activity is required from the State. While there is an opportunity for the City to prohibit onsite
consumption, this Ordinance permits the activity through a conditional use permit process. In
order to accomplish this, the City’s zoning code and land use table are proposed to be amended
to include a definition of an onsite consumption endorsement, clarify that a conditional use permit
separate from a conditional use permit for the retail facility is required, and provide where the
business activity is allowed in the City. These changes can be found on pages 12, 16, 17 and 19.
The State regulations require an applicant to apply with the Marijuana Control Board for an onsite
endorsement, with new application fees of $1000, renewal fees of $600, and license fees of
$2000. Once an endorsement is obtained (and a conditional use permit in Kenai), a retail
marijuana store can sell marijuana and marijuana products, excluding concentrates, to customers
in a consumption area separated from the rest of the store. For consumption, only one gram may
be sold to a person per day, or edible products containing 10 mg or less of THC. Food and
beverages not containing alcohol or marijuana may also be sold at the location. Tobacco cannot
be consumed in consumption areas, and only product purchased at the location can be
consumed. Drunk and intoxicated people are prohibited from entering or remaining onsite.
“Intoxicated” is defined as “intoxicated form the use of a drug or alcohol.” (I recognize this is not
a very informative definition) Consumption areas are required to have smoke free areas for
employees to monitor the consumption area, a ventilation system that eliminates odor, security
measures and procedures for handling unconsumed product. Outdoor consumption areas are
contemplated in the regulations with additional requirements that the activity must be compatible
with surrounding uses, there must be sight obscuring borders, and there is allowance for objection
by property owners within 250 feet and local government objection.
Your consideration is appreciated. 30

From: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner
Date: April 14, 2019
Subject: Resolution PZ2019-13 - Recommending the Council of the City of Kenai Enact
Ordinance 3061-2019 Amending Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.320- Definitions, 14.20.330-
Standard for Commercial Marijuana Establishments and 14.22.010- Land Use Table, To
Incorporate Onsite Consumption of Marijuana at Retail Marijuana Establishments into the City
of Kenai’s Code of Ordinances.
GENERAL INFORMATION
During their regular meeting on April 3, 2019, the Kenai City Council voted to refer Ordinance
No. 3061-2019 – Amending Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.20.320 Land Use Table-
Definitions, 14.20.330- Standard for Commercial Marijuana Establishments and 14.22.010-
Land Use Table, To Incorporate Onsite Consumption of Marijuana at Retail Marijuana
Establishments into the City of Kenai’s Code of Ordinances, to the City of Kenai Planning and
Zoning Commission for consideration and a recommendation. Ordinance No. 3056-2019 would
amend KMC 14.22.010 Land Use Table to add a conditional use of an onsite consumption
endorsement that may be applied for by retail marijuana stores through a conditional use permit
process that follows State regulations. City Attorney Scott Bloom provided a memorandum
summarizing State regulations and background documents pertaining to the State regulations,
which are included as attachments to this memorandum. The items from the City Council
meeting were also included in the packet as an informational item for the Planning and Zoning
Commission on April 10, 2019.
The City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission acts in an advisory capacity to the Kenai
City Council on the Kenai Zoning Code as specified in KMC 14.05.010 Duties and powers under
Title 14 Planning and Zoning Commission. The Kenai City Council will consider Ordinance No.
3061-2019 with the recommendation of the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission
through Resolution PZ2019-13 at their meeting on May 1, 2019. Both the City Council and the
Planning and Zoning Commission will consider their respective ordinance and resolution
through public hearings as required by City Code.

