fifteen foot (15’) utility easement along the southern boundary of Tract 5, Beluga Subdivision 2015
Replat & Right-of-Way vacation. Ostrander added that the City of Kenai does not object to the

GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Hall Building LLC
P.O. Box 2829
Kenai, Alaska 99611
Submitted By: Integrity Surveys
820 Set Net Drive
Kenai, Alaska 99611
Requested Action: Preliminary Subdivision Plat – Windhaven Estates
Phase 3
Existing Legal Description: Tract 1-A, Parsons Homestead No. 3
Proposed Legal Description: Lots 1 through 3, inclusive, Block 3, and Tract A,
Windhaven Estates Phase 3
Street Address: 1712 Redoubt Ave.
KPB Parcel No: 04101444
Existing Zoning: Suburban Residential
Current Land Use: Vacant
Land Use Plan: Suburban Residential
ANALYSIS
Windhaven Estates Phase 1 was developed in the summer of 1998 and consisted of 33
lots varying in size from approximately 15,281 square feet to approximately 18,005 square
feet. The plat was recorded on June 22, 1998, under Plat No. 98-26. An Installation
Agreement was executed by the City of Kenai and Clint D. Hall, Developer, for Phase 1.
Windhaven Estates Phase 2 was developed in the summer of 1999 and consisted of 8
lots varying in size from approximately 15,600 square feet to approximately 17,746 square
feet. The plat was recorded on September 27, 1999, under Plat No. 99-60. An Installation
Agreement was executed by the City of Kenai and Clint D. Hall, Developer, for Phase 2.
The 2018 Windhaven Estates Phase 3 proposed preliminary plat currently up for review
by the Planning and Zoning Commission would create 3 lots from the property described
as Tract 1-A, Parsons Homestead No. 3. The proposed lots are described as Lots One
through Three (1-3), Block Three (3), Windhaven Estates Phase 3 and each lot is
approximately 15,300 square feet.
The subject property is zoned Suburban Residential (RS); therefore, pursuant to Kenai
Municipal Code 14.24.010 the minimum lot size is 7,200 square feet. The proposed lots
meet the minimum lot size requirement. Furthermore, the proposed lots meet the minimum
lot width of 60 feet as required in the Suburban Residential Zone.
7
City water and sewer services are located within the right-of-way of Skyler Lane and
property owners will connect to water and sewer services as required by Kenai Municipal
Code 17.10.010 and 17.20.010. Access to the proposed lots would be via Skyler Lane, a
paved City-maintained road. Skyler Lane is already constructed and water and sewer
services are available, so an additional Installation Agreement is not required for
development of Lots One through Three (1-3), Block Three (3) in Windhaven Estates
Phase 3. The 48.233-acre parcel shown as Tract A is designated for future development.
Prior to the development of additional lots on Tract A, the Developer will be required to
complete an Installation Agreement with the City for road construction and water and
sewer line installation.
There is an existing utility easement along the southerly twenty-feet (20’) of Lot One (1),
Block Three (3), which is carried over from the parent plat of Parson’s Homestead No. 3,
plat number 89-52. This easement is not currently shown on the 2018 preliminary plat of
Lots One through Three (1 – 3), Block Three (3), Windhaven Estates Phase 3. Planning
and Zoning staff recommend this easement be delineated on the proposed preliminary
plat.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Planning and Zoning Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Windhaven
Estates, Phase 3, subject to the following conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all Federal, State and local
regulations.
2. The existing twenty-foot (20’) utility easement shall be delineated on Lot One (1),
Block Three (3), of the proposed plat.
3. Prior to the development of additional lots on Tract A, the developer will be required
to complete an Installation Agreement with the City for road construction and water
and sewer line installation.

CITY OF KENAI
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION PZ2018-13
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING TO THE
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, TO AMEND KENAI MUNICIPAL CODE
SECTIONS 14.20.330-Standards For Commercial Marijuana Establishments and 14.20.010-
Land Use Table to Prohibit Standard Marijuana Cultivation Facilities in Residential Zones.
WHEREAS, on November 4, 2014, the voters of the State of Alaska passed Ballot Measure No.
