multifamily dwellings beyond a four-family dwelling and only allowing four-family dwellings by
conditional use; and,

with designated principal uses in specific zoning districts provided certain conditions are met,
intended to assure the proposed use is compatible with the surroundings; and,
WHEREAS , currently, the RR1 Zone allows four-family dwellings , limited marij uana cultivation
facilities , professional offices , many public and institutional uses, bed and breakfasts , day care
centers and surface extraction of natural resources, many with proximi ty limita ti ons to the Kenai
Spur Highway; and ,

by an institution of high learning, e.g ., Doctor of Medicine , and "office" as a room or group of
rooms used for conducting the affairs of a business, profession, service, industry, or government;
and ,
WHEREAS, many business and consumer services, professional offices, gunsmithing , and
taxidermy business can be run out of single family dwellings with negligible traffic and impact on
surrounding properties; and,
WHEREAS, many business and consumer services, professional offices, gunsmithing and
taxidermy are compatible with the residential character and location of the RR 1 zones and should
be allowed through a conditional use permit; and,
WHEREAS, removing the restrictions on the location of professional offices by conditional use
within the RR1 zone will allow more opportunity for the location of low impact businesses within
the RR1 zone; and ,
WHEREAS, on March 27, 2019, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on
Resolution No . PZ2019-11 and did not recommend approval of Ordinance No. 3056-2019 to City

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
FROM: Council Members Jim Glendening and Robert Peterkin
DATE: February 28, 2019
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3056-2019 – Amending Kenai Municipal Code 14.22.010-
Land Use Table
____________________________________________________________________________
The intent of this Ordinance is to conditionally allow for low impact compatible uses in the RR1
Zoning Districts, specifically business and consumer services, gunsmith and taxidermies, and
expand the location options for professional offices within the zone. These uses generally have
low traffic flow and would allow for expanded business opportunities without disrupting the
character and nature of the RR1 zones. Any exceptions for business plans that would have a high
traffic volume or impact on the neighborhoods can be excluded through the conditional use
permitting process.
The City has very recently had two inquiries from individuals wanting to start businesses in the
RR1 zone. One was a resident wishing to do gunsmithing from his home, and another wanting to
locate a new professional office in the RR1 zone.
The proposed change to the Land Use Table needs to be considered by the Planning and Zoning
Commission, and it is requested that, after introduction, this Ordinance be referred by Council to
the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration and a recommendation. A public hearing
at the Council level will need to be postponed until after the Planning and Zoning Commission
has made a recommendation.

OF THE CITY OF KENAI , ALASKA:
Section 1.
findings:
That the Kenai City Counc il enact Ordinance 3056-2019, based on the following
a . Ordinance 3056-2019 meets the intent of the RR-1 Zone .
The RR-1 Zone is to provide for low density residential development in a form which
creates a stable and attractive residential environment separating residential structures to
preserve the rural , open quality of the environment preventing hea lth hazards in areas not
served by public water and sewer and prohibit uses that would violate the res idential
character of the environment and generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential
areas . Business/consumer services, taxidermy/gunsmithing, and professional offices are
businesses that may be successfully developed without generating heavy traffic or
changing the character of the RR-1 Zone . Connections to publ ic water and sewer exist in
much of the western portion of the RR-1 Zone .
b . Ordinance 3056-2019 is consistent with the 2016 Envision Kenai 2030 Comprehensive
Plan.
The proposed ordinance is consistent with the Land Use Plan identifying much of the RR-
1 Zone as Suburban Residential. Allowing for business/consumer services and
gunsmithing/taxidermy with a conditional use permit and removing the location restriction
on professional offices within the RR-1 Zone supports the goals and objectives for Goal
2-Economic Development and Goal 3-Land Use. The ordinance specifically supports
Objective ED-2 to implement business-friendly regulations , Objective LU-2 to promote the
infill of existing developed lots, Objective LU-3 to review zoning codes to address current
Resolution No . PZ2019-11
Page 3 of 3
and future land uses, and LU-5 to support development outside of major employment
centers that provides a mix of retail, service, and residential uses.
c. The purpose of conditional uses is to recognize that some uses may be compatible with
designated principal uses in specific zoning districts provided certain conditions are met,
intended to assure the proposed use is compatible with the surroundings, and
business/consumer services, gunsmithing/taxidermy, and removing the location restriction
on professional offices would allow for some uses that may be compatible with the RR-1
Zone.
The conditional use permit process, which requires a public hearing and notification of
property owners within 300-feet, would review proposed uses against the following review
criteria : consistency with the intent of the RR-1 Zone, property values and the
neighborhood would not be significantly impaired , consistency with the Comprehensive
Plan, adequate public services and utilities, public safety, health , and welfare, and any
specific conditions deemed necessary by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Ordinance 3056-2019 will contribute to the economic viability of the City of Kenai while
still supporting the intent RR-1 Zone
Section 2. That a copy of Resolution PZ2019-11 be forwarded to the Kenai City Council.
PASSED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
FROM: Council Members Jim Glendening and Robert Peterkin
DATE: April 9, 2019
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3056-2019 – Amending Kenai Municipal Code 14.22.010-
Land Use Table
____________________________________________________________________________
There are six residential zoning districts in the City of Kenai:
• Urban Residential (RU)
• Suburban Residential (RS)
• Suburban Residential - 1 (RS-1)
• Suburban Residential - 2 (RS-2)
• Rural Residential (RR)
• Rural Residential - 1 (RR-1)
Table 1. Number (#) of Uses in Residential Zones
Zone # of Conditional Uses # of Principal Permitted
Uses
# of Not Permitted Uses
RU 48 9 10
RS 53 6 8
RS-1 29 4 34
RS-2 28 4 35
RR 55 6 6
RR-1 18 4 45
Kenai Municipal Code 14.22.010 (KMC) Land Use Table gives 67 categories of land use and the
RR-1 Zone has 18 conditional uses. All other residential zones of the City allow for at least 28
conditional uses.
There are currently no footnotes in the land use table that limit conditional uses to home
occupation permits by zone. Conditional use permits must be approved by the Planning and
Zoning Commission with a public hearing. A conditional use permit requires a public notice in a
Page 2 of 2
Ordinance No. 3056-2019 – Amending Kenai Municipal Code 14.22.010-Land Use Table
newspaper of general circulation, notice to property owners within three-hundred feet (300’)
periphery of the affected parcel, and notice must be posted on the property so as to be visible
from adjacent streets. Conditional use permits may not be issued if the use would significantly
impair the neighborhood or be inconsistent with the purposes and intent of the zoning district.
Ordinance No. 3056-2019 does not change the intent or purpose of the RR-1 Zone.
With the exception of the RU Zone, all residential zones have in their intent to prohibit uses that
would generate heavy traffic and violate the residential character of the environment. The 2016
Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan states in goal Land Use-3 to, “Review existing zoning
and subdivision codes to determine if they address current and future land uses adequately.” The
Land Use Plan shows the western part of the RR-1 Zone to be within the Suburban Residential
Zone, and the western part of the RR-1 Zone to be within the Rural Residential Zone. The change
to the land use table would more adequately address the current and future land uses needs of
the RR-1 Zone.
Thank you for your consideration of this additional analysis for Ordinance No. 3056-2019.

