Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 3 of 6
October 27, 2021
Planning Director Foster gave a presentation on the draft Land Management Plan (LMP),
including why it was created, the background and development of the LMP, the new City Lands
Inventory and Database, the objectives of the LMP, how it categorizes lands by recommendation,
and timeline for approval by commissions and Council. He provided a demonstration of the new
GIS tool and explained how it interacts with the database, and how it can be used by the City and
the public in the future.
Staff provided clarification that most parcels recommended to be retained have a narrative to
explain that status, and that an implementation plan after the final LMP is approved will include
changes suggested by commissions and Council such as subdivision and zoning changes.
It was discussed how disposal of land can become a contentious issue and the commission
should consider the lands recommended for disposal in groups. It was noted that some public
feedback had been received by the commission regarding disposal of certain lots.
Staff explained that Titles 21 and 22 determine how the City manages lands, and that a plan for
development approved by Council is prerequisite for disposal. It was clarified that there are
distinctions between commercial and residential development, and ultimately the determination
for whether a development should be approved for disposal is at the City Council’s discretion.
The need for more feedback from impacted residents was discussed. It was clarified that the
zoning will not change when lands are sold, and any subsequent zoning changes would require
the normal public hearing process with Council approval. Parcels automatically receive a dispose
status when they are deemed not needed for a public purpose, and if they are sold there will also
be a public process.
Clarification was provided that, regarding a development plan required for land sale, the
timeframe for construction can vary and the buyer has different options to meet it. It was
suggested that Council review how timeframes are set for residential developments, and it was
noted that the Commission can recommend that Council revisit Title 22 and consider how
residential properties can be treated differently.
The Kenai Cemetery was discussed, and it was noted that the expansion should be finalized in
the summer of 2022. An adjacent parcel was discussed as a possible addition to the airport
expansion, and it was noted that staff would look at this and return to the next Commission
meeting with more information.
Clarification was provided that commissioners and can send questions and concerns to the
Planning Director to be submitted in the packet, and any public comment received will be added
to the next meeting packet or laydown as well.
MOTION:
Commissioner Douthit MOVED to postpone Resolution No. PZ2021-39 until the November 10,
2021 and Commissioner Halstead SECONDED the motion.

Execution of a Lease to Integrated Account Management, Inc. on Lot 3, Block 3,

MOTION:
Commissioner Douthit MOVED to recommend approval of Resolution No. 2021-XX – Approving
the Execution of a Lease to Integrated Account Management, Inc. on Lot 3, Block 3, Cook Inlet
Industrial Air Park Subdivision. Commissioner Woodard SECONDED the motion.
Planning Director Foster noted the draft Council resolution in the packet for a 45-year lease to
Integrated Account Management, Inc. Their application is to continue their current use of the land
for professional offices. Foster stated that this use is compatible with this zoning district and with
the Comprehensive Plan, and staff’s opinion is that it is a good fit. He noted that because this is
airport property, the lease would go toward the airport fund.
Clarification was provided that the lessee has the opportunity to purchase the property, which
they had discussed with staff but decided instead to renew their lease.

CITY OF KENAI
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 2021-21
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI
GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A DORMITORY.
APPLICANT: Edward and Kathleen Martin
PROPERTY ADDRESS:
702 Lawton Drive
436 Rogers Road
LEGAL DESCRIPTION:
Lot 1, Block 4, Inlet View Subdivision 1st Revision
Lot 2, Block 4, Inlet View Subdivision 1st Revision
KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH PARCEL NUMBER:
04915025
04915026
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
14.20.150; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a duly advertised
public hearing on November 10, 2021, following requirements outlined in Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.280 for public hearings and notifications.
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds:
1. KMC 14.20.150(e)(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:
Page 9
Resolution No. PZ2021-21
Page 2 of 4
(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(e)(2) The economic and noneconomic 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(e)(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
Page 10
Resolution No. PZ2021-21
Page 3 of 4
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.
4. KMC 14.20.150(e)(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(e)(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(e)(6) Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Commission
to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions should be met by the applicant. These may
include, but are not limited to, measures relative to access, screening, site development,
building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the proposed
use.
See Conditions of Approval as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA:
Page 11
Resolution No. PZ2021-21
Page 4 of 4

Section 2. That the conditional use permit is subject to the following conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska,

prior to the 31st day of December of each year.
5. The applicant will meet with City staff for on-site inspections when requested.

Use Permit must be obtained, pursuant to 14.20.150(l)(5).
7. Pursuant to KMC 14.20.150(l)(2), this permit shall expire automatically upon
termination or interruption of the use for a period of at least one year.
8. Failure to provide documentation to the City for meeting these conditions shall be
grounds for the suspension or revocation of the conditional use permit.

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 19
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 20
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 21
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.

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.

