MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Ryan Foster, Planning Director
DATE: October 22, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution PZ2021-39 – Recommending the Kenai City Council
approve and adopt the City of Kenai Land Management Plan
In 2018, City Council approved a City-wide approach to land management through the
development of the City’s first Land Management Plan. Since that time, Administration has
worked diligently to draft a Land Management Plan to inventory, evaluate, and develop
recommendations related to City-owned lands.
The City of Kenai Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan includes economic development and
land use goals and objectives to develop a land inventory and land use strategies to implement a
forward-looking approach to community growth and development. The goals of the Land
Management Plan incorporate many of these objectives and include the following:
• Provide an inventory of City-owned lands with detailed information on each parcel.
• Identify properties required for a public purpose or to meet a future public need.
• Establish recommendations for individual parcels that are surplus to the needs of the
City to assist in responsible development.
• Create a comprehensive reference document that establishes a format for developing
land management policies and procedures.
One of the City’s greatest assets is its land inventory. The City owns 369 subdivided parcels,
including wetlands, tidelands, lands surrounding the Kenai Airport, and lands suitable for a variety
of business, commercial, industrial, residential, recreational, and cultural purposes. The Land
Management Plan is an important tool to spur economic growth and improve the quality of life for
Kenai residents and is key to the long-term viability of the City.
On October 11, 2021 there was a joint work session with City Council and City Commission
Members to kick-off the review, discussion, and comment on the draft City of Kenai Land
Management Plan. In addition to additional meeting(s) with the Planning and Zoning Commission,
staff have scheduled presentations with the Airport Commission, Parks and Recreation
Commission, Beautification Committee, and Harbor Commission to solicit discussion and
comments on the draft Land Management Plan.
Please review the attached materials.

WHAT IS OUR
"WHY"
The purpose of the Land Management
Plan is to evaluate and develop
recommendations related to City-
owned lands that encourage
responsible growth and
development to support a thriving
business, residential, recreational and
cultural community. LAND MANAGEMENT PLANPage 29
Background
In 2018, the Kenai City Council approved land code
revisions as part of a City-wide approach to land
management through development of the City’s first
Land Management Plan.LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN1963In 1963, the FAA transferred
nearly 2,000 acres of land
to the City of Kenai
1975
2006
1986
In 1975, the City first
defined rules and
regulations governing
the administration of
City-owned lands
In 1981, the City began to
actively dispose of lands
and enacted ordinances to
encourage disposal
2018
In 1986, Alaska went into
recession. Land values,
land sales, and leases
declined
In 2006, the Airport
land sale and leasing
code sections were
repealed and
reenacted
In 2016, the City Council
approved a policy for the sale
of ten Airport leased lands
(amended 2018, expired 2021)
In 2018, the City Council
approved revisions to the
Airport Lands Code and as
part of a City-wide approach
to Land management In 2019, the City Council
approved revisions to the
General Fund lands CodePage 30
The City is unique in its ownership of a large and
diverse amount of public land

A SIGNIFIGANT
UNDERTAKING
A Land Management Plan provides an active
approach to management that requires an
inventory of land holdings and a comprehensive
evaluation and analysis of each parcel.
In 2018, the City hired a Temporary Lands
Technician to research each parcel of City-
owned land and enter the information into a
new Lands Database.
LAND MANAGEMENT PLANOver 567 recorded documents
were reviewed and scanned into
the database as part of this project Page 32
New City Lands Inventory and Database
LAND MANAGEMENT PLANAn examination of public records and mapping was
performed for each City-owned parcel to review and
record detailed information in the database, including:
Property Description (e.g. physical characteristics,
zoning, land use)
Facilities (e.g. parks, trails, structures, utilities)
Status (e.g. public use, under active lease,
availability for lease or sale)
Fund (e.g. Airport Fund or General Fund)
How the land was obtained (e.g. State, FAA,
Municipal Entitlement, tax foreclosure)
Encumbrances (e.g. easements, restrictions)
Page 33
Land Management Plan Objectives LAND MANAGEMENT PLANProvide an inventory of City-owned lands with
detailed information on each parcel
Identify properties required for a public purpose
or to meet a future public need
Establish recommendations for individual parcels
that are surplus to the needs of the City to assist in
responsible development.
Create a comprehensive reference document
that establishes a format for developing land
management policies and procedures.
Page 34
IMPROVED RESPONSE
TO PUBLIC
The Land Management Plan can be used to
actively manage City-owned lands in a
wholistic way as well as provide better
information to the public.
In the future, we hope to make the Plan
available on the City's interactive online
mapping tool, allowing the public to research
City-owned lands from anywhere.

City of Kenai Land Management Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Kenai has not previously adopted a Land Management Plan, and this document
presents an opportunity for the City to determine how to utilize real property owned by the City to
encourage responsible growth and development to support a thriving business, residential,
recreational, and cultural community.
In the past, decisions related to City lands have been made on a case-by-case basis or in reaction
to private development. Through the implementation of a Land Management Plan, the City can
direct which lands will be available for development and establish a successful land management
program.
The goals of the Land Management Plan include the following:
•Provide an inventory of City-owned lands with detailed information on each parcel.
•Identify properties required for a public purpose or to meet a future public need.
•Establish recommendations for individual parcels that are surplus to the needs of the
City to assist in responsible development.
•Create a comprehensive reference document that establishes a format for developing
land management policies and procedures.
In 2018, City Council approved recommended revisions to the leasing program in the Airport
Reserve and approved a City-wide approach to land management through the development of
the City’s first Land Management Plan. In 2019, the City Council approved recommended
revisions to the City’s land disposal program to include all City-owned property other than lands
within the Airport Reserve. The Land Management Plan is a result of a continued effort by City
staff involved in land management over the past two years to evaluate and develop
recommendations related to City-owned lands.
One of the City’s greatest assets is its land inventory. The City owns 369 subdivided parcels,
including wetlands, tidelands, lands surrounding the Kenai Airport, and lands suitable for a variety
of business, commercial, industrial, residential, recreational, and cultural purposes. The Land
Management Plan is an important tool to spur economic growth and improve the quality of life for
Kenai residents and is key to the long-term viability of the City.

City of Kenai Land Management Plan
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
This Land Management Plan describes all landholdings owned by the City of Kenai. The plan
contains maps that break the City into 46 different land areas, plus an additional atlas map. Each
parcel is described with basic information, summary comments, and a recommended retention
status. City Council has the ultimate authority to approve any lease, sale, or acquisition of City-
owned lands. Land disposals must meet the intent of the Kenai Municipal Code, requiring land
practices that encourage responsible growth and development to support a thriving business,
residential, recreational, and cultural community.
This section provides a brief general overview of City landholdings. Individual parcels and
subdivisions are described later in the Plan. Additional information on City landholdings may be
found in the 2016 Imagine Kenai 2030 City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan and the Airport Master
Plan, which includes an Airport Layout Plan (ALP). The City of Kenai Imagine Kenai 2030
Comprehensive Plan provides a guide for the City of Kenai’s planning and zoning responsibilities
and its role in improving the quality of life for its citizens. The Plan states that the City should
promote and encourage quality of life in Kenai, provide economic development to support the
Kenai’s fiscal health, develop land use strategies to implement a forward-looking approach to
community growth and development, provide adequate public improvements, services,
transportation systems, ensure that Kenai has excellent parks and recreational facilities and
opportunities, prepare and protect the citizens of Kenai from natural hazards and disasters, and
protect and enhance the natural resources and environment of the community. The ALP contains
a drawing set of on and off-airport property maps which identify the current and future proposed
land uses on and around the Airport.
CITY-OWNED PARCELS
The City of Kenai owns a total of 369 subdivided areas of land which the City received title from
the Federal Government of the United States, State of Alaska, Kenai Peninsula Borough, and
private donations or purchase. Of the 369 land areas, ten areas are under lease for a shore fishery,
and 359 are parcels with Kenai Peninsula Borough parcel identification numbers.
The City of Kenai received deed to approximately 2,000 acres of land surplus to the needs of the
Federal government for public airport purposes. These lands may not be used, leased, sold, or
disposed of by the City for other than airport purposes without the written consent of the FAA.
The Kenai Airport is obligated under an Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant and is subject
to sponsor obligations and grant assurances that protect the Airport’s airspace, prevent
incompatible land uses around the Airport, and require the Airport to be as self-sustaining as
possible. The Kenai Municipal Code established and provides for an Airport Reserve for the
development, expansion, maintenance, operation, protection, and perpetuation of the Kenai
Airport. City-owned land within the Airport Reserve may be leased but may not be sold.

City of Kenai Land Management Plan
FUNDS
Approximately 65 percent (239 parcels) of the City of Kenai’s landholdings are allocated to and
accounted for in the General Fund. Approximately 35 percent (130 parcels) are allocated to and
accounted for in the Airport Fund.
General Fund
The General Fund Land Sale Permanent Fund is a separate fund of the City established to
account for the principal proceeds of the sale of City-owned non-trust lands that are not subject
to deed or other conveyance restrictions that require the funds to be used for specific other
purposes (General Fund lands). Funds placed in the General Fund Land Sale Permanent Fund
are not available for use by the City for any purpose other than for investments in accordance
with City Charter and ordinances. Revenue from the rent or lease of General Fund lands is
deposited into the City’s General Fund, the City’s primary operating fund. A total of 241 properties
are designated as General Fund lands. Ten properties are under lease for shore fisheries and
seven are under lease for tidelands leases. The remaining 224 unleased parcels make up 93%
of General Fund lands.
Airport Fund
The Airport Land Sale Permanent Fund is a separate fund of the City established to account for
the principal proceeds of the sale of Airport Land. Airport Lands consist of all lands held by the
City for the use or benefit of the Kenai Municipal Airport under the terms of the 1963 Quitclaim
Deed from the United States of America as well as any other land acquired with airport funds.
Revenue from the rent or lease of Airport Fund lands is deposited into the Airport Fund, the
operating fund for the Airport, including the terminal, airfield, administration, and other buildings
and areas. A total of 189 properties are designated as Airport Lands. Within the Airport Fund, 61
of the 128 parcels are within the Airport Reserve. Parcels within the Airport Reserve may not be
sold, but they may be leased.
LEASES
Approximately 67 parcels (18 %) of the City of Kenai’s landholdings, including both General Fund
and Airport Fund lands, are under an active lease. Most of the leases are allocated to and
accounted for in the Airport Fund. Tidelands and shore fisheries leases make up most of the
leases of General Fund lands.
LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN AND OTHER CITY OF KENAI PLANS
The 2016 Imagine Kenai 2030 City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan contains the Land Use Plan.
The Land Use Plan describes a generalized pattern of existing and desirable land use for all lands
within the City. The Land Management Plan is specific to City-owned lands within the City of
Kenai. There should be alignment between the 2016 Imagine Kenai 2030 City of Kenai
Comprehensive Plan and the Land Management Plan.
LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN AND KENAI MUNICIPAL CODE
In recent years, the Kenai City Council updated sections of Code for tidelands and shore fisheries
(Title 11 – Harbor and Harbor Facilities), City-owned lands, including lands outside of the Airport
Page 60
8
City of Kenai Land Management Plan
Reserve (Title 22 – City-owned Lands), and City-owned lands within the Airport Reserve (Title 21
– City Airport Reserve Lands). All actions for lands owned by the City of Kenai must follow
appropriate sections of the Kenai Municipal Code. The Kenai City Council, in its sole discretion,
may decide to lease, sell, convey, exchange, donate, dedicate, or otherwise dispose of City-
owned property no longer required for a public purpose.
DEFINITIONS
A table under each map group shows the City of Kenai’s landholdings. The following columns in
the table contain information about each parcel:
Map Category: Gives the map number and title of the map where the parcel is shown in the Maps
section. Text describing each map group follows the table of City landholdings. Map categories
are grouped by subdivision when possible. Where grouping by subdivision is not possible, maps
are grouped by location, similar uses, and ease of map depiction.
Parcel ID: These numbers are created and assigned by the Kenai Peninsula Borough to each
parcel. The ten parcels with shore fishery leases have Parcel IDs created and assigned by the
City of Kenai, but all properties which have been assigned a Parcel ID by the Kenai Peninsula
Borough are referenced by that Parcel ID.
Physical Address: When available, the number and street address. No physical address is
included when one has not been assigned.
Legal Description: Description of property sufficient to identify it for legal purposes, including
block number, lot number, and subdivision name when applicable
Size: Given in acres. Data was pulled from the Kenai Peninsula Borough, but this data is not
assured to be totally accurate.
Facility: A building, structure, or improvement valued in excess of $35,000 owned, operated or
occupied by the City to provide service to the public.
Fund: States whether the parcel is allocated to the General Fund or Airport Fund. If a parcel is
allocated to the Airport Fund, it is specified if the parcel is inside or outside of the Airport Reserve.
Comments: Important notes related to the parcel.
Retention Status: The recommendation for each parcel, which has the following categories:
• “Dispose” means the parcel will be considered available for lease, sale, or lease with the
option to purchase. All disposals are at the discretion of the Kenai City Council and must
meet the intent of Kenai Municipal Code. Most disposals will require development on the
parcel.
• “Dispose – Lease Only” means the parcel will only be considered available for lease
without an option to purchase. If the parcel is under an active lease, this information is
included in the tables.
Page 61

City of Kenai Land Management Plan
• “Retain” means the parcel is needed for a public purpose. Some of the parcels for retention
contain public facilities, such as parks, public safety buildings, and buildings for public
recreation. Common public purposes include wetlands and beach protection, stormwater
retention areas, and locations of future public buildings. For Airport Fund lands, “Retain”
means the parcel is needed for a public purpose where the use is aviation-related or
consistent with the FAA self-sustaining requirement and does not adversely affect the
airport’s capacity, security, safety, or operations.
• “Mixed – Retain/Dispose” means some of the parcel may be appropriate for a lease or
sale, but some of the parcel is needed for a public purpose. Most commonly, a subdivision
of the parcel would be necessary to separate the portion of the property appropriate for
disposal from the area required for a public purpose.

