GENERAL INFORMATION
Segesser Surveys submitted a preliminary plat on behalf of Beaver Loop Sand and Gravel, LLC
and the Estate of Patrick J. Doyle and Mary J. Doyle. The plat affects the parcels described as
Tract A1, Beaver Loop Acres Addition No. 1, and Lot 2, Beaver Loop Acres. The preliminary plat
shows that the owner is subdividing Tract A1 and Lot 2 into Tract A2, and Lots 2A, 5, 6, 7, 8,
and 9, Beaver Loop Acres Addition No. 2. This plat was initially reviewed under Resolution
PZ2020-07 by the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission on May 13, 2020. Since that
meeting, the City requested the plat come back for a revised recommendation.
Application, Public Notice, Public Comment
KMC 14.10.010 General under Chapter 14.10 Subdivision Regulations states preliminary plats
or replats must first be submitted to the City for review prior to the submittal of the plat to the
Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Department. Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.10.060
describes the process in more detail. The plat will be reviewed first by the City of Kenai Planning
and Zoning Commission and then by the Kenai Peninsula Borough’s Plat Committee and
Planning Commission.
The applicant completed the City of Kenai preliminary plat submittal form. The City of Kenai
follows Kenai Peninsula Borough Code 20.25.070 and 20.25.080 for preliminary plat submittal
requirements.
City staff published notice of the consideration of the plat as part of the agenda for the City of
Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission in the Peninsula Clarion. No public comments have
been received as of August 7, 2020.
ANALYSIS
Access to the proposed lots is via Beaver Loop Road, which is paved and maintained by the State
of Alaska. The proposed plat does not dedicate any additional rights-of-way. City of Kenai water
and sewer lines are not available to the proposed subdivision. Property owners will have to install
a private well and a septic system following Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation
requirements. Plat note six addresses wastewater disposal. The note provides that the soil
conditions, water table levels, and soil slopes for lots five through nine have been found suitable
for conventional onsite wastewater treatment and disposal systems serving single-family or
duplex residences if regulatory requirements of the Kenai Peninsula Borough are met. Any other
type of onsite wastewater treatment and disposal system must be designed by a professional
engineer, and the design must be approved by the Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation. Any wastewater treatment or disposal system for Tract A2 of the proposed
subdivision must meet the regulatory requirements of the Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation.
A 15-foot easement for utilities is located along the southern boundary of the proposed lots. This
is denoted in plat note four, which states the front 15-feet adjacent to rights-of-way is utility
easement. The southern boundaries of the proposed lots are along right-of-way for Beaver Loop
Road, and no permanent structure shall be placed within the utility easement.
Page 10
Page 3 of 3
The parcels are within the Rural Residential (RR) Zone of the City. Plat note two states that the
subdivision is subject to City of Kenai zoning regulations.
The proposed Tract A2, Beaver Loop Acres Addition No. 2 is currently a gravel pit operated under
a City conditional use permit by Beaver Loop Sand and Gravel, LLC. It is the intention of the
property owner to reclaim the lots for the development of the proposed subdivision. The
subdivision is in alignment with the reclamation plans of Beaver Loop Sand and Gravel, LLC.
Changes to the amended plat were to designate rights-of-way for road access along the
western edge of the plat. This is an existing gravel road leading to the gravel pit. An additional
right-of-way was added between Lots 5 and 6 and a plat note was added for Lots 7 and 8 to
share a driveway in order to reduce the number of driveways directly connecting to Beaver Loop
Road.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Beaver Loop Acres Addition No. 2,
subject to the following conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local
regulations.

Resolution PZ2020-22 – Application for a Variance Permit for a building in access of 5,000.00 square
feet per story to be located on the property known as 1000 Mission Avenue, and described as Lot 16B,
Townsite of Kenai 2016 Addition, submitted by Kenaitze Indian Tribe, P.O. Box 988, Kenai, AK 99611
Page 16
STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner
DATE: August 7, 2020
SUBJECT: PZ2020-22 – Variance Permit – Commercial building over 5,000 square
feet per story
Applicant: Kenaitze Indian Tribe.