Yes; parking area. The KPB did grant an easement to the City of Kenai, to use the NW corner of that KPB

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

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;

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI
GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARK.
APPLICANT: Casey & Llana Gaze

LEGAL DESCRIPTION:
Lot 2, Block F, Beaver Creek Alaska Subdivision Amended

KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH PARCEL NUMBER:
04106302
04106303
04106317
WHEREAS, a complete application meeting the requirements of Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150
was submitted to the City on October 11, 2021; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant has demonstrated with plans and other documents that the
prerequisites of a Conditional Use Permit have been met pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.150; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a duly advertised
public hearing on November 10, 2021, following requirements outlined in Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.280 for public hearings and notifications.
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds:
1. KMC 14.20.150(d)(1) The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the
purposes and intent of the zoning district;
Critera Met: Both 6575 Kenai Spur Highway and 6607 Kenai Spur Highway are zoned
General Commercial (CG). The proposed Recreational Vehicle Park meets the intent of
Page 79
Resolution No. PZ2021-38
Page 2 of 5
the General Commercial Zone (CG) to provide for areas where a broad range of retail,
wholesale, and service establishments is desirable. Uses are regulated to concentrate
commercial development to the greatest extent possible and to prevent any uses which
would have an adverse effect upon nearby properties. New single- and two (2) family
residential uses and other noncommercial uses, except as otherwise provided in this
chapter, are not permitted in this zone as principal uses because it is intended that land
classified in this zone be reserved for commercial purposes, and because a commercial
zone is not suited to the uses excluded above. A Recreational Vehicle Park would be a
primary commercial use.
3415 Mudhen Drive is designated Rural Residential (RR). The RR Zone is intended to
provide for low density residential development in outlying and rural areas in a form which
creates a stable and attractive residential environment. The specific intent in establishing
this zone is:
(1) To separate residential structures to an extent which will:
(A) Preserve the rural, open quality of the environment;
(B) Prevent health hazards in areas not served by public water and sewer.
(2) To prohibit uses which would:
(A) Violate the residential character of the environment;
(B) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas.
A Recreational Vehicle Park is consistent with the intent of the Rural Residential District
by preserving the rural, open quality of the environment with a site design that preserves
as many trees as possible and creates privacy between neighboring parcels as well as
RV parking spaces. Recommended Condition 2. Applicant will provide a copy of DEC
compliance certification on the water/sewer system. The well as shown will likely need to
be separated further from the proposed dump station; would prevent health hazards in an
area not served by public sewer and that is served by private well.
Parcels in the vicinity of the subject parcels, do not have a residential character and consist
of general commercial uses and vacant lots. The proposed use would increase the amount
of traffic entering and existing the subject properties, but would not be generating heavy
traffic in a predominantly residential area.
The Land Use Table provides that Recreational Vehicle Parks are a conditional use for
both General Commercial and Rural Residential Zoning Districts; therefore, a conditional
use permit must be granted for the operation of a Recreational Vehicle Park. The applicant
has provided a site plan that provides the layout of the premises.
2. KMC 14.20.150(d)(2) The economic and noneconomic value of the adjoining property and
neighborhood will not be significantly impaired;
Criteria Met. The adjacent parcels located to the South, East and West are vacant. Parcels
to the North, across the Kenai Spur Highway consist of a propane business, a Homer
Electric Association facility, and a steel distributor, all general commercial land uses that
Page 80
Resolution No. PZ2021-38
Page 3 of 5
should not be negatively impacted by the proposed recreational vehicle park. Both the
economic and noneconomic value of adjacent properties should not be significantly
impacted by this change.
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 General
Commercial land use for this neighborhood. The General Commercial Land Use
Classification is defined in the Comprehensive Plan:
“General Commercial is intended for retail, service, and office businesses that serve Kenai
and the larger region. General Commercial is appropriate for locations along the arterial
road system. General Commercial-type development requires larger parcels of land and
access to a major road system. It is also intended to support smaller-scale businesses.”
All of the parcels adjacent to the Kenai Spur Highway are zoned General Commercial, the
lots located behind those zoned General Commercial are zoned Rural Residential, though
the vast majority are not accessible by existing roads and have platted rights-of-way.
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
• Q-9 Encourage healthy lifestyles by providing opportunities and/or facilities for outdoor
activities
Goal 2 of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide economic development to support the
fiscal health of Kenai. The tourism industry is an important component for economic
development within the City of Kenai.
• ED-9 Capitalize on the tourism industry by marketing Kenai as a destination for
recreational activities, conventions, festivals, arts, cultural and other events.
Goal 3 of the Comprehensive Plan is to Develop land use strategies to implement a
forward-looking approach to community growth and development.
• LU-2 Promote the infill of existing, improved subdivision lots.
4. KMC 14.20.150(d)(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed
use;
Criteria Met. The subject properties are accessed via a paved, State of Alaska Department
of Transportation maintained highway. There are no City sewer services in the vicinity,
therefore, a private septic system will be required. City water services, are located in the
northern half of the right-of-way, but beyond the two hundred (200) feet required for
connecting to the public water system per Kenai Municipal Code 17.10.010. The subject
property is located approximately 255 feet from the existing water line in the ROW. The
application proposes utilizing a water well. A dump station is proposed for use by
recreational vehicles. Recommended Condition 2 requires providing the City DEC
compliance certification of the water and wastewater systems; 2. Applicant will provide a
Page 81
Resolution No. PZ2021-38
Page 4 of 5
copy of DEC compliance certification on the water/sewer system. The well as shown will
likely need to be separated further from the proposed dump station.
There is access to natural gas, electricity, and telephone services.
5. KMC 14.150(d)(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare;
Criteria Met: There are recommended conditions with requirements related to public
safety, health, and welfare:
3. Provide accommodations for trash and restroom facilities.
4. Prior to starting operations, a landscape/site plan must be reviewed and
approved by the Planning Director, which shall include a site grading plan that
minimizes runoff onto neighboring properties and demonstrates sufficient space
to prevent backup onto the highway, and demonstrates sufficient space for
emergency service vehicles to respond to all RV sites.
6. KMC 14.150(d)(6) Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Commission
to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions should be met by the applicant. These may
include, but are not limited to, measures relative to access, screening, site development,
building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the proposed
use.
See Conditions of Approval as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA:
Section 1. That a conditional use permit is granted to Casey & Llana Gaze for a Recreational