PZ2019-13 Staff Report Page 2
Public Notice, Public Comment
The proposed change to City Code was referred to the Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission
from the Kenai City Council. Pursuant to KMC 14.20.280, Public hearing and notifications, City
staff published notice of the Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing in the Peninsula
Clarion and posted notice in three public places.
No public comments have been submitted to the City of Kenai as of April 16, 2019.
ANALYSIS
Definition of Onsite Consumption
The proposed Code changes would add the following new definition to KMC 14.20.320
Definitions:
“Onsite Consumption Endorsement” means the state regulated consumption of certain
marijuana products at or adjacent to a retail marijuana store by patrons of the commercial
marijuana establishment.
With this definition, retail marijuana stores may obtain a conditional use permit from the City for
onsite consumption. A separate license from the State for an onsite consumption endorsement to
a retail marijuana store would also be required.
The City of Kenai currently has four permitted retail marijuana stores. The City also has four
permitted marijuana manufacturing facilities and cultivation facilities, but only retail marijuana
stores may obtain an onsite consumption endorsement. Onsite consumption would not be allowed
as a stand-alone use and would need to be part of a retail marijuana store.
Zoning and Land Use Table for Onsite Consumption
KMC 14.20.330 Standards for Commercial Marijuana Establishments would be amended by
Ordinance 3061-2019 to state under KMC 14.20.330(a) that an onsite consumption endorsement
may be permitted or allowed with a conditional use permit. KMC 14.20.330(j) would be an addition
to state:
“A conditional use permit for onsite consumption of marijuana and/or certain marijuana
products must be obtained, in addition to a state issued endorsement license, prior to
operation of any onsite consumption in the City. The conditional use permit for onsite
consumption must be separate from and in addition to any conditional use permit for the
operation of a retail marijuana store. An onsite consumption conditional use permit will not
be issued until a conditional use permit for a retail marijuana store has been issued for the
same location.”
Since the onsite consumption endorsement could only be obtained by retail marijuana stores, the
proposed change to the zoning table for the use of onsite consumption endorsements matches
the zones where retail marijuana stores are allowed in the City. Retail marijuana stores and
proposed for onsite consumption endorsements are a conditional use in the General Commercial
(CG), Light Industrial (IL), Heavy Industrial (IH), Limited Commercial (LC), and Central Mixed Use
35
PZ2019-13 Staff Report Page 3
(CMU) zones; not permitted use in all other zones. Footnote 31 is proposed to be added to the
Land Use Table to explicitly state that, “a conditional use permit for an onsite consumption
endorsement can only be approved if the applicant has a current conditional use permit for a retail
marijuana store”.
The conditional use permit for onsite consumption endorsement would go through the normal
evaluation procedure to meet the review criteria for issuance of a conditional use permit, including
a review during a public hearing that the use would meet the intent of the zoning district and the
Comprehensive Plan, that neighboring property and the neighborhood would not be significantly
impaired, that the use would not be harmful to public safety, health, or welfare, and that public
services and facilities would be adequate to serve the proposed use. Onsite consumption would
be evaluated in addition to the evaluation for a retail marijuana store.
Public Safety and Limitations on Onsite Consumption
The State legislation would require an additional State license impose regulations on onsite
consumption. Consumption would be limited to 1 gram per person or edible products containing
10mg or less of THC. Tobacco, concentrates, alcohol, or marijuana products not sold at the
location may not be consumed. Food or beverage not containing alcohol or marijuana may be
sold and consumed at the location. Products must be consumed in an area separated from the
rest of the store with a smoke free area for employees to monitor the consumption area. Outdoor
consumption areas must be compatible with surrounding uses, have sight obscuring borders,
consider the air intake vents on neighboring buildings, and consider the objections of local
property owners within 250 feet of the outdoor consumption. KMC 12.40.020 regulates smoking,
which prohibits smoking within all indoor eating establishments and bowling alleys. Marijuana
smoking would be required to follow City and State regulations for smoking, including KMC 12.40,
Regulation of Smoking.
Kenai Police Dispatch provided statistics on call volumes on marijuana-related cases since
legalization, as shown in Table 1. It is difficult to correlate causes and effects on concerns for
public safety as the marijuana-related cases cover a broad range, but call volume for marijuana-
related cases has decreased over time including a sharp drop in 2015 after the legalization vote
in 2014.

Summary of Analysis
Ordinance 3061-2019 would add onsite consumption endorsement as a potential use requiring
a conditional use permit that may be compatible in the CG, IL, IH, LC, and CMU zones. Only
retail marijuana stores may obtain a permit for the use of onsite consumption endorsement as
an addition to their existing permit for a retail marijuana store. Businesses would obtain
applicable State licenses, including a license required for the onsite consumption endorsement
that is in addition to the State license for a retail marijuana store. Businesses would also follow
State regulations, including requirements for ventilation, limits on amount sold, limits on outdoor
consumption areas, and procedures for employees to safely monitor the consumption.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City staff advises the Planning and Zoning Commission to recommend approval of Ordinance No.
3056-2019 to the Kenai City Council by passing Resolution No. PZ2019-13.

