and related uses have
been included in this zone to allow for the reservation of aircraft approach zones.
It is intended that this zone shall apply mainly to publicly owned land."
The intent of the Rural Residential Zone, as described in KMC 14.20.080 is: 'The
RR Zone is intended to provide for low density residential development in
outlying and rural areas in a form which creates a stable and attractive residential
environment. The specific intent in establishing this zone is:
(1) To separate residential structures to an extent which will:
(A) Preserve the rural, open quality of the environment;
(B) Prevent health hazards in areas not served by public water and
sewer.
(2) To prohibit uses which would:
(A) Violate the residential character of the environment;
(B) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas."
PZ16 -07 Staff Report
Page 3
The intent of the Suburban Residential Zone, as described in KMC 14.20.090 is:
"The RS Zone is intended to provide for medium density residential development
in areas which will be provided with common utility systems. The specific intent in
establishing this zone is:
(1) To separate residential structures to an extent which will allow for adequate
light, air, and privacy;
(2) To prohibit uses which would:
(A) Violate the residential character of the environment;
(B) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas."
The intent of the Light Industrial Zone, as described in KMC 14.20.130 is: `The IL
Zone is designed to provide for the development of industrial and commercial
uses which are usually compatible and which are of a type which has no
nuisance effects upon surrounding property, or which may be controlled to
prevent any nuisance effects upon surrounding property. New residential uses
and other non - industrial uses, except as otherwise provided in this chapter, are
not permitted in this zone as principal uses because it is intended that land
classified in this zone be reserved for industrial and commercial purposes, and
because the IL zone is not suited to the excluded uses."
As described in PZ16 -05, the intent of the proposed Airport Light Industrial Zone
would be: 'The ALI Zone is established to protect the viability of the Kenai
Municipal Airport as a significant resource to the community by encouraging
compatible land uses, densities and reducing hazards that may endanger the
no nuisance effects upon surrounding property, or which may be controlled to
prevent nuisance effects upon surrounding property. New residential uses are
not permitted in this zone because it is intended that lots classified in the ALI
Zone are reserved for aviation - related commercial and industrial uses."
The 2003 Comprehensive Plan classifies the 51 subject parcels as Airport
Industrial and one parcel as Neighborhood Residential. The 2003 City of Kenai
Comprehensive plan classifies Airport Light Industrial as: 'The Airport Industrial
district identifies airport lands reserved for the Kenai Municipal Airport and its
future expansion, and tracts needed for present and future aviation - related uses
and activities."
Pursuant to the 2003 City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan, the subject 50 parcels
located within the Airport Reserve Boundary which have a Land Use designation
of Airport Industrial would be consistent with the rezoning from the Zoning
designations described above to ALI and would support continued consistency
with aviation compatible land -use. By their nature, airport land uses are
consistent with that of commercial or industrial type uses and are not generally
compatible with residential uses. Given that the subject 50 parcels have a land
use designation of Airport Industrial; it would be appropriate for commercial uses
to be located on it.
PZ16 -07 Staff Report
Page 4
Thus, providing general consistency with the 2003 Comprehensive Plan.
The 2003 City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan classifies Neighborhood Residential
as: 'The Neighborhood Residential district consists of single - family and multi-
family residential areas that are urban or suburban in character. Typically, public
water and sewer services are in place or planned for installation. This land use
district may include both single - family and multi - family dwellings subject to
reasonable density transitions and /or design compatibility. Formal public outdoor
spaces (parks) are a critical feature in this district. Small home -based
businesses may be accommodated within certain design guidelines.
Neighborhood institutional uses such as churches, schools, and day care
facilities may be intermixed if they comply with neighborhood design guidelines."
With regards to Kenai Peninsula Borough Parcel No. 04317037, further legally
described as Lot 1A, Kenai Cemetery Expansion No. 2. While this subject parcel
is located within the Airport Reserve Boundary, it has been designed to serve as
future development and expansion of the Kenai Cemetery. As defined in the
proposed ALI Zone, a cemetery would be a principally permitted use and would
therefore be allowed on the subject parcel. Furthermore, the expansion of the
Kenai Cemetery is a benefit to the Citizens of Kenai. Also, the 2003
Comprehensive Plan discusses the installation of outdoor spaces within the
Neighborhood Residential Land Use designation, which is a compatible
continued use of the subject parcel. Therefore, the continued designation of this
subject parcel for future expansion of the Kenai Cemetery would be consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan and with the ALI Zoning District.
RECOMMENDATIONS
As proposed the rezone meets the requirements of Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.270. The requested rezone would help to protect the viability of the Kenai
Municipal Airport. It would continue to seek and encourage appropriate
development and compatible land uses which are consistent with aviation uses.
It would also take into account the protection of Runway Protection Zones and
help to reduce hazards to public health, safety and welfare.
The issuance of the Rezoning permit shall be conditioned upon the following:
1. Applicant shall comply with all Federal, State and local regulations.
