ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS
5-a. Discussion -- Rates and Fees
Airport Director Cronkhite provided additional information regarding rates and fees for
the airport. The following was discussed:
· Parking lot charges (and enplanements) have gone down draStically since
March 2002 as more people are driving. Charging extra for long and short-term
parking could be counterproductive at this time.
· Research what other airports do in regard to off-airport car rental
taxation.
The Commission made the following recommendations'
· Propose a change or addition to the current ordinance that regulates off-
airport car rental charges to 10%.
· The Airport Manager will bring a national sample/matrix of national off-
airport rental fees.
Discussion -- Airport Advertising
Cronkhite requested the Commission review the advertisement enclosed in their
packets. Cronkhite explained this advertisement was used in the Civil Air Patrol,
Anchorage Daily News, and the Alaska Airway Association. To date, the ad had not
been sent to the Alaska Journal of Commerce.
Cronkhite was requested to obtain demographic information from magazines for
advertising purposes.
ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS
Discussion -- Grand Opening/New Operations Facility
The Commissioners were reminded of the Grand Opening of the new operations facility,
scheduled for Friday August 9, 2002 from 4-8 p.m. and were encouraged to attend.
Discussion -- Airport Passenger Leakage and Fare Study
Cronkhite presented the Commission with an AirpOrt Traffic Summary that provided
basic information on the Top 50 Domestic O&D Passenger Markets at Kenai, Average
Fares and Yield, Airline Market Shares at Kenai, etc. for 2001. Cronkhite stated car
rentals at the Kenai Airport decreased by 30% and enplanements were down by 7,000
since the fare increase from last March. Cronkhite suggested a new survey be
conducted to try and confwrn why passengers are choosing to drive. Cronkhite stated
the survey plan would include'
· Market research (ticket auditing)..
· Pursue leakage study to determine the amount of people actually driving.
· Develop an airport marketing plan.
· Consulting group would solicit potential flyers/businesses for new airline
contracts.
Cronkhite stated.the use of this study would also be used for FAA grant information as
money is given to communities with excessively high air service. This survey could
help to qualify the Kenai Airport for the grant. The approximate total for developing
the plan would be $20,000.
The Commissioners unanimously supported Cronkhite's request to present the survey
proposal to City Council for approval.

ITEM 8:
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND ~URSTIONS
Commissioner Watkins inquired as to if the City of Kenai and the Kenai Airport had
considered gas and electricity negotiations with Aurora. Additionally, Watkins
requested new keypads to be installed on the gates for after-hour use. Cronkhite
informed Watkins of a grant she is currently working on which would be dedicated to
the installation of either a keypad or a card system.

Framework for the Future
To develop a strategic plan that will guide city policy choices about growth and
development, it is necessary to consider the opportunities and challenges
associated with each. These issues form the framework for making planning
choices.
The development policies are designed to guide the pattern, location and scale of
future growth. The policies are varied and range from adopting new policies to
undertaking new projects. The policies should be used in reviewing land
development proposals such as comprehensive plan amendments, rezonings,
conditional use permits, and subdivision plats.
The Land Use Maps supplement the written policies of the comprehensive plan.
The maps also provide guidelines for land use decisions. Specifically, the maps
identify areas which are best suited for the major land use classifications indicated.
The maps are generalized; exact boundaries may be subject to interpretation. Areas
at or near the boundaries may be analyzed under either or both major land use
classifications, using the goals and development policies in the comprehensive plan
to clarify intent. The Land Use Maps are not zoning maps. However, the Zoning
Map and future land use decisions, such as comprehensive plan amendments,
rezonings, and subdivision approvals, should be consistent with the Land Use Maps
in the absence of exceptional circumstances. The City's Land Use Regulations
should establish the procedures for determining these' exceptional circumstances.
Organization of the Plan
The plan is divided into three elements'
· Land Use
· Quality of Life
· Community Facilities and Services
All three elements are linked, but for ease of discussion and administration, each
element is'separately discussed in the plan. Users of the plan should refer to the
three elements when making future land use decisions.

