GENERAL INFORMATION
Cliff Baker, Surveyor, submitted a preliminary plat application for the proposed preliminary plat of
Integrity Plaza II. Mr. Baker is also the property owner. The plat affects the parcels described as
Tract A, and Lot 1, Integrity Plaza.
The property owner has submitted a plat to revert to acreage and combine Tract A, and Lot 1,
Integrity Plaza. This plat will vacate the property lines between Tract A and Lot 1 and create a
larger tract described as Tract A1, Integrity Plaza II. Tract A1, Integrity Plaza II will be
approximately 2.19 acres (approximately 95,396 square feet).
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 property owners 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 December 3, 2020.
ANALYSIS
The proposed Tract A1, Integrity Plaza II is bordered on the North by the Kenai Spur Highway
which is paved and maintained by the State of Alaska. The East boundary of Tract A1, Integrity
Plaza 11 is adjacent to Swires Road which is paved and maintained by the City of Kenai. The
professional office building located on Tract A, Integrity Plaza is accessed via the Kenai Spur
Highway and access to the single-family dwelling located on Lot 1, Integrity Plaza is via Swires
Road. Plat Note number two (2) provides that no direct access to state-maintained rights-of-way
is permitted unless approved by the State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public
Facilities, which would apply to any access from the Kenai Spur Highway.
There is a structure located on the Northeast corner of the proposed Tract A1 which at one time
was a single-family dwelling; however, it has not been used as a single-family dwelling for a
number of years. The property owner states that he uses it as a storage building. The Kenai
Peninsula Borough classifies this structure as a shed (accessory structure).
The structure located on Lot 1, Integrity Plaza is classified by the Kenai Peninsula as a single-
family dwelling. The property owner states that dwelling is unoccupied and he does not have any
plans to occupy the dwelling. The structure located on the lot is a non-conforming structure
pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.050(a)(2) because it does not meet the minimum lot size
requirement for development. The removal of the lot line and incorporation into Tract A1, Integrity
Plaza II will eliminate this non-conformity. The property owner has stated that it is his intent to
Page 12
Page 3 of 3
demolish the single family dwelling and shed within the next couple of years when he further
develops, Tract A1, Integrity Plaza II.
Water and sewer services are available. The professional office building located on Tract A,
Integrity Plaza is currently connected to City water and sewer services. Water service to Lot 1,
Integrity Plaza has been discontinued since the property is unoccupied. An installation agreement
is not required.
A large portion of Tract A, Integrity Plaza is zoned as General Commercial and the southern
portion (South of Lot 1, Integrity Plaza) is zoned as Suburban Residential. The property owner
has indicated that it is his intent to request that Tract A1, Integrity Plaza II be rezoned to General
Commercial prior to further development of Tract A1, Integrity Plaza II.
The preliminary plat meets requirements of KMC Subdivision design standards and KMC
14.10.080 Minimum improvements required under Chapter 14.10 Subdivision Regulations. City
staff recommends a condition of approval for the property to conform to all federal, State of Alaska,
and local regulations.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Integrity Plaza II, subject to the following
conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local
regulations.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. PZ2020-35
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI
GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR TWO, TWO UNIT TOWNHOUSES AND ONE
THREE UNIT TOWNHOUSE.
APPLICANT: Kenai Landing, Inc.
REPRESENTATIVE: Jonathan Faulkner and Steve Agni
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 2101 Bowpicker Lane
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tract A, Kenai Landing Cottages 049-101-23; 049-101-23C012
KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH PARCEL NUMBER: 049-101-23; 049-101-23C012
WHEREAS, a complete application meeting the requirements of Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150
was submitted to the City on October 28, 2020 along with additional supplemental information
submitted at later dates; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant has demonstrated with plans and other documents that the
prerequisites of a Conditional Use Permit have been met pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.150; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a duly advertised
public hearing on December 9, 2020, following requirements outlined in Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.280 for public hearings and notifications; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds:
1. 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;
Criteria Met: The proposed townhouses meet the intent of KMC14.20.150 and the intent of the IH
Zone with respect to the proposed use, given compliance with the staff recommended specific
conditions set forth in KMC 14.20.160. The use is compatible with the designated principal uses
in the IH zone given that this is a commercial condominium association on a 50 acre tract and
neighboring unit developments are compatible. The IH Zone is intended to provide for a broad
range of industrial and commercially uses. Conditional uses may be allowed as provided in the
land use table, which townhouses are one of the allowed conditional uses. The proposed
conditional use is compatible with adjacent uses on the 50 acre tract, specifically including the
Cannery Lodge. Additionally, the large tract is controlled by the condominium association which
can control adjacent uses which may otherwise be problematic in the IH zone.
