Pursuant to KMC 14.20.080 Rural Residential Zones, the RR Zones are intended to provide
for low density residential development in outlying and rural areas in a form which creates a
stable and attractive residential environment and furthermore, prohibit uses that would violate
the residential character and generate heavy traffic in predominately residential areas. As
shown in Table 1, the proposed development provides 9 dwelling units/acre, where the RR
Zone allows for 13 dwelling units/acre; therefore, the proposed development provides a low -
density residential development. The proposed development increases the housing supply for
low-income families and senior citizens. KPHI has developed several apartment buildings
along Redoubt Avenue without any adverse impact to the traffic into the existing
neighborhood. Therefore, staff does not find that this proposed development would bring
heavy traffic into the surrounding area.
2. KMC 14.20.150(d)(2) The economic and noneconomic value of the adjoining property and
neighborhood will not be significantly impaired,
Findings: The surrounding neighborhood consists of a mix of both single-family and multi-
family dwellings. There are several apartment complexes that front Redoubt Avenue. In
addition, there is a four-plex located on McKinley Avenue, which is accessed directly from
Redoubt Avenue. KPHI has already constructed two (2) six -unit senior apartments and
two (2) four -unit apartments west of the subject lot. Staff does not find that the proposed
development will negatively impact the surrounding properties as this is a compatible use
with the existing residential neighborhood.
A landscaping/site plan has been submitted and will be finalized upon the decision of this
CUP to ensure conditions are reflected accordingly.
3. KMC 14.20.150(d)(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
Findings: The Land Use Plan, from the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, identifies the subject
property with the Suburban Residential (RS) land use classification. The RS 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.
Resolution No. PZ2024-08

The proposed use would be consistent with the development of the surrounding area. The
applicant recognizes the need for the development of safe, affordable housing for senior
residents of Kenai, and the surrounding areas. The proposed development meets the

use;
Findings: The subject lot is located on Redoubt Avenue and has access to City water,
City sewer, natural gas, electricity, and telephones/cable services. Redoubt Avenue is a
paved road maintained by the City. KMC 14.20.250(b)(8) Off -Street Parking
Requirements, state two (2) parking spaces are required per dwelling unit. Therefore, a
minimum of 12 parking spaces are required and a total of 12 parking spaces are provided
on the premises with one (1) parking space in the garage and one (1) parking space in
the driveway for each unit. There are existing public services and facilities to adequately
serve the proposed development.
5. KMC 14.150(d)(5). The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare;
Findings: The use of the six -unit apartments will not be harmful to the public safety, health
or welfare. The applicant provided the City with a site plan, which indicates that there will
be sufficient parking available for residents and guests of the development. Access will be
from Redoubt Avenue, which is a City maintained paved road; therefore, the proposed
use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
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

SUMMARY
Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiatives, Inc. (KPHI) has requested to construct two (2) six -unit
apartment buildings for senior housing (referred as Rainbow Flats Senior Apartments) in phases
on an approximately 1.32-acre lot. The first phase would include one (1) six -unit apartment
building with on -site improvements, such as the perimeterlinterior landscaping adjacent to the
constructed building and paving the fire apparatus access road and driveway. Phase 2 will consist
of a second identical or similar 6-unit apartment building within the next two (2) years. Each
proposed apartment building will offer one -bedroom units and two -bedroom units. The overall
development is shown with minimum 20-foot setback from all the property lines and a minimum
10-foot perimeter landscaping buffer adjacent to the building.
The subject parcel is vacant and was conditionally donated by the City under Ordinance No. 3217-
2021 for the development of restricted income and senior housing on the premises.
Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.22.010 Land Use Table, a six -family (residential)
dwelling is listed as a conditional use within the Rural Residential (RR) Zone. Therefore, the
proposed development requires a Conditional Use Permit.
ANALYSIS
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. Prior to granting a conditional use permit or amendment, the Commission
shall determine that the identified criteria as outlined in KMC 14.20.150(e) Conditional Use
Permits Review Criteria are met.
Criteria 1: The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes and
intent of the zoning district.
Finding The proposed use is consistent with the purpose of the Kenai Zoning Code and
Land Use Table. The land use table indicates a six -family dwelling is a conditional use with
footnote 3, outlining additional conditions for a conditional use. The analysis of the additional
conditions found in the Land Use Table footnote section will be discussed in Criteria 6.
The subject property is surrounded by a vacant lot to the north, the Windhaven Estates and
Inlet Woods Subdivisions to the east, a vacant lot to the south, and two (2) similarly improved
lots owned by KPHI, as well as the Mommsen's Subdivision to the west. The proposed
development generally meets the intent of the Kenai Zoning Code, as it meets the minimum
development requirements for two (2) six -unit apartment buildings, as shown in Table 1 below.

Pursuant to KMC 14.20.080 Rural Residential Zones, the RR Zones are intended to provide
for low density residential development in outlying and rural areas in a form which creates a
stable and attractive residential environment and furthermore, prohibit uses that would violate
the residential character and generate heavy traffic in predominately residential areas. As
shown in Table 1, the proposed development provides 9 dwelling units/acre, where the RR
Zone allows for 13 dwelling units/acre; therefore, the proposed development provides a low -
density residential development. The proposed development increases the housing supply for
low-income families and senior citizens. KPHI has developed several apartment buildings
along Redoubt Avenue without any adverse impact to the traffic into the existing
neighborhood. Therefore, staff does not find that this proposed development would bring
heavy traffic into the surrounding area.
Criteria 2: The economic and noneconomic value of the adjoining property and
neighborhood will not be significantly impaired.
The surrounding neighborhood consists of a mix of both single-family and multi-
family dwellings. There are several apartment complexes that front Redoubt Avenue. In
addition, there is a four-plex located on McKinley Avenue, which is accessed directly from
Redoubt Avenue. KPHI has already constructed two (2) six -unit senior apartments and two
(2) four -unit apartments west of the subject lot. Staff does not find that the proposed
development will negatively impact the surrounding properties as this is a compatible use with
the existing residential neighborhood.
A landscaping/site plan has been submitted and will be finalized upon the decision of this CUP
to ensure conditions are reflected accordingly.
Criteria 3: The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
Findii The Land Use Plan, from the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, identifies the subject
property with the Suburban Residential (RS) land use classification. The RS 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 proposed use would be consistent with the development of the surrounding area. The
applicant recognizes the need for the development of safe, affordable housing for senior
residents of Kenai, and the surrounding areas. The proposed development meets the intent
of the RS Land Use and furthermore, it meets the following goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