GENERAL INFORMATION
The applicant, Casey and Llana Gaze, have submitted a conditional use permit application for a
32 space recreational vehicle park for summer use. Per Kenai Municipal Code 14.22.010 Land
use table, a recreational vehicle park land use requires a conditional use permit in both the
General Commercial and Rural Residential zoning districts.
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: Property location is accessible and convenient to motorists and
pedestrians using Kenai Spur Highway and pathway. Property will generate added
revenue to City of Kenai.
Staff Response: Both 6575 Kenai Spur Highway and 6607 Kenai Spur Highway are zoned
General Commercial (CG). The proposed Recreational Vehicle Park meets the intent of
the General Commercial Zone (CG) to provide for areas where a broad range of retail,
wholesale, and service establishments is desirable. Uses are regulated to concentrate
commercial development to the greatest extent possible and to prevent any uses which
would have an adverse effect upon nearby properties. New single- and two (2) family
residential uses and other noncommercial uses, except as otherwise provided in this
chapter, are not permitted in this zone as principal uses because it is intended that land
classified in this zone be reserved for commercial purposes, and because a commercial
zone is not suited to the uses excluded above. A Recreational Vehicle Park would be a
primary commercial use.
3415 Mudhen Drive is designated Rural Residential (RR). The RR Zone is intended to
provide for low density residential development in outlying and rural areas in a form which
creates a stable and attractive residential environment. The specific intent in establishing
this zone is:
Page 85
Page 3 of 6
(1) To separate residential structures to an extent which will:
(A) Preserve the rural, open quality of the environment;
(B) Prevent health hazards in areas not served by public water and sewer.
(2) To prohibit uses which would:
(A) Violate the residential character of the environment;
(B) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas.
A Recreational Vehicle Park is consistent with the intent of the Rural Residential District
by preserving the rural, open quality of the environment with a site design that preserves
as many trees as possible and creates privacy between neighboring parcels as well as
RV parking spaces. Recommended Condition 2. Applicant will provide a copy of DEC
compliance certification on the water/sewer system. The well as shown will likely need to
be separated further from the proposed dump station; would prevent health hazards in an
area not served by public sewer and that is served by private well.
Parcels in the vicinity of the subject parcels, do not have a residential character and consist
of general commercial uses and vacant lots. The proposed use would increase the amount
of traffic entering and existing the subject properties, but would not be generating heavy
traffic in a predominantly residential area.
The Land Use Table provides that Recreational Vehicle Parks are a conditional use for
both General Commercial and Rural Residential Zoning Districts; therefore, a conditional
use permit must be granted for the operation of a Recreational Vehicle Park. 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: Adjoining properties & secondary roads are undeveloped. Seasonal
use in summer of park will not require any upgrade of roads or pathway. Trees and
vegetation to remain along adjoining property lines and between parking spaces.
Resulting in a low density development.
Staff Response:
The adjacent parcels located to the South, East and West are vacant. Parcels to the North,
across the Kenai Spur Highway consist of a propane business, a Homer Electric
Association facility, and a steel distributor, all general commercial land uses that should
not be negatively impacted by the proposed recreational vehicle park. Both the economic
and noneconomic value of adjacent properties should not be significantly impacted by this
change.
Page 86
Page 4 of 6
Criteria #3: The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
Applicant Response: R.V. Park will provide a much needed service in Kenai. The
wellbeing of all age groups is promoted by opportunity of nearby pathway, local
businesses, and outdoor activities such as sport fishing and personal use dipnetting.
Staff Response: The Land Use Plan, from the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, proposes a
General Commercial land use for this neighborhood. The General Commercial Land Use
Classification is defined in the Comprehensive Plan:
“General Commercial is intended for retail, service, and office businesses that serve Kenai
and the larger region. General Commercial is appropriate for locations along the arterial
road system. General Commercial-type development requires larger parcels of land and
access to a major road system. It is also intended to support smaller-scale businesses.”
All of the parcels adjacent to the Kenai Spur Highway are zoned General Commercial, the
lots located behind those zoned General Commercial are zoned Rural Residential, though
the vast majority are not accessible by existing roads and have platted rights-of-way.
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
Q-9 Encourage healthy lifestyles by providing opportunities and/or facilities for
outdoor activities
Goal 2 of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide economic development to support the
fiscal health of Kenai. The tourism industry is an important component for economic
development within the City of Kenai.
ED-9 Capitalize on the tourism industry by marketing Kenai as a destination for
recreational activities, conventions, festivals, arts, cultural and other events.
Goal 3 of the Comprehensive Plan is to Develop land use strategies to implement a
forward-looking approach to community growth and development.
LU-2 Promote the infill of existing, improved subdivision lots.
Criteria #4: Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Applicant Response: Yes. Adequate power supply from HEA in front of property to be
installed underground. Potable water from existing well will conform to public use
standards. Dump station to be engineered to state and local requirements.
Staff Response: The subject properties are accessed via a paved, State of Alaska
Department of Transportation maintained highway. There are no City sewer services in
the vicinity, therefore, a private septic system will be required. City water services, are
located in the northern half of the right-of-way, but beyond the two hundred (200) feet
Page 87
Page 5 of 6
required for connecting to the public water system per Kenai Municipal Code 17.10.010.
The subject property is located approximately 255 feet from the existing water line in the
ROW. The application proposes utilizing a water well. A dump station is proposed for use
by recreational vehicles. Recommended Condition 2 requires providing the City DEC
compliance certification of the water and wastewater systems; 2. Applicant will provide a
copy of DEC compliance certification on the water/sewer system. The well as shown will
likely need to be separated further from the proposed dump station.
There is access to natural gas, electricity, and telephone services.
Criteria #5: The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
Applicant Response: Clear visibility for entering highway. Center turn lane for
uninterrupted exit of highway. Long and wide driveway ensures safety of vehicles and
pedestrians.
Staff Response: There are recommended conditions with requirements related to public
safety, health, and welfare:
3. Provide accommodations for trash and restroom facilities.
4. Prior to starting operations, a landscape/site plan must be reviewed and
approved by the Planning Director, which shall include a site grading plan that
minimizes runoff onto neighboring properties and demonstrates sufficient space to
prevent backup onto the highway, and demonstrates sufficient space for
emergency service vehicles to respond to all RV sites.
Criteria # 6: Specific conditions deemed necessary.
Applicant Response: No potential impacts to neighbors.
Staff Response: See Conditions of Approval as set forth below.