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. The motion was
SECONDED by Vice Mayor Navarre who requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT: There being no objections, SO ORDERED.
The suggestion was made that the businesses suggested by those that testified during the public
hearing could be home occupations which was also a concern expressed by the Planning and
Zoning Commission when considering allowing the uses in the zone. The addition of a footnote
was suggested to speak to the requirement of a Home Occupation Permit for those uses to ensure
low impact businesses in homes.
It was suggested it was difficult to interpret what the Planning and Zoning Commission wanted;
other issues not related to a Conditional Use Permit were discussed. It was further suggested
that it was unknown what the neighbors wanted as only the one person from the zone, who wanted
a business in his home, testified.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Council Member Molloy MOVED to amend by adding footnote 31 to read, “31. Use allowed only
with a home occupation permit. The motion died for lack of a second.

that plan were implemented and we have not had a rate increase for two years. Costs split between water
and sewer are $75,000 each.
The direction this report will provide will prevent funds from being expended on lower priority items. Master
Plans should be updated every 10 years. This will provide a direction for future improvements and

Exteriors of Clarifier Tanks are raw concrete that have weathered for 40 years. Areas of concrete have
exposed aggregate, doors and frames are extremely rusted due to the salt air. This project will provide an
exterior coating to both clarifier's and pump house and replacement of exterior doors. Most of the work will
be completed by staff.
Replacement of three metal doors, frames and hardware. Patching of rough concrete areas. Application of
topcoat. This will be rolled on product and will look similar to a rough stucco. Staff will work on as work/staff
availability permits.
This is appropriate long term maintenance. It will provide a noticeable face lift to the facility where the public
will notice the property is being cared for.

The belt press was installed during the last upgrade in 1981, for the past 15 years it has remained
serviceable only by the extraordinary effort of the crew. This press is no longer in production and it has
become difficult to find replacement parts. Some parts have been fabricated to remain operational.
Add a screw press to the existing system utilizing the same sludge piping, polymer injection and drainage
system currently in place. Estimates of design and improvements would cost approximately $500.000.00.
The belt press is the last stage of wastewater treatment and a very critical component in operational control.
If for any reason this process through either a major breakdown or the possibility of a long delay in obtaining
parts our process could be compromised to the point of failing our permit.

The WWTP has four, 130,000 gallon aeration basins. Each basin is approximately 76' x 20' x12'. The basins
are 40+ years old, and they have some concrete cracking, as well as some concrete scouring at the surface
from years of the basins churning. Basins need sand blasting, epoxy fill of cracks, patching of scoured areas
and epoxy coating. Phase I will complete one of the four basins.
Completion of this work will allow the basins to continue to operate for another 30 years.

Water/Sewer: Continue with an annual $25K/year service contract for SCADA Integration split between
Water and Sewer for the next three years.
Implementation of this system will gain insight and oversight into our operational processes which will provide

Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Hilcorp Alaska, LLC, Nuka Research, Marathon Petroleum Corporation,
CIRCAC’s Environmental Monitoring Committee (EMC), State Pipeline Coordinator ’s Ex Officio, Department of Natural Resources
(DNR), City of Kenai Mayor’s Office, Crowley Alaska Tankers, Peninsula Clarion, Alaska Department of Fish and Game Ex Officio,
Cook Inletkeeper and CISPRI. Mayor Brian Gabriel welcomed the Board to Kenai and thanked the organization for its work.
DEC SPAR (Spill Prevention and Response) Director, Denise Koch, introduced herself
and her experience with the department and background in environmental
consulting. She addressed Commissioner Brune’s remarks regarding regulation
review and efficiencies, in particular a review of C-Plan regulations “with an eye
toward maintaining stringent environmental protections.” She assured the Council
that DEC would be talking with the RCACs during that process, and thanked CIRCAC
for its productive partnership. Ms. Koch spoke to the Governor’s proposed budget
for SPAR. DEC budget reductions include an economist and dairy program in
Environmental Health Division and the Ocean Ranger program. On questioning from
the Board, she addressed the impetus to remove the Ocean Ranger program, which
is supported by passenger fees, saying that the scrutiny of the industry was
disproportionate to that applied to other industries. Of concern to CIRCAC is the C -
Plan regulation review, whether there are enough DEC staff in house to conduct
such a review and what it would entail.
Public Comments
Mr. Bob Shavelson with Cook Inletkeeper spoke to the Clean Water Act and the increase in eftfuent discharges in Cook Inlet.

