GENERAL INFORMATION
Segesser Surveys, LLC. submitted a preliminary plat on behalf of the property owner, Vann
Revocable Trust. The plat affects the parcel described as: That portion of the S½ of the SE1/4 of
the SW1/4, Section 17, T5N, R11W, Seward Meridian, Kenai Recording District, Third Judicial
District, lying North of the Northerly Right of Way of Kalifo rnsky Beach Road; EXCEPTING
THEREFROM any portion lying within VIP Country Estates Subdivision, Part 5, according to Plat
No. 85-124.
The applicant wishes to subdivide the approximately 10 acre parcel into 7 lots. The lots are
ranging in size from approximately 1 acre to approximately 2 acres. The minimum lot size exceeds
the minimum lot size requirement of 12,500 square feet for development in the Limited
Commercial zone. The lots also exceed the minimum lot width requirement of 90 feet for
development as set forth in Kenai Municipal Code 14.24.020.
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 April 22, 2021.
ANALYSIS
The lots in the subdivision front Kalifornsky Beach Road, which is a paved road maintained by
the State of Alaska, Department of Transportation. Plat Note number 5 denotes that “No private
access to State maintained ROW s permitted unless approved by the State of Alaska Department
of Transportation”. The primary access to the proposed lots would be via Baleen Avenue which
is a gravel City maintained road. The applicant granted a 30-foot access easement adjacent to
the rights-of way for Kalifornsky Beach Road and VIP Drive. The applicant indicated that this
access easement could be used to access the lots in the subdivision. City staff does not
recommend that the access easement be utilized for primary access to the lots. Individuals
wishing to utilize the access easement would have to make a sharp right turn immediately from
Kalifornsky Beach Road onto VIP Drive. This could impede traffic flow exiting off of Kalifornsky
Beach Road. The City of Kenai recommends that Baleen Avenue be the primary access for the
lots in the subdivision.
The City of Kenai does not have water and sewer lines in this area. Property owners would have
to install water wells and septic systems. The septic systems must be installed by a DEC certified
Page 35
Page 3 of 3
installer and meet Department of Environmental Conservations regulatory requirements. An
installation agreement is not required.
A 15 foot utility easement lies along the Southerly boundary of the lots and the Easterly boundary
of Lot 1, Baleen Cove Subdivision.
The preliminary plat meets requirements of KMC Subdivision design standards and KMC
14.10.080 Minimum improvements required under Chapter 14.10 Subdivision Regulations.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Baleen Cove Subdivision, subject to the
following conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local
regulations.
2. Delineate the access easement as set forth under Plat Note number 4 on the face of the
plat.
3. Add to Plat Note number 4 that the City of Kenai does not recommend that the access
easement be used as primary access into the subdivision.
4. Specify the acreage or square footage of each lot on the face of the plat.
5. The surrounding property notation for Lots 8 and 9, Block 3, should be changed to Lot 8A,
Block 3, KN 2014-86.

Page 2 of 6
Staff Response: The planned unit residential development and the associated 60 dwelling
units meet the intent of KMC14.20.150, given compliance with the staff recommended
specific conditions set forth below.
(2) A detailed development plan shall be submitted to the Commission including a
site plan drawn to scale. The site plan shall include, but not be limited to, the
topography and drainage of the proposed site, the location of all existing and
proposed structures, designated areas of common open space, internal and
external circulation patterns, and location of the required parking spaces. A general
floor plan of the principal buildings, together with any requested information, shall
also be submitted to the Commission. A development schedule shall also be
submitted for the purpose of coordinating the development and open space
components of the Planned Unit Residential Development.
Staff Response: A detailed development plan has been submitted by the applicant and
includes exhibits for a site plan, utilities, parking, phasing, development areas, open space
plans, and general floor plans.
(3) The minimum parcel size allowed for a Planned Unit Residential Development
shall be two and one-half (2.5) acres, inclusive of any dedicated right-of-way or
public use easement which may exist within the boundaries of the site.
Staff Response: This application meets this standard with an approximately 13 acre
project site for Phase A.
