Action/Approval - Application for Four-Year Lease Renewal of City-Owned Land Within the Airport
Reserve described as Lot 4, Block 1, F.B.O. Subdivision and located at 411 North Willow Street. The
application was submitted by CPD Alaska, LLC, 201 Arctic Slope Ave. Anchorage, AK 99518.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner
DATE: June 18, 2020
SUBJECT: Recommendation for Four-Year Lease Renewal for Lot 4, Bl. 1, F.B.O.
CPD Alaska, LLC (Crowley), submitted an application to the City requesting a renewal of their
Lease of Airport Reserve Lands for the property described as Lot 4, Block 1, F.B.O. Subdivision.
The property is located at 411 North Willow Street, Kenai, AK 99611, and the Kenai Peninsula
Borough parcel number is 04336018. 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 on May 28, 2020 and will accept competing lease applications for the parcel for 30
days (through June 26, 2020).
Pursuant to the term table in Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 21.10.080(b) and a professional
estimate of the remaining useful life of the principal improvements on the property meeting
requirements of a lease renewal of an expiring lease in KMC 21.10.070(d)(2), the applicant
qualifies for a lease term of four years. The applicant had initially requested a lease term of 45
years to reflect expected investment in 2024. Municipal Code requires improvements be
completed within 2 years of the signing of the lease, or up to a maximum time period of 3 years
with approval for good cause. Since the expected investment is 4 years away and the remaining
useful life of one of the principal improvements on the property is estimated to be 4 years, the
lessee agreed to request a lease term of 4 years with plans to request a 45 year extension once
timing is such that additional investment can be taken into account in the term table
This renewal will convert the lessee to the City’s new standard lease form. The uses allowed on
the current lease would remain the same; the uses are the following: fuel storage and aircraft
service. The applicant is current on rent payments and obligations to the City.
The parcel is within the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone. 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 continued use by the applicant is a
permitted use in the ALI Zone and is a compatible land use. The lessee provides necessary fuel
supplies to the City.
The proposed use by the applicant complies with the 2016 Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive
Plan. It supports Goal 5-Transportation, which has a vision for Kenai Municipal Airport as a
Page 11
Page 2 of 2
gateway to the Kenai Peninsula and West Cook Inlet. The proposed use also supports Goal 3-
Economic Development to support the fiscal health of the City of Kenai.
Does the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend the City approve a 4-year lease
renewal application from Kenai Aviation Services, Inc. d/b/a Aviation Services for Lot 4,
Block 1, F.B.O. Subdivision for the use of fuel storage and aircraft storage?
The Kenai City Council will be notified of the Planning and Zoning Commission’s decision as part
of their evaluation of the lease renewal application. The Planning and 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 also reviewed this application at their meeting on June 11, 2020. The
Airport Commission makes their decisions on lease applications based on the proposed
development’s compliance with the Airport Land Use Plan, Airport Layout Plan, Federal Aviation
Administration regulations, Airport Master Plan, Airport Improvement Program grant assurances,
and Airport operations. The Airport Commission recommended approval of the application and
City Council will also be notified of the recommendation from the Airport Commission.
Thank you for your consideration.