The purpose of the land use plan is to ensure:
· an adequate supply of land;
· suitable for development;
· in appropriate ownership status;
· appropriately zoned;
· with needed utilities and services;
· for future private and public uses; and
· at desirable locations.
The following summary of local land use patterns and trends, the available land
inventory, and forecast of demand for different land uses will provide a
foundation for the land use plan.
Gross land supply. The City of Kenai encompasses 18,508 acres of land and
water or about 28.9 square miles (Table 1 and Map 1 Existing Land Use). As of
2001, about 2,800 acres or 15 percent of its total acreage was developed for
private and public uses. About 15,700 acres were vacant and undeveloped.
However, much of this vacant land is unsuitable for development or in public
ownership and thus not available for private development.

Suitability for development. Much of Kenai's land base- about 10,600 acres -
is classified as wetlands or floodplain, and has limited development prospects.
Wetlands and floodplain are concentrated north of the developed Kenai Spur
Highway corridor, north of Beaver Loop Road, and along the Kenai River (Map 2
Wetlands and Floodplain). Most wetlands and floodplain are in public ownership.
Local site conditions have shaped where development has so far occurred (on
well-drained sites along highway corridors) and has not (wetlands, floodplain,
steep slopes).
Ownership status. About 5,600 acres are in private ownership, with the
balance mainly in state (6,519 acres), city (5,321), borough (731), federal (196),
or other (138) ownership (Map 3 Land Ownership). An estimated 5,100 acres-
almost twice the area now developed for use - are vacant, largely in private
ownership, outside of wetlands and floodplain, and suitable for development.
Zoning status. Based on existing residential, commercial, and industrial land
use patterns, and estimated demand for'land for those uses through 2020, the
gross supply of privately owned, developable, appropriately zoned sites appears
more than adequate for future development needs (Table 2 and Map 4 Existing
Zoning).
Table 2. Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Land Uses (acres)
By Existing Use, Now Vacant and Zoned, and Estimated Demand by 2020
Existing Now Vacant Estimated Demand
Type of Use Land Use and Zoned~ by 20202
Rural residential'~ 1,059 11,343 400
Suburban residential 551 856 200
Urban residential 3 12 3-5
Commercial 228 246 80-100
Industrial 287 442 100
'-f Much of the acreage now zoned~f°r rural residential use is wetlands or fl~'ubli~~
ownership. Still, the invento~t of private, developable land zoned for rural residential use is very
ample for future demand. Almost all land zoned for suburban and urban residential, commercial,
or industrial use is prhtately own~ and suitable for development. Seo Figures X and ×.
2 Kenai's population is estimated to grow by about 35 percent by 2020. Demand for future land
use by type was estimatod by applying that growth factor to existing land use.
Utilities and Services. Maps 5 and 6 (City Water Lines and City Sewer Lines)
show the areas of Kenai now served by city water and sewer utilities. With the
exception of BeaYer Loop area and most of east Kenai, most of the developed
area, including vacant subdivided parcels, is served by city utilities. Similarly,
most of the vacant unsubdivided tracts near the developed area are also
reasonably near existing utility mains. However, the Iow-density rural residential
district along Beaver Loop Road is outside the city utility service area. Under this