Page 18
Resolution No. PZ2020-35
Page 2 of 6
2. KMC 14.20.150(d)(2) The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be
significantly impaired;
Criteria Met. The surrounding uses on Tract A include the Cannery Lodge, and harbor and
cannery facilities. The adjoining property and neighborhood value will not be negatively impaired
by the development of 7 townhouses in the area.
3. KMC 14.20.150(d)(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
Criteria Met. The construction of townhouses in this area meets goals 1, 2 and 3 of the
comprehensive plan by promoting and encouraging quality of life in Kenai, providing economic
development elements to support fiscal health, and using land use strategies to implement a
forward looking approach to community growth. The proposed townhouses will provide an
opportunity for new residents and visitors to stay in Kenai, supporting economic development. As
industrial uses of this area have diminished with the removal of aging cannery infrastructure,
taking advantage of the waterfront location for townhouse development, like the development of
the Cannery Lodge, supports community growth and development.
The Comprehensive Plan provides that existing industrial uses in Kenai total 850 acres, with
another 320 acres of vacant industrial land. The current economic outlook does not indicate a
demand for large industrial sites in the near future according to the Plan. The Plan notes that the
decline in commercial fishing has affected operations of some fish processing plants. It appears
there is sufficient industrial land in the City to accommodate a transition to residential uses in this
area. Further, redevelopment of this area, consistent with the Cannery Lodge use, will not unduly
restrict opportunities for future industrial land uses. Like the Cannery Lodge, it appears this
development is compatible with the historic marine industrial use of the area
4. KMC 14.20.150(d)(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed
use;
Criteria Met. Public and private services are adequate to serve this proposed 7 unit townhouse
development. The location of these townhouses is the same as the location of the former Sockeye
Restaurant and Event Facility that was permitted by DEC to serve hundreds of customers a day.
The applicant provides that infrastructure including water, waste, gas, electric, phone, and ingress
and egress are all available. Kenai Landing’s waste water plant is permitted to receive 12,000
gallons of water per day according to the applicant.
Tract A is within a commercial condominium association that provides road maintenance,
management and landscaping services to unit owners. The City provides emergency medical, fire
and police response to the area. Both the Police Chief and Fire Chief believe adequate services
can be provided to the area to accommodate the 7 unit townhouse development. Public road
maintenance is provided to the property line
5. KMC 14.150(d)(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare;
Criteria Met. The development of 7 townhouse units in this area does not appear to jeopardize
the health, safety or welfare of our community. The development should attract residents and
visitors to the area in small numbers. With adequate police, fire and emergency medical response
available, along with water and waste water, health, safety and welfare should not be impacted.
Page 19
Resolution No. PZ2020-35
Page 3 of 6
6. 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.
See Conditions of Approval as set forth in Section 2 below.

See finding 4 above.
3. Health, Safety and Welfare will not be jeopardized by the proposed development.
See finding 5 above.
4. Standards for townhouse development are satisfied as required in this section.
a. The proposed development shall meet the applicable processing conditions specified
in the conditional use permit section.
