Planning Director Foster presented his staff report with information provided in packet and
laydown noting that the owners wish to subdivide a large lot comprised of approximately 16.234
acres into two lots. It is clarified that purpose of the plat is to provide private access to the Kenai
River via the proposed Lot 1-B, although it was noted that there is a section line easement along
the north boundary of the proposed lot and access is not limited to private use only.
Approval of the plat was recommended, subject to the following conditions:
• Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local
regulations.
• Remove Note 6 from the Plat, the City of Kenai does not participate in the FEMA
Floodplain program and does not comply with Title 21, Chapter 6 of the Kenai Peninsula
Borough Code of Ordinances.
• If circumstances change to allow lawful onsite wastewater treatment and disposal
systems, those systems must meet the wastewater disposal requirements of KPB Chapter
20.40 and the regulatory requirements of the Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation.

Vice Chair Fikes MOVED to approve Resolution No. PZ2021-03 and Commissioner Halstead
SECONDED the motion.
Chair Twait opened for public hearing; there being no one wishing to be heard, the public hearing
was closed.

undeveloped walking trail exists on the easement so it may be informally used by the public.

use permit would permit the construction of 8 single-family units in addition to the existing single-
family dwelling on this property. The criteria for conditional use permits was reviewed; it was
noted the application met the criteria and City staff recommends approval 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 Planning Director.

MOTION:
Commissioner Greenberg MOVED to recommend approval of Resolution No. PZ2021-01 with
staff recommendations and Commissioner Douthit SECONDED the motion.
Chair Twait opened the floor for public testimony.
Fred Braun, a realtor with Jack White Real Estate of Kenai, stated that this would be a real win-
win for the City. He explained that there is a severe shortage of rentals in Kenai, and this
development will allow new families to move into town and result in more sales tax generated.
He also noted that these new buildings could enhance the value of other homes in the area.
There being no one else wishing to be heard, the public hearing was closed.
Clarification was provided that there is currently a 5-foot setback and a Conditional Use Permit
requires a 15-foot setback, but there is adequate space for this.
Rob Coreson explained the plan for providing utilities to these units which involved creating
easements from pre-existing lines, so no roads would be torn up. Clarified that each individual
unit will have their own gas, electric and water meters.
Discussion included the plan for vehicle access, which will involve new approaches but not require
new paved road, and it was clarified that there is adequate access for emergency vehicles to
reach all units.

APPLICANT: Laura Pabst
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 140 Richfield Drive
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 4, Block 6, Valhalla Heights Subdivision Part 5
KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH PARCEL NUMBER: 04932020
WHEREAS, a complete application meeting the requirements of Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150
was submitted to the City on February 7, 2021; 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 March 10, 2021, following requirements outlined in Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.280 for public hearings and notifications.
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;
Critera Met: The proposed commercial kennel meets the intent of the Rural Residential
Zone (RR) to provide for low density residential development in outlying and rural areas
in a form which creates a stable and attractive residential environment. The specific intent
in establishing this zone is:
(1) To separate residential structures to an extent which will:
a. Preserve the rural, open quality of the environment;
b. Prevent health hazards in areas not served by public water and sewer.
(2) To prohibit uses which would:
a. Violate the residential character of the environment;
b. Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas.
Page 55
Resolution No. PZ2021-05
Page 2 of 3
The Land Use Table provides that commercial kennels are a conditional use; therefore, a
conditional use permit must be granted to allow the breeding and sale of dogs. The
applicant has provided a site plan that indicates that the outside areas where dogs would
be located is completely fenced. The layout of the property is such that a kennel would
not violate the neighborhood character of surrounding parcels, as there is sufficient space
to accommodate the kennel.
2. KMC 14.20.150(d)(2) The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be
significantly impaired;
Criteria Met. The surrounding neighborhood is comprised of single family dwellings and
vacant lots. The parcel is surrounded by trees on the South and West boundaries and
Richfield Drive lies to the East of the property. The lots to the South and West of the parcel
are currently vacant. The tree line should serve as a buffer for any potential noise from
the dogs.
3. KMC 14.20.150(d)(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
Criteria Met. The Comprehensive Plan has goals to support businesses and economic
development and to provide a high quality of life within the City. The applicant states that
the primary purpose for breeding dogs is to improve the breed standard. The sale of any
puppies is secondary. The applicant stated that she will be occasionally breeding dogs
with potential for improving the breed standard. Given that scenario, it is determined that
the dog breeding will not impair the quality of life within the neighborhood.
4. KMC 14.20.150(d)(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed
use;
Criteria Met. The properties located along Richfield Drive are served by private wells and
septic systems, and have access to natural gas, electricity and telephone services.
Richfield Drive is a gravel road which is maintained by the City of Kenai. The operation of
a commercial kennel would not have an impact on these services.
5. KMC 14.150(d)(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare;
Criteria Met: A commercial kennel will not be harmful to the public safety, health and
welfare. The applicant has provided a site plan that indicates that the outside areas where
dogs would be located is completely fenced and that dogs are never left unattended
outside.
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 below.