P.O Box 988
Kenai, Alaska 99611
Legal Description: Lot 16B, Townsite of Kenai 2016 Addition
Property Address: 1000 Mission Avenue
KPB Parcel No: 04707134
Lot Size: 0.73 acres (approximately 31,799 square feet)
Existing Zoning: Townsite Historic District (TSH)
Current Land Use: Tyotkas Elder Center
Land Use Plan: Mixed Use
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Kenaitze Indian Tribe would like to expand the existing restaurant and kitchen located in the
Tyotkas Elder Center. The building is located within the Townsite Historic District. (TSH Zone).
The proposed addition would exceed the total square footage per story allowed in the TSH Zone
by Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.10 (c) (4), as follows:
Commercial buildings are limited to a total area of no more than five thousand (5,000) square feet
per story. Any individual unit within the structure may be of no more than two thousand five
hundred (2,500) square feet, except that the Commission may allow a larger individual unit if it is
determined to be compatible with the zone.
Page 17
Page 2 of 3
In 2017 the Kenaitze Indian Tribe demolished the existing Tyotkas Elder Center because it was
deemed structurally unsound and unsafe to occupy. A building permit was issued to the Kenaitze
Indian Tribe to construct an approximately 6,500 square foot mixed use commercial building. The
building is currently used as social hall (approximately 4,900 square feet) with an approximately
1,600 square foot kitchen, food preparation area and restaurant. A Variance Permit was granted
by the Planning and Zoning Commission to construct an approximately 6,500 square foot building
which exceeded the 5,000 square foot per story allowance.
The addition to the Tyotkas Elder Center will increase the square footage of the building by
approximately 1,619 square foot. The dining area will be increased by approximately 1,045 square
feet, the kitchen area by approximately 404 square feet, and the salad preparation area by
approximately 170 square feet. The purpose of this addition is to allow additional space in the
dining area to accommodate the social distancing mandates of COVID-19. A Variance Permit
must be granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission before this proposed addition may be
constructed.
Application, Public Notice, Public Comment
City staff received a complete application for a Variance Permit. Pursuant to Kenai Municipal
Code 14.20.280(c) notices of the public hearing were mailed to property owners within a three
hundred-foot (300’) periphery of the subject property. City staff published notice of the public
hearing in the Peninsula Clarion. The applicant submitted an Affidavit of Posting verifying a sign
was placed on the parcel with information on the public hearing for the maximum lot coverage
variance request.
ANALYSIS
KMC 14.20.180 details the intent, application, and review criteria for a variance permit. The
Commission shall establish a finding that all of the following conditions exist as a prerequisite to
issuance of a variance permit:
1. Special conditions or circumstances are present which are peculiar to the land or structures
involved which are not applicable to other lands or structures in the same zoning district.
This property has been used as an Elder Center for many years by the Kenaitze Indian
Tribe. It is not feasible to construct a two-story building because it would not functionally
service the needs of the tribal elders. The desired addition is to the dining hall and it is not
possible expand to another story. The addition would meet all City setback requirements.
2. The special conditions or circumstances have not been caused by actions of the applicant
and such conditions and circumstances do not merely constitute a pecuniary hardship or
inconvenience.
The size of the building is necessary to accommodate the needs of the largely senior
population that is visiting the facility. The request does not merely constitute a pecuniary
hardship or inconvenience. The additional space in the dining room will also meet the need
for additional spacing during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Page 3 of 3
3. The granting of the variance shall not authorize a use that is not a permitted principal use in
the zoning district in which the property is located.
The social hall portion of the building is a permitted use. The dining area and kitchen are
classified as a restaurant, which is a conditional use in the TSH District. The Planning &
Zoning Commission previously granted a Conditional Use Permit (PZ15-04) for the
restaurant. The Kenaitze Indian Tribe are in compliance with the conditions of the
Conditional Use Permit.
4. The granting of a variance shall be the minimum variance that will provide for the reasonable
use of the land and/or structure.
When the initial building was constructed, the Kenaitze Indian Tribe worked with a team of
dedicated architects to determine the minimum size for the building that will accommodate
all the various services, the Kenaitze Indian Tribe wanted to offer to their elders, including,
a kitchen, dining area, library, and conference/craft area.
5. The granting of a variance shall not be based upon other non-conforming land uses or
structures within the same land use or zoning district.
The requested variance is not based on other non-conforming land uses or structures in the
same zoning district.