This requirement is met.
b. A detailed development plan shall be submitted including a site plan drawn to scale. The
site plan shall include, but shall not be limited to, the topography and drainage of the
proposed site, the location of all buildings and structures on the site, courts, and open
space areas, circulation patterns, ingress and egress points, parking areas (including the
total number of parking spaces provided), and a general floor plan of the principal
buildings, together with such information as the Commission shall require;
The applicant has submitted a site plan to include two, two unit townhouses and
one three unit townhouse. The material submitted by the Kenai Landing includes
topography and drainage of the area with a plan to direct drainage to a ten acre
on-site wetlands to the West Northwest of the development area. General plans
submitted include the location of the proposed buildings, open areas, circulation
patterns, ingress and egress points, the units will have garages for parking, and
general floor plans options are provided. The commission may request Kenai
Landing to provide updated documents as they become available.
c. Not more than six (6) contiguous townhouses shall be built in a row with the same or
approximately the same front line and not more than twelve (12) townhouses shall be
contiguous.
Page 20
Resolution No. PZ2020-35
Page 4 of 6
Kenai Landing is only proposing to build 2 and 3 contiguous townhouses in this
phase of the project.
d. Separation requirement: One series of townhouses shall not be located closer than fifteen
feet (15') to another series of townhouses or any accessory structure within the townhouse
developm ent.
The proposed townhouse series will not be closer than 15 feet to each other.
e. Minimum lot width for an individual townhouse is twenty-four feet (24').
The development will meet this requirement. Meeting this width criteria will be
required nonetheless as the project is developed and the applicant is aware of this
requirement.

subject to the following:
(A) The total building coverage in the R, RR, RR1, RS, RS1, RS2, RU, and TSH

The total building coverage in the IL, IH, CC, and CG zones shall be determined by
the Uniform Building Code as adopted by KMC 4.05.010. (Ord. 1767-97)
(B) The lot area may include a portion of the undivided common area.
Kenai Landing indicates it will meet the minimum lot area and building
coverage. Because this is in the IH zone, the building inspector will determine
the total building coverage based on the Uniform Building Code. Meeting this
criteria will be a condition of the conditional use permit along with other criteria.
g. Two hundred (200) cubic feet of covered storage space shall be provided exclusive of the
living area of the unit, unless a garage is provided as a part of the townhouse unit.
Each townhouse as proposed will have its own garage.
h. The developer or subdivider of any townhouse development including common open area,
property, or amenities, shall have evidence that compliance with the Uniform Common
Interest Ownership Act, AS 34.08, has been made prior to the sale of any townhouse
dwelling units;
Kenai Landing must provide evidence of this requirement prior to sale of any
townhouse dwelling unit.
i. All areas not devoted to buildings, drives, walks, parking areas or other authorized
installations shall be covered with one or more of the following: lawn, grass, natural or
ornamental shrubbery or trees, or other suitable materials approved by the Commission.
Pursuant to KMC Chapter 14.25 Landscaping/ Site Plan Regulations a
landscaping and site plan will be required for this multifamily development in the
heavy industrial zone.
Page 21
Resolution No. PZ2020-35
Page 5 of 6

DATE: December 3, 2020
SUBJECT: PZ2020-35 – Conditional Use Permit – Kenai Landing
Applicant: Kenai Landing, Inc.
2101 Bowpicker
Kenai, Alaska 99611
Legal Description: Tract A, Kenai Landing Cottages KPB Parcel #’s 049-101-23;
049-101-23C012
Property Address: 2101 Bowpicker
Lot Size: Tract A - 50 Acres (project to be Approximately 1 Acre)

Land Use Plan: Industrial
GENERAL INFORMATION
Kenai Landing, Inc. (Kenai Landing) has applied for a conditional use permit to develop a portion
of its 50 acre tract along the Kenai River into townhouses. The first phase of development
applicable to this application includes two, two unit townhouses and one three unit townhouse.
This development will require a future modification to Kenai Landing’s Uniform Common
Ownership Act filings prior to any sales. This tract is currently developed as a condominium
association, and each townhouse is proposed to be located on its own unit. Town houses are
allowed by conditional use in the Heavy Industrial Zone. This area has seen changes recently
with the development of the Cannery Lodge and removal of cannery infrastructure.