2, An Act to Tax and Regulate the Production, Sale, and Use of Marijuana, codified as Alaska
Statute 17.38; and,
WHEREAS, Alaska Statute 17.38.210 states in part that “a local government may enact
ordinances or regulations not in conflict with this chapter or with regulations enacted pursuant to
this chapter, governing the time, place, manner and number of marijuana establishment
operations”; and,
WHEREAS, the City, as a home rule municipality, has the authority to provide responsible Zoning
Regulations that protect the public peace, health, safety and welfare; and,
WHEREAS, the City has enacted regulations of commercial marijuana establishments through its
zoning code and land use table; and,
WHEREAS, after numerous public hearings on conditional use permits for commercial marijuana
establishments, further review and implementation of the recently enacted regulations and
experience with the newly legalized industry, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends
certain amendments to the current regulations; and,
WHEREAS, State Statute and Kenai Municipal Code recognize a difference between commercial
marijuana cultivation ‘standard’ (over 500 square feet or greater) and limited (less than 500 square
feet); and,
WHEREAS, current City regulations allow both standard and limited commercial cultivation in
residential zones through a conditional use permit as long as other zoning requirements are met;
and,
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds that standard commercial cultivation may
have an unjustifiable impact on residential neighborhoods given the potential business nature of
a larger scale cultivation, including numerous employees and increased traffic that is not
compatible with residential neighborhoods; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the Kenai Zoning Code and Land
Use table be amended to prohibit standard marijuana cultivation facilities in residential zones as
provided below.
15
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RECOMMENDED TO THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA, THAT
Section 1. That an Ordinance be enacted to amend Kenai Municipal Code sections 14.20.330
and 14.22.010 as follows:
A. 14.20.330 Standards for Commercial Marijuana Establishments.
The purpose of this section is to establish general standards for commercial marijuana
establishments.
(a) Commercial marijuana establishments may be permitted or allowed with a conditional
use permit under KMC 14.20.150, as provided in the City of Kenai’s land use table, KMC
14.22.010, and the provisions of this section.
(b) Applicants applying for a conditional use permit must include an area map drawn to
scale indicating all land uses on other properties within a five hundred (500) foot proximity of
the lot upon which the applicant is seeking a conditional use permit. This shall be in addition
to the conditional use permit submission requirements in KMC 14.20.150.
(c) A public hearing shall be scheduled before the Planning and Zoning Commission to
review the conditional use permit application once it has been deemed complete. The public
hearing shall be scheduled in accordance with the requirements in KMC 14.20.280, except
that notification shall be mailed to all real property owners on record on the Borough
Assessor’s records within a five hundred (500) foot periphery of the parcel af fected by the
proposed action.
(d) The preparation, packaging, manufacturing, processing, and storing of all marijuana,
marijuana concentrate or marijuana products must be conducted within a fully enclosed,
secure indoor facility. The growing and cultivating of marijuana must be conducted within a
fully-enclosed, secure indoor facility or greenhouse with view-obscuring rigid walls, a roof
and doors, unless a non-rigid greenhouse, or other structure, is specifically approved, in
which case the cultivation must be enclosed by a sight obscuring wall or fence at least six
(6) feet high.
(e) All commercial marijuana establishments shall not emit an odor that is detectable by the
public from outside the commercial marijuana establishment.
(f) No portion of a parcel upon which any commercial marijuana establishment is located
shall be permitted within the following buffer distances:
(1) One thousand (1,000) feet of any primary and secondary schools (K-12) and five
hundred (500) feet of any vocational programs, post-secondary schools, including but
not limited to trade, technical, or vocational schools, colleges and universities,
recreation or youth centers, correctional facilities, churches, and state licensed
substance abuse treatment facilities providing substance abuse treatment; and
(2) Buffer distances shall be measured as the closest distance from the perimeter of
a stand-alone commercial marijuana establishment structure to the outer boundaries of
the school, recreation or youth center, or the main public entrance of a church,
correctional facility, or a substance abuse treatment facility providing substance abuse
treatment. If the commercial marijuana establishment occupies only a portion of a
structure, buffer distances are measured as the closest distance from the perimeter of
the closest interior wall segregating the commercial marijuana establishment from other
uses, or available uses in the structure, or an exterior wall if closer, to the outer
boundaries of the school, recreation or youth center, or the main public entranc e of a
church or correctional facility, or a substance abuse treatment facility providing
substance abuse treatment.
16
(g) As provided in the Land Use Table, a person or licensee may apply for a conditional use
permit to allow for a marijuana cultivation facility, standard, on lots of forty thousand (40,000)
square feet or greater in size, and a marijuana cultivation facility, limited, on any size lot.
(h) A marijuana cultivation facility, standard, or a marijuana cultivation facility, limited, shall
only be allowed on a lot which has an existing structure consistent with a principal permitted
use.
(i) A marijuana cultivation facility located in an accessory building shall be subject to the
setback provisions in KMC 14.24.020, development requirements table. A person or licensee
seeking relief from the provisions in the development requirements table may apply for a
variance subject to the provisions of KMC 14.20.180.