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 115
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 116
The City is unique in its ownership of a large and
diverse amount of public land
5,440 Acres of Land
369 Subdivided parcels
The equivalent of 4,114 Football Fields
(with endzones)
LAND MANAGEMENT PLANApproximately 8.5 square
miles, roughly the size of
Soldotna.

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 118
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 119
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.

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.

Dear Planner and Commissioners,
This letter is regarding Resolution PZ 2021-21 and PZ 2021-40.
At the current moment I have a strong “frown” face opposition to approving this Resolution.
Some of my Questions are:
How many people would “full capacity “be for the Bed & Breakfast, along with a vehicle
number. This question also applies to the Dormitory.
What does the floor plan look like for the dormitory, what number of people, would there be a
co-ed situation? What are the bathroom facilities?
How many people are permitted under the Fire codes? Would approval by the Fire Marshall be
required? And would the be a completion date of work be stipulated?
Would there be a “Quiet Time” rule encouraged as there are kids/students living nearby?
Pending the answers and placing these stipulations below; it may be possible to change the
“frown” face into a “smiley” face reception.
Driveway entrance is off Lawton and one way exiting off Rogers. Safety hazard of Rogers
entrance, too close to an intersection and an almost blind left turn into steep icy driveway.
Would also like to see the exit onto Rogers be graded to a lesser slope so that the vehicles are
not slipping on mud or ice.
Would highly recommend a sound barrier/fence between the property at 434 Rogers and along
Rogers screening the “picnic” back yard facility.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter,
Kaye Reed
