Kenai, Alaska 99611
Submitted By: Nancy Casey 907-394-2577
Casey Planning & Design

Soldotna, AK 99669
Requested Action: Overflow Parking Lot
Legal Description: Tract D, Nissen Subd., Malstons-Braun Addition 1983
Street Address: 507 Upland St.
KPB Parcel No.: 04706419
Existing Zoning: Central Commercial (CC)
Current Land Use: Overflow Parking Lot – Wellness Campus
Land Use Plan: Mixed Use
ANALYSIS
General Information:
The Kenaitze Indian Tribe purchased the subject parcel in November of 2012. Pursuant to Kenai
Peninsula Borough assessing records, the subject parcel was used as a Recreational Vehicle
Park. According to the submitted application, the Kenaitze Indian Tribe would like to use the
subject parcel as an overflow parking lot containing 38 parking spaces to serve the greater
campus area and for employee parking. The greater Kenaitze Indian Tribe campus consists of
the: Dena’ina Wellness Center, Na’ina Building, Tykotas Elder Center and Kenaitze Tribal Court
building.
Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150 details the intent and application process for conditional
uses. The code also specifies the review criteria that must be satisfied prior to issuing the
permit. The criteria are:
The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes and intent of the
zoning district.
o Staff finds the proposed development meets this standard.
Page 5 of 45
PZ 16-01 Staff Report
Page 2 of 7
The subject parcel is located within the Central Commercial Zone. Public parking lots are a
conditional use in the Central Commercial zone; therefore, the Kenaitze Indian Tribe has
submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed overflow parking lot is
necessary because the Dena’ina Wellness Center, Na’ina Building and Kenaitze Tribal Court
building do not meet the parking requirements, pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.250 as
follows:
1. The Dena’ina Wellness Center is 52,000 square feet and is considered a care center
(medical/dental clinic) requiring one (1) parking space for every 250 square feet. Because
the center is considered a mixed-use facility, the required parking is reduced by 25%.
Required parking for the facility is 156 spaces. The site provides 139 spaces; therefore,
an additional 17 spaces are required to meet the parking requirements;
2. The parking requirement for the Na’ina Building which is a professional office building is
one (1) per four hundred (400) square feet of gross floor area. The total gross floor area
for the building is 9,037 square feet; therefore, 23 spaces are required to meet the parking
requirement. The site plan provides for 21 spaces; therefore, an additional two spaces are
required to meet parking requirements.
3. The parking requirement for the Kenaitze Tribal Court Building is based on typical
occupancy of eighty percent (80%) of the sum of the following: five (5) spaces per
courtroom, plus one (1) per four hundred (400) square feet of gross office space. The total
gross floor area for the building is 2,596 square feet; therefore, nine spaces are required
to meet the parking requirement. Patrons of the tribal court building are currently parking
in spaces adjacent to the sidewalk in front of the building which are located in the Dena’ina
Wellness Center parking lot. Nine spaces located in the overflow parking lot shall
compensate for the loss of the nine spaces in the Dena’ina Wellness Center parking lot.
4. The parking requirements for the Tyotkas Elder Center are as follows:
a. Assembly without fixed seats: Art galleries, community/senior centers, museums
and municipal buildings: One (1) per five hundred (500) square feet of gross floor
areas. Therefore, at 4,900 square feet of community/senior center area, the total
number of required parking spaces is ten.
b. Restaurants, cafes, delicatessen, eating and drinking establishments, clubs,
nightclubs and lodges, etc.: One (1) per each two hundred (200) square feet of
gross floor area or one (1) per four (4) seats, whichever is greater. Therefore, at
1,600 square feet of gross floor area for the restaurant, the total number of required
parking spaces is eight.
c. The number of required parking for the Tyotkas Elder Center is 18 spaces. The
site plan provides for 19 parking spaces. As discussed in PZ15-04; Conditional
Use Permit for the Tyotkas Elder Center, Condition of Approval Number 4, stated
that a total of seven (7) parking spaces would need to be created in an off-site
parking lot to accommodate the construction of the building. Thus, the proposed
over flow parking lot, meets this requirement.

landscaped with ground cover, trees, shrubbery, boulders and driftwood.
Lighting – provide illumination for safety and security of persons using the
parking lot.
o Lighting shall include two LED lights with greater than 10,000 lumen output at
no more than 100 watts input power. The light along East boundary shall have
a Type 3 distribution and the light in the middle of the parking lot shall have a

Campus which consists of the Dena’ina Wellness Center, Na’ina Building,
Tykotas Elder Center and Kenaitze Tribal Court building. The site plan
discloses that there are thirty two (32) parking spaces in total; thirteen spaces
are located on the North boundary and thirteen spaces are located on the

The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be significantly impaired.
Staff finds the proposed development meets this standard.
The construction of the proposed over flow parking area will not significantly impair the
surrounding neighborhood. The proposed parking lot will improve parking within Old Town Kenai
by expanding off-street parking for the Kenaitze Indian Tribe. This will reduce parking demand
loads for on-street parking and will enhance safety for pedestrian and vehicular movements.
The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff finds the proposed development meets this standard.
The 2003 Comprehensive Plan provides that the Mixed Use district fosters a compatible mix of
retail, service, office, public, institutional recreational and multi-family residential uses. The district
does not prescribe specific proportions for these uses, only that all these uses are desirable within
the district. Mixed uses are particularly desirable in the Townsite Historic District and City Center
overlay zone.
The proposed parking lot is compatible with the 2003 Comprehensive Plan. The parking lot will
foster development that is compatible with both office and service type uses that are provided by
the Kenaitze Indian Tribe.
Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Staff finds the proposed development meets this standard.
The use of the subject parcel will not require the use of sewer or water services. New LED lighting
Page 9 of 45
PZ 16-01 Staff Report
Page 6 of 7
will be installed to provide illumination for persons using the parking lot.
The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.