(4) The maximum number of dwelling units per acre allowable within the gross area
of a Planned Unit Residential Development shall be as follows:
Zoning District (Gross
Area)
Dwelling Units/Acre
Rural Residential
Six (6)
Suburban Residential
Subject to Commission
Determination
Urban Residential
Subject to Commission
Determination
Staff Response: The Heavy Industrial zoning district is not specified in this standard’s
table, therefore, the dwelling units per acre are subject to Commission determination.
Staff considers this application meeting this standard with a 4.59 dwelling units/acre, less
than the 6 dwelling units per acre of the low-density Rural Residential zoning district, a
zoning district that generally does not have as much intensity of use as the Heavy
Industrial district.
(5) The allowable land use activities shall include the following:
Page 85
Resolution No. PZ2021-10
Page 3 of 6
(A) Residential uses including single-family, duplex, multiplex, and townhouse
dwelling units;
(B) Any principal, secondary, or conditional uses permitted within the zoning
district in which the Planning Unit Residential Development is to be established.
Staff Response: This standard is met with the inclusion of single-family, duplex, multiplex,
and townhouse dwelling units.
(6) The building coverage within the Planned Unit Residential Development shall
not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the site area in the RR and RS zones or forty
percent (40%) of the site if located in the RU zone.
Staff Response: Phase A lot coverage is approximately 10% of the 13.05 acre project site,
therefore, this standard is met as substantially lower than 30% lot coverage.
(7) The following design standards shall govern the Planned Unit Residential
Development:
(A) The development requirements of the specific zoning district, except as
otherwise allowed, shall apply to all portions of the development;
Staff Response: Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, conditions listed under 14.20.160
Townhouses must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Director. Adjustments to
criteria regarding lot width, lot size, and setbacks will be considered due to the nature of
the project, including the Condominium approach in lieu of fee simple lots. This condition
of approval is noted below.
(B) All areas not devoted to building or associated parking areas shall be left in its
natural state, appropriately landscaped, utilized for an active or passive recreation
area, or developed for a purpose specified in a submitted site development plan;
Staff Response: Exhibits have been provided demonstrating the reserved usable open
space, which includes a dock, promenade, plaza, and natural spaces. A detailed
landscape/site plan is required as a condition of approval as noted below.
(C) A minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the site shall be reserved as usable open
space. Any portion of this open space may be reserved in common for the benefit
of the residents within the Planned Unit Residential Development.
Staff Response: Approximately 34% of the project site is reserved as usable open space.
(D) Residential and nonresidential uses within the Planned Unit Residential
Development shall be separated by a buffer strip, landscaped area, fence, or other
manner deemed appropriate by the Commission.
Staff Response: This application does not have any non-residential uses.
(E) Any use developed along the perimeter of the Planned Unit Residential
Development shall be consistent with principal uses allowed in the abutting zoning
districts.
Page 86
Resolution No. PZ2021-10
Page 4 of 6
Staff Response: Neighboring parcels are also zoned heavy industrial, and the residential
use of the PUD is considered compatible with the lodging and event uses on the adjacent
property to the south. This application does not have development planned for the
northern perimeter of the subject parcel.
(8) The developer or subdivider of any Planned Unit Residential Development
including common open area, property, or amenities, shall have evidence that
compliance with Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act, AS 34.08, has been
made prior to the sale of any townhouse dwelling units.
Staff Response: This standard has been added as a condition of approval of the
Conditional Use Permit application as set forth below.
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 consists of City leased land, North Pacific
Seafoods, and open space to the north, Cannery Lodge to the south, the Kenai River to
the east, and Hillcorp and residential to the west. Generally speaking, new residential
construction of this nature, tends to increase neighborhood property values and should
not negatively impair the value of adjacent properties.
3. KMC 14.20.150(d)(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
Criteria Met. The Land Use Plan in the City’s Comprehensive Plan designates this
property as Industrial, which may include warehousing, trucking, packaging, distribution,
production, manufacturing, processing, marine-related industry and storage, and similar
industrial activities. As noted in the Comprehensive Plan, the decline of the commercial
fishing industry has affected operations of some fish processing plants, a past use of
the subject property. Kenai Municipal Code 14.22.010 – Land Use Table provides that
a Planned unit residential development is a conditional use for the Heavy Industrial
zoning district, and a development option that can meet the current demands for
multiple types of housing, along with outdoor amenities, in the City of Kenai.
