This will be a continuing goal -until a plan has been updated and - approved by both Council and Commission Goal 2 Comprehensive Review of Street Names & Street Plan The Kenai Peninsula Borough adopted Ordinance 85-35 which "establishes a uniform street naming system throughout the Borough". The Borough has then initiated a computerized j Geographical Information System which has the capability of j{ being shared by users throughout the Borough, however the system is estimated to be on line in approximately 5 years by Borough staff. In the interim this will be an ongoing process. Goal 3 Update Zoning Code 1. Zero Lot Line Ordinance a The Commission approved a final draft of the ordinance and sent it on to the City Council and Administration. The Attorney's office reviewed and redrafted the ordinance.

This group will begin a process similar to that of the Kasprisin Plan to upgrade Old Towne. -- — - - _ This goal will be removed for 1988, however, will probably be involved in the planning process once funds have been acquired and the project moves forward. }.