PRESENTATIONS
Pipeline Infrastructure Risk Assessment
Tim Robertson with Nuka Research spoke of significant progress being made with the
pipeline risk assessment project, including the nearly completed pipeline inventory and
selection of the Expert Panel. He also introduced a separate public outreach campaign to
engage stakeholders and the general public in developing strategies for pipeline safety.
Hilcorp/Harvest Projects Update
Rich Novcaski, Harvest Alaska, provided an update on the Cross Inlet Pipeline and Drifl River
Oil Terminal. Harvest has recently received RCA (Regulatory Commission of Alaska) approval
to begin decommissioning Drifl River and will work with ADEC to devise a contaminants
cleanup plan.
Environmental Field Research
CIRCAC Director of Science and Research, Susan Saupe, provided an in -depth review of
CIRCAC’s 2018 field research, including the fourth year of sampling for the Lower Cook Inlet
Habitat Assessment and Ecosystem Modeling project funded mainly by BOEM, with
contributions by CIRCAC, NPS, UAF, and NOAA. CIRCAC organized the field program for the project which was initiated in 2015 to
provide information in areas at risk from future activities associated with BOEM ’s lease sales in lower Cook Inlet. BOEM is
interested in understanding baselines and trends, as well as recommendations for future monitoring in the Inlet.
Ms. Saupe also described CIRCAC’s interest in and support of a study of water column particulate organic matter (marine snow)
and its potential role in the fate and transport of dispersed oil. Recent research has shown that marine snow can be a mechanism
for oil to reach the seafloor. Our role in the research grew out of concerns for shallow shelf areas that overlapped with propo sed
preauthorization zones for dispersant use in the western Gulf of Alaska. In 2019, CIRCAC will continue to support a graduate
student’s field work in Kachemak Bay, as well as a small pilot project on the shallow “banks” northeast of Kodiak. For more on the
Marine Snow research project, see our September 2018 e-Newsletter and 2018 Annual Report.
Seismic Surveys
In light of Hilcorp’s proposal and subsequent decision to postpone 3-D seismic surveys in Lower Cook Inlet until afler fishing
season, the board made a motion to add the topic to the agenda to discuss concerns about the potential negative impacts on Co ok
Inlet marine life.
Executive Director’s Report
The Executive Director is meeting with Alaska’s congressional
delegation and senior US Coast Guard personnel in Washington to
advocate for CIRCAC issues and for passage of Senator Sullivan ’s Spill
Response and Prevention Surety Act.
Mr. Munger announced Maddie Jamora’s transition to full-time staff
and welcomed the appointment of Denise Koch as SPAR Director, but
described Commissioner Brune’s plans to revise ADEC’s contingency
plan regulations because they are “burdensome,” as very concerning. C-
Plan review and comment is CIRCAC’s strongest avenue to influence
how industry does their business and conducts their operations. C -Plans
have gone through numerous revisions and CIRCAC supports
clarification of existing regulations and additional regulations if they
result in safer operations and environmental protection; however,
CIRCAC will reject efforts to diminish what Mr. Munger considers some
of the most robust oil spill contingency plan regulations in the United
States.
Finally, CIRCAC is putting the finishing touches on a scholarship program with Marathon Petroleum and AVTEC to address a
shortage of professional licensed mariners.