Below are additional goals/objectives from the Comprehensive Plan that support this PUD
application:
Q-9 Encourage healthy lifestyles by providing opportunities and/or facilities for
outdoor activities.
LU-14 Ensure a pattern of connecting streets and blocks that allows people to get
around easily by foot, bicycle or car when approving new developments, both
commercial and multifamily.
LU-10 Encourage creative subdivision design for residential areas.
PR-4 Support projects that provide additional quality outdoor and indoor recreation.
4. KMC 14.20.150(d)(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed
use;
Page 87
Resolution No. PZ2021-10
Page 5 of 6
Criteria Met. Existing public sewer and water utilities are located on Bridge Access Road
and are approximately two miles away from the subject property, and therefore, are not a
viable option for this project. The PUD Phase A will have access to water, sewer, waste
removal, and road maintenance provided by the commercial condominium. Natural gas
service will be provided by Enstar and electricity by Homer Electric Association. Kenai
Municipal Code 14.20.250(b)(8) requires that there are two parking spaces available for
each unit for a total of 120 parking spaces for the 60 units. The attached application meets
this requirement by providing a garage and surface parking for at least two vehicles per
each dwelling unit with an additional 20 spaces dedicated to transient, RV, and boat
launch parking. While primarily provided by a private entity, staff believes the services and
facilities are adequate to serve the development.
5. KMC 14.150(d)(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare;
Criteria Met: A planned unit residential development of 60 dwelling units for Phase A will
not be harmful to the public safety, health and welfare. Staff believes that services are
available to adequately serve this development. The applicant has provided the City with
a draft site plan, which indicates that there will be sufficient parking available for residents
and guests. The subject property is transitioning away from a traditional heavy industrial
zoning use, and therefore, industrial impacts on public safety, health and welfare do not
have to be considered in evaluating this project.
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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA:
Section 1. That a conditional use permit is granted to Kenai Landing, Inc. for the use of a planned
unit residential development with 60 dwelling units on Tract A, Kenai Landing
Cottages Subdivision located at 2101 Bowpicker Lane.
Section 2. That the conditional use permit is subject to the following conditions:

Kenai Municipal Code 14.22.010 – Land Use Table provides that a Planned unit residential
development is a conditional use. Accordingly, on March 12, 2021, an application for a conditional
Page 90
Page 2 of 8
use permit for was submitted by Kenai Landing, Inc. Planning staff reviewed the application and
deemed it to be complete.
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 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: For Tract A; the purpose and intent of the zoning district was
influenced by the historical presence of the Wards Cove Cannery that pre-dated the
incorporation of the city of Kenai. Applicant's proposed mix of residential with light
commercial and retail activity is consistent with the historic purpose of Tract A that existed
when the zoning district was formed. The intent of Tract A's zoning district has always
been to encourage large scale investment, to accommodates a range of residential and
commercial uses, and to avoid heavy industrial uses that impact the environment or
surrounding lands too adversely. Thus, the proposed PUD is consistent with the purpose
and intent of the IH zoning district here.
Staff Response: The Kenai Municipal Code 14.22.010 – Land Use Table provides that a
planned unit residential development is a conditional use for the Heavy Industrial zoning
district. The proposed street network is anticipated to be sufficient to accommodate the
traffic generated from 60 residential units in Phase A. In addition, a conditional use permit
for a PUD must also meet the conditions cited in 14.20.170 Planned Unit Residential
Development.
b) Planned Unit Residential Development shall be subject to the following
standards:
(1) The proposed development shall meet the applicable conditions specified in
KMC 14.20.150.
Staff Response: The planned unit residential development and the associated 60 dwelling
units meet the intent of KMC14.20.150, given compliance with the staff recommended
specific conditions set forth below.
Page 91
Page 3 of 8
(2) A detailed development plan shall be submitted to the Commission including a
site plan drawn to scale. The site plan shall include, but not be limited to, the
topography and drainage of the proposed site, the location of all existing and
proposed structures, designated areas of common open space, internal and
external circulation patterns, and location of the required parking spaces. A general
floor plan of the principal buildings, together with any requested information, shall
also be submitted to the Commission. A development schedule shall also be
submitted for the purpose of coordinating the development and open space
components of the Planned Unit Residential Development.