Approval of the application requires the applicant to meet both the criteria for a conditional use
permit and townhouse development.
Page 24
Page 2 of 7
Application, Public Notice, Public Comment
An application for a Conditional Use Permit was initially received October 28, 2020 and
administration has worked with the applicant to provide supplemental information. Pursuant to
Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.280(c) notices of the public hearing for the conditional use 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 conditional use request.
ANALYSIS
Kenai Landing must meet both the criteria for townhouses as provided in KMC 14.20.160 and
conditional use permits as provided in KMC 14.20.150(d).
Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.160 – Townhouses
Townhouses may be permitted provided they meet the following conditions:
1. The development conforms with the adopted comprehensive plan.
The construction of townhouses in this area likely meets goals 1, 2 and 3 of the comprehensive
plan by promoting and encouraging quality of life in Kenai, providing economic development
elements to support fiscal health, and using land use strategies to implement a forward looking
approach to community growth. These proposed townhouses will likely provide an opportunity for
new residents and visitors to stay in our community, supporting economic development. As
industrial uses of this area have diminished with the removal of aging cannery infrastructure,
taking advantage of the waterfront location for townhouse development, like the development of
the Cannery Lodge, supports community growth and development.
The Comprehensive Plan provides that existing industrial uses in Kenai totals 850 acres, with
another 320 acres of vacant industrial land. The current economic outlook does not indicate a
demand for large industrial sites in the near future according to the Plan. The Plan notes that the
decline in commercial fishing has affected operations of some fish processing plants. It appears
there is sufficient industrial land in the City to accommodate a transition to residential uses in this
area. Further, redevelopment of this area, consistent with the Cannery Lodge use , will not unduly
restrict opportunities for future industrial land uses. Like the Cannery Lodge, it appears this
development is compatible with the historic marine industrial use of the area.
2. Public Services and facilities are adequate to serve townhouse development.
Public and private services appear adequate to serve this proposed 7 unit townhouse
development. The location of these townhouses is the same as the location of the former Sockeye
Restaurant and Event Facility that was permitted by DEC to serve hundreds of customers a day.
The applicant provides that infrastructure including water, waste, gas, electric, phone, and ingress
and egress are all available. Kenai Landing’s waste water plant is permitted to receive 12,000
gallons of water per day according to the applicant.
Page 25
Page 3 of 7
Tract A is within a commercial condominium association that provides road maintenance,
management and landscaping services to unit owners. The City provides emergency medical, fire
and police response to the area. Both the Police Chief and Fire Chief believe adequate services
can be provided to the area to accommodate the 7 unit townhouse development. Public road
maintenance is provided to the property line.
3. Health, Safety and Welfare will not be jeopardized by the proposed development.
The development of 7 townhouse units in this area does not appear to jeopardize the health,
safety or welfare of our community. The development should attract residents and visitors to the
area in small numbers. With adequate police, fire and emergency medical response available,
along with water and waste water, health, safety and welfare should not be impacted.
4. Standard for townhouse development are satisfied as required in this section.
The standards for townhouse development are discussed in detail below.
5. Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Commission to fulfill the above
mentioned conditions shall be met by the applicant.
Administration does not have any recommendations for the Commission other than all the
conditions and criteria for townhouse development must be met along with other applicable
sections of Kenai Municipal Code related to development and construction of this project.
Townhouse are additionally subject to the following standards:
1. The proposed development shall meet the applicable processing conditions specified
in the conditional use permit section.
This is discussed below in the Conditional Use Section analysis.
2. A detailed development plan shall be submitted including a site plan drawn to scale.
The site plan shall include, but shall not be limited to, the topography and drainage of
the proposed site, the location of all buildings and structures on the site, courts, and
open space areas, circulation patterns, ingress and egress points, parking areas
(including the total number of parking spaces provided), and a general floor plan of the
principal buildings, together with such information as the Commission shall require;
The applicant has submitted a site plan to include two, two unit townhouses and one three unit
townhouse. The material submitted by the Kenai Landing includes topography and drainage of
the area with a plan to direct drainage to a ten acre on-site wetlands to the West Northwest of the
development area. General plans submitted include the location of the proposed buildings, open
areas, circulation patterns, ingress and egress points, the units will have garages for parking, and
general floor plans options are provided. The commission may request Kenai Landing to provide
updated documents as they become available.
