WHEREAS, a complete application meeting the requirements of Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150
was submitted to the City on May 5, 2021; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant has demonstrated with plans and other documents that the
prerequisites of a Conditional Use Permit have been met pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code

WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds
1. KMC 14.20.150(d)(1) The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the
purposes and intent of the zoning district;
Critera Met: Both 702 Lawton Drive and 436 Rogers Road are zoned Suburban
Residential 2 (RS -2). The RS Zone is intended to provide for medium density residential
development in areas which will be provided with common utility systems. The specific
intent in establishing this zone is:
Resolution No. PZ2021-40
Page 2 of 5
(1) To separate residential structures to an extent which will allow for adequate light, air,
and privacy;
(2) To prohibit uses which would:
(A) Violate the residential character of the environment;
(B) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas.
The vicinity to the west and east of the subject parcel has a residential character and
consists of single family homes on lots zoned Suburban Residential 2, which are buffered
by Rogers Road, trees on 702 Lawton Drive, and 436 Rogers Road. The proposed use
would increase the amount of traffic entering and existing the parking lot at 750 Lawton
Drive and would not be entering the neighborhood via Rogers Road, and would not be
generating heavy traffic in a predominantly residential area.
"Dormitory" means a building, whether public or private, associated with a school, college
or university and designed, used, and arranged for private sleeping, studying, and living
accommodation for students.
'Bed and breakfast' means a residential, owner -occupied dwelling in which rooms are
rented to paying guests on an overnight basis with no more than one (1) meal served
daily.
The Land Use Table provides that a Dormitory and Bed & Breakfast are conditional uses
for the Suburban Residential 2 Zoning Districts; therefore, a conditional use permit must
be granted for the operation of a Dormitory and Bed & Breakfast. The applicant has
provided a site plan that provides the layout of the premises.
2. KMC 14.20.150(d)(2) The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be
significantly impaired;
Criteria Met. The adjacent parcels to the South at 436 Rogers Road is owned by the
applicant and acts essentially as the back yard for 702 Lawton Drive and provides a buffer
from properties to the South. To the East is a large, undeveloped, forested parcel, owned
by the Kenai Peninsula Borough, which the applicants have leased the portion closest to
702 Lawton Drive for parking. Parcels to the West are single family, suburban residential
which are buffered by Rogers Road and trees on 702 Lawton Drive. The City of Kenai
Multi-purpose Facility is located to the North, across Lawton Drive. Both the economic and
noneconomic value of adjacent properties should not be significantly impacted by the
proposed dormitory or bed and breakfast.
3. KMC 14.20.150(d)(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
Criteria Met. The Land Use Plan, from the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, proposes a
Suburban Residential land use for this neighborhood. The Suburban Residential Land Use
Classification is defined in the Comprehensive Plan:
"Suburban Residential is intended for single-family and multi -family residential uses that
are urban or suburban in character. The area will typically be developed at a higher
density; lots are typically smaller; and, public water and sewer services are required or
Resolution No. PZ2021-40
Page 3 of 5
planned. Some developments may be required to construct streets to a paved standard
and larger subdivisions may be required to provide sidewalks and public areas. Parks and
open space land uses may be considered appropriate."
The Comprehensive Plan has goals to support businesses and economic development
and to provide a high quality of life within the City. Below are specific goals/objectives from
the Comprehensive Plan that support this CUP application:
Goal 1 of the Comprehensive Plan is to promote and encourage quality of life in Kenai.
•
0-4 Promote the siting and design of land uses that are in harmony and scale with
surrounding uses.
Goal 2 of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide economic development to support the
fiscal health of Kenai.
ED -1 Promote projects that create workforce development opportunities.
4. KMC 14.20.150(d)(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed
use;
Criteria Met. The subject properties have access to City water, City sewer, natural gas,
electricity, and telephone services and are accessed via a paved, City maintained road.
Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.250(b)(8) requires that there is one (1) space per principal
dwelling unit and one (1) per guest room or one for every two beds, therefore the minimum
number of parking spaces required is six (6) spaces. The attached application meets this
requirement by providing parking at 750 Lawton Drive for up to 24 spaces, though the
maximum number of spaces planned by the applicant is 16, which is more than sufficient
for the 8 students per class. Parking is for students privately owned vehicles (cars, vans,
pick-up trucks, SUVs) and not for commercial trucks or vehicles. Classroom instruction
takes place in Sterling.
5. KMC 14.150(d)(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare;
Criteria Met: The use of a dormitory and bed and breakfast will not be harmful to the
public safety, health and welfare. Staff believes that public services are available to
adequately serve this property. A bed and breakfast has operated on the subject
property in recent years with a conditional use permit. The applicant has provided the
City with a draft site plan and property lease with the Kenai Peninsula Borough, which
indicates that there will be sufficient parking available for residents and guests. Access
to parking is via Lawton Drive.
6. KMC 14.150(d)(6) Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Commission
to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions should be met by the applicant. These may
include, but are not limited to, measures relative to access, screening, site development,
building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the proposed
use.
See Conditions of Approval as set forth below.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The applicant, Edward and Kathleen Martin, have submitted a conditional use permit application
for a dormitory and a bed and breakfast at 702 Lawton Drive (the subject home) and 436 Rogers
Road (the back yard). The dormitory is intended for housing students at the Alaska Driving
Academy Truck Driving Division and Basic Civil Construction students. The bed and breakfast
would only operate when students are not staying on the property and requires the owners to live
on the property. Per Kenai Municipal Code 14.22.010 Land use table, both the dormitory and bed
and breakfast land uses require a conditional use permit in the Suburban Residential 2 zoning
district. The parking requirements for these land uses are met with a lease that the applicants
have with the Kenai Municipal Borough property next door at 750 Lawton Drive. The subject
property has previously had a conditional use permit for a Bed and Breakfast.
Application, Public Notice, Public Comment
Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.280(c) notices of the public hearing for the conditional
use were mailed to property owners within a three hundred-foot (300’) periphery of the subject
property. City staff published notice of the public hearing in the Peninsula Clarion. The applicant
submitted an Affidavit of Posting verifying a sign was placed on the parcel with information on the
public hearing for the conditional use request.
ANALYSIS
Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150(e) – Review Criteria for Conditional Use Permits
Pursuant to KMC 14.20.150(a), the intent of a conditional use permit is to allow some uses that
may be compatible with the designated principal uses in specific zoning districts provided certain
conditions are met. KMC 14.20.150(e)-Conditional Use Permits Review Criteria states six
conditions that the Planning and Zoning Commission must deem to exist when establishing
findings prior to issuing a conditional use permit:
Criteria # 1: The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes
and intent of the zoning district.
Applicant Response: Although the property is zoned residential, use will be similar to past
permitted B&B except that there will be less of a turn-over; the students will be staying for
3 weeks at a time. The abutting property we are requesting conditional use of is zoned
Institutional School.
Staff Response: Both 702 Lawton Drive and 436 Rogers Road are zoned Suburban
Residential 2 (RS-2). The RS Zone is intended to provide for medium density residential
development in areas which will be provided with common utility systems. The specific
intent in establishing this zone is:
(1) To separate residential structures to an extent which will allow for adequate
light, air, and privacy;
(2) To prohibit uses which would:
Page 3 of 6
(A) Violate the residential character of the environment;
(B) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas.
The vicinity to the west and east of the subject parcel has a residential character and
consists of single family homes on lots zoned Suburban Residential 2, which are buffered
by Rogers Road, trees on 702 Lawton Drive, and 436 Rogers Road. The proposed use
would increase the amount of traffic entering and existing the parking lot at 750 Lawton
Drive and would not be entering the neighborhood via Rogers Road, and would not be
generating heavy traffic in a predominantly residential area.
“Dormitory” means a building, whether public or private, associated with a school, college
or university and designed, used, and arranged for private sleeping, studying, and living
accommodation for students.
“Bed and breakfast” means a residential, owner-occupied dwelling in which rooms are
rented to paying guests on an overnight basis with no more than one (1) meal served
daily.