Staff Response: A detailed development plan has been submitted by the applicant and
includes exhibits for a site plan, utilities, parking, phasing, development areas, open space
plans, and general floor plans.
(3) The minimum parcel size allowed for a Planned Unit Residential Development
shall be two and one-half (2.5) acres, inclusive of any dedicated right-of-way or
public use easement which may exist within the boundaries of the site.
Staff Response: This application meets this standard with an approximately 13 acre
project site for Phase A.
(4) The maximum number of dwelling units per acre allowable within the gross area
of a Planned Unit Residential Development shall be as follows:
Zoning District (Gross
Area)
Dwelling Units/Acre
Rural Residential
Six (6)
Suburban Residential
Subject to Commission
Determination
Urban Residential
Subject to Commission
Determination
Staff Response: The Heavy Industrial zoning district is not specified in this standard’s
table, therefore, the dwelling units per acre are subject to Commission determination.
Staff considers this application meeting this standard with a 4.59 dwelling units/acre, less
than the 6 dwelling units per acre of the low-density Rural Residential zoning district, a
zoning district that generally does not have as much intensity of use as the Heavy
Industrial district.
(5) The allowable land use activities shall include the following:
(A) Residential uses including single-family, duplex, multiplex, and townhouse
dwelling units;
Page 92
Page 4 of 8
(B) Any principal, secondary, or conditional uses permitted within the zoning
district in which the Planning Unit Residential Development is to be established.
Staff Response: This standard is met with the inclusion of single-family, duplex, multiplex,
and townhouse dwelling units.
(6) The building coverage within the Planned Unit Residential Development shall
not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the site area in the RR and RS zones or forty
percent (40%) of the site if located in the RU zone.
Staff Response: Phase A lot coverage is approximately 10% of the 13.05 acre project site,
therefore, this standard is met as substantially lower than 30% lot coverage.
(7) The following design standards shall govern the Planned Unit Residential
Development:
(A) The development requirements of the specific zoning district, except as
otherwise allowed, shall apply to all portions of the development;
Staff Response: Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, conditions listed under 14.20.160
Townhouses must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Director. Adjustments to
criteria regarding lot width, lot size, and setbacks will be considered due to the nature of
the project, including the Condominium approach in lieu of fee simple lots. This condition

area, or developed for a purpose specified in a submitted site development plan;
Staff Response: Exhibits have been provided demonstrating the reserved usable open
space, which includes a dock, promenade, plaza, and natural spaces. A detailed
landscape/site plan is required as a condition of approval as noted below.
(C) A minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the site shall be reserved as usable open
space. Any portion of this open space may be reserved in common for the benefit
of the residents within the Planned Unit Residential Development.
Staff Response: Approximately 34% of the project site is reserved as usable open space.
(D) Residential and nonresidential uses within the Planned Unit Residential
Development shall be separated by a buffer strip, landscaped area, fence, or other
manner deemed appropriate by the Commission.
Staff Response: This application does not have any non-residential uses.
(E) Any use developed along the perimeter of the Planned Unit Residential
Development shall be consistent with principal uses allowed in the abutting zoning
districts.
Page 93
Page 5 of 8
Staff Response: Neighboring parcels are also zoned heavy industrial, and the residential
use of the PUD is considered compatible with the lodging and event uses on the adjacent
property to the south. This application does not have development planned for the
northern perimeter of the subject parcel.
(8) The developer or subdivider of any Planned Unit Residential Development
including common open area, property, or amenities, shall have evidence that
compliance with Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act, AS 34.08, has been
made prior to the sale of any townhouse dwelling units.
Staff Response: This standard has been added as a condition of approval of the
Conditional Use Permit application as set forth below.
Criteria #2: The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be
significantly impaired.
Applicant Response: Cannery Lodge is a successful lodging and event venue that is the
only adjacent landholder to the proposed PUD to the south of Tract A. Its owner, PRL
(Ron Hyde) is supportive of this PUD as it represents the least likely use to impair the
value of his investment and most likely to enhance it, especially when compared to other
possible permitted uses in the IH zone. Traffic, for example, will increase but not as
intensely as commercial traffic associated with a large fish processing or manufacturing
facility. The PUD, therefore, is more likely to enhance the value of like property that
surrounds the PUD.