3. Not more than six (6) contiguous townhouses shall be built in a row with the same or
approximately the same front line and not more than twelve (12) townhouses shall be
contiguous.
Page 26
Page 4 of 7
Kenai Landing is only proposing to build 2 and 3 contiguous townhouses in this phase of the
project.
4. Separation requirement: One series of townhouses shall not be located closer than
fifteen feet (15') to another series of townhouses or any accessory structure within the
townhouse development.
It does not appear that the proposed townhouse series will be closer than 15 feet to each other.
5. Minimum lot width for an individual townhouse is twenty-four feet (24')
It appears the development will meet this requirement. Meeting this width criteria will be required
nonetheless as the project is developed and the applicant is aware of this requirement.
6. Minimum lot area for each townhouse unit shall be two thousand (2,000) square feet
and subject to the following:
(A) The total building coverage in the R, RR, RR1, RS, RS1, RS2, RU, and TSH
zones shall be determined by the Development Requirements Table of KMC Title
14. The total building coverage in the IL, IH, CC, and CG zones shall be determined
by the Uniform Building Code as adopted by KMC 4.05.010. (Ord. 1767-97)
(B) The lot area may include a portion of the undivided common area.
Kenai Landing indicates it will meet the minimum lot area and building coverage. Because this is
in the IH zone, the building inspector will determine the total building coverage based on the
Uniform Building Code. Meeting this criteria will be a condition of the conditional use permit along
with other criteria.
7. Two hundred (200) cubic feet of covered storage space shall be provided exclusive of
the living area of the unit, unless a garage is provided as a part of the townhouse unit.
Each townhouse as proposed will have its own garage.
8. The developer or subdivider of any townhouse development including common open
area, property, or amenities, shall have evidence that compliance with the Uniform
Common Interest Ownership Act, AS 34.08, has been made prior to the sale of any
townhouse dwelling units;
Kenai landing is aware of this requirement, and it will be a condition of the conditional use permit.
9. All areas not devoted to buildings, drives, walks, parking areas or other authorized
installations shall be covered with one or more of the following: lawn, grass, natural or
ornamental shrubbery or trees, or other suitable materials approved by the
Commission.
Administration is unaware of Kenai Landings landscaping plans, but pursuant to KMC Chapter
14.25 Landscaping/ Site Plan Regulations a landscaping and site plan will be required for this
multifamily development in the heavy industrial zone.
Page 27
Page 5 of 7
10. The standards set forth in this section shall complement the general standards set
forth in this chapter and shall not be construed as superseding any general standard.
In the event of conflict, the stricter standard shall control.
This will be a requirement included in the conditional use permit.
Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150(d) – Review Criteria for Conditional Use Permits
Pursuant to KMC 14.20.150(a), the intent of a conditional use permit is to allow some uses that
may be compatible with the designated principal uses in specific zoning districts provided certain
conditions are met. KMC 14.20.150(d)-Conditional Use Permits Review Criteria states six
conditions that the Planning and Zoning Commission must deem to exist when establishing
findings prior to issuing a conditional use permit:
• The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes and
intent of the zoning district.
The proposed townhouses meet the intent of KMC14.20.150 and the intent of the IH Zone with
respect to the proposed use, given compliance with the staff recommended specific conditions
set forth in code above. The use is compatible with the designated principal uses in the IH zone
given that this is a commercial condominium association on a 50 acre tract and existing
neighboring unit developments. The IH Zone is intended to provide for a broad range of industrial
and commercial uses. Conditional uses may be allowed as provided in the land use table, which
townhouses are one of the allowed conditional uses. The proposed conditional use is compatible
with adjacent uses on the 50 acre tract, specifically including the Cannery Lodge. Additionally,
the large tract is controlled by the condominium association which can control adjacent uses
which may otherwise be problematic in the IH zone.