The City leases ten areas for shore fisheries. All of the areas shown on the shore fishery lands are currently
under lease. All of the areas are towards the northern edge of the City boundary and are underwater much of
the time due to tidal fluctuations. A 1977 patent from the State of Alaska for Alaska Tidelands Survey (ATS) 272
deeded most of these tidelands lying seaward of the mean high tide line in Cook Inlet to the City.
The shore fishery lands are each under active lease for ten-year terms that include a preference right to re-lease.
The recommendation for these parcels is disposal for lease only for the use of shore fisheries. The annual rent
for shore fisheries is set forth in the City’s schedule of fees and equals the amount the State of Alaska charges
for tideland shore fishery leases. If the amount charged by the State of Alaska for shore fishery leases increases,
it is recommended the City of Kenai amend its fee for shore fishery leases to equal t he amount charged by the
State.

PARCEL ID RETENTION STATUS
03902243 Retain
The City owns one parcel (03902243) composed of two individual lots from the 1961 Bush Lanes Subdivision.
The lots were donated to the City in 2016 for the future expansion of City water and sewer facilities. Resolution
2016-39 accepting the donation notes the lot could be used as a location for a lift station or other support facilities.
The parcel's area is approximately half an acre, and it is located approximately a quarter-mile past Wildwood
Drive. The parcel has almost 267 feet of frontage on the westerly side of the Kenai Spur Highway and is within
the General Commercial Zone (CG) of the City. A City sewer line is approximately 150 feet away along the Kenai
Spur Highway. A City water line runs beneath the 20-foot alley at the rear of the parcel.
It is recommended the City retain this parcel for the public purpose of City water and sewer facilities pursuant to
Resolution 2016-39. Across the Kenai Spur Highway from this parcel is the mostly undeveloped Black Gold
Estates Subdivision. Small lot sizes without access to City water and sewer make the Black Gold Estates
Subdivision difficult to develop at this time. If market conditions create demand for housing, the use of this parcel
to expand City water and sewer lines could facilitate the development of lots in the nearby Black Gold Estates
Subdivision. Map 3. Bush Lanes Subdivision shows City-owned lots in the nearby Black Gold Estates Subdivision,
which is also depicted on Map 4.

and Wildwood Drive. A few lots in the subdivision adjacent to the Kenai Spur Highway have been developed.
Roads within the subdivision were developed initially but are unmaintained and not built to City standards. City
water and sewer are not available within the subdivision. The City owns 13 lots within the Black Gold Estates
Subdivision (03903421, 03905203, 03905204, 03905205, 03905322, 03905323, 03905324, 03905325,
03905327, 03905328, 03905329, 03905330, 03905331). Most of the City-owned lots are adjacent and off of
undeveloped Windflower Drive. The Kenai Peninsula Borough owns nine lots within the Black Gold Estates
Subdivision.
City water and sewer lines run beneath Wildwood Drive and are approximately 250 feet from several City-owned
lots on Windflower Drive. The City should strive for clear right-of-way ownership along Wildwood Drive to facilitate
future expansion of utilities. City water and sewer along the Kenai Spur Highway is farther away from the City-
owned lots. A parcel (03902243) within the Bush Lanes Subdivision across the Kenai Spur Highway was retained
by City Council Resolution 2016-39 as necessary to expand City water and sewer lines and may be useful to
bring City water and sewer to the Black Gold Estates Subdivision.
Almost all of the lots within the Black Gold Estates Subdivision are small, with the City-owned parcels being
approximately 0.17 acres (7,405 square feet). The small lot sizes make well and septic unfeasible for individual
parcels. A 2.13-acre privately-owned parcel (03903501) in the subdivision was initially designated for a proposed
well site on the 1964 subdivision plat. There is no indication a well was developed.
The Black Gold Estates Subdivision is within the Suburban Residential (RS) Zone of the City, with the exception
of a three-acre parcel owned by the Kenai Natives Association, Inc. located at the corner of the Kenai Spur
Highway and Wildwood Drive within the General Commercial Zone (GC) Zone of the City.
These parcels are recommended for disposal for residential development in conjunction with the development
of roads, water, and sewer within the Black Gold Estates Subdivision.

The Carl F. Ahlstrom Subdivision was created by a 1955 plat. The original subdivision plat created 398 lots, eight
of which are labeled “Park” and 39 are labeled “Commercial,” plus an additional three “Park” areas next to an
area labeled “Parking” adjacent to Blocks 2 and 3 that are labeled “Commercial.” The City currently owns one
large triangle-shaped parcel (03906141), three adjacent lots along Wildwood Drive (03906309, 03906310,
03906311) en route to the Wildwood Correctional Facility, and one additional lot near the corner of Redoubt
Avenue and the Kenai Spur Highway (03907009) in the Carl F. Ahlstrom Subdivision. All of the parcels are within
the Suburban Residential (RS) Zone of the City.
With the exception of a short portion of Spur Drive, the interior roads have not been constructed in the Carl F.
Ahlstrom Subdivision. Most lots in the Carl F. Ahlstrom Subdivision are treed and undeveloped. The majority of
the developed lots have frontage on Redoubt Avenue, Kenai Spur Highway, and Wildwood Drive. Commercial
uses front the Kenai Spur Highway. City water and sewer lines run beneath Wildwood Drive, Redoubt Avenue,
and parts of Spur Drive and the Kenai Spur Highway. There are no water and sewer lines beneath interior roads
in the subdivision. There are several vacant residential lots in the Black Gold Estates Subdivision to the northwest.
Lots to the east in Mommsen’s Subdivision have been mostly developed with single-family dwellings, but the
City owns several vacant lots farther east in Mommsen’s Subdivision.
The large triangle-shaped parcel (03906141) and parcel 03907009 were transferred to the City in 2001 by a
Clerk's Deed following a foreclosure action by the Kenai Peninsula Borough for 1999 property taxes. Ordinance
2057-2004 retained parcel 03906141 for a future park. It is recommended that the City Council declare this
parcel as no longer needed for a public purpose, as it is no longer necessary for a future park and would be
suitable for development as part of a broader plan for the subdivision.
The three adjacent City-owned lots (03906309, 03906310, 03906311) were retained for a future fire station site
in 1978 with Ordinance 468-78 after their acquisition through a Kenai Peninsula Borough tax foreclosure. It is
recommended the City dispose of these parcels. The development of the City no longer makes this location an
ideal place for a fire station, and it would be suitable for development as part of a broader plan for the subdivision.
Parcel 03907009 is approximately a quarter-acre in size, and development would require connection to City
water and sewer lines. The parcel is behind a developed apartment complex spanning three adjacent lots on
Redoubt Avenue. A large commercial structure is west of parcel 03907009. Disposal is recommended if the
adjacent property owners request to expand their development or if proposed development is part of a broader
plan for the subdivision.

The City owns 33 treed vacant lots of the approximately 180 lots in Mommsen’s Subdivision. All of the parcels
are zoned Suburban Residential (SR). The subdivision is accessed by Redoubt Avenue or Wildwood Drive from
the Kenai Spur Highway.
The four vacant parcels (03910208, 03910209, 03910211, 03910304) along Second Street are required by City
Ordinance 2942-2017 to be transferred by 2026 for the development of new single-family residences, which will
be connected to City water and sewer as lines run adjacent to the lots. Second Street is a paved and City-
maintained road.
Parcel 03910107, along First Street, is recommended for retention for the dedication of the road connection
between Augustine Way and First Street to provide alternate ingress/egress routes as needed to ensure public
safety and orderly development.
Page 79

City of Kenai Land Management Plan
Parcel 03913202 is the only lot within Mommsen’s subdivision owned by the City that is a large tract. It is
recommended the City retain a portion of the parcel for control of and access to the waterline extension through
the property and the ability to grant a public access or utility easement or rededicate the half right-of-way in the
future, if needed. The portion of the parcel not needed for a public purpose is suitable for development and
recommended for disposal.
Two parcels front an unmaintained part of developed California Avenue (03911015, 03911016) and should be
retained for a public purpose. The parcels have adjacent City water lines and are next to the Wildwood
Correctional Complex. Ordinance 2071-2004 declared these parcels as needed for a public purpose in
preparation for potential water service and access to the Wildwood Correctional Complex. A water line extension
and water meter for the Wildwood Correctional Complex runs through parcel 03911016. These parcels are still
necessary for a public purpose of a potential future site for a sewer lift station to support future development in
this area.
The remaining 25 City-owned parcels in Mommsen’s Subdivision should be disposed of when there is sufficient
demand for residential development in this area of Kenai and contingent upon a proposed development plan.
Three parcels on the west side of First Street are the most readily available for development, followed by nine
parcels on the west side of Third Street, followed by seven parcels on the east side of Third Street and California
Avenue, followed by six parcels along Florida Avenue and Fourth Street.
Three parcels along the west side of First Street (03910109, 03910111, 03910112) front a paved and City-
maintained road. All of the adjacent lots have single-family homes. City water and sewer lines run at the edge of
the three lots.
Nine parcels front the west side of Third Street (03910321, 03910322, 03910323, 03910324, 03910308,
03910309, 03910310, 03910311, 03910312), which is not fully constructed or maintained by the City. This
grouping of nine lots has adjacent City water and sewer lines and may be attractive to developers.
Seven parcels on the east side of Third Street (03911003, 03911009, 03911010, 03911011, 03911012,
03911013, 03911014) have adjacent City water lines only. These parcels will eventually be suitable for
development, ideally after sewer lines are constructed, and other vacant lots in Mommsen’s Subdivision have
homes. The grouping of seven lots may be attractive to developers.
Six parcels along the west side of Fourth Street (03913112, 03913113, 03913114, 03913115, 03913117,
03913118) also have adjacent City water lines. Florida Avenue and Fourth Street appear less developed than
Third Street, and these parcels are farther away from existing single-family homes in the neighborhood.

The City of Kenai owns a large 72-acre tract (Tract A, Kenai Meadows, parcel 03901065). It is accessed by
California Avenue and Redoubt Avenue. An unplatted travelway extending California Avenue and Fifth Street
runs through the parcel. City water and sewer are beneath Redoubt Avenue, and City water runs beneath the
unplatted travelways through the parcel. The tract is bounded by residential areas —Windhaven Estates
Subdivision to the east Mommsen’s Subdivision to the west. Mommsen’s Subdivision contains several lots
owned by the City of Kenai and some abut the western boundary of Tract A, Kenai Meadows. Trees on the
parcel have been affected by the spruce bark beetle outbreak in recent years. The parcel is mapped to show
surrounding subdivisions and parcels owned by the City within adjacent Mommsen’s Subdivision. When future
development of the land is undertaken, the existing travelways should be evaluated for use and need. They
should be dedicated or designed to accommodate the current and future access needs of the area that will
comply with subdivision regulations. A portion of this parcel is suitable for development and recommended for
disposal with a subdivision that would preserve needed travelways.