Staff Response: The surrounding neighborhood consists of City leased land, North Pacific
Seafoods, and open space to the north, Cannery Lodge to the south, the Kenai River to
the east, and Hillcorp and residential to the west. Generally speaking, new residential
construction of this nature, tends to increase neighborhood property values and should
not negatively impair the value of adjacent properties.
Criteria #3: The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
Applicant Response: The Comprehensive Plan recognizes a history of mixed use on Tract
A, a significant component of which was seasonal residential lodging for hundreds of
fishermen, engineers and cannery workers, The Comprehensive Plan emphasizes
harmony of adjacent uses and this PUD application advances that objective. Finally, it
brings valuable land into production in a manner that reflects its highest and best economic
use, and highest potential assessed value.
Staff Response: The Land Use Plan in the City’s Comprehensive Plan designates this
property as Industrial, which may include warehousing, trucking, packaging, distribution,
production, manufacturing, processing, marine-related industry and storage, and similar
industrial activities. As noted in the Comprehensive Plan, the decline of the commercial
fishing industry has affected operations of some fish processing plants, a past use of
the subject property. Kenai Municipal Code 14.22.010 – Land Use Table provides that
a Planned unit residential development is a conditional use for the Heavy Industrial
zoning district, and a development option that can meet the current demands for
multiple types of housing, along with outdoor amenities, in the City of Kenai.
Page 94
Page 6 of 8
Below are additional goals/objectives from the Comprehensive Plan that support this PUD
application:
Q-9 Encourage healthy lifestyles by providing opportunities and/or facilities for
outdoor activities.
LU-14 Ensure a pattern of connecting streets and blocks that allows people to get
around easily by foot, bicycle or car when approving new developments, both
commercial and multifamily.
LU-10 Encourage creative subdivision design for residential areas.
PR-4 Support projects that provide additional quality outdoor and indoor
recreation.
Criteria #4: Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Applicant Response: Yes, the commercial condominium, will provided water, waste, road
maintenance and other services to unit owners. Primary physical and legal access is
provided via Cannery Road, an existing public road. HEA will provide power and Enstar
will provide natural gas. Thus, a combination of both public and private services offered
through the commercial condo association create an adequate base of service.
Staff Response: Existing public sewer and water utilities are located on Bridge Access
Road and are approximately two miles away from the subject property, and therefore, are
not a viable option for this project. The PUD Phase A will have access to water, sewer,
waste removal, and road maintenance provided by the commercial condominium. Natural
gas service will be provided by Enstar and electricity by Homer Electric Association. Kenai
Municipal Code 14.20.250(b)(8) requires that there are two parking spaces available for
each unit for a total of 120 parking spaces for the 60 units. The attached application meets
this requirement by providing a garage and surface parking for at least two vehicles per
each dwelling unit with an additional 20 spaces dedicated to transient, RV, and boat
launch parking. W hile primarily provided by a private entity, staff believes the services and
facilities are adequate to serve the development.
Criteria #5: The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare.
Applicant Response: There are no elements of the PUD use which are deemed harmful
to the public health, safety and welfare- certainly none that increase risks to the public
over the historic industrial fish processing use. Harmful effects, if any, simply reflect those
associated with living in a residential mixed use waterfront environment.
Staff Response: A planned unit residential development of 60 dwelling units for Phase A
will not be harmful to the public safety, health and welfare. Staff believes that services are
available to adequately serve this development. The applicant has provided the City with
a draft site plan, which indicates that there will be sufficient parking available for residents
and guests. The subject property is transitioning away from a traditional heavy industrial
zoning use, and therefore, industrial impacts on public safety, health and welfare do not
have to be considered in evaluating this project.

for a PUD must also meet the conditions cited in 14.20.170 Planned Unit Residential
Development.
b) Planned Unit Residential Development shall be subject to the following
standards:
(1) The proposed development shall meet the applicable conditions specified in
KMC 14.20.150.
Page 98
Resolution No. PZ2021-10
Page 2 of 6
Staff Response: The planned unit residential development and the associated 60 dwelling
units meet the intent of KMC14.20.150, given compliance with the staff recommended
specific conditions set forth below.