City staff finds the applicant meets the criteria for issuance of a variance permit in accordance
with KMC 14.20.180, Variance permits, and recommends that the Planning and Zoning
Commission approve the variance permit application, subject to the following conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and
local regulations.
2. Prior to commencement of construction of the addition to the Elder Center, the owner
shall be require to obtain a Building Permit.
3. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit for the proposed additions to the Tyotkas Elder
Center, a Landscape/Site plan must be reviewed and approved by the City Planner.

The Tribe plans to construct building additions totaling 1,543 square feet and a patio totaling 626 square feet. Once completed
the total square feet of the building will be 8,065 with a 626 square feet patio. The City of Kenai Zoning Code for the Townsite
Historic (TSH) District limits the size of a commercial building to no more than 5,000 square feet per story, except that larger
buildings may be allowed if they are compatible with the zone. Therefore, the owner is applying for this variance permit.
Page 24
Explain the special conditions or circumstances present which are peculiar to the land or structure involved which
are not applicable to other land or structures in the same land use or zoning district
The Kenaitze Indian Tribe has operated an Elders Center for many years at this site. In 2015 the Tribe applied for
and received a variance to construct a new 6,522 square feet building. This application, if approved, will allow
two new building additions that will expand the footprint of the existing building by 1,543 square feet and a patio
totaling 626 square feet to allow for expanded services/space now required due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Explain the special conditions or circumstances present that have not been caused by actions of the applicant and
such conditions and circumstances do not merely constitute pecuniary (monetary) hardship or inconvenience:
The Kenaitze Indian Tribe hired a professional architectural firm to Identify ways we could address issues with the lack of social distancing and issues with the
kitchen space, limiting our ability to provide meal deliveries and dining services. The firm identified two locations that would Increase kitchen space for food
preparations by 440 square feet and expand the dining area with an addition totaling 1,103 square feel and a patio totaling 626 square feet. The dining expansion
will add both indoor and outdoor space to provide adequate physical distancing when the Tribe returns to in-facility dining services. The meal delivery service
provides the at-risk population we serve with a nutritional meal and is intended to continue to support the population that cannot attend the gatherings once the
building reopens.
Explain how this variance will not authorize a use that is not a permitted principal use in the zoning district in which
the property is located:
The Kenaitze Indian Tribe is not changing the use of the building and has previously received a
conditional use permit, which was required for restaurant-type establishments within this district.
Explain how the variance shall be the minimum variance that will provide for the reasonable use of the land and/or
structure:
If the variance is not granted, the Tribe will not be able to meet the demands to provide hand-delivered
meal services and will not be able to continue to operate the facility as intended due to the COVID-19
pandemic once it continues in-facility services.
Explain how the granting of a variance shall not be based upon other noncoforming land uses or structures within
the same land use or zoning district:
The Kenaitze Indian Tribe is not seeking the square footage variance based on the nonconforming uses of
other structures in this district. The proposed additions are based on a direct need to address issues with
social distancing and services due to the COVID-19 pandemic for our Elders and Vulnerable adults
participating in our services.
AUTHORITY TO APPLY FOR A VARIANCE:
I hereby certify that (I am) (I have been authorized to act for) owner of the property described above and that I
petition for a variance permit in conformance with Title 14 of the Kenai Municipal Code. I understand that payment
of the application fee is nonrefundable and is to cover the costs associated with processing this application, and
that it does not assure approval of the variance. I also understand that assigned hearing dates are tentative and
may have to be postponed by Planning Department staff of the Planning and Zoning Commission for administrative
reasons. I understand that a site visit may be required to process this application. City of Kenai personnel are
authorized to access the abn -referenced pro~erty :or the purp ~f processing this application.

DATE: August 7, 2020
SUBJECT: PZ2020-23 – Review of Development in Townsite Historic District
Applicant: Kenaitze Indian Tribe.
P.O Box 988
Kenai, Alaska 99611
Legal Description: Lot 16B, Townsite of Kenai 2016 Addition
Property Address: 1000 Mission Avenue
KPB Parcel No: 04707134
Lot Size: 0.73 acres (approximately 31,799 square feet)
Existing Zoning: Townsite Historic District (TSH)
Current Land Use: Tyotkas Elder Center
Land Use Plan: Mixed Use
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Kenaitze Indian Tribe has submitted an application to construct an addition to the existing
Tyotkas Elder Center. The existing structure is an approximately 6,500-square-foot mixed use
commercial building consisting of common areas, including a library, craft area, and office space.