The Land Use Table provides that a Dormitory and Bed & Breakfast are conditional uses
for the Suburban Residential 2 Zoning Districts; therefore, a conditional use permit must
be granted for the operation of a Dormitory and Bed & Breakfast. The applicant has
provided a site plan that provides the layout of the premises.
Criteria #2: The economic and noneconomic value of the adjoining property and
neighborhood will not be significantly impaired.
Applicant Response: The value of adjoining properties will not be impaired any more than
it was under the permit given to the past owners (Herman & Irene Fandel). Conditional
Use permit for .26 acres of KPB owned lot (750 Lawton Drive) is requested to provide
additional parking for students. This will keep the roadways unobstructed & clear for traffic.
Students will be required to read/sign a document notifying them of the rules to obtain
lodging (stay in/on the 702 Lawton Drive property). This document states they cannot bring
guns, weapons, consume alcohol, use drugs, bring pets, quiet hours, etc. Basically, we
must all be considerate and live in harmony with those around us.
Staff Response:
The adjacent parcels to the South at 436 Rogers Road is owned by the applicant and acts
essentially as the back yard for 702 Lawton Drive and provides a buffer from properties to
the South. To the East is a large, undeveloped, forested parcel, owned by the Kenai
Peninsula Borough, which the applicants have leased the portion closest to 702 Lawton
Drive for parking. Parcels to the W est are single family, suburban residential which are
buffered by Rogers Road and trees on 702 Lawton Drive. The City of Kenai Multi-purpose
Facility is located to the North, across Lawton Drive. Both the economic and noneconomic
value of adjacent properties should not be significantly impacted by the proposed
dormitory or bed and breakfast.
Criteria #3: The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
Page 4 of 6
Applicant Response: Business will be paying City taxes on income earned from housing
students. Students will be making purchases at local stores, gas stations, eateries during
their stay. Both will benefit the fiscal health of the community. Students will be learning
about safety and responsibility as they acquire skills to obtain good paying jobs.
Staff Response: The Land Use Plan, from the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, proposes a
Suburban Residential land use for this neighborhood. The Suburban Residential Land Use
Classification is defined in the Comprehensive Plan:
“Suburban Residential is intended for single-family and multi-family residential uses that
are urban or suburban in character. The area will typically be developed at a higher
density; lots are typically smaller; and, public water and sewer services are required or
planned. Some developments may be required to construct streets to a paved standard
and larger subdivisions may be required to provide sidewalks and public areas. Parks and
open space land uses may be considered appropriate.”
The Comprehensive Plan has goals to support businesses and economic development
and to provide a high quality of life within the City. Below are specific goals/objectives from
the Comprehensive Plan that support this CUP application:
Goal 1 of the Comprehensive Plan is to promote and encourage quality of life in Kenai.
Q-4 Promote the siting and design of land uses that are in harmony and scale with
surrounding uses.
Goal 2 of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide economic development to support the
fiscal health of Kenai.
ED-1 Promote projects that create workforce development opportunities.
Criteria #4: Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Applicant Response: Yes, it was permitted in the past as a B&B.
Staff Response: The subject properties have access to City water, City sewer, natural gas,
electricity, and telephone services and are accessed via a paved, City maintained road.
Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.250(b)(8) requires that there is one (1) space per principal
dwelling unit and one (1) per guest room or one for every two beds, therefore the minimum
number of parking spaces required is six (6) spaces. The attached application meets this
requirement by providing parking at 750 Lawton Drive for up to 24 spaces, though the
maximum number of spaces planned by the applicant is 16, which is more than sufficient
for the 8 students per class. Parking is for students privately owned vehicles (cars, vans,
pick-up trucks, SUVs) and not for commercial trucks or vehicles. Classroom instruction
takes place in Sterling.
Criteria #5: The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
Applicant Response: The boarders are required to read/sign an agreement as described
earlier. As part of their training, they are learning about ensuring the safety of themselves
Page 5 of 6
and others on the road and in construction zones. We are requesting a Conditional Use
Permit for the abutting property to provide off-road parking for the students so that the
roadways remain clear and unobstructed.