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 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:
Criteria # 1: The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes
and intent of the zoning district.
Applicant Response: We are a small show kennel. Dogs are titled and some are in the
top 20 for their breeds in the USA. We have occasional litters from 100% health tested
parents. We are not a big breeding facility breeding for prophet.
Staff Response: The proposed commercial kennel meets the intent of the Rural
Residential Zone (RR) to provide for low density residential development in outlying and
rural areas in a form which creates a stable and attractive residential environment. The
specific intent in establishing this zone is:
(1) To separate residential structures to an extent which will:
a. Preserve the rural, open quality of the environment;
b. Prevent health hazards in areas not served by public water and sewer.
(2) To prohibit uses which would:
a. Violate the residential character of the environment;
b. Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas.
The Land Use Table provides that commercial kennels are a conditional use; therefore, a
conditional use permit must be granted to allow the breeding and sale of dogs. The
applicant has provided a site plan that indicates that the outside areas where dogs would
be located is completely fenced. The layout of the property is such that a kennel would
not violate the neighborhood character of surrounding parcels, as there is sufficient space
to accommodate the kennel.
Criteria #2: The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be
significantly impaired.
Applicant Response: We make sure our dog areas are clean and if the dogs start to bark
they are brought in. There is a tree line on 2 sides of our house and a road on one side.
Page 59
Page 3 of 4
Staff Response: The surrounding neighborhood is comprised of single family dwellings
and vacant lots. The parcel is surrounded by trees on the South and West boundaries and
Richfield Drive lies to the East of the property. The lots to the South and West of the parcel
are currently vacant. The tree line should serve as a buffer for any potential noise from
the dogs.
Criteria #3: The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
Applicant Response: We are not in conflict of any City Plans.
Staff Response: The Comprehensive Plan has goals to support businesses and economic
development and to provide a high quality of life within the City. The applicant states that
the primary purpose for breeding dogs is to improve the breed standard. The sale of any
puppies is secondary. The applicant stated that she will be occasionally breeding dogs
with potential for improving the breed standard. Given that scenario, it is determined that
the dog breeding will not impair the quality of life within the neighborhood.
Criteria #4: Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Applicant Response: The utilities at the residence are enough for our program. We are not
“open to the public”. Our dogs can be seen at training classes, shows, trials and at my job
at Soldotna Animal Hospital.
Staff Response: The properties located along Richfield Drive are served by private wells
and septic systems, and have access to natural gas, electricity and telephone services.
Richfield Drive is a gravel road which is maintained by the City of Kenai. The operation of
a commercial kennel would not have an impact on these services.
Criteria #5: The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
Applicant Response: Our dogs are all well trained and socialized. We train in and teach
classes with the Kenai Kennel Club. Our dogs have been used for deminstrations at these
classes.
Staff Response: A commercial kennel will not be harmful to the public safety, health and
welfare. The applicant has provided a site plan that indicates that the outside areas where
dogs would be located is completely fenced and that dogs are never left unattended
outside.
Criteria # 6: Specific conditions deemed necessary.
Applicant Response: Our dogs have large fenced areas for exercise and are never left
unattended.
Staff Response: See Conditions of Approval as set forth below.