In addition, the building contains a commercial grade kitchen area for the preparation of meals
and a dining area to serve lunch for tribal members and their guests. According to the application
submitted, the dining area will be increased by approximately 1,045 square feet, the kitchen area
by approximately 404 square feet, and the salad preparation area by approximately 170 square
feet. The property is located within the Townsite Historic District (TSH Zone) and the development
is subject to a review of development by the Planning and Zoning Commission for consistency
with the TSH Zone.
Page 36
Page 2 of 3
The intent of the Townsite Historic (TSH) Zoning District is to preserve the historic nature of Old
Town Kenai and to encourage development that is compatible with the historic character of the
TSH zone. The existing building is constructed in a similar architectural style to that of the
Dena`ina Wellness Medical Center which is located adjacent to the subject parcel and is also
owned by the Kenaitze Indian Tribe.
ANALYSIS
KMC 14.20.105(h) requires the Planning and Zoning Commission review all building permit
applications for properties included in the Historic Preservation Plan. During the 1995 “Kenai
Townsite Historic Survey Report” (Report) the subject parcel was issued Alaska Heritage
Resource (AHRS) #KEN-274. The Alaska Heritage Resources Survey (AHRS) is an inventory of
all reported historic and prehistoric sites within the State of Alaska and is maintained by the Office
of History and Archaeology. This inventory of cultural resources includes objects, structures,
buildings, sites, districts, and travel ways, with a general provision that they are over 50 years old.
According to the Report the subject building was labeled as the Pharmacy/Jahrig Electric
Company. It is discussed within the report that the subject parcel has had a varied history with
multiple changes to the building in its present location. It is thought that the building was an old
Northwestern Cannery building (construction date unknown). However, it was moved up the Inlet
by boat and winched up the bluff in the late 1940’s or 1950’s. The report further states the original
design of the building is not known as it has had many alterations at its current location on the
subject parcel. In the 1950’s a shed-roofed addition was added to the rear elevation of the
building. The subject building was remodeled again in the 1970’s when building wings and a
basement were added. In 1995, a renovation took place. In 2011 the Planning and Zoning
Commission approved PZ11-39 which authorized the issuance of an after the fact Building Permit
for a covered canopy over an existing disability access ramp. Given the modifications to the
subject building over the years and as noted in the Report, the former Pharmacy/Jahrig Electric
Company building has lost its historic integrity due to the many modifications it has received. The
building is no longer eligible for consideration on the Alaska Heritage Resources Inventory. The
demolition of the original Tyotkas Elder Center building and construction of the existing build is
not in violation of the National Historic Preservation Act or the Archaeological Resources
Protection Act.
Development criteria within the TSH Zoning District are detailed in KMC 14.20.105(c).
KMC 14.20.105(c)(1) Encourage, whenever possible and compatible with historic character of the
TSH zone, foot traffic; restaurants, gift shops, parks, etc.; indigenous Kenai Peninsula flora;
wooden structures including log style with soft colored or natural sidings.
The addition to the building would use the same materials as the existing structure. The existing
structure was reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission for development criteria within the
TSH District before it was initially built. Landscaping for the structure would incorporate the natural
landscape by drawing inspiration from the nearby beach. Sufficient parking is available already
with a Permit granted for an off-site parking lot to accommodate Kenaitze Tribe buildings in Old
Town Kenai. The continued use of the building as an Elders Center is not expected to draw
additional traffic to the area.
Page 37
Page 3 of 3
KMC 14.20.105(c)(2) Discourage uses which will violate the historic and scenic quality of the TSH
zone; buildings and building additions that are not compatible with adjacent buildings or which
violate the existing character and scale of the district.
The addition to the building would use the same materials as the existing structure, which already
were found to meet the development requirements of the TSH Zone. The addition will not expand
the structure such that it will be out of scale with its surroundings.