Staff Response: The use of a dormitory and bed and breakfast will not be harmful to the
public safety, health and welfare. Staff believes that public services are available to
adequately serve this property. A bed and breakfast has operated on the subject property
in recent years with a conditional use permit. The applicant has provided the City with a
draft site plan and property lease with the Kenai Peninsula Borough, which indicates that
there will be sufficient parking available for residents and guests. Access to parking is via
Lawton Drive.
Criteria # 6: Specific conditions deemed necessary.
Applicant Response: Our students will have stays of longer duration, so there will be less
of a turn-over. Each will be assigned a specific parking spot. The courses are intense
and the students must study/do homework daily, so there will be less traffic.
Staff Response: See Conditions of Approval as set forth below.

Conditional Use Requested for (attach additional sheets if necessary):
We are purchasing the 702 Lawton Drive property to encourage vocational training on the Peninsula and will be housing Alaska
Driving Academy Truck Driving Division & Basic Civil Construction students (possibly seasonal B&B customer parking if no
students scheduled). Previous owners {Herman E. and Irene Fandel; both now deceased) had an unlimited Permit with the City
for an area where their customers could park their vehicles. Requesting use of cleared area abutting 702 Lawton (see map).
Explain how the conditional use is consistent with purposes and intent of the zoning district of the property:
Zoned: Institutional School. Cleared area to be used as parking area only; each student staying at the 702
Lawton Drive (a corner lot) property will be issued a specific space to park in. This will keep students from
trying to park on the streets, maintain clear sight distance at intersection and keep the streets uncluttered for
traffic and pedestrians.
Explain how the value of adjoining property and neighborhood will not be significantly impaired by the conditional
use:
It will keep the streets (Rogers Road and Lawton Drive) clear for travel in the neighborhood and sight
distance at the intersection unobstructed.

Use of surrounding property -west: Abutts 702 Lawton Dr. prop. we are purchasing
Explain how the conditional use is in harmony with the City's Comprehensive Plan:
We wish to house vocational students (commercial business) within the City of Kenai. The students will be making purchases themselves
during their stay (food, gas, etc.). Both will benefit the fiscal health of the community. Students must sign a form beforehand to obtain
lodging that assures they will be in harmony with all of those in their class, lodging and surrounding neighborhood (no drugs, no drinking, no
guns, no pets, etc.). Students learn about safety awareness, responsibility, working with and relying on others as they develop meaningful
skills that benefit both them and their communities.
Are public services and facilities on the property adequate to serve the proposed conditional use?
Yes; parking area. The KPB did grant an easement to the City of Kenai, to use the NW corner of that KPB
parcel, for the construction and maintenance of stormwater management facilities. The subject area of this
easement is adjacent to the property addressed as 702 Lawton Dr. See enclosed map detailing the area we
wish to use.
Explain how the conditional use will not be harmful to public safety, health, or welfare:
It will encourage public safety, health & welfare by keeping said student vehicles from trying to park on
the street. We would like to keep the roadway clear and unobstructed.
Are there any measures with access, screening, site development, building design, or business operation that will
lessen potential impacts of the conditional use to neighbors?
No new impacts. This parcel belongs to the KPB but is used, in part, by the City of Kenai. We have the equipment to mulch
the seedlings and keep the area cleared from tree growth should the City be in agreement for us to do so. The KPB did grant
an easement to the City of Kenai, to use the NW corner of that KPB parcel, for the construction and maintenance of stormwater
management facilities. The subject area of this easement is adjacent to the property addressed as 702 Lawton Dr.

Student housing/B&B. We are purchasing the 702 Lawton Drive property and will be housing Alaska
Driving Academy Truck Driving Division and Basic Civil Construction students. We would also like the
option of operating as a B&B if and when we do not have students.
Explain how the conditional use is consistent with purposes and intent of the zoning district of the
property:
Although the property is zoned residential, use will be similar to past permitted B&B except that there
will be less of a turn-over; the students will be staying for 3 weeks at a time. The abutting property we
are requesting conditional use of is zoned Institutional School.