district's existing density and zoning, it is not apt to require or support public
water and sewer utility services in the foreseeable future.
Future Demand for Private Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Uses.
Kenai's population is estimated to grow by about 35 percent between 2000 and
2020. Future demand for additional private land development for residential,
commercial, and industrial purposes was estimated, based on Kenai's current
population and current land use patterns. By this method, about 800 additional
acres will be needed to accommodate these future uses. (This estimate does not
include other private uses or public uses). To offer reasonable choice within the
marketplace, the available supply of land should exceed estimated demand by
25 to 50 percent.
Comparison of estimated demand for residential, commercial, and industrial land
uses to the existing zoning status of vacant land suggests that Kenai has an
adequate supply of appropriately zoned parcels for future demand.
Location. The city's zoning code and map should promote an orderly overall
pattern of land that:
· offers a reasonable choice of suitable locations for all essential uses;
· separates incompatible uses;
· can be efficiently served with public utilities and services; and
· creates a stable, predictable setting for existing and future development
investment.
The conditional use permit process has been used to permit uses that otherwise
might not fit within the intent of the underlying zoning. For example, numerous
commercial uses are on parcels primarily zoned for other uses. Conversely,
numerous parcels zoned for commercial or industrial use are actually used for other
purposes. This approach may address the immediate need of individual applicants.
However, over time, it can compromise the purpose of zoning and diminish the
supply of good sites for future commercial and industrial development. Frequent
departures from the zonin~ map suggest that the definition of some land uses in the
zoning code may not be appropriate to Kenai's present-day needs, or that the zoning
map may outdated in some respects.
Opportunities and Challenges
Kenai is fortunate to have an ample inventory of privately owned, vacant land
suitable for new growth and development. The City of Kenai and State of Alaska
also have extensive landholdings in Kenai. While much public land is wetlands
and floodplain, it has significant recreational, habitat, scenic, and natural values.
As a mature community, Kenai has some older commercial properties, notably
along the Kenai Spur Highway, that have outlived their original use. These

properties are in a position for redevelopment and rehabilitation. Landscaping
and buffering of highway-oriented commercial will also serve to enhance 'the
highway corridor. Even though the pattern of development to date has left Kenai
without a strong, vital city center, citizens have agreed that a city center is
desirable.
City Center and Millennium Square (CC): Development Policies
CC1. Foster a compact, more intensive mix of private and public uses in
the city center. The City shall'
· Define a city center "overlay zone" within which will locate appropriate new
civic, recreational, and cultural facilities and activities.
· Expand the current beautification plan to enhance the attractiveness of the
city center. The elements of the beautification plan should address
streetscape design, landscaping, public amenities, and signage standards.
· Develop a circulation and parking plan for the city center to improve
access to and safe circulation within the city center. The circulation plan
should address the year-round needs of vehicles, pedestrians, and other
non-motorized travel. The parking plan should include recommendations
for walkway, street crossing, and trail improvements, as well as shared
parking where feasible.
· Promote a mixture of intensive private and public uses in the city center,
and mixed-use buildings.
· Discourage highway-oriented, low-density, freestanding commercial land
uses in the city center.
· Encourage development of a variety of senior housing and other multi-
family dwellings in and near the city center.
CC2. Create a distinctive identity for Kenai's city center.
· Encourage the city center's evolution as a focus of all-day, year-round
cultural, entertainment, recreational, adult education, and civic activities
and appropriate shops and services to attract residents and visitors.
· Protect and enhance scenic views of the Kenai River and floodplain, Cook
Inlet, and tidelands from within the city center.
Encourage concentration of health care services and facilities in the city
center.
CC3. Create a stable, positive climate for private investment in and near
the city center.
Pursue stabilization of the Kenai River bluff east of Bridge Access Road.
Bluff stabilization is critical to long-term safety and economic viability of
upslope improvements.

Provide incentives, such as tax abatement and public amenities, to
encourage private development or rehabilitation of private properties in the
city center for appropriate uses.
· Encourage private businesses to create a Business Improvement District
(BID) to coordinate and fund private efforts to vitalize the city center.
· Provide incentives to attract small-scale trade and service businesses in
the city center.
Update Historic District design standards, currently described in the
city's land use regulations.
· Work with the Visitors and Cultural Center, Museum, property oweners,
and other interested parties to review and update the current standards.
o. Adopt development incentives in the City's Land Use Regulations that'
encourage revitalization and reuse of existing buildings;
allow for denser development;
promote redevelopment and infill in the historic district;
consider the cultural and historic nature of the area;
require that development be served by city services; and
street, streetscape, and site design for traffic and pedestrian safety.
CC5.
Prepare a development plan to make Millennium Square the
centerpiece for Kenai's city center. Desirable elements and features
for a viable development plan include:
· Identification of opportunities for private/public partnership in Millennium
Square development.
· An assessment of site environmental issues and identification of' sources
for funds that may be needed for site remediation.
· Gonvention center facility concept design for a variety of uses, includin~
conventions, visitor industry events, and community functions.
· ~esign and architectural standards to guide overall site development.
· Financially sound development for both public and private participants.
Kenai Municipal Airport
Opportunities and Challenges
The City of Kenai acquired the original airport tract from the Federal Aviation
Administration. The City operates the Kenai Municipal Airport and manages
additional properties that were part of the original airport tract. Part of the tract
that is surplus to airport-specific needs has been committed to sites for private
business development and public buildings and improvements.