KMC 14.20.105(c)(3) Specific structures and activities which will not be allowed, but are not
limited to: (a) Buildings with “modern design style of architecture” that have no historical
correlation with the district; (b) Gas stations; (c) Auto repair shops; (d) Kennels or similar uses;
(e) Livestock, stables, commercial horseback riding; (f) Auto body and paint shops
None of these uses or structures will be created by the proposed building addition.
KMC 14.20.105(c)(4) Commercial buildings are limited to a total area of no more than five
thousand (5,000) square feet per story. Any individual unit within the structure may be of no more
than two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet, except that the Commission may allow a
larger individual unit if it is determined to be compatible with the zone.
The applicant previously obtained a Variance Permit to construct a structure with more than 5,000
square feet per story. The applicant has submitted a new Variance Permit to modify the square
footage per story approved by the City.
KMC 14.20.105(c)(5) Metal-sided buildings may be allowed if the Commission determines they
are compatible with the zone.
Not applicable; the building will follow the materials used in the existing structure.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Staff recommend that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve
of the proposed addition as meeting requirements of the Townsite Historic District development
review, subject to the following conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and
local regulations.
2. Prior to commencement of construction of the addition to the Elder Center, the owner
shall be required to obtain all appropriate Building Permits.
3. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit for the proposed additions to the Tyotkas Elder
Center, a Landscape/Site plan must be reviewed and approved by the City Planner.

Hi,
Here is what we found in our records for parking as a reference.

Subject: Kenaitze Facilities - Parking
Elizabeth,
I have reviewed the files for the Kenaitze Indian Tribe to ascertain the current parking requirements,
as follows:
Dena-ina Wellness Center (508 Upland St.) The parking requirements were based on a 52,000 sq. ft
medical/dental building – 52,000 divided by 250 – 208 spaces. Since this was a multi-use facility the
25% reduction was given; therefore, a total of 156 spaces were required. There are 139 spaces and
there was a an Easement for Snow Storage, Parking and Right-of-way executed by the Kenaitze
Indian Tribe to allow patrons of the Dena’ina Wellnewss Center to park at the Tyotkas Elder Center
(22 spaces); therefore, the parking requirements were met. This agreement was revoked in 2015,
when the overflow parking lot was developed.
The Tyotkas Elder Center (1000 Mission Ave.) was demolished and rebuilt in 2016. The parking
requirements for that site was 19 spaces based on assembly without fixed seats for 4,900 s.f divided
by 500 = 10 spaces; and 1600 s. f. (restaurant divided by 200 = 8 spaces. There were 19 spaces
shown on the site plan so the parking requirements were met.
Th Na’ina Building (510 Upland Street) is a professional office building – 9,037 s. f. divided by 400 =
23 spaces. Site plan shows 21 spaces (including the two spaces for the driveway). They are 2 spaces
short to meet parking requirements.
The Tribal Court Building (508 Upland Street). It is on the same parcel as the Wellness Center is 9
spaces (5 spaces for courtroom plus 1 per 400 s. f. of office space = 4 spaces). There was a notation
Page 48
on the staff report for the overflow parking lot that patrons were currently parking in the spaces
adjacent to the sidewalk (parking for Dana’ine Center). Nine spaces in the overflow parking lot would
compensate for the loss of the nine spaces at the Dena’ina Wellness Center
Greenhouse located at 513 Overland Avenue. This a private greenhouse to be used by the Kenaitze
Tribe to facilitate programs the tribe offers (i.e. Elder’s Wellness Initiative, Diabetes Prevention, and
Early Childcare Development). It will not be open to the public. No parking requirements.
The overflow parking lot provides for 38 spaces. A breakdown for the spaces that the Kenaitze are
lacking is: Dena’ini Wellness Center – 17; Na’ina Building – 2; Tribal Court Building – 9 spaces = 28
spaces total. There would be 10 spaces available in the overflow parking lot to compensate for
additional parking spaces if the Tyotkas Elder Center is enlarged. Also, as we discussed, a Variance
was granted by the Planning & Zoning Commission, Resolution 15-4 because the building was larger
than the maximum square footage of 5,000 s. f. in the TSH zone.
I did not review the entire file for these buildings. I just reviewed the staff reports and site plants. If
you need me to dig deeper, let me know.
Hopefully this is not clear as mud. Let me know if you have any questions.

TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner
DATE: August 7, 2020
SUBJECT: PZ2020-24 – Amendment to Conditional Use Permit Granted by PZ15-04
Applicant: Kenaitze Indian Tribe
P.O Box 988
Kenai, Alaska 99611
Legal Description: Lot 16B, Townsite of Kenai 2016 Addition
Property Address: 1000 Mission Avenue
KPB Parcel No: 04707134
Lot Size: 0.73 acres (approximately 31,799 square feet)
Existing Zoning: Townsite Historic District (TSH)
Current Land Use: Tyotkas Elder Center
Land Use Plan: Mixed Use
GENERAL INFORMATION
On April 22, 2015, a Conditional Use Permit was granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission
for a social hall with a dining facility, community area, library, conference/craft area, and office
areas to serve as the Tyotkas Elder Center. The permit title includes a specific reference to a
6,500 square-foot facility. Since the facility is being expanded, the Kenai Indian Tribe has
requested an amendment to their Conditional Use Permit to reflect the news square footage of
the facility. According to the information provided in the application for a Variance Permit, the
existing footprint of the building would be increased by 1,543 square feet. A patio of 626 square
feet would also be added to the facility.
The original Resolution No. PZ15-04 for the Tyotkas Elder Center granted a Conditional Use
Permit, Variance, and Townsite Historic District review all on the same resolution. Granting of
Page 51
Page 2 of 4
Resolution No. PZ2020-24 would separate out the permits and tie just the amended Conditional
Use Permit to one resolution. The use is not changing; only the square footage of the building is
increasing. The extra space will allow for increased space between people desired due to the
COVID-19 public health emergency.
ANALYSIS
Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150(h) Conditional use permits, Modification of final approval
KMC 14.20.150 contains review criteria for conditional use permits. The requested removal of the
square footage of the building (6,500 square feet) is evaluated against these criteria as follows:
KMC 14.20.150(d)(1) The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the
purposes and intent of the zoning district;
The subject parcel is within the Townsite Historic District (TSH) District. KMC 14.20.120
outlines the intent of the TSH zone to provide for a mixed, controlled use in a designated
area, which will protect and enhance the historic character of the zone. The goal of the
TSH zone is to manage all new development, reconstruction and alterations within the
zone. A Conditional Use Permit was required for the proposed project because the
building is a mixed use facility containing a commercial kitchen and used to serve meals
in a restaurant-type setting. The Tyotkas Elder Center also provides a place for the
Kenaitze Tribe to gather for social and cultural events and the original permit noted a
community area, library, and conference/craft area. These mixed uses align with the intent
of the TSH Zone. The addition to the building will use similar materials as the existing
building and the materials are compatible with the historic character of the TSH Zone. A
separate TSH District review is being pursued by the applicant.
KMC 14.20.150(d)(2) The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be
significantly impaired;
The Tyotkas Elder Center has been an integral part of the Old Town Kenai for decades.
The current building was constructed in 2015 after the previous the building was deemed
unstable and unsafe to occupy. The Kenaitze Tribe demolished the building and
constructed an approximately 6,500 square foot building. The addition will meet required
setbacks of the City and will increase the size of the dining hall, kitchen, and add a patio.
The additional square footage will be added to match the existing building and will not
stand out from the rest of the existing building. A separate Variance Permit for the square
footage of the building is being pursued by the applicant.
KMC 14.20.150(d)(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
The 2016 Envision Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan describes commercial development
along with offices, institutional uses, and residences as being desirable in the Townsite
Historic District. The mixed use of the Tyotkas Elder Center fits with this intention for the
Townsite Historic District. The development is also consistent with goals of the
Comprehensive Plan, including Goal 1 – Quality of Life that has an objective to foster a
compact, intensive mix of private and public uses in the downtown core area.
Page 52
Page 3 of 4
KMC 14.20.150(d)(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed
use;
The site is served by City water and sewer, natural gas, electric, and telephone. The site
is accessed by paved and City-maintained streets. Public services are adequate to serve
the proposed use.
KMC 14.150(d)(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare;
The Tyotkas Elder Center provides a public health benefit by supporting the health and
welfare of the elderly members of the Kenaitze Tribe in the City of Kenai. The proposed
use will not be harmful to the public safety, health, or welfare.