Dear Ms . He inz :

APR i 2 2019
On March 29, 2019, Trans-Foreland Pipeline Company LLC (Trans-Foreland) filed an application with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (F ERC) requesting approval of the Kenai LNG Cool Down Project (Project). The Project consists of
modifications at the existing liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Nikiski , Alaska , known as the Kenai LNG Plant. On
April 12, 2019, FER C issued a formal notice of the Project's application. The Project is subject to FERC jurisdiction under the
Natural Gas Act. FERC has assigned docket number CP19-118-000 to the Project.
T rans-Foreland owns the Kenai LNG Plant, which includes a dock and 161 .1-acre liquefaction facility, via T rans -Foreland's
subsidiary , Kenai LNG LLC . The Kena i LNG Plant includes related tanks , compressors, exchangers, equipment, and ancillary
facilities used for operation . The Kenai LNG Plant is operated by Tra ns-Fore land's affiliate, Tesoro Log istics GP, LLC . Trans-
Foreland 's proposed project includes the installation, construction and operation of a new boil-off-gas (BOG) booster
compressor unit, trim vaporizers, ancillary facilit ies, additional LNG transfer system valves , and equipment to manage the
existing BOG facilities (collectively referred to as the BOG Management System) to facilitate the import of LNG to cool down
the existing LNG storage tanks and associated LNG facil ities . The installation of the BOG Management System and coo l down
of the existing LNG facilities and LNG storage tanks will allow the Kenai LNG Plant to provide up to 7.0 million standard cubic
feet per day of natural gas to Trans-Foreland 's affiliated Kenai Refinery located adjacent to the Kenai LNG Plant. The area
designated for Project workspace is wholly within the existing Ke nai LNG Plant's fenced operating footprint of about 76 acres.
The Project facilities include:
• A skid-mounted electric powered trim LNG vaporizer ,
• A new LNG vaporizer feed pump ,
• One ele ctric drive BOG booster compressor unit with comp re sso r building ,
• Ele ctrical and control panels in a separate building ,
• New LNG transfer system side valves ,
• A new LNG circulatio n pump, and
• LNG transfer system "c an" conve rsions in the south LNG pit.
The Kenai LNG Plant is currently operating in a warm idle state . The Project will perm it Trans-Fore land to cool down the
existing LNG storage tanks and associated LNG facilities and deliver BOG generated under normal operations from the Kenai
LNG Plant to the Refinery. Trans-Foreland 's proposed addit io nal facilities to the ex isting BOG Management System at the
Plant will result in improved BOG operations and promote economic and environmental efficiency because, without such
modifications, the resulting BOG would be vented into the atmosphere or flared .
T rans-Foreland or its affiliate will apply to the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy for authorization to import LNG
before the Project enters service in 2020 . Pending regulatory approval , Trans -F oreland expects commencement of
construction in the third quarter of 2019 and the Project in-service by the fourth quarter of 2020.

SUBJECT: Amendment Memo for Ordinance 3061-2019, An Ordinance to
Incorporate Onsite Consumption of Marijuana at Retail Marijuana
Establishments into the City Of Kenai’s Code of Ordinances.
____________________________________________________________________________
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the City Council amend Ordinance
3061-2019, to restrict allowable hours of operations for onsite consumption operations. For
reference, State law prohibits the sale of alcohol between the hours of 5:00 am and 8:00 am.
In order to effectuate the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation, I recommend the
following amendments:
Add a 5th WHEREAS clause to read:
WHEREAS, to protect public health and safety, hours of operation of onsite consumption
endorsements are limited to between and ; and ,
Amend Section 2 of the Ordinance by adding a subsection (k) to 14.20.330 to read:
(k) An onsite consumption endorsement may only be operated on a daily basis between
the hours of ____and _____.
Additionally, if Council wishes to prohibit outdoor onsite consumption, Council should move to
amend Ordinance 3061-2019 as follows:
Add a 6th WHEREAS clause to read:
WHEREAS, to protect public health and safety as well as minimize conflicts between
onsite consumption and adjacent businesses, residences and the public, outdoor onsite
consumption is prohibited; and,
Page 2 of 12
Ordinance 3061-2019
Amend Section 2 of the Ordinance by amending subsection (a) of 14.20.330 to read:
(a) Commercial marijuana establishments and indoor only onsite consumption endorsements
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.

To accurately reflect that bacteria level monitoring on and around the Kenai City beaches is
conducted from May to September, not just during the personal use fishery, to specifically explain
what bacteria levels are being exceeded, and to clarify that the elevated bacteria levels are not a
result of the personal use fishery, the administration respectfully requests the following