The airport and associated properties are a significant public asset that can be
managed for the long-term economic benefit of the community, with minimal
adverse environmental effects.
The central location of the publicly owned airport tract has made it advantageous
for leased development for airport-related uses, and convenient for public-serving
offices and facilities. Continued support for airport-related uses will be important.
Also, the airport's in-town location creates potential for airport noise conflicts with
nearby areas.
Kenai Municipal Airport (AP)' Development Policies
APl. Adopt the updated airport noise exposure map as part of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Adopt recommended restrictions on use and development of properties in
the airport noise eXposure zone as defined in the Kenai Municipal Airport
Master Plan.
· Require appropriate notice and disclosure of restrictions on use of
properties in the airport noise exposure zone.
Define an "airport-dependent development district" to be reserved
for uses that require direct access to the airport proper.
· Restrict new development or expansion of improvements in the "airport-
dependent development district" to airport-dependent functions.
· Adopt provisions to amortize and phase out existing non-airport-
dependent uses in the "airport-dependent development district" on terms
that are equitable and consistent with ongoing demand for airport-
dependent sites.
· Reserve sites for future airport-related public functions and for airport-
dependent businesses.
Assure that the airport can maintain or expand their level of
operation to meet existing and future aviation demands consistent
with the Kenai Airport Master Plan.
· Commercial and light industrial uses that benefit from and do not conflict
with aircraft and airport operations should be encouraged.
Continue Planning and Zoning Commission review of proposed uses
of airport properties for compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan.

The natural terrain, access, and historic development patterns have shaped the
pattern of residential development in Kenai. Residential development is
concentrated in the northwest part of the city, at Beaver Loop, along the Kenai
Spur Highway, and at Kalifornsky Beach.
Kenai is also fortunate to have an existing large land inventory of improved
subdivision lots. For example, there are several subdivisions in northwest Kenai
served with city water and sewer services and paved roads with many vacant
lots. Most of the remaining vacant land is neither in the flood plain nor classified
as wetlands. This makes this area a desirable location for future development.
Beaver Loop ~oad is a more rural area in Kenai that offers unique scenic vistas,
open space and a Iow-density residential lifestyle within' an easy drive of major
city services. This area is unlikely to receive public sewer and water service in
the foreseeable future. Although most of the property in the Beaver Loop area
remains vacant, much of the lands are classified as wetlands or flood plain, and
may present more difficult building conditions for uses more intense than rural
residential development.
The Kalifornsky Beach area was made available for settlement with the
construction of the Bridge Access Road and the Warren Ames Memorial Bridge.
Better access has fostered newer Iow-density, semi-rural residential development
with onsite water and sewer facilities. Some vacant land is still available for
settlement.
In the more urbanized part of Kenai, higher density residential developments are
adjacent to commercial areas- particularly along the Kenai Spur. Highway.
Continued development of residential uses adjacent to commercial areas make
advisable some kind of buffering and screening to minimize noise and traffic
impacts upon residences. Residential uses in the city center will allow a mixed-
use environment with higher density residential with easy access to commercial
(office and services) uses.
Neighborhood quality can be improved by'
narrowing street width (slows traffic, making it safer)
· improving access within the neighborhood (to schools, parks)
increasing density (to an acceptable level in order to reduce infrastructure
costs), and
· retrofitting parking standards (fewer"seas of parking).
Residential Neighborhoods' Development Policies (R)
R1. Promote infill of existing, improved subdivision lots.
· Develop a strategy to actively "market" existing improved city-owned
subdivision lots. Tap the expertise of local' land developers and the real
estate community to create a viable strategy.