• The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be significantly impaired.
The surrounding uses on Tract A include the Cannery Lodge, and harbor and cannery facilities.
The adjoining property and neighborhood value will not be negatively impaired by the
development of 7 town houses in the area.
• The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
The construction of townhouses in this area likely meets goals 1, 2 and 3 of the comprehensive
plan by promoting and encouraging quality of life in Kenai, providing economic development
elements to support fiscal health, and using land use strategies to implement a forward looking
approach to community growth. These proposed townhouses will likely provide an opportunity for
new residents and visitors to stay in our community, supporting economic development. As
industrial uses of this area have diminished with the removal of aging cannery infrastructure,
taking advantage of the waterfront location for townhouse development, like the development of
the Cannery Lodge, supports community growth and development.
The Comprehensive Plan provides that existing industrial uses in Kenai totals 850 acres, with
another 320 acres of vacant industrial land. The current economic outlook does not indicate a
demand for large industrial sites in the near future according to the Plan. The Plan notes that the
decline in commercial fishing has affected operations of some fish processing plants. It appears
Page 28
Page 6 of 7
there is sufficient industrial land in the City to accommodate a transition to residential uses in this
area. Further, redevelopment of this area, consistent with the Cannery Lodge use, will not unduly
restrict opportunities for future industrial land uses. Like the Cannery Lodge, it appears this
development is compatible with the historic marine industrial use of the area.
• Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Public and private services appear adequate to serve this proposed 7 unit townhouse
development. The location of these townhouses is the same as the location of the former Sockeye
Restaurant and Event Facility that was permitted by DEC to serve hundreds of customers a day.
The applicant provides that infrastructure including water, waste, gas, electric, phone, and ingress
and egress are all available. Kenai Landings waste water plant is permitted to receive 12,000
gallons of water per day according to the applicant.
Tract A is within a commercial condominium association that provides road maintenance,
management and landscaping services to unit owners. The City provides, emergency medical,
fire and police response to the area. Both the Police Chief and Fire Chief believe adequate
services can be provided to the area to accommodate the 7 unit townhouse development. Public
road maintenance is provided to the property line.
• The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
The development of 7 townhouse units in this area does not appear to jeopardize the health,
safety or welfare of our community. The development should attract residents and visitors to the
area in small numbers. With adequate police, fire and emergency medical response available,
along with water and waste water, health, safety and welfare should not be impacted.
• Specific conditions deemed necessary.
See Conditions of Approval as set forth below. The applicant must obtain a building permit, an
approved site and landscaping plan, and a building permit prior to construction.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City staff find that the applicant meets the criteria for issuance of a Conditional Use Permit as set
forth in subsections (d)(1) through (d)(4) of Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.185, and hereby
recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the Conditional Use 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 issuance of a Building Permit, a landscape/site plan must be reviewed and
approved by the City Planner.
3. Prior to beginning construction of the project, a building permit must be issued by the
Building Official for the City of Kenai.
Page 29
Page 7 of 7
4. All criteria of KMC 14.20.160 - Townhouses must be met, with updated documents
provided to the City as they become available.
5. Prior to the sale of any of the units, evidence must be provided that the developer is in
compliance with the Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act, AS 34.08 .
6. A biennial fire inspection must be completed by the Fire Marshal for the City of Kenai.
7. A yearly Conditional Use Permit report must be submitted to the City of Kenai prior to the
31st day of December of each year.
8. The applicant will meet with City staff for on-site inspections when requested.
9. If there is a change of use for the above described property a new Conditional Use Permit
must be obtained, pursuant to 14.20.150(i)(5).
10. Pursuant to KMC 14.20.150(i)(2), this permit shall expire automatically upon termination
or interruption of the use for a period of at least one year.
11. Failure to provide documentation to the City for meeting these conditions shall be grounds
for the suspension or revocation of the conditional use permit.