Map 8 shows a group of six adjacent parcels in the vicinity of the Kenai Spur Highway just past its intersection
with Evergreen Street. Three of the parcels are zoned for Recreation (R) and are associated with the Kenai
Sports Complex. There are four regulation-size soccer fields, off-street parking, picnic tables, and seasonal
portable restrooms on parcel 04301038. A federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant supported
the development of the Kenai Sports Complex on this parcel, and the 25 acres developed with grant funds must
be maintained in perpetuity for public outdoor recreation. Ordinance 2069-2004 identified parcel 04301038 and
adjacent parcels 04301033 and 04301034 as needed for a public purpose for recreational sports fields. A
preliminary site plan in the documentation for Ordinance 2069-2004 laid out a design for additional softball fields,
baseball diamonds, a BMX track, a skateboard park, and additional parking. Both parcels 04301033 and
04301034 have significant frontage on the Kenai Spur Highway and access to City water and sewer. Those
parcels border the former site of the Kenai Peninsula Borough landfill, which may limit some development
immediately adjacent to that parcel. If baseball diamonds are developed in this location, it could shift the current
location of softball and baseball diamonds in the City.
Before any development that is not for the purpose of recreational use, the City would need to review the 2004
Kenai Sports Complex development to determine if this development is still planned as well as declare the
property as not needed for a public purpose. In order to develop the 25-acre grant-restricted portion of parcel
04301038 for any purpose other than public outdoor recreation, the City would be required to replace the
converted property with land of equal or greater value and at least equivalent recreational value, and dedicate
that new property to public outdoor recreation. Retention of parcel 04301038 is recommended for community
development and is required by the LWCF grant funding that supported development.
The three parcels (04310039, 04314103, and 04314104) within the Evergreen subdivision are recommended for
disposal for uses suitable with zoning. Parcel 04310039 does not have Kenai Spur Highway frontage, is allocated
and accounted for in the General Fund, and is zoned for residential uses. It is suitable for residential development
and has access to paved and City-maintained Evergreen Street and City water and sewer. The two other City-
owned parcels in the Evergreen Subdivision (04314103 and 04314104) are zoned for commercial use. Parcel
04314103 has approximately 1,100 feet of frontage on the Kenai Spur Highway. Both parcels are allocated and
accounted for in the Airport Fund following a 1984 land exchange with the FAA. The parcels are outside of the
Airport Reserve, and a 1993 FAA Deed of Release allows the parcels to be sold subject to restrictions for air
navigation. City water and sewer are available. These parcels would be suitable for commercial development,
provided the development is compatible with the residential uses farther back from Kenai Spur Highway and
adjacent recreational uses. An easement to accommodate the existing water and sewer lines that cross parcel
04314103 would need to be established prior to disposal.

The Dena'ina Point Estates Subdivision was contracted by the City of Kenai in 1984 and created 29 tracts of
large acreage, most of which were intended for private resubdivision and development. The City currently owns
16 parcels in the subdivision. City water and sewer service extends along the Kenai Spur Highway, with two
stub-outs to the boundary of the Dena’ina Point Estates Subdivision. One stub-out is to the platted Bach Drive
and the other stub-out is to the platted Gisha Lane. The roads in the subdivision are not constr ucted, and they
are not in a layout suitable for development. A resubdivision of many of the parcels is likely necessary before
they may be developed. None of the lots have been developed with the exception of Tract A-5, which was
resubdivided along with adjoining property into the Augustine Addition along Bryson Avenue. City services are
not available to the two closest houses in that addition. Ordinances 927-84 and 1183-87 declared all of the
Dena’ina Point Estates parcels currently in City ownership as not needed for a public purpose and to be made
available for sale, with the exception of two parcels (04301029 and 04301101) to be retained for bluff erosion
protection and beach access.
Development in the Dena’ina Point Estates Subdivision will be costly due to the need to construct roads , replat
the parcels into more desirable lots, and extend City water and sewer services to the parcels. As currently
subdivided, Dena’ina Point Estates Subdivison is not conducive to development. The zoning along the Kenai
Spur Highway does not support commercial development, and the lots along an actively eroding bluff are
arguably not deep enough to support long-term residential development. Resubdivision of the existing lots into
lots that could be developed independently of each other, while considering compatibility with the surrounding
lots such as ingress/egress, utilities, and zoning appears consistent with the original intent of the subdivision and
provides an opportunity for the eventual disposal and development of the parcels. Platted road right-of-ways in
the subdivision may need to be vacated or replatted to facilitate orderly development. Parcels located closest to
City services should be prioritized for development.
The City should retain Tract G (parcel 04301029) and Tract E (parcel 04301101) to protect the Kenai bluff and
provide public beach access. A particularly good candidate for rezoning is Tract F (parcel 04301102). This parcel
is adjacent to a church, is set farther away from residential homes or potential residential homes, and is at the
eastern edge of the Dena’ina Point Estates Subdivision.
Page 93

City of Kenai Land Management Plan
Parcels 04301401, 04301402, 04301501, 04301502, and 04301804 front the Kenai Spur Highway and may be
suitable for residential or limited commercial development. This may require rezoning of lots with Kenai Spur
Highway frontage or application for a Conditional Use Permit from the City. A plat note prevents direct access
from the Kenai Spur Highway and requires a 30-foot no-cut screening easement along the Kenai Spur Highway
right-of-way for these five parcels. It may be more useful to have the screening requirement be at the rear of the
parcels in order to allow limited commercial or institutional development along the Kenai Spur Highway and
residential development further back from the Kenai Spur Highway. It may also be beneficial to allow driveway
access from the Kenai Spur Highway to prevent additional traffic in the residential neighborhood. The access
and screening easement restrictions by plat note should be reviewed, and the City should consider applying to
the Kenai Peninsula Borough for removal of those restrictions and substitute or replace them with more lot and
usage-specific restrictions. This could make all of the Kenai Spur Highway frontage lots in the Dena'ina Estates
Subdivision more desirable and provide limited commercial development that could enhance the residential
nature of surrounding lands and the remainder of this subdivision.

Parcels 04314009, 04314010, 04315011, 04315012, and 04315013 are narrow vacant, treed, and level lots
fronting the Kenai Spur Highway. They are the remainder of government lots patented to the City by the Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) in 1964 and have a variety of designated zones. All have a patent restriction to use
the lots for public park and recreational purposes only. Given the small remaining sizes of the lots an d that the
Kenai Spur Highway right-of -way covers an additional area of the parcels, this use restriction may not be feasible.
Driveways that provide access across the parcels are not in compliance with the current patent restrictions.
Parcel 04316008 carries the same restrictions but is large enough that it may be feasibly used as a park. The
Richka Creek drainage covers the eastern part of the parcel. Uplands could be suitable for development if the
patent restrictions were removed; City zoning is Conservation. The recommendation for these parcels is to
dispose once the City is able to obtain a release of the restrictions from the BLM for portions suitable for
development. The configuration of these lots makes them unsuitable for independent development, and the sale
of the property to the owners of the adjoining properties is likely the most viable option. If the restrictions cannot
be removed, memorial benches, bike or pedestrian paths, or another small park development may be appropriate.
Parcel 04316017 is at the corner of North Spruce Street and the Kenai Spur Highway. Richka Creek drainage at
the western end should be protected. The State patent requires the parcel be used for a public purpose, and the
City must adequately protect archaeological resources. Development following those stipulations is suitable for
upland areas of the parcel. City water and sewer are available. This parcel was considered as a location for a
public theater, which is a viable use of the parcel that complies with the patent restrictions. The Suburban
Residential (RS) zoning is not compatible with the existing and patent restricted use of the parcel. The
recommendation for this parcel is disposal of the portion of the property consistent with the patent requirements
for public use and protection of resources.
Parcel 04317003 is accessed from Second Avenue, and City water and sewer are available. The parcel is zoned
Suburban Residential (RS), does not have patent restrictions, and was determined as not needed for a public
purpose by Ordinance 1414-91. The parcel is suitable for development compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood character. The recommendation for this parcel is for disposal based on its desirable location in
proximity to existing development, City-maintained roads, City water and sewer, and level terrain.

The City of Kenai owns five vacant lots (04101111, 04101112, 04101113, 04101114, and 04101115) in Block
12 of Inlet Woods Subdivision Part 1. The lots are in a row on the north side of paved and City-maintained
Backwood Avenue within the Suburban Residential (SR) Zone of the City. The parcel to the north is a large 472-
acre parcel owned by the Kenai Natives Association Incorporated. Parcels to the east, west, and south are all
privately owned, with most having single-family homes. The privately-owned lots directly across the street on the
south side of Backwood Avenue are vacant. A City water line runs along paved Backwood Avenue, and a City
sewer line stops just short of the parcel from paved and City-maintained Channel Way.
A pond covers most of the area of the five City-owned parcels in the Inlet Woods Subdivision. Uplands are
available at the edges of the pond, particularly at the north and east edges. The pond receives water input from
street drainage. Storm drainage pipes enter parcel 04101115 and parcel 04101111. Ordinance 1905-2001
declared all Lots 21-25 (04101111, 04101112, 04101113, 04101114, and 04101115) as needed for street
drainage retention. Documentation for Ordinance 1905-2001 notes these parcels may also be a good site for a
potential 2.2-acre park development, possibly through using clean fill to shape and contain the pond while adding
to the usable land area. However, the parcels were not formerly set aside for park purposes. Storm drainage
continues to be a needed public use of Lots 21-25, and the recommendation for these parcels is retention for
that public purpose.

The City owns one lot (parcel 04304017) within the Kothe Subdivision that was acquired in 1972 by Warranty
Deed. The lot is small (0.21 acres) at the corner of Fourth Avenue and North Forest Drive. It is zoned Suburban
Residential (RS) and is within a developed residential neighborhood of mostly single-family dwellings. The lot is
cleared and dry with water and sewer lines running along three sides of the parcel. All or most of the lots in this
area have been developed. The City Council proposed a park at this location in 2014, and authorized
expenditures to create a green space and fencing. The property is used for snow storage.

In 1966, the City received 11 government lots by patent from the State of Alaska. Richka Creek and its associated
drainages flow through all of the lots. Richka Creek is an important drainage flowing from the large wetland
complex to the north into the Kenai River to the south. The City has retained ownership of all of the original
patented lots with the exception of Lot 11, which was subdivided to allow for disposal of the upland portion for
residential development. The portion kept by the City is Lot 11-B in the Richka Creek Subdivision (parcel
04305035). The other ten lots have not been subdivided. All 11 parcels are within the Conservation (C) Zone of
the City. The surrounding area is mainly residential development on smaller or resubdivided government lots.
Lots with Kenai Spur Highway frontage are shown on Map 10.
Lots containing parcels 04304004, 04304011, 04305035, 04308004, 04308008, 04308009, and 04312003 are
recommended for retention for the control and protection of Richka Creek drainage and associated culvert. Lot
73 (parcel 04308008) and Lot 92 (parcel 04312003) are used by the City for stormwater retention. Lots containing
parcels 04312004, 04312007, 04312008, and 04316006 have both lowland areas and uplands that may be
suitable for development and are recommended for retention of the lowland areas and disposal of the upland
areas. A subdivision would be required prior to disposal, and the zoning of these parcels should be amended
prior to any development.
Right-of-ways have not been granted for all adjacent or potential future road connections. Parcels adjacent to
North Spruce Street and Fourth Avenue have also not dedicated full right-of-ways on the plats; right-of-ways
have been granted for the parcels across the street. If the City determines that development and public safety
needs warrant an additional creek crossing, the City owns the lots on both sides of the creek that could provide
the dedication.

Map 14 shows five City-owned properties on the east and west sides of South Spruce Street. Parcel 04701025
has three separate geographic areas separated by South Spruce Street and surrounding City and privately-
owned parcels. Most of parcel 04701025 is lowlands; however, the City Wastewater Treatment Plant and public
parking are also partially located on the property. Parcel 04701008 is the largest of the five prop erties. The 45-
acre parcel contains the Little League Fields, Kenai Municipal Park, a portion of Richka Creek, and the
Wastewater Treatment Plant. Both parcel 04701025 and 04701008 are zoned Conservation (C). Due to the
varied uses on these parcels, a replat would provide for more efficient land management and would locate the
City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant on a single lot and facilities managed by Parks and Recreation on individual
lots. The recommendation for these parcels is retention for management and future expansion (if needed) of the
Wastewater Treatment Plant, protection of drainages and marine wetlands, and manageme nt of community
beachfront on Kenai North Beach and the Personal Use Fishery.
Parcels 04701018 and 04701024 were both dedicated for Park and Recreation use subject to a future land
exchange. Parcel 04701024 is zoned Conservation(C), and a drainage runs through the property. The land is
tidally influenced and not suitable for development. Parcel 04701018 is zoned Urban Residential (RU) and was
designated as not needed for a public purpose by Ordinance 0919-1984. The City has developed trail plans for
the Municipal Park Loop Corridor and continues to explore trail development that would provide trails to connect
North Beach with other parks and recreational facilities.
Parcel 04701019 is under a long-term (99-year) lease for the purpose of a shelter and crisis center.