(2) A detailed development plan shall be submitted to the Commission including a
site plan drawn to scale. The site plan shall include, but not be limited to, the
topography and drainage of the proposed site, the location of all existing and
proposed structures, designated areas of common open space, internal and
external circulation patterns, and location of the required parking spaces. A general
floor plan of the principal buildings, together with any requested information, shall
also be submitted to the Commission. A development schedule shall also be
submitted for the purpose of coordinating the development and open space
components of the Planned Unit Residential Development.
Staff Response: A detailed development plan has been submitted by the applicant and
includes exhibits for a site plan, utilities, parking, phasing, development areas, open space
plans, and general floor plans.
(3) The minimum parcel size allowed for a Planned Unit Residential Development
shall be two and one-half (2.5) acres, inclusive of any dedicated right-of-way or
public use easement which may exist within the boundaries of the site.
Staff Response: This application meets this standard with an approximately 13 acre
project site for Phase A.
(4) The maximum number of dwelling units per acre allowable within the gross area
of a Planned Unit Residential Development shall be as follows:
Zoning District (Gross
Area)
Dwelling Units/Acre
Rural Residential
Six (6)
Suburban Residential
Subject to Commission
Determination
Urban Residential
Subject to Commission
Determination
Staff Response: The Heavy Industrial zoning district is not specified in this standard’s
table, therefore, the dwelling units per acre are subject to Commission determination.
Staff considers this application meeting this standard with a 4.59 dwelling units/acre, less
than the 6 dwelling units per acre of the low-density Rural Residential zoning district, a
zoning district that generally does not have as much intensity of use as the Heavy
Industrial district.
(5) The allowable land use activities shall include the following:
Page 99
Resolution No. PZ2021-10
Page 3 of 6
(A) Residential uses including single-family, duplex, multiplex, and townhouse
dwelling units;
(B) Any principal, secondary, or conditional uses permitted within the zoning
district in which the Planning Unit Residential Development is to be established.
Staff Response: This standard is met with the inclusion of single-family, duplex, multiplex,
and townhouse dwelling units.
(6) The building coverage within the Planned Unit Residential Development shall
not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the site area in the RR and RS zones or forty
percent (40%) of the site if located in the RU zone.
Staff Response: Phase A lot coverage is approximately 10% of the 13.05 acre project site,
therefore, this standard is met as substantially lower than 30% lot coverage.
(7) The following design standards shall govern the Planned Unit Residential
Development:
(A) The development requirements of the specific zoning district, except as
otherwise allowed, shall apply to all portions of the development;
Staff Response: Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, conditions listed under 14.20.160
Townhouses must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Director. Adjustments to
criteria regarding lot width, lot size, and setbacks will be considered due to the nature of
the project, including the Condominium approach in lieu of fee simple lots. This condition
of approval is noted below.
(B) All areas not devoted to building or associated parking areas shall be left in its
natural state, appropriately landscaped, utilized for an active or passive recreation
area, or developed for a purpose specified in a submitted site development plan;
Staff Response: Exhibits have been provided demonstrating the reserved usable open
space, which includes a dock, promenade, plaza, and natural spaces. A detailed
landscape/site plan is required as a condition of approval as noted below.
(C) A minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the site shall be reserved as usable open
space. Any portion of this open space may be reserved in common for the benefit
of the residents within the Planned Unit Residential Development.
Staff Response: Approximately 34% of the project site is reserved as usable open space.
(D) Residential and nonresidential uses within the Planned Unit Residential
Development shall be separated by a buffer strip, landscaped area, fence, or other
manner deemed appropriate by the Commission.
Staff Response: This application does not have any non-residential uses.
(E) Any use developed along the perimeter of the Planned Unit Residential
Development shall be consistent with principal uses allowed in the abutting zoning
districts.
Page 100
Resolution No. PZ2021-10
Page 4 of 6
Staff Response: Neighboring parcels are also zoned heavy industrial, and the residential
use of the PUD is considered compatible with the lodging and event uses on the adjacent
property to the south. This application does not have development planned for the
northern perimeter of the subject parcel.
(8) The developer or subdivider of any Planned Unit Residential Development
including common open area, property, or amenities, shall have evidence that
compliance with Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act, AS 34.08, has been
made prior to the sale of any townhouse dwelling units.