Explain how the value of adjoining property will not be significantly impaired by the conditional use:
The value of adjoining properties will not be impaired any more than it was under the permit given to
the past owners (Herman & Irene Fandel). Conditional Use permit for .26 acres of KPB owned lot (750
Lawton Drive) is requested to provide additional parking for students. This will keep the roadways
unobstructed & clear for traffic. Students will be required to read/sign a document notifying them of the
rules to obtain lodging (stay in/on the 702 Lawton Drive property). This document states they cannot
bring guns, weapons, consume alcohol, use drugs, bring pets, quiet hours, etc. Basically, we must all
be considerate and live in harmony with those around us.
Use of surrounding property-north: 9775 KENAI SPUR HWY; City of Kenai, Institutional (buidings)
Use of surrounding property-south: 434 ROGERS RD Residential
Use of surrounding property -east: 750 Lawton Dr; apx. 400' of KPB Institutional use (forested}
Use of surrounding property -west: 424 & 429 Lawton Dr. residential
Explain how the conditional use is in harmony with the City's Comprehensive Plan: Business will be
paying City taxes on income earned from housing students. Students will be making purchases at local
stores, gas stations, eateries during their stay. Both will benefit the fiscal health of the community. Students
will be learning about safety and responsibility as they acquire skills to obtain good paying jobs.
Are public services and facilities on the property adequate to serve the proposed conditional use: Yes,
it was permitted in the past as a B&B.
Explain how the conditional use will not be harmful to public safety, health or welfare: The boarders are
required to read/sign an agreement as described earlier. As part of their training, they are learning about
ensuring the safety of themselves and others on the road and in construction zones. We are requesting a
Conditional Use Permit for the abutting property to provide off-road parking for the students so that the
roadways remain clear and unobstructed.
Are there any measures with access, screening, site development, building design, or business operation that will
lessen potential impacts of conditional use to neighbors: Our students will have stays of longer duration, so there will
be less of a turn-over. Each will be assigned a specific parking spot. The courses are intense and the students must
study/do homework daily, so there will be less traffic.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Martin:
VIA CERTIFIED MAIL

Charlie Pierce
Borough Mayor
On August 1 7, 2021, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly approved Resolution 2021-32
and authorized a lease agreement for o 180' x 194' parking area, subject to easements,
within the northwest corner of parcel number 04901048.
Enclosed for your record is the fully executed lease agreement.
On September 21, 2021, we met onsite to address a concern over larch trees within the
leasehold. We also flagged a 70' setback from the centerline of Lawton Drive. There are
a number of larch planted in this location, which are believed to have been placed by
a previous landowner. The overage tree height is between 3.5' to 8', being between 0.5''
to 2" in diameter at the stump. The larch within the leasehold· are not part of a
documented provincial trial. ano several will remain in place, serving as a 20' vegetative
buffer from Lawton Drive.
Per the lease and approved development plan, you may remove the larch as necessary
to create a parking area. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you.
Respectfully;

In your letter you state that the property Is located wfttlln the City rJf Kenai and die west half fs zoned Rural rasldentfaf;

I have made rrn.illlple calls to you far further lnformatfon/darfflcatlon because I need ta know where the SO'
stirts/orflfnates to avoid the tataUty of It (the photo you provided Is too dlgttlllzed to see even the roadway dearly and
there are no labeled reference paints). I understand you may be busy, but without a point of orlaln 1 laymln can
understlnd, l have ta assume It be&lns at the centerUne of Lawton Drive. tf thts Is true, half ttte width of the road
{16'~) plus a M foot veptatlan buffer wfll avoid the SD' section line easement.
If I am Incorrect as to where the 50' section Une easement begins, we can shift the area on the She Plan DrlWlrw, with
your assistance to ldentffV where It 1ctualfy Is, to make It avoid the area.
As )'OU ca" see on tha Sile Plln Drawfns enclosed, I have drawn out 24 (U'x20') parklna spaces In • herrtnpoM! pattern.
A typlcal parsoMlfv awMd plck·up truck measures 6.9'x20' -1hfs wll allow Cur plenty of space ID open doors wtthout