Parcel 04318043 contains most of the float plane basin and is within the Airport Reserve. The Airport Master
Plan outlines development plans for the Kenai Municipal Airport, including the float plane basin. The four parcels
to the west were created on the plat for the Kenai Municipal Airport Float Plane Basin Replat No. 2. Of those
four parcels, parcels 04301039 and 04301041 are allocated to and accounted for in the General Fund, and
parcels 04301040 and 04301042 are allocated to and accounted for in the Airport Fund. The City owns one
parcel (04335001), allocated and accounted for in the General Fund, in the adjacent Woodland Subdivision,
directly adjacent to the City-owned parcels in the Kenai Municipal Airport Float Plane Basin Subdivision and is
shown on this map. Parcel 04101013, north of the float plane basin and outside of the Airport Reserve , was
purchased by the Airport in 2017 and is allocated to and accounted for in the Airport Fund and reserved for
airport purposes by Ordinance 2937-2017.
The recommendation for these parcels is to retain portions for Airfield use as well as future development of the
Floatplane Basin and protection of the wetlands, drainages, and Richka Creek. This includes retention of parcel
04335001 in the Woodland Subdivision for park and recreation purposes as specified by Ordinance 903-1983.
Parcels 04301040 and 04301042 are treed uplands and parcel 04318043 contains some uplands that may be
suitable for lease. Portions of parcels 04101013, 04301039, and 04301042 near the float plane basin are uplands
that may be suitable for pedestrian trails for wildlife viewing and recreational hiking , but may have revenue-
producing potential if found suitable for commercial development. Any development under a lease of any portion
of parcels 04101013, 04301040, 04301042 or 04318043 would require the written consent of the FAA, and any
development of these parcels would require a subdivision and rezoning for airport or industrial purposes. It is
recommended that screening be a requirement of the development plan for any commercial development
adjacent to residential development.
The Rural Residential (RR) zoning of some of the parcels may not be suitable, particularly if their location near
the float plane basin would lend to commercial or Airport-related industrial development. This particularly stands
out for the treed upland parcels closest to the float plane basin that are allocated to and accounted for in the
Airport Fund (04301040 and 04301042). The residential zoning of the Woodland Subdivision parcel (04335001)
also does not reflect its retention by ordinance for parks and recreation.

All of these five parcels (04101004, 04101021, 04101022, 04318044, 04501056) are within the Airport Reserve
and together compose the runway for the Kenai Municipal Airport. The City’s water storage tank resides on the
west side of parcel 04318044, and the Water and Sewer Fund pays the Airport annual rent for use of the area
where the storage tank resides. The recommendation is to retain these parcels for Airport facilities and purposes.
However, four of the five parcels (04101021, 04101022, 04318044, 04501056) have revenue-producing potential
on the portions of the parcels not needed for airport operations and are recommended for disposal for lease-
only. Any development under a lease of any portion of these parcels would require the written consent of the
FAA, and any development of these parcels would require a subdivision. The Kenai Industrial Park Subdivision
and vacant lots along North Willow Street may be developed first and until a need for additional airport-related
lots arises. However, these larger lots provide access to the airport apron and are suitable for development after
a subdivision. In particular, parcel 04318044 is an awkward layout, and leasable lots may be carved out of the
trailing eastern part of the parcel. Any development of lease lots within the Airport Reserve would need to be in
conformance with the most recent FAA-approved Airport Layout Plan (ALP).
North Willow Street and Marathon Road rights-of-way need to be dedicated on plats that do not have them, and
it is recommended the section line easement that crosses the runway be vacated as part of a larger project to
review all section line easements affecting City lands. Some of the parcels have extensive wetlands and wildlife
habitats that require protection. Parcel 04318044 contains a segment of Ryan’s Creek trail that is recommended
for retention for development or extension of the Ryan’s Creek trail as a City enhancement to Kenai Municipal
Airport. An overall plan for this area and phased approach to address unsubdivided remainder lots and vacation
of existing easements would require the written consent of the FAA and is recommended to address the variety
of uses and future needs of the Airport and to encourage development of areas available for lease.

Parcels 04317037 and 04317038 are the site of the Kenai Municipal Cemetery located within the Airport Reserve
Runway Protection Zone (RPZ). Parcel 04317038 was patented to the State of Alaska by BLM and deeded to
the City subject to unrestricted public use and access with a reversionary clause. Parcel 04317037 was acquired
by the City through condemnation. These parcels, zoned Airport Light Industrial (ALI), are recommended for
retention for the cemetery, which is compliant with the use restrictions in the RPZ.
The remaining parcels on the map, except for parcel 04317027, are within the Gusty Subdivision. The Gusty
Subdivision is south of the Kenai Municipal Airport, outside the Airport Reserve boundary, with several lots
fronting the Kenai Spur Highway and Coral Street. Several lot s are leased or are available for lease. Parcel
04317027 is in the Suburban Residential (RS) zone and Ordinance 3149-2020 authorized acquisition of this
property within the Runway Protection Zone from a private land owner utilizing an FAA grant to minimize noise,
visual, light and weather emissions and impacts and is recommended for retention.
Parcels 04327010 and 04327015 are under long-term leases, and Resolution 2016-32 provided the lessees the
option to purchase the leased property from the City through July 6, 2021, subject to Council approval. Parcels
04327021 and 04327035 on the west side of Coral Street are within the RPZ are under short-term (five-year)
leases with a 90-day cancellation clause. Any future lease of the parcels would require the written consent of the
FAA.
Parcels 04327030, 04327031, and 04327032 on the east side of Coral Street are within the Airport Reserve
boundary and require the written consent of the FAA to lease. These three parcels have been used for
nonaviation purposes under a Special Use Permit for truck and trailer storage. A portion of parcel 04327032 is
within the RPZ, and it is recommended that continued compatibility with parking for the Softball Greenstrip be
ensured for all three parcels.
Parcels 04327019, 04327020, and 04327029 are treed and level lots fronting the east side of the Kenai Spur
Highway, although direct access to the highway is not guaranteed due to a plat note that states double frontage
Page 127

City of Kenai Land Management Plan
lots are restricted to one access only. City water is available but City sewer is not. These parcels have been
released by the FAA for long-term lease, but a sale would require the written consent of the FAA. It is
recommended the City petition the Borough for removal of such restrictive plat notes on all City-owned property.
Parcels 04716001 and 04716002 are mostly treed lots fronting the west side of the Kenai Spur Highway. City
water and sewer are not available to these two lots that fall within the Central Mixed Use (CMU) Zone and outside
the Airport Reserve. A 1986 Deed of Release from the FAA allows for lease or sale of these parcels, and they
are recommended for disposal to encourage development.
Parcels 04327033 and 04327034 are accessed from Coral Street and have City water available but no City
sewer service. Both parcels are within the Airport Reserve and part of both parcels are within the RPZ, which
limits their allowed uses. Parcel 04327033 is the location of a City-operated outdoor skateboard/BMX park within
a fenced area and is recommended for retention. Parcel 04327034 has an easement and steep terrain on a
portion of the parcel that limits the area suitable for development. These parcels are in the Airport Light Industrial
(ALI) zone and parcel 04327034 is recommended for disposal for lease-only, which would require the written
consent of the FAA.
Parcel 04327014 is a cleared lot in the area of the baseball fields and a City park with Kenai Spur Highway
frontage, access from Cohoe Avenue at the rear, and City water and sewer. This parcel is located outside of the
Airport Reserve in the Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) zone and is recommended for disposal for lease or sale;
however, the property has only been released by the FAA for lease, and a sale would require the written consent
of the FAA.
A 1973 Deed of Release from the FAA allowed for the lease or sale of parcel 04716005, and it is recommended
for retention as the site of the Kenai Visitor and Cultural Center and Moosemeat John Cabin.
Parcel 04327036 contains the Softball Greenstrip, which includes a playground, picnic shelters, restrooms, four
adult softball fields, community garden plots and parking, and the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) hangar and tie downs.
Parcel 04327036 also contains two constructed but not dedicated road segments of First Avenue and Cohoe
Avenue and a drainage flows through the parcel. A large portion of this parcel is in the Runway Protection Zone,
which limits its uses; however, a replat to dedicate the constructed road rights-of-way and separate the various
uses would also allow for the lease of a portion of the parcel. A lease would require the written consent of the
FAA.

The City owns three adjacent parcels that are paved and compose Frontage Road and a parking area. The
parcels are just south of a grassy strip near the Kenai Spur Highway. The largest parcel, Tract 1 (04706129), is
labeled “to be dedicated to public use” on the 1981 replat of the Subdivision. The 1981 replat of Frontage Road
Subdivision was of Government Lot 13 and portions of the Philip Wilson Homestead, patented in 1950. The
replat was completed in conjunction with the Frontage Road improvement project. Tract 1 (04706129) was
retained by the City. Tract 3 (04706134) and Tract 5 (04706133) extended into the proposed Frontage Road
improvement area and were purchased by the City from the homestead property. These two small tracts may
have been created to have legally separate land areas in order to facilitate their individual transfers to the City
from the original lot owners.
It is recommended that the City retain and join all three tracts and dedicate them to the public right-of-way to
avoid confusion with Frontage Road being composed of three separate parcels. This may require the written
consent of the FAA for parcel 04706129 to nonaeronautical use for the purpose of transit projects and systems
and working with the Kenai Peninsula Borough to determine if a replat is required or if the clarification of
dedication could be accomplished by a recorded document. The desired result would be a dedicated right-of-
way with no separately identified tax parcels. This would enable the City to remove three parcels from the land
inventory and clarify a dedication.

All of these parcels are within the Townsite Historic (TSH) District and are recommended for retention for beach
access, dune restoration, parks and recreation, bluff stabilization, and/or wetlands protection. Several of the
parcels are adjacent to the Meeks Trail, a pedestrian walking trail that is within the right-of-way of unconstructed
Inlet Street. Legislation retaining this group of parcels for public purposes includes Ordinances 2057-2004, 2388-
2015, and 2980-2017 and Resolutions 76-23 and 2012-55.
It is recommended that any development on these parcels ensures public safety, protection of sensitive dune
and wetland habitat, public access to North Beach, and protection of the scenic character of the TSH District.
City sewer lines run beneath Kenai Avenue. The protection of sensitive beach habitat is the priority for these
parcels.

04710311, 04710318, and 04710320 for bluff stabilization. Parcel 04709305 was retained by the City to develop
a water and sewer project and is also needed for bluff stabilization. A sanitary sewer line crosses a corner of the

and City facilities. Parcel 04709307 is the site of Erik Hansen Scout Park. The terms of the land donation require
the property to be used and maintained as a park. The park has interpretive displays, benches, “The Boy Scout”
replica statue, and a viewing telescope to look out over North Beach and Cook Inlet. Parcel 04710105 has two
active leases. One is to the Kenai Historical Society and another is to the Peninsula Art Guild for the Kenai Fine
Arts Center. There are also five historic log cabins and Old Town Park, a fenced neighborhood park with a
playground, half-court basketball, and picnic shelter, located on the parcel. Parcel 04710106 provides parking
for the adjacent lot.
Parcel 04706119 is a small corner lot at the intersection of Broad Street and Peninsula Avenue. City water and
sewer are available and the surrounding parcels are developed. The parcel is not needed for a public purpose

It is recommended that the majority of these parcels be retained for beach access, parks and recreation, dune
restoration, stabilization of bluff erosion, wetlands protection, and/or future water and sewer utility expansion.
The topography of parcels 04711602, 04711901, 04711902, 04711903, 04711502, 04711503, 04711909, and
04711911 make them likely to be unsuitable for any use other than the bluff stabilization project. Legislation
retaining this group of parcels for public purposes related to the bluff stabilization project includes Ordinance
2791-2014 and Resolutions 2017-65, 2017-66, 2017-72, 2018-16, 2019-08, and 2020-03. These lots are
recommended for retention as the size and status of the upland area will not be known until the bluff stabilization
project is complete and the stability of the erosion after the angle of repose is reached.
Parcels 04711308, 04711309, 04711310, 04711311, and 04711312 are small adjacent lots along Peninsula
Avenue that the City acquired through foreclosure. Ordinance 2791-2014 retained these lots for the public
purpose of bluff erosion control and then for parks and recreation. These lots are in the Central Commercial (CC)
Zone and are recommended for disposal once the bluff stabilization project is completed as use of the lots for a
park or other public purposes may not be the most advantageous to the City due to the proximity of several
existing parks and that these lots are appropriate for concentrated commercial development in walkable area
with limited available lands.

The FBO Subdivision contains parcels along North Willow Street. The parcels are located within the Airport
Reserve and may be leased but cannot be sold. Most of the City-owned parcels along North Willow Street have
access to the Kenai Municipal Airport apron. Parcels with apron access are zoned Airport Light Industrial (ALI),
and all other parcels are zoned Light Industrial (IL).
Parcel 04336035 contains the City of Kenai Animal Shelter, which was built with Airport funds with the provision
that if the building is ever needed for an aviation-related purpose, the Animal Shelter would be relocated. The
City’s General Fund pays fair market value for use of the parcel and an annual payment for the construction
value of the shelter. It is recommended this parcel be retained for use for the Animal Shelter as this non-aviation
use does not adversely affect the airport’s capacity, security, safety, or operations.
Parcel 04336001 contains multiple City storage buildings and Parks and Recreation offices. Parcel 04336039 is
the site of the Airport Rescue and Firefighting/ Snow Removal Equipment (ARFF/SRE) and airport maintenance
facilities.
Ordinance 1024-85 retained parcels 04336002, 04336003, and 04336004 for Airport vehicle parking, and parcel
04336002 is cleared and utilized for Airport overflow parking . The other two parcels (04336003 and 04336004)
are mostly treed and would be suitable for lease compatible with the development of additional Airport overflow
parking in the future. Any non-airport use of these parcels would require the written consent of the FAA.
Parcels 04336018, 04336024, 04336028, 04336029, 04336033, 04336038, 04336040, 04336046, 04336047,
04336048 are under active, long-term lease. It is recommended that the City continue to monitor the lease lots
to ensure compliance with lease terms and FAA restrictions.
Parcels 04336034, 04336036, 0433037, 04336043, and 04336049 are recommended for lease only. Any non-
airport use of these parcels would require the written consent of the FAA. Parcels 04336034 and 04336036 are
treed and level, with a portion of parcel 04336034 including a clearing commonly associated with wetlands. It is
Page 153
101
City of Kenai Land Management Plan
recommended that the wetland status be determined and all necessary local, state and federal permits be
obtained prior to any development on this parcel. Parcel 04336043 is treed and level, and 04336049 is cleared
and level; both parcels have frontage on North Willow Street and the airport apron.