Staff Response: This standard has been added as a condition of approval of the
Conditional Use Permit application as set forth below.
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 consists of City leased land, North Pacific
Seafoods, and open space to the north, Cannery Lodge to the south, the Kenai River to
the east, and Hillcorp and residential to the west. Generally speaking, new residential
construction of this nature, tends to increase neighborhood property values and should
not negatively impair the value of adjacent properties.
3. KMC 14.20.150(d)(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
Criteria Met. The Land Use Plan in the City’s Comprehensive Plan designates this
property as Industrial, which may include warehousing, trucking, packaging, distribution,
production, manufacturing, processing, marine-related industry and storage, and similar
industrial activities. As noted in the Comprehensive Plan, the decline of the commercial
fishing industry has affected operations of some fish processing plants, a past use of
the subject property. Kenai Municipal Code 14.22.010 – Land Use Table provides that
a Planned unit residential development is a conditional use for the Heavy Industrial
zoning district, and a development option that can meet the current demands for
multiple types of housing, along with outdoor amenities, in the City of Kenai.
Below are additional goals/objectives from the Comprehensive Plan that support this PUD
application:
Q-9 Encourage healthy lifestyles by providing opportunities and/or facilities for
outdoor activities.
LU-14 Ensure a pattern of connecting streets and blocks that allows people to get
around easily by foot, bicycle or car when approving new developments, both
commercial and multifamily.
LU-10 Encourage creative subdivision design for residential areas.
PR-4 Support projects that provide additional quality outdoor and indoor recreation.
4. KMC 14.20.150(d)(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed
use;
Page 101
Resolution No. PZ2021-10
Page 5 of 6
Criteria Met. Existing public sewer and water utilities are located on Bridge Access Road
and are approximately two miles away from the subject property, and therefore, are not a
viable option for this project. The PUD Phase A will have access to water, sewer, waste
removal, and road maintenance provided by the commercial condominium. Natural gas
service will be provided by Enstar and electricity by Homer Electric Association. Kenai
Municipal Code 14.20.250(b)(8) requires that there are two parking spaces available for
each unit for a total of 120 parking spaces for the 60 units. The attached application meets
this requirement by providing a garage and surface parking for at least two vehicles per
each dwelling unit with an additional 20 spaces dedicated to transient, RV, and boat
launch parking. While primarily provided by a private entity, staff believes the services and
facilities are adequate to serve the development.
5. KMC 14.150(d)(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare;
Criteria Met: A planned unit residential development of 60 dwelling units for Phase A will
not be harmful to the public safety, health and welfare. Staff believes that services are
available to adequately serve this development. The applicant has provided the City with
a draft site plan, which indicates that there will be sufficient parking available for residents
and guests. The subject property is transitioning away from a traditional heavy industrial
zoning use, and therefore, industrial impacts on public safety, health and welfare do not
have to be considered in evaluating this project.
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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA:
Section 1. That a conditional use permit is granted to Kenai Landing, Inc. for the use of a planned
unit residential development with 60 dwelling units on Tract A, Kenai Landing

Director.
4. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, conditions listed under 14.20.160
Townhouses must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Director.

Resolution No. PZ2021-10
Page 6 of 6
Adjustments to criteria regarding lot width, lot size, and setbacks will be
considered due to the nature of the project, including the Condominium approach

Residential Development results in expiration of PZ2020-35 granting a
Conditional Use Permit for two, two unit townhouses and one three unit
townhouse on the subject property.
8. A yearly Conditional Use Permit report must be submitted to the City of Kenai
prior to the 31st day of December of each year.
9. The applicant will meet with City staff for on-site inspections when requested.
10. 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).
11. 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.
12. Failure to provide documentation to the City for meeting these conditions shall be
grounds for the suspension or revocation of the conditional use permit.
13. The developer or subdivider of any Planned Unit Residential Development
including common open area, property, or amenities, shall have evidence that
compliance with Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act, AS 34.08, has been
made prior to the sale of any townhouse dwelling units.
PASSED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI,

issuing a conditional use permit:
A conditional use permit for a PUD must also meet the conditions cited in
14.20.170 Planned Unit Residential Development. This criteria is reviewed under
Criteria #1 of the Conditional Use Permit in this application.