KMC 14.150(d)(6) Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Commission
to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions should be met by the applicant. These may
include, but are not limited to, measures relative to access, screening, site development,
building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the proposed
use.
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and
local regulations.
2. Prior to commencement of construction of the addition to the Elder Center, the owner
shall be required to obtain all appropriate Building Permits.
3. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit for the proposed additions to the Tyotkas Elder
Center, a Landscape/Site plan must be reviewed and approved by the City Planner.
4. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit for the proposed additions to the Tyotkas Elder
Center, a site plan must be submitted to verify that the building is in compliance with
the building set back requirements along Mission Avenue and Upland Street.
5. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit for the proposed additions to the Tyotkas Elder
Center, the applicant must obtain a new variance and Townsite Historic District
approval from the City of Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission to reflect the new
square footage of the building.
RECOMMENDATION
City Administration recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission approve of the amendment
to the Conditional Use Permit approved through Resolution No. PZ2015-24 subject to the
conditions outlined in Resolution No. PZ2020-24. A reference to the exact square footage, a
Variance Permit, and a Townsite Historic District review is not necessary in the Conditional Use
Permit title as there are separate resolutions to address the square footage of the building
allowed with a Variance Permit and the Townsite Historic District review.

3. Action/Approval – Recommendation to City Council for an Application for a Forty-Five (45) year Lease
of City-owned Land Within the Airport Reserve described as Lot 5, FBO Subdivision No. 8 located at 525
N. Willow Street. The application was submitted by Alaska Air Fuel, Inc., 3700 W. Aviation Ave., Wasilla,
AK 99654
Page 68
MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner
DATE: August 7, 2020
SUBJECT: Application from Alaska Air Fuel for a portion of Lot 5, FBO Subd. No.
8 located at 525 N. Willow St. within the Airport Reserve
Alaska Air Fuel submitted an application to the City for a Lease of Airport Reserve Lands for the
property described as Lot 5, FBO Subdivision No. 8 located at 525 N. Willow St. The Kenai
Peninsula Borough parcel number is 04336043. The application requests a term of 45 years, with
an investment value clarified by email of $1 million dollars. Pursuant to the term table in Kenai
Municipal Code (KMC) 21.10.080 (b), the City and the applicant are in agreement to a term of 45
years. Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 21.10.075 – Leasing and Acquisition of Airport Reserve
Lands, Competing Applications, the City posted notice of the lease application and has not
received a competing lease application for the parcel.
The applicant states that the use of the premises will be FBO with hangar and office. The
applicant’s initial stated uses also included crew quarters and a coffee shop, but these uses were
deleted from the application after discussion with the City. Alaska Air Fuel would not like to lease
a portion of the entire parcel and subdivision must be completed prior to a lease document being
signed. Alaska Air Fuel would need to comply with Airport fencing requirements and parking. Their
site plan shows an approximation of the fence location and notes that additional parking spaces
would need to be added into the design prior to obtaining a building permit.
The parcel is within the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone per Kenai Municipal Code (KMC)
14.20.065. The intent of the ALI Zone is to protect the viability of the Kenai Municipal Airport as a
significant resource to the community by encouraging compatible land uses and reducing hazards
that may endanger the lives and property of the public and aviation users. The proposed uses by
Alaska Air Fuel are permitted and compatible uses in the ALI Zone.
The proposed use by Alaska Air Fuel complies with the 2016 Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive
Plan. It supports Goal 5-Transportation, which has a vision for Kenai Municipal Airport as a
gateway to the Kenai Peninsula and West Cook Inlet.
Does the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend the City approve a lease
application from Alaska Air Fuel for Lot 5, FBO Subdivision for the use of FBO Hangar and
office for a term of 45 years? The Kenai City Council will be notified of the Planning and Zoning
Commission’s decision as part of their evaluation of the lease application. The Planning and
Page 69
Page 2 of 2
Zoning Commission makes their decision on lease applications based on the proposed
development’s compliance with City’s Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code. The Airport
Commission will also review the application and provide a recommendation to City Council.
Compliance Note: Alaska Air Fuel did not obtain a notarized signature for their existing Special
Use Permit at Kenai Municipal Airport. Until a notarized signature is obtained, the lease
application will not be brought before City Council for a decision.
Thank you for your consideration.