Map 23 shows City-owned lands surrounding the Trading Bay Road portion of the Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park
(CIIAP) Subdivision. It is recommended that parcels 04339026 and 04339027 be retained. Retention of these
parcels would not adversely affect the airport’s capacity, security, safety, or operations, and the location of Ryan’s
Creek and shape of the parcels make them unusable for commercial development. The Bernie Huss
Memorial/Ryan’s Creek Trail developed adjacent to the creek is located on these parcels near the Airport terminal,
and they are both zoned Conservation (C).
Three parcels are under active leases. Parcel 04323013 is leased through 2029 to the Alaska State Court
System for parking. Parcels 04323017 and 04323031* are both leased to 2022. Resolution 2016-32 provided
the existing lessees of parcels 04323017 and 04323031 an option to purchase the leased land from the City
through July 6, 2021, subject to Council approval.
Parcels 04323014 and 04322023 are located outside the Airport Reserve, and a 1973 Deed of Release allows
for the properties to be leased or sold for non-airport use to benefit the Airport. The location, developed access,
proximity to the Airport, and available City services enhance the development potential for these parcels, and
they are recommended for disposal by lease or sale. Parcel 04323014 was subject to a diesel contamination
clean-up in 1997, and groundwater monitoring wells were decommissioned in 2009. Parcel 04322023 contains
an institutional control restriction from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) following
a 2005 clean-up of a 1989 spill due to contaminated soils that could not be remediated. In addition, some of the
monitoring wells have been transferred to the City of Kenai.
Parcels 04322008, 04322020, and 04322021 are within the Airport Reserve and may not be sold; however, a
1973 Deed of Release allows for the properties to be leased for non-airport use to benefit the Airport. These
parcels are zoned Central Mixed Use (CMU) and are located in a central location near the Kenai Municipal
Airport on a paved road with City water and sewer services available.
Parcel 04322021 has development in the right-of-way from a past lessee. It is recommended that private use of
the public right-of-way east of this lot be resolved or the right-of-way be petitioned for vacation.

Map 25 shows the two parcels (04338001 and 04338002) owned by the City within the Alyeska Subdivision.
Map 25 also shows five parcels owned by the City that compose Tract C (04339006) and Tract D (04339007) of
Kenai Spur Airport Lease Property and subdivided Tract A that is now Tract A-1 (04339052), Tract A-2
(04339053), and Tract A-3 (04339054) of Kenai Spur Airport Lease Property City Gate Addition.
It is recommended that both parcels in the Alyeska Subdivision (04338001 and a portion of 04338002) be
retained by the City to protect and manage Ryan’s Creek drainage and the Bernie Huss Trail that runs along
Ryan’s Creek. However, part of parcel 04338002 has approximately 400 feet of Kenai Spur Highway frontage
and may be suitable for development with a subdivision. It is also recommended that Tract D of Kenai Spur
Airport Lease Property (04339007) be retained as it contains a segment of the Bernie Huss Memorial Trail along
Ryan’s Creek near the airport as well as a nine-hole disc golf course and has a plat reservation for public use,
greenbelt, drainage and utility purposes. Retention of these parcels would not adversely affect the airport’s
capacity, security, safety, or operations, and the location of Ryan’s Creek and shape of the parcels make them
unusable for commercial development.
Tract C of Kenai Spur Airport Lease Property (04339006) should be retained by the City for public use, driveway,
and utility purposes as designated by a plat note. The parcel provides the sole legal access for Tract A-2
(04339053), and it is not suitable for commercial development. Tracts A-1 (04339052) and A-2 (04339053) are
under long-term leases through 2028 and 2031 for a pipeline valve and gas utilities. Tract A-3 (04339054) is
recommended for lease or sale and has City water and sewer available. Tract A-3 (04339054) is a small parcel
in a prominent location with corner lot frontage. A 1978 subdivision carried restrictive plat notes that reserve the
lot for a public use greenbelt, drainage, and utility purposes as well as subject the lot to a 25-foot building setback
along all dedicated rights-of-way. These plat notes were carried forward to the 2012 plat, and it is recommended
that the City petition the Borough for removal of these restrictions that limit the development area on the small
parcel.

The City owns six parcels in the Fidalgo Commercial Center Subdivision. Five of the six parcels contain City
facilities and buildings.
In Block 3 of the Fidalgo Commercial Center Subdivision, Lot 7 (04337001), Lot 6 (04337002), Lot 4 (04337004),
and Lot 3 (04337005) contain a portion of the Kenai Recreation Center building. The structure was built in 1981.
It is recommended that the four separate lots be retained for a public purpose and replatted into one lot to resolve
the encroachment of the building and for ease of land/facility management and inventory. Bidarka Street is on
the east, and Caviar Street is on the west side of the Recreation Center.
The parcel described as Tract A, Block 1 of the Fidalgo Commercial Center Subdivision (04332036) has three
City buildings. A 2008 replat combined 11 lots from a 1968 subdivision into one large lot in order to resolve non-
compliance issues resulting from municipal buildings constructed over lot lines. The three City buildings on the
single lot are the Public Safety Building, City Hall, and the Kenai Community Library. It is bounded by Main Street
Loop Road, Fidalgo Avenue, and South Willow Street. This parcel is recommended to be retained for a public
purpose.
The parcel described as Lot 7, Block 2 of the Fidalgo Commercial Center Subdivision (04331022) is under a
long-term lease through 2077. The lease does not require commercial development, and the lot is currently
cleared and vacant. The land containing this parcel was deeded to the City by the FAA in 1964 with airport
restrictions, and a 1982 Deed of Release allowed the parcel to be leased or sold for non-airport purposes to
benefit the airport. Surrounded by lots which were sold under the conditions of the Deed of Release, this is the
sole parcel in this block that is still owned and leased by the City. Ordinance 0915-1984 declared the parcel as
not needed for a public purpose. It is recommended the City encourage development of the vacant parcel.

The City owns six parcels in the center of town within the Etolin Subdivision. Parcel 04333001 was created by a
1973 plat demarking the Etolin Subdivision Addition No. 2, and the other parcels were created from a 1985 plat
demarking the Etolin Subdivision Addition No. 3. A section line easement has been vacated that originally
crossed some of the City-owned lots. Deeds of release from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) state
non-objection to sale or lease for non-aeronautical uses or non-governmental uses.
Two of the six parcels are under a long-term lease to operate Preferred Plumbing and Heating and an associated
storage building for the business. The parcels are described as Lot 10 (04333006) and Lot 11 (04333007).
Resolution 2016-32 provided the lessee an option to purchase the parcels through July 6, 2021, subject to
Council approval.
The remaining four parcels were deeded to the City by the FAA in 1964 with airport restrictions, and a 1967
Deed of Release and written consent of the FAA allows for the lease or sale of the properties for non-airport
purposes. The parcels are zoned Central Mixed Use (CMU) and are recommended for lease or sale with
commercial development as required by City Code. Lot 8 (04333001) is a 1.76-acre corner lot with frontage on
Main Street Loop Road and South Willow Street. Lot 12 (04333008), Lot 13 (04333009), and Lot 14 (04333010)
front Main Street Loop Road and are approximately 1.0 to 1.5 acres in size. All of the available vacant lots are
mostly treed except for Lot 14 (04333010), which is mostly cleared. City water is available to the lots , and City
sewer is readily available to most of the lots.

Vintage Pointe senior housing are located on parcel 04705510. Leif Hanson Memorial Park is located on parcel
04705101. A gazebo associated with the scenic bluff overlook is on parcel 04705806. Parts of parcels 04705506,
04705602, 04705701, and 04705806 have steeply eroded bluffs and are part of the eastern end of the bluff
stabilization project.
Resolution 2002-02 designated parcels 04705602, 04705805, and 04705807 as Millennium Square and
Ordinance 2030-2003 established a three-year task force to consider economic development of Millennium
Square. Millennium Square was proposed in the mid-2000's to include eventual development of parks, a hotel,
a market area and parking. Parcel 04705602 has been developed with a scenic bluff overlook, grassy public
area, and parking lot. The parcel is zoned Central Mixed Use (CMU) and Ordinance 1671-1996 determined that
a portion of the tract was suitable for lease or sale. It is recommended that a portion of parcel 04705602 and
parcels 04705807 and 04705805 be retained for Millennium Square. A five-acre portion of parcel 04705602
along Bridge Access Road would be suitable for development and would not preclude the development of a
future town square and is recommended for lease or sale.
Parcels 04705501*, 04705506, and 0470806 were deeded to the City by the FAA with Airport restrictions. A
1966 Deed of Release allows for the lease or sale of Parcel 04705501, which is under a long-term lease.
Resolution 2016-32 provided the lessee an option to purchase the parcels through July 6, 2021, subject to
Council approval.* Parcel 0470806 and a portion of 04705506 are recommended for retention for the bluff
stabilization project and park purposes, and retention of these properties would not adversely affect the
airport’s capacity, security, safety, or operations, and the location. Ryan’s Creek and associated lowlands flow
through part of parcel 04705506. Uplands on parcel 04705506 could potentially be subdivided into parcels for
development or added to adjacent parcels for private development. Any proposed development under a lease
would require the written consent of the FAA.

The City owns 19 adjacent lots in the Kenai Industrial Park Subdivision created by a 2012 plat. These properties
were deeded to the City by the FAA with Airport restrictions. A 2020 Deed of Release allows for the lease or sale
of these properties for non-airport use. The subdivision is near the Kenai Spur Highway and Kenai Municipal
Airport, and is located off the graveled Marathon Road so industrial traffic would not have to pass through other
areas of conflicting uses. The intention was to fully develop the subdivision with paved roads and City water and
sewer to each lot to meet a need for industrial users. Water and sewer service extend only to the southern eight
lots. The lots in the subdivision are located outside the Airport Reserve and range from a little over one to 7.6
acres in size and are zoned Light Industrial (IL). Information from HEA indicates a service line is only extended
to the south portion of Commercial Loop, between Lots 10 and 11 (04501046 and 04501047) and 12 and 13
(04501048 and 04501049). Lots 6 and 7 (04501042 and 04501043) appear to have access to this service. City
water and sewer is available to Lot 6 (04501042), Lot 7 (04501043), Lot 9 (04501045), Lot 10 (04501046), Lot
11 (04501047), Lot 12 (04501048), and Lot 13 (04501049). It is recommended that the City actively pursue
leases for the southerly parcels served by City water and sewer in an initial leasing phase. Lot 8 (04501044) is
the only currently leased parcel in the Kenai Industrial Park Subdivision, with a 30-year lease through 2043.

City water and sewer run beneath Marathon Road, Magic Avenue, and most of the constructed loop of
Daubenspeck Circle. The Baron Park subdivision includes Daubenspeck Family Park, the new City Shop, the
Kenai Dog Park (under construction) and the Alaska Regional Fire Training Facility. It is recommended that the
parcels containing City facilities be retained (04501059, 04501058, 04501062). The Daubenspeck Park parcel
is within the Light Industrial (IL) Zone and could be amended by the City to better reflect its intended use.
The Kenai Industrial Park Subdivision is to the north and has smaller lots. Properties within the Baron Park
Subdivision were deeded to the City by the FAA with Airport restrictions; however various deeds of release allow
for the lease or sale for non-airport use. Tract A1 (04501031) is a 13-acre treed vacant lot within the Airport
Reserve. The lot is suitable for commercial or industrial development and is recommended for disposal. Tract
B1 (04501030) and Tract 4A (04501061) are treed vacant lots outside of the Airport Reserve suitable for
commercial or industrial development. The City should ensure access to Ryan’s Creek Trail on Tract B1
(04501030) is maintained if development were to occur on that parcel. Tract 3A (04501060) is an approximately
5.5-acre parcel that is partially cleared and improved and suitable for commercial or industrial development. The
parcel has a large gravel pad and the remaining structures from the former University of Alaska fire training
facility.
Resolution 2019-54 and 55 designated management authority for tracts in Baron Park subdivision 2012 Addition
and preceded a subdivision completed in 2020 amending the plat to dedicate the existing loop configuration of
Daubenspeck Circle, add the site of the Kenai Dog Park on Tract 4 (04501035) to Daubenspeck Park on Tract
5A (04501062), and remove a communication tower from the Alaska Regional Fire Training facility parcel
(04501058).