1. The Dena’ina Wellness Center is 52,000 square feet and is considered a care center
(medical/dental clinic) requiring one (1) parking space for every 250 square feet.
Because the center is considered a mixed-use facility, the required parking is reduced by

therefore, an additional 17 spaces are required to meet the parking requirements;
2. The parking requirement for the Na’ina Building which is a professional office building is
one (1) per four hundred (400) square feet of gross floor area. The total gross floor area
for the building is 9,037 square feet; therefore, 23 spaces are required to meet the
parking requirement. The site plan provides for 21 spaces; therefore, an additional two
spaces are required to meet parking requirements.
3. The parking requirement for the Kenaitze Tribal Court Building is based on typical
occupancy of eighty percent (80%) of the sum of the following: five (5) spaces per
courtroom, plus one (1) per four hundred (400) square feet of gross office space. The
total gross floor area for the building is 2,596 square feet; therefore, nine spaces are
required to meet the parking requirement. Patrons of the tribal court building are
currently parking in spaces adjacent to the sidewalk in front of the building which are
located in the Dena’ina Wellness Center parking lot. Nine spaces located in the overflow
parking lot shall compensate for the loss of the nine spaces in the Dena’ina Wellness

number of required parking spaces is ten.
b. Restaurants, cafes, delicatessen, eating and drinking establishments, clubs,
nightclubs and lodges, etc.: One (1) per each two hundred (200) square feet of
gross floor area or one (1) per four (4) seats, whichever is greater. Therefore, at
1,600 square feet of gross floor area for the restaurant, the total number of
required parking spaces is eight.
c. The number of required parking for the Tyotkas Elder Center is 18 spaces. The
site plan provides for 19 parking spaces. As discussed in PZ15-04; Conditional
Use Permit for the Tyotkas Elder Center, Condition of Approval Number 4, stated

The crosswalk markings must be installed parallel to vehicular traffic on Upland Street.
B. The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be significantly impaired.
The construction of the proposed over flow parking area will not significantly impair the
surrounding neighborhood. The proposed parking lot will improve parking within Old Town
Kenai by expanding off-street parking for the Kenaitze Indian Tribe. This will reduce
parking demand loads for on-street parking and will enhance safety for pedestrian and
vehicular movements.
C. The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
The 2003 Comprehensive Plan provides that the Mixed Use district fosters a compatible mix
of retail, service, office, public, institutional recreational and multi-family residential uses.
The district does not prescribe specific proportions for these uses, only that all these uses
are desirable within the district. Mixed uses are particularly desirable in the Townsite
Historic District and City Center overlay zone.
The proposed parking lot is compatible with the 2003 Comprehensive Plan. The parking lot
will foster development that is compatible with both office and service type uses that are
provided by the Kenaitze Indian Tribe.
D. Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
The use of the subject parcel will not require the use of sewer or water services. New LED
lighting will be installed to provide illumination for persons using the parking lot.
E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
The proposed use of the subject parcel as a parking lot will not be harmful to the public
safety, health or welfare; and,
WHEREAS, any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Planning and Zoning
Commission to fulfill the conditions as set forth below shall be met by the applicant. These
may include, but are not limited to measures relative to access, screening, site
development, building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the
proposed use, as follows:
1. All required landscaping as presented in the approved landscaping plan shall be installed
within two (2) years of the approved landscaping plan
.
2. One hundred percent (100%) of ground cover of the landscaping beds shall be planted and
maintained so that there is no exposed soil within three years of the approved plan.
3. Snow storage shall be temporarily located on the subject parcel until such time as it can be
removed from the site. No snow may be stored in such a manner that would block visibility
for ingress and egress to the parcel.
Page 16 of 45
4. If construction of the project has not started within one year of the approval of the
landscaping/site plan, the approval may be revoked by the Administrative Official after
providing at least thirty (30) Day notice unless extended for good cause.
5. All lighting shall be installed pursuant to the approved lighting plan.
6. The crosswalk shall be installed parallel to vehicular traffic on Upland Street.
7. The installation of tactile pads shall be required at all sidewalk landings.
8. The parking lot shall be asphalt paved and striped pursuant to the approved construction
plans.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA THAT THE APPLICANT HAS
DEMONSTRATED THAT THE PROPOSED OVERFLOW PARKING LOT MEETS THE
CONDITIONS REQUIRED FOR SAID OPERATION AND THEREFORE THE
COMMISSION DOES AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIAL TO ISSUE THE
APPROPRIATE PERMIT.
PASSED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA, this 24th of February, 2016.