April 9, 2019 \
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3056-2019, Amending Kenai Municipal Code
14.22.010-Land Use Table for the RRl Zone
There are several potential amendments to this ordinance for Council's consideration that are set
out in the accompanying Table of Potential Amendments -Ordinance No. 3056-2019. If
approved , the first amendment would adopt the City Clerk's recommended amendment to reflect
what took place at the Planning & Zoning Commission's 3/27119 meeting. If approved , the other
amendments together would:
(1) Add a new Footnote 31. Uses designated with "C31 " would be allowed only fo r a u se
with a home occupation permit.
The Kenai Z oning Code permits home occupations that are compatible with other permitted u ses
and with the residential character of a neighborhood, and that are clearly secondary or incidental
to the residential use of the main building and any accessory structures. "Home Occupation"
means an "accessory use carried out for remuneration by a resident in the resident's dwelling
unit" (the main residential building and any accessory building or structure on the parcel).
(2) Retain Footnote 29. Uses designated with "C29" would continue to be allowed only for
those parcels that abut the Kenai Spur Highway, with driveway access on the Kenai Spur
Highway or from a dedicated ri ght-of-way not more than 275 feet from the centerline of the
Kenai Spur Highway.
(3) Gunsmithing/Taxidermy, Business/Consumer Services, and Professional Offices would
have their designations changed to "C29 or C31." Uses designated "C29 or C31 " would allow
all of the se u ses as a conditional use:
(a) With a home occupation pennit on any parcel within the RRl Z one; OR
(b) As a larger busine ss, only on those parcels that abut the Kenai Spur Highway.
Copies of three RR-1 Zone Maps and KMC 14.20.230 Home Occupations are al so included .
Council's support of these amendments is respectfully requested.

Gunsmithing/Taxidermy
Move to amend page 5 of the Land use table for Gunsmithing/Taxidermy to change "N" to

as a conditional use in the RR1 Zone (1) on any parcel as a home occupation business w ith a
home occupation permit; OR (2) on any parcel that abuts the Kenai Spur Highway.

home occupation permit; OR (2) on any parcel that abuts the Kenai Spur Highway.

occupation permit; OR (2) on any parcel that abuts the Kenai Spur Highway.

Move four amendments:
(1) Move to amend the 9th Whereas clause on page 2 of the Ordinance as follows:
"WHEREAS , [MANY] business and consumer services, professional offices, gunsmithing , and
taxidermy business can be run out of single family dwellings with negligible traffic and impact on
surrounding properties; and,"
(2) Move to amend the 101h Whereas Clause on page 2 of the Ordinance as follows:

should be allowed through a conditional use permit with the use allowed for a home
occupation or on those parcels that abut the Kenai Spur Highway as provided in
Footnotes 29 and 31; and ,"

"WHEREAS, allowing business and consumer services, professional offices, gunsmithing
and taxidermy as a home occupation [REMOVING THE RESTRICTIONS ON THE