Map 31 shows four parcels with Kenai Spur Highway frontage near the middle of the City. It is recommended
parcels 04501023 and 04501022, zoned Education (ED), be retained for a public purpose as the sites of the
existing Kenai Multi-Purpose Facility (ice rink) and the Challenger Learning Center, respectively. The properties
were deeded to the City by the Kenai Peninsula Borough in 1999 subject to use for government purposes,
including future school sites and sites for service area facilities. The Challenger Learning Center for Space
Technology was constructed with NASA grant funds, and the land is under a long-term lease for operation of the
Center.
Parcel 04501057 was deeded to the City by the FAA with Airport restrictions and contains drainages and
associated wetlands throughout much of the parcel. However, upland portions of the parcel along the Kenai Spur
Highway may be suitable for development after a subdivision is completed. Any proposed development under a
lease or sale would require the written consent of the FAA. City water and sewer are available along Princess
Street. If a subdivision is contemplated, it is recommended the entire parcel be analyzed and a single subdivision
separate all of the usable property at one time and it be rezoned from Conservation (C).
Parcel 04501003 has approximately 2,600 feet of frontage on the Kenai Spur Highway. It also fronts Rogers
Road, Walker Lane, and Lawton Drive. Water and sewer are available to the parcel. This is a portion of the
property deeded to the City by the FAA with Airport restrictions. A 1983 Deed of Release allows for the lease or
sale of the property for non-airport use. Originally subject to a split zone of Conservation (C) and Suburban
Residential (RS), the City rezoned the entire parcel Conservation (C) in 1984. Currently, the parcel is vacant and
a portion of the parcel is being maintained by Parks and Recreation as the “Field of Flowers.” The parcel has a
high fair market value because of the prominent frontage along the Kenai Spur Highway. It is recommended the
parcel be subdivided and rezoned for commercial use. It is recommended that screening be a requirement of
the development plan for the southern portion of the parcel.

Parcels 04705205 and 04705215 are small lots across from each other at the corner of Sprucewood Road and
Tern Avenue. The properties were originally deeded to the City by the FAA with Airport restrictions before a 1984
Deed of Release allowed for the sale of the properties, which were conveyed back to the City by a 1990 Clerk’s
Deed. Eight of the ten small privately-owned lots in the subdivision are developed with multi-family structures.
Current zoning is General Commercial (CG). Ordinance 1928-2001 declared the lots as not needed for a public
purpose, and they are recommended for disposal. A development compatible and within walking distance to the
multi-family housing unit may be appropriate for the parcels, or, due to the small size of the lot combined with
setbacks they may be appropriate for purchase by adjacent landowners.
Parcel 04705216 is a long and narrow lot created by a 1978 subdivision. The travel way from Walker Lane
entering commercial development to the west crosses the parcel and should be dedicated on the plat. Current
zoning is General Commercial (CG), and the portion of the parcel north of the travel way facing the Kenai Spur
Highway could be subdivided and would be appropriate for disposal and commercial development. The portion
of the parcel south of the travel way is almost entirely encumbered by a transmission line and associated
easements and is recommended to be retained by the City.

The City owns two adjacent parcels (04506006 and 04506008) that border the property that contains the Kenai
Middle School and have frontage on the Kenai Spur Highway. Both parcels are within the Education (ED) Zone
of the City. The parcels size and location may make them suitable for future expansion of Kenai Middle School,
and they are recommended for disposal. A land exchange with the Kenai Peninsula Borough may be appropriate.
The Borough owns the adjacent parcel which is the location of the Kenai Middle School as well as the vacant
lots to the east of the City-owned parcels.
The City owns one parcel (04513025) within the Kaknu Korners Subdivision. Ordinance 1939-2001 retained this
parcel for a park. However, a park has not been developed on the small lot surrounded by single-family homes
without easy central access from a busier street. Kenai Middle School is to the west across North Tinker Lane
and has recreational facilities. The parcel is within the Suburban Residential (RS) Zone and City water and sewer
are available along Kulila Place. This parcel is suited for residential development and is recommended for
disposal.
For all three parcels shown on this map, prior to disposal, the City Council would need to declare these properties
as not needed for a public purpose as the lots were retained by Ordinance 2057-2004 and 1939-2001.

This map includes a cleared 0.31-acre parcel (04521047) located at the end of a residential cul-de-sac. The
parcel was deeded to the City by a private citizen in 1983. The deed required the parcel to be used as a public
park for 20 years, a restriction that expired in 2003 and was not extended. Kiana Lane to the south of the parcel
is platted, but not developed.
Mountain View Elementary School is located approximately 330 feet to the east; there is no developed access
between the parcel and the school. There is residential development along Aliak Drive, Blarney Circle and
Brannigan Circle located near the parcel. Numerous 2.5-acre government lots lie to the south and east. At some
point in the future, those lots may be subdivided and the residential development may grow. City water and
sewer service has been extended down Roy Way to the end of the cul-de-sac. This parcel is the only one on
Roy Way not developed with a single-family residence and it is not needed for a public park. It is recommended
for disposal.

Map 35 shows six parcels owned by the City of Kenai at and around South Beach. Much of the land is tidal flats,
beaches, estuarine, and marine wetlands, and is not suitable for development. It is recommended the largest
parcel (04910054), comprising of 238 acres, and parcel 04910105 that are not suitable for development, be
retained by the City for a public purpose. South Beach receives seasonal peaks in use for the personal use
dipnet fishery. The beach is also used by residents for recreation and the tidal flats provide wildlife habitat and
waterfowl hunting grounds. Parcel 04910106 is under a long-term lease and has a fish processing plant operating
on the premises.
The southern part of parcel 04910108 adjacent to Sea Catch Drive and the southern part of parcel 04910053 as
well as 04910107 may be suitable for limited development on a portion of the properties if permitting is able to
be obtained. Parcel 04910107 is designated by Ordinance 894-83 as available for lease or sale, but it may
benefit the City to retain ownership of the parcel and control over the valuable tidal flats. A lease-only disposal
would provide the City this control. Parcels 04910108, 04910107, and 04910053 are recommended for retention
of the tidal and wetland areas for public purposes and disposal by lease-only of the areas suitable for
development after a subdivision is completed.

Map 36 shows eight parcels south of Bridge Access Road near the mouth of the Kenai River where it meets
Cook Inlet. These parcels are currently zoned Heavy Industrial (IH). Parcel 04901124 is composed of two
different polygon areas. The City of Kenai Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan states that the City should
develop land use strategies to implement a forward-looking approach to community growth and development
and specifically identifies the waterfront adjacent to the Bridge Access Road beginning at Millennium Square to
the City dock as an area for revitalization. All of the parcels shown on Map 36 fall within an area identified as the
Kenai Waterfront Revitalization Area that presents a transformative opportunity the City is evaluating through a
proposed project and initiative beginning with a Work Session held on August 4, 2021. Depending on the
outcome of this initiative, redevelopment strategies and concepts to revitalize and incentivize development of
the area and recommendations for any necessary zoning or development code changes may guide
redevelopment of the area in the future.
The City has correspondence on file related to the u-shaped 20-foot access road and will continue to pursue
transfer of ownership to the City for a more economical use of the parcel. Six of the parcels have leases of
tidelands for commercial fishing dock facilities, fish processing, and associated accessory structures and parking.
Parcels 04901124, 04901130, 04901131, 04901404, 04901132, and 04901403 are under long-term leases.
Some of these parcels use driveways on property not owned by the City and legal access should be maintained
to the parcels in the future.
Parcel 04901121 was created for a proposed floating dock lease in 1988 that was never finalized. This
submerged tideland parcel is recommended for lease as long as the proposed development is not too close to
the channel and aligned with adjacent uses. Parcel 04901125 may be suitable for ship mooring. Mooring buoys
are not permitted in Kenai River by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the City. It is recommended that the
City retain tidal and submerged tidelands other than those lands recommended for disposal for lease only.

It is recommended that all of the six parcels shown on Map 37 on the north bank of the Kenai River along Bridge
Access Road and Boat Launch Road (parcel 04945004 and 0495009) be retained by the City for public use and
access to the City Dock (parcel 04945002) and Tarbox Wildlife Viewing Platform (parcel 04945003) as well as
wetland protection, scenic views, and wildlife habitat. The parcels to the north are similarly zoned Heavy
Industrial (IH) and more suitable for development with docks, canneries, and fish processing; these parcels have
much greater importance to the viewshed and have more wetlands between the road right-of-way and the Kenai
River mouth. The Kenai City Dock is the southernmost dock in a stretch of development that is mostly shown on
Map 36. Bridge Access Road Tidelands to the north. Bridge Access Road offers sweeping views, which can be
seen from the Kenai Wildlife Viewing Platform, across the Kenai River Flats, a portion of which are located on
parcel 04945005 and the 600-acre parcel located on both sides of Bridge Access Road on the north side of the
Kenai River (04910014) and Cook Inlet. This area has been traditionally used by waterfowl hunters and provides
unique access opportunities for hunting in the fall months. The entire parcel is valuable for river health, wildlife
habitat, tourism enhancement, and quality of life for residents. The City could add compatible recreational
amenities and City Dock amenities.

Map 38 shows six City-owned parcels that are north of Bridge Access Road. Lawton Drive is north of the parcels.
All six parcels are lowlands and provide valuable wildlife habitat and wetland protection; however, the southern
portion of parcel 04901016, currently zoned Rural Residential (RR), may be suitable for development if the
industrial uses to the south would need to expand northward. No development should occur if wetlands would
not be protected or mitigated. Parcel 04916017, currently zoned Suburban Residential 2 (RS-2), contains a
culvert and was retained by Ordinance 2526-2010 for the purpose of maintaining a component of the City’s storm
drain system. Parcel 04935006 is wetlands and provides wildlife habitat and is recommended for retention.
Parcels 04901062 and 04938052 are adjacent to residential development and were set aside for wetlands
mitigation and/or park purposes by Resolution 2007-48 and Ordinance 2057-2004, respectively. As the City
develops, they may be suitable for future recreational uses that continue to protect the wetland complex.

Adjacent lots containing the Peninsula Oilers baseball field (04938217), East End trails (04938215), and Kenai
Municipal Golf Course (04938216) are accessed from paved and City-maintained Lawton Drive. The City leases
parcel 04938217 for baseball activities and leases parcel 04938216 for operation of the Kenai Municipal Golf
Course. The City could explore future facility improvements at the ballfields with potential adjacent recreational
development by the City. The City grooms ski trails on the Kenai Municipal Golf Course in winter. The East End
trails on parcel 04938215 are an approximately one-mile dirt walking path.
Wetlands habitat identified on the National Wetlands Inventory covers part of parcels 04928215 and 04938216
that have the East End trails and Kenai Municipal Golf Course. This habitat should be protected to provide wildlife
habitat, water filtration, and water storage benefits to the City. Both of these parcels also have restrictions
requiring their use for public recreation tied to funding received by a federal grant from the Land and Water
Conservation Fund (LWCF). With the nearby schools and residential areas and the adjacent Peninsula Oilers
baseball field and Kenai Municipal Golf Course, public park or additional trail development would be a compatible
option to expand the use of the East End trails parcel 04938215. City water and sewer are available along Lawton
Drive.
South Tinker Lane is paved and constructed along the border of the parcel leased for baseball activities
(04938217). The road is platted, but not constructed along the western boundary of the parcel with the East End
trails (04938215). If the Deepwood Park subdivision is expanded, South Tinker Lane may be extended and may
make the East End trail parcel (04938215) suitable for additional connecting trails accessed from South Tinker
Lane, provided the wetlands at the southern edge of the parcel are protected.
Parcel 04901022 is a large area of land south of the other three parcels on the map. The City dug test holes at
the southern end of the parcel where it borders gravel pits. If the City determines a reasonable way to allow
access to the parcel, the southern edge could be used for gravel extraction. The lowlands on the parcel should
be protected. The northern edge of the parcel could one day be used to expand recreational amenities in the
area. It is recommended that a portion of this parcel be retained and a portion be disposed for lease-only for the
area appropriate for development subject to subdivision.

