DISCUSSION:
The Kenai Advisory Planning & Zoning Commission has received a petition

several valid methods which can be used to initiate an amendment to the
Official Zoning Map as provided in the Kenai Zoning Code.

Page 2
The attached map defines the area to be rezoned. There are 50 parcels
within the area, involving 45 different owners. The rezoning petition was
signed by 30 individual property owners exceeding the required 51% of
property owners required.
All property involved is either currently served by City water A sewer or
are adjacent to service: and therefore eligible for hookup. A large portion
of the area under coneideration is owned by the Borough and is not
developed, however, appears to be under use by the high school and because
of its desirable location has a potential for development.
Certified letters announcing the Planning Commission and Council public
hearing have been sent to all record property owners within the petition
area. This rezoning petition involves a major district boundary and
therefore no property owners beyond the requested area were notified
individually. (KMC 14.20.290-c)
11 STAFF COMMENTS
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the petition on September
llth. As a result of that hearing, the Commission changed the original
petition from RS-1 to RS-2. The major distinction between the two zone -
classifications is lot sizes
RS-1 = 12,500 sq. ft
RS-2 = 7,200 sq. ft.
Both zoning districts allow up to a duplex.
The petitioners at the hearing agreed to the change from RS-1 to RS-2 by a
show of hands.
The Council has three alternatives in considering this rezoning petition:
1) Approval of the RS-2 zoning for the entirety of the petitioned area;
2) Modification of the rezoning boundary as submitted;
3) Rejection of the RS-2 zoning proposal.