· Include landscaping standards that define when, where and how much
landscaping might be required of specific developments.
Consider Creating larger physical setbacks (buffers, fencing) between
abutting incompatible uses.
· Enforce existing code requirements and address zoning violations.
Update the subdivision code to include site design standards.
· Include standards that address the reservation of open space and
parkland upon subdivision of large tracts.
· Define standards for retention of natural vegetation in new residential
subdivisions.
· Encourage creative subdivision development that takes advantage of the
natural seeing. Where appropriate, allow flexibility in subdivision design -
especially where physical constraints (wetlands, floodplain, slopes, and
poor soils) hinder traditional subdivision designs.
Encourage a variety of neighborhoods within the city that offer a
choice of urban, suburban, and semi-rural lifestyles. Provide for a
mix of residential uses in the land use plan in balance with future
market demand.
· Provide incentives to promote creative neighborhood design.
Establish standards in the land use regulations code for various housing
types and housing densities.
· Provide for residential uses in the city center.
Lot size averaging, planned unit developments, cluster developments, and
other techniques should be used to encourage a variety of residential
types and densities in new residential subdivisions.
· Locate medium and higher-density residential development (including
housing for the elderly and disabled) near commercial centers, medical
facilities, and recreational amenities.
Support federal and state agency programs that provide affordable
housing with Iow cost energy services.
· Ensure that all government and quasi-government sponsored housing is
consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan.

Commercial Land Use
Opportunities and Challenges
Most commercial development in Kenai has located along the major
transportation corridors. Though Kenai is an old settlement site, most
development is post-auto age, and the auto has shaped land use patterns
outside the historic townsite. There are few opportunities for pedestrian access
to areas that combine residential, shopping, workplace, and other compatible
mixed uses. Kenai has no conventional "downtown"-or city center. Several
highly visible commercial malls and properties on Kenai Spur Highway are
vacant or underused at this time.
Construction of the Kenai Spur Highway/Bridge Access Road intersection - now
Kenai's busiest intersection - shifted Kenai's commercial center eastward and
away from the historic townsite area. Several commercial malls, including
Kenai's largest concentration of commercial development, have arisen along
Kenai Spur Highway near this intersection. Even so, there are undeveloped or
underused commercial properties in this area. Neighborhood-oriented
commercial development can be found at several spots along Kenai Spur
Highway and secondary State roads.
There are opportunities to concentrate commercial activities in appropriate areas
and make existing and future commercial development along the road system
more attractive. For example, the city could encourage future commercial
development to concentrate within one-half mile 'of major intersections. In
addition, landscaping on the perimeters of commercial centers and within the
parking lots, along with enhanced pedestrian amenities, would encourage
internal circulation and minimize traffic congestion.
For example, highway-oriented commercial could be enhanced using a few
simple techniques'
:> Define distances between uses, especially traffic-generators. For
example, the city could consider a 1,000-foot minimum distance between
gas stations.
> Landscape the lot, especially along the street frontage. Use berms and
hedges as screens and buffers between commercial uses and adjacent
uses.
:~ Design parking areas with dispersed landscaping and walkways to
eliminate overly large paved areas and provide a safer pedestrian
environment.
:> Create well-defined entrances to development. Limit the number of curb
cuts and combine access points.