An approximately 1.5-mile graveled trail called the Lawton Drive Extension connects the end of Lawton Drive to
Beaver Loop Road. The City owns a large parcel (04103009) of land covering most of the area on the north side
of the Lawton Drive Extension and another large parcel (04904002) covering some of the land to the south of
the Lawton Drive Extension.
The land to the north of Lawton Drive Extension (04103009) has wetlands and caribou habitat. It has
conservation value and is not suitable for park development. The parcel does have approximately 30-acre treed
area at its western end that could be suitable for development. The parcel is bounded by land owned by the
Kenai Peninsula Borough and a privately-owned parcel to the west and south, State of Alaska Division of Natural
Resources land to the east, City of Kenai land to the south, and Bureau of Indian Affairs and Kenaitze Indian
Tribe land to the south.
The land to the south of Lawton Drive Extension (04904002) is classified as wetlands on the National Wetlands
Inventory (NWI) and provides caribou habitat. A small corner in the southeast part of the parcel is treed and may
be useful for minimal recreational development. Farther south of the parc el is a gravel pit off of Beaver Loop
Road.
It is recommended that the wetlands and wildlife habitat on the parcels be protected, which may be done through
retention or disposal to a landowner that would protect the wetlands/habitat. Both parcels are within the Rural
Residential (RR) Zone. The City should consider rezoning parcel 04904002 to reflect its intended usage as it is
not appropriate for residential development. The City could also provide enhancements to the Lawton Drive
Extension trail, such as improved signage.

Map 41 shows three parcels with frontage on the Kenai River. All of the parcels are zoned for Rural Residential
(RR). Portions of the parcel may be more appropriately zoned for Conservation (C).
Parcel 04911010 is on the south bank of the Kenai River. The southern boundary of the parcel marks the City of
Kenai boundary. An upland area of almost six acres lies within the south half of the parcel; the northerly lowland
portion is classified freshwater forested/shrub wetland on the NWI. The upland portion of the parcel has
approximately 575 feet of river frontage and may be suitable for development. The State of Alaska Department
of Natural Resources owns all of the surrounding parcels. Outside of City limits and eventually south of this
parcel is the Willow Brook Subdivision.
Parcel 04911011 is 621 acres in size on the north bank of the Kenai River. Portions of the parcel are adjacent
to Beaver Loop Road and the Anglers Acres Subdivision. The parcel is mostly wetlands with some potentially
developable uplands near the Anglers Acres subdivision. The wetlands on the parcel should be protected. A
road would have to be constructed prior to any development. It is recommended to subdivide the wetlands from
the uplands part of the parcel. Retention of the majority of the parcel is recommended. Most of it is not suitable
for development and is an area frequented by the Kenai Lowland caribou herd. The caribou herd is an important
game population on the peninsula and is valuable as an enhancement to tourism in Kenai. There is an
approximate five-acre portion of the parcel that is upland and adjacent to the west boundary of a portion of
Anglers Acres Subdivision that may be suitable for development. There is no access to the five acres except
from the Anglers Acres parcels. It is recommended that a portion of this parcel be retained and the approximately
three-acre upland portion be disposed for development subject to subdivision.
Parcel 04912065 is the site of Cunningham Park, which provides public access to the Kenai River and was
deeded to the City from Martha Cunningham with a deed requirement that the property be used for a public park
and a reversion clause in the event the property was not used as a park. The parcel is accessed from Beaver
Loop Road and is located on the north bank of the Kenai River. Parcels on either side of the park are privately-
owned. It is recommended that the City retain this parcel.

The seven parcels shown on Map 42 are mostly lowlands important for the protection of Beaver Creek and the
Kenai River. The properties are zoned Rural Residential (RR), which may not be appropriate for the potential
uses. It is recommended the City continue to protect wetland areas of the parcels.
Parcel 04926210 is a long narrow parcel extending from Dolchok Lane to connect with other City-owned parcels
covering Beaver Creek and adjacent wetlands. Ordinance 2057-2004 retained parcel 04926210 for access to
the Beaver Creek drainage culvert for Basin View Subdivision, and a culvert is located on the parcel. It was
originally created to provide access to Beaver Creek for homeowners in the Basin View Subdivision and was
acquired by the City in a foreclosure.
The City originally received parcel 04904029 from the State as part of its municipal entitlement and acquired
parcels 04926125 and 04926126 through land exchange and subdivision to place the City-owned property on
one side of Beaver Creek. These parcels are recommended for retention for protection of Beaver Creek and the
Kenai River.
Parcel 04904031 has evidence of clearing and past gravel extraction that occurred in the 1980s and/or 1990s.
The uplands on this parcel as well as the eastern portion of parcel 04926216 could potentially be suitable for
development; however, constructing legal access would be difficult. It is recommended that a portion of this
parcel be retained and a portion be disposed for the area appropriate for development subject to subdivision.
Parcel 04904086 is an 80-acre parcel with a drainage crossing the center of the parcel connecting Beaver Creek
with the Kenai River. The prime value of this parcel is protection of the wetlands and drainages that access the
Kenai River. It is also inhabited by the Kenai caribou herd. It is recommended that the City retain this parcel.

The Beaver Creek Subdivision is near the corner of Beaver Loop Road and the Kenai Spur Highway. The City
owns five parcels in the Beaver Creek Subdivision and retention is recommended for the five parcels. In 1981,
the State of Alaska transferred Tracts J (04108018), K (04108019), L (04108016) and M (04108013) in the
Beaver Creek Subdivision to the City of Kenai by Patent 6041. The approximately 36.7-acre transfer of land was
subject to unrestricted public use and access. Tract K (04108019) is the site of Beaver Creek Park. Tract M
(04108013) has drainages of Beaver Creek, Tract J (04108018) has steep slopes down to Beaver Creek, and
Tract L (04108016) may be useful for expanding or providing alternate access to Beaver Creek Park. It is
recommended the City work with State DNR to remove or revise the patent restriction for unlimited access and
public use for all four parcels. This would allow the City to utilize the parcels in Patent 6041 for public purposes
while restricting access that could be unsafe or damaging to the City’s park development or the Beaver Creek
watershed. The zoning for all of the parcels is Rural Residential (RR). It may be appropriate to rezone these
parcels to reflect their recreational and conservation uses.
Lot 3, Block H (04108003) of the Beaver Creek Subdivision was set aside by City Council for a future fire station.
This upland parcel looking over Beaver Creek is currently treed and vacant and it is the only one owned by the
City that connects Beaver Loop Road to Beaver Creek. It is suitable for development and recommended for
disposal at such time as an alternate location for a fire station of adequate size is identified.

Map 44 shows parcels recommended for retention by the City because they either contain a wellhead or are
needed to protect a wellhead. Parcel 04103019 contains a driveway that leads to the adjacent parcel that is the
site of Wellhouse No. 1. The adjacent parcel containing Wellhouse No. 1 is leased from the State of Alaska. In
the event Wellhouse No. 1 is abandoned and the structure is relocated, the parcel would be recommended for
disposal but is necessary as an alternate water source until such time. Parcel 04103034 is the site of the City
Water Treatment Plant and Wellhouse No. 2. Ordinance 2339-2008 dedicated parcel 04103051 for a well site
and other public facility and is the site of Wellhouse No. 3. In the event Wellhouse No. 3 is abandoned and the
structure is relocated, the parcel would be recommended for disposal but is necessary as an alternate water
source until such time. Parcel 04103047 is the proposed future site of Wellhouse No. 4 and is subject to a patent
restriction that requires the parcel be used for public purposes.
Ordinance 2938-2017 retained two small adjacent parcels (04106201 and 04106202) for protection of the City’s
Municipal wells. Parcel 04103059 was transferred to the City from the Kenai Peninsula Borough in 2012 for
wellhead protection and public water wells. The City is awaiting the final title transfer from the State of Alaska for
parcel 04103060. The parcel was approved for purchase for the public purpose of wellhead protection.
Parcels 04103059 and 04103060 contain easements for public access to the Snowshoe Gun Club and the Twin
City Raceway. Parcel 04103034 is the site of the City’s Water Treatment Plant and requires unrestricted public
access—the City should explore removing this patent restriction to protect Wellhouse No. 2.

04937002 Retain
The City owns one parcel (04937002) at the eastern end of the City along the Kenai Spur Highway just past its
intersection with Silver Salmon Drive. A 1974 subdivision replatted two lots and subdivided a portion of a
homestead to create five lots and a cul-de-sac dedication. The plat also vacated the section line easement in
Tracts A and F. In 2005, James A. Elson and Jo Ann Elson donated the lot to the City by quitclaim deed. The
gift came with stipulations that the lot was to be used for recreational purposes only and required that a park or
rest stop, with the family name attached, would be developed within three years of the deed. Failure to comply
with the requirements would cause reversion of the property to the gifting owners or their heirs. A bench with the
family name serving as a place to rest along the adjacent Unity Trail was placed to comply with the stipulations
of the donation. In 2018, the City granted a five-foot wide right-of-way easement to the State of Alaska along
317.2 feet of the 345 feet of Kenai Spur Highway frontage for Tract F. Documentation accompanied the
authorizing Resolution 2018-50 to indicate that this was an allowable use of the gifted property. Tract F is a fairly
wide and shallow lot fronting on both the Kenai Spur Highway and Chinook Court. Imagery shows the lot is treed
and fairly level.
The parcel is in the Rural Residential (RR) Zone, but may be more appropriately zoned as Recreational (R) given
the uses allowed in the deed.

City of Kenai Land Management Plan
RECOMMENDATIONS
Each parcel has a recommendation in the form of the Retention Status column in the City Landholdings table. In addition, this section contains
general themes for recommended actions for City-owned lands.
Maintain existing assets: Reference the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan. For parcels marked for retention, the City should maintain and improve
upon public facilities.
Continue acquisition of parcels for the bluff erosion project: The bluff erosion project is the most important capital improvement project for the
City of Kenai. Some additional parcels are necessary to obtain City ownership of the eroding bluffs.
Update Land Use Plan: The Land Use Plan within the 2016 Comprehensive Plan should be updated to maintain consistency with this Land
Management Plan.
Rezone: The retention status and comments for some parcels does not align with their current zoning. Once the Land Use Plan is updated, zoning
for some areas of the City may be appropriate to change.
Encourage development in vacant buildings and parcels: The City should consider incentives to encourage infill and redevelopment of vacant
properties and buildings. The City should not dispose of parcels without development that supports the intent of Code for City-owned lands.
Highlight and improve special features of Kenai: Highlighting areas that make Kenai special will attract visitors and new residents and improve
the quality of life for current residents. Signs or special lighting in public places could help highlight special area of the City.
Strategize actions for undeveloped subdivisions: The City has several undeveloped subdivisions, with some parcel layouts for undeveloped
subdivision that may no longer be optimal. The City should strategize ways to attract development to complete unfinished subdivisions.
Communicate availability of City-owned lands: The City can update materials advertising the availability of parcels for lease and continue to
communicate development incentives and leases with an option to purchase.
Make housekeeping changes as necessary: Continue internal organization of lands data to be able to provide information to the public. Continue
to correct odd plat layouts, such as public buildings constructed across parcel lines.

Page 286
Ordinance No. 3243-2021
Page 2 of 6
_____________________________________________________________________________________
New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED]
14.20.150 Conditional [U]Use [P]Permits.
(a) Intent. It is recognized that there are some uses that may be compatible with designated
principal uses in specific zoning districts provided certain conditions are met. The conditional
use permit procedure is intended to allow flexibility in the consideration of the impact of the
proposed use on surrounding property and the application of controls and safeguards to
assure that the proposed use will be compatible with the surroundings. The Commission may
permit this type of use if the conditions and requirements listed in this chapter are met. The
[ALLOWED] conditional uses are listed in the Land Use Table. Before a conditional use
permit may be granted, the procedures specified in this chapter must be followed. The grant,
denial, modification, or revocation of a conditional use permit is discretionary.
(b) Pre-Application Meeting. Every conditional use permit applicant must contact the Planning
Director for a pre-application meeting with the Planning Director or designee before the
application is submitted to the Commission in order to ensure applications are complete and
the applicant is familiar with the conditional use permit public hearing process. If an application
is determined to be incomplete by the Planning Director, the application may be re-submitted to
the Planning Director with changes or new information as many times as necessary, or the
applicant may request a review with the City Manager whose determination shall be final. The
review by the Planning Director is to determine that sufficient information is presented to allow
the Commission a meaningful review, and has no bearing on whether an application should be
granted or denied by the Commission.
([B]c) Applications. Applications for a conditional use permit shall be filed in writing with the
Planning Department. The application shall include, but is not limited to, the following:
(1) Name and address of the applicant and name and address of the property owner if
not the applicant;
(2) Verification by the owner of the property concerned if other than the applicant;
(3) The street address and [A] a legal description of the property involved;
(4) A description of the proposed use and how the use satisfies the review criteria;
(5) Dimensioned plot plans showing the location of all existing and proposed buildings
or alteration, conceptual drawing and such data as may be required; and
(6) The appropriate fee as set forth in the City’s schedule of fees adopted by the City
Council.
Page 287
Ordinance No. 3243-2021
Page 3 of 6
_____________________________________________________________________________________
New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED]
The application and its plans shall be posted to the City’s website at time of publication of
Commission packet.
([C]d) Public Hearing. If the application is in order, a public hearing shall be scheduled in
accordance with the requirements of KMC 14.20.280. An applicant or representative of the
applicant must be present in person or by remote device for the application to be considered
at the public hearing. If the applicant or representative is not present at the scheduled public
hearing and has not provided reasonable timely notice of unavailability to the Planning
Department or Commission, the application will be dismissed by the Commission without a
public hearing and the applicant may reapply at any time after paying a new application fee.
([D]e) Review Criteria. Prior to granting a conditional use permit, it shall be established that
the use satisfies all the following [CONDITIONS] criteria:
(1) The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes and intent
of the zoning district;
(2) The economic and non-economic value of the adjoining property and neighborhood
will not be significantly impaired;
(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use;
(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare; and
(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.
The Commission may approve, approve with conditions, dismiss, or deny the application. The
Commission must make specific findings in its decision addressing all six of the required criteria
stated above. Any relevant evidence may be considered by the Commission in its decision.
(f) Burden of Proof. The applicant for a conditional use permit has the burden to show by
substantial evidence that the six criteria above are satisfied. Substantial evidence is such relevant
evidence a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.
(g) Staff Report. The Planning Director or designee will provide a staff report on the application to
the Commission at the public hearing. The staff report may contain any information deemed
Page 288
Ordinance No. 3243-2021
Page 4 of 6
_____________________________________________________________________________________
New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED]
pertinent by the Planning Director or designee, and may include a recommendation and proposed
findings on whether the requirements of this Chapter have been met and whether any additional
specific conditions are recommended. The Commission may consider the recommendations of
the Planning Director or designee, but shall accord it no deference. The staff report does not
relieve the applicant’s burden of proof.
([E]h) Issuance of the Permit. Following approval by the Commission, the administrative
official shall not issue the permit until the expiration of the fifteen (15) day appeal period
contained in KMC 14.20.290. After approval by the Commission and before the issuance of
the permit, the administrative official must determine that the applicant is current on all
obligations (e.g., sales tax, property tax, lease payments, utility payments) to the City or has
entered into an approved payment plan with the City on any obligations owed and the
applicant is in compliance with the payment plan and (if the permit is for a use required to
collect sales tax) must show a valid borough sales tax account. If a timely appeal is filed

FROM: Vice-Mayor Bob Molloy
DATE: August 26, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3243-2021 – An ordinance amending KMC 14.20.150-Conditional
Use Permits to clarify roles and responsibilities in the conditional use
permit process and to make housekeeping changes
- Memo #1 - Introduction, Postponement and Referral
The Planning & Zoning Commission, the City Council, the Board of Adjustment, and public
comments have identified issues in KMC 14.20.150 Conditional use permits that should be
addressed regarding roles and responsibilities. Ordinance 3243-2021 proposes to amend
KMC 14.20.150 Conditional use permits to address some of these issues by clarifying the
roles and responsibilities of applicants, the Planning Director, and the Planning and Zoning
Commission in the conditional use permit process.
The sponsor verbally presented the highlights of the proposed amendments to the Planning &
Zoning Commission during Additional Public Comment at the Commission’s 8/25/21 meeting.
The Commissioners were very interested in and asked pertinent questions during the discussion
of the highlights of the proposed amendments. It’s the sponsor’s understanding that the
Commission has no other item at present for its 9/08/21 meeting.
At introduction, a request will be made for Council to postpone this ordinance to and for a public
hearing at the Council’s 9/15/21 meeting, and to refer this ordinance to the Planning & Zoning
Commission for a public hearing at its 9/08/21 meeting, and for the Commission to make
recommendations. If the Commission requests more time, then on 9/15/18 Council could refer
the ordinance again to the Commission for its 9/22/21 meeting, and postpone to Council’s
10/6/21 meeting for public hearing. There is some time; it’s the sponsor’s understanding that
this ordinance later would fall off of the Council’s agenda if no vote is taken at Council’s
10/21/21 meeting.
Council’s support of introduction and this referral request is respectfully requested.

SUBJECT: Ordinance 3243-2021 – An ordinance amending KMC 14.20.150-Conditional
Use Permits to clarify roles and responsibilities in the conditional use
permit process and to make housekeeping changes
- Memo #2 - Suppporting
The Planning & Zoning Commission, the City Council, the Board of Adjustment, and public
comments have identified issues in KMC 14.20.150 Conditional use permits that should be
addressed regarding roles and responsibilities. Ordinance 3243-2021 addresses some of these
issues.
Ordinance 3243-2021 proposes to amend KMC 14.20.150 Conditional use permits by
clarifying the roles and responsibilities of applicants, the Planning Director, and the Planning
and Zoning Commission in the conditional use permit process and to make some housekeeping
changes. The proposed amendments include the following:
1. Add final sentence to paragraph (a) Intent to clarify and state that the Commission has
discretion to grant, deny, modify or revoke a Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”).
2. Add a new paragraph (b) Pre-application meeting requiring the applicant to have a
pre-application meeting with the Planning Director or designee. The purpose is to
ensure the application is complete and the applicant is familiar with the conditional use
permit public hearing process. The review by the Planning Director is to determine that
sufficient information is presented with the application to allow the Planning
Commission a meaningful review, and has no bearing on whether an application
should be granted or denied by the Commission.
3. Make minor changes to the paragraph on Applications regarding the contents of the
application, to be consistent with the online form for the application and the practice that
there be some kind of conceptual drawings for landscape and site plans and the
dimensional plot plans.
4. Add a sentence to the paragraph on Applications that the application and plans will be
posted to the City’s website when the meeting packet is posted to the website. The City
Page 293
Page 2 of 2
Clerk and Administration would create a page to list public hearings coming up on
applications with a link to the applications and plans.
5. Add to the paragraph on Public Hearings the requirement that the applicant or
representative must be present in person or by remote electronic device to present the
application and the applicant’s case.
6. Clarify the second condition or criteria of the Review Criteria to provide that the value is
the economic and non-economic value, so the second criteria is that the economic and
non-economic value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be significantly
impaired.
7. Add a paragraph to the Review Criteria which further clarifies the Commission’s
discretion to the effect that: The Commission may approve, approve with conditions, or
deny the application. The Commission will make findings on the six criteria in its
decision. Any other relevant evidence may be considered by the Commission in its
decision.
8. Add a new paragraph on Burden of Proof, clarifying and stating that the applicant has
the burden of proof to show that the six review conditions or criteria are satisfied.
9. Add a new paragraph on Staff report, clarifying and stating that the Planning Director or
designee will provide a staff report. The staff may include a recommendation and
proposed findings on whether the requirements of this Code have been satusfied and
whether any additional specific conditions are recommended. The Commission may
consider the recommendations of the Planning Director or designee, but does not have
to defer to the staff’s recommendation. The staff report does not relieve the applicant
from the applicant’s burden of proof.
Council’s consideration and support of Ordinance 3243-2021 is respectfully requested.

TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
FROM: Scott Bloom, City Attorney
DATE: September 9, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3243-2021- KMC 14.20.150- Conditional Use Permits
The Planning and Zoning Commission met on September 8, 2021 to consider Ordinance 3243-
2021 and recommended Council enact the Ordinance with two amendments.
I request Council move to amend Ordinance 3243-2021 by amending the last Whereas Clause to
read:
“WHEREAS, on September 8, 2021 the Planning and Zoning Commission met and recommended
the City Council enact this Ordinance with amendments.”
The Commission moved to amend the new section (d) of KMC 14.20.150 to read as follows (new
language in red):
([C]d) Public Hearing. If the application is in order, a public hearing shall be scheduled in
accordance with the requirements of KMC 14.20.280. An applicant or representative of the
applicant must be present in person or by remote device for the application to be considered
at the public hearing. If the applicant or representative is not present at the scheduled public
hearing and has not provided reasonable timely notice of unavailability to the Planning
Department or Commission, the application will be dismissed by the Commission without a
public hearing and the applicant may reapply at any time after paying a new application fee.
This amendment will require a further modification in subsection (e) as provided below:
([D]e) Review Criteria. Prior to granting a conditional use permit, it shall be established that
the use satisfies all the following [CONDITIONS] criteria:
(1) The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes and intent
of the zoning district;
Page 295
Page 2 of 3
(2) The economic and non-economic value of the adjoining property and neighborhood
will not be significantly impaired;
(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use;
(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare; and
(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.
The Commission may approve, approve with conditions, dismiss or deny the application. The
Commission must make specific findings in its decision addressing all six of the required criteria
stated above. Any relevant evidence may be considered by the Commission in its decision.
The Commission recommended this change to provide direction and clarity for the process if an
applicant or representative is not present for the hearing. Reasonable timely notice depends on
the circumstances, allowing for flexibility in emergency or exigent circumstances. The application
fee for a conditional use permit is $250 as provided in the City’s Fee Schedule.
The Commission also expressed a desire to be notified of any written notices of violations
provided to conditional use permit holders.
The Commission moved to amend the new section (j) of KMC 14.20.150 to read as follows (new
language in red):
([G]j) Revocation for Noncompliance/Compliance Notices. If the Commission determines,
based on the yearly review or any other investigation undertaken by the official, that the
conduct of the operation(s) is not in compliance with: (1) the terms and conditions of the
permit; (2) the provisions of the Kenai Zoning Code; (3) or that the permit holder is not current
on any obligations (e.g., sales tax, property tax, utility payments, lease payments) to the City
unless the applicant has entered into an approved payment with the City on any obligations
owed and the applicant is in compliance with the payment plan, the Commission may revoke
the permit. The Commission shall not revoke the permit until the permit holder has been
notified and given reasonable opportunity to correct the deficiency(s) or to provide information
relating to or rebutting the alleged deficiency(s). Appeals from decisions under this section
shall be made in accordance with the provisions of KMC 14.20.290. If the administrative
Page 296
Page 3 of 3
official determines the permit holder is in compliance with the conditions in this subsection,
or notifies the permit holder of a potential violation in writing, the administrative official [IT]
shall send any notice of compliance or notice of violation to the Commission and the permit
holder in a timely manner.

RE: 1005 Angler Drive -(Lot 1, Angler Acres Subdivision Part 4} PZ02-29 (PZ88-27)
Conditional Use Permit
Dear Mr. Foster:
On August 16, 2021, the City of Kenai provided you a notice of code violation for the Conditional
Use Permit PZ02-29 (PZ88-27) located at 1005 Angler Drive with an October 16, 2021 date to
take appropriate action to remedy the violations, after which time the City may commence the
Conditional Use Permit revocation process with the City of Kenai P la nning and Zoning
Commission if the violations are not corrected. City staff determined the property to be in violation
of Kenai Municipal Code, as follows:
VIOLATION: Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC)
Documentation: Resolution No. PZ02-29 (PZ88-27) Conditional Use Permit Condition
3. The septic system must meet ADEC requirements for said use. This is in reference
to the five rental cabins approved via the permit. On May 15, 2019 the City sent a letter
regarding the requiren:ient for ADEC documentation, "Foster Landing has submitted
documentation from ADEC of Approval to Construct (dated 2003) and Approval to
Operate (dated 2005) Phase 1 of the onsite wastewater treatment and disposal system
and Approval to Construct Phase 2 (dated 2005). Modifications to Phase 2 {referred
to as Phase 3 in conversations with Foster Landing) include a 1,250 gallon septic
tank/life station and sewer lines with connections to five cabins (maximum occupancy
22 people). Foster Landing has submitted to the City a copy of their application to
ADEC for Approval to Construct. Prior to operating Foster Landing in 2020, Approval
to Operate from the ADEC must be submitted to the City". As of August 16, 2021 the
City has not received the Approval to Operate from the ADEC.
VIOLATION: Use of the property exceeds the conditions of the Conditional Use
Permit Resolut ion No. PZ02-29 (PZ88-27) Conditional Use Perm it, Condition 1. Limit
the use to five rentals if the development meets the zoning code. City staff have
received a complaint that ne ighboring rental properties are utilizing services such as
eating, drinking, and live music provided by Foster Landing, LLC at 1005 Angler Drive.
Th is use is a violation of the Conditional Use Perm it which Ii mi ts the use of the property
to five rental cabins.
On October 13, 2021, via email, you requested a 60 day extension to resolve both of the cited
code violations. Upon review, staff has approved the request for extension for 60 days for both
vio lati ons to provide additional time for you to resolve the violations for the following reasons:
• For the ADEC violation , the extension will allow ADEC to complete their review of your
application.
• For the violation involving the commercial activity of bringing paying guests from
surrounding properties to entertain and feed them on 1005 Angler Drive, you stated you
are not currently conducting this activity and won't be for the remainder of the 2021
season. An extension of 60 days in this case, allows additional time to work with the City
to resolve this violation.
Please take appropriate action to remedy the violation( s) on or before December 15, 2021, after
which time the City may commence the Conditional Use Permit revocation process with the City
of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission if the violations are not corrected.
If you would like to discuss this notice or have questions concerning this letter you may contact
me at 907-283-8235 or rfoster@kenai.city .