> Update the parking standards -design for typical usage, not the. worst-

> Explore concept of eventual divided highway for Kenai Spur Highway with
the DOT. Divided highways make for a more scenic and safe corridor.
Participate actively in the DOT road-planning process to ensure the city's
needs are built into the DOT road designs.
> Use incentives for smaller signs and combined signage.
> Use traffic studies to determine what kinds of improvements should be
required as conditions of approval.
> Adopt voluntary architectural design guidelines - describe what is desired
and encourage business to comply. This defines community values and
informs the develOper without imposing onerous requirements.
Commercial Land Use' Development Policies (COM)
COM1. Promote reuse and rehabilitation of vacant commercial buildings in
the city center and along the Kenai Spur Highway.
· Develop strategies such as tax incentives or deferments to promote use of
vacant commercial buildings.
· Consider using an overlay zone to encourage reuse of vacant buildings.
· Prepare criteria and standards under which compatible mixed uses are
allowed to ensure that the uses are compatible with surrounding uses.
COM2. Promote safe and pedestrian-friendly, walkable commercial areas.
· Require and maintain pedestrian amenities (such as sidewalks) to foster
pedestrian circulation among businesses and offices.
· Consolidate existing access points (i.e. driveway entrances).
· Combine new access points with existing ones in order to minimize traffic
congestion.
COM3. Update existing guidelines for commercial development.
· Adopt landscaping and buffering/screening standards for city center
commercial, Old Kenai, and for highway-oriented commercial.
· Setbacks, building height, and parking should be updated to address
denser development, mixed-use development, and highway-oriented
uses.
COM4. In designating (zoning) areas for commercial uses, consider the
following factom:
· Does the use have access to a collector or arterial level street;
· What is the distance between commercial developments;
· Is there access to city services; and,

Industrial Land Use
Opportunities and Challenges
Industrial land uses in Kenai total only 110 acres. About 872 vacant acres are
zoned for industrial uses. Although industry is currently a minor use of land,
Kenai ought to reserve an adequate industrial land base to accommodate future
industry and similar uses that are not suitable for residential or commercial
zones. The primary types of industrial uses include marine-oriented (fish
processing, upland storage, fuel storage, marine repair, recreational fishing),
aviation-related (storage, cargo transfer, aviation support services), and gravel
extraction which has historically been located in rural areas as a conditional use.
The gravel industry is necessary to serve local construction activities, but there
is the potential for conflicts between gravel extraction and transport and
residential uses. Gravel operations can produce dust, noise, road safety
hazards, unattractive views, and other issues that are incompatible with
residential development.
The city's conditional use and subdivision review processes are great tools for
identifying and requiring appropriate mitigating measures for both siting of pits
and for future reclamation. In addition, non-regulatory techniques such as
improved public awareness of existing and 'potential gravel extraction areas can
be use to minimize conflicts.
Industrial Land Use' Development Policies (IND)
IND1. When designating (zoning)land for industrial land uses consider the · following factors'
· Is there access to a collector or arterial level street;
· Is there access to city services;
· Is there potential for conflict with adjacent non-industrial uses; and,
· Do industrial uses pose potential hazards?
IND2.Monitor industrial rezoning.
· Conserve industrial zones for industrial uses; refrain from reclassification
of industrial zones for other uses to ensure the industrial land base is not
depleted over the long term.
IND3. Update the Industrial Zoning District Descriptions
· Review and update the industrial zoning district intent statements to more
accurately reflect industrial operations in Kenai today.

· Where necessary, add design standards that minimize the impacts from
industrial uses on adjacent non-industrial uses. Standards ,should address
light and noise emissions, dust, traffic generation, and hours of operation.
IND4. Areas designated for current or future industrial use shall be
protected from encroachment by incompatible land uses or other
uses which, by their nature, interfere with the integrity or activity of
these industrial areas.

national average is 79.6. Much
of the state is vast wilderness,

business. In recognition of this,
ABM has made special, exclu-
sive arrangements with
Alaska's passenger aidines to '
carry ABM in the seatback
literature holders of most
in-state flights.
Statewide Audience
Every major city in Alaska, and dozens of smaller towns
carry ABM in the newsstands. Any resident who flys on a
commercial passenger airline in the state is potentially
exposed to Alaska Business Monthly during their flight.
