MOTION: Commissioner Woodard MOVED to approve Resolution PZ2024-12. Commissioner Pettey SECONDED the motion. Director Mitchell presented her staff report with information provided in the packet, and explained that the applicant had requested an amendment to their conditional use permit (CUP) for a marijuana cultivation facility to allow for a portion of the facility to be used as a retail marijuana store. The criteria for CUPs were reviewed; it was noted that the existing CUP had previously received one complaint, which was researched by staff and AMCO and determined to be unfounded. Mitchell explained that the application met the CUP criteria and City staff recommends approval subject to the following condition: 1. Any development or use of the property shall comply with all applicable Federal, State of Alaska, and City regulations regardless of whether or not the requirements are listed as conditions for the approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Nicholas Mann, applicant and current cultivation license holder, stated that he had not yet begun the AMCO application as he was waiting for CUP approval, and noted that he was open to questions. In response to questions from the Commission, Mann clarified the hours and days of retail store operation; that he had changed his intent for the business to include retail after finding that standalone cultivation may not be profitable enough; that he had learned when applying for his cultivation facility license that the City’s CUP process should be approved prior to AMCO’s review process; AMCO security requirements; and that marijuana delivery was not currently legal. Director Mitchell explained the City’s process for reviewing AMCO applications, and clarified that City code limits hours of retail operation, prohibits marijuana drive-through operations, and had recently been amended to expand noticing of marijuana establishments to a minimum of 30 neighboring property owners. Chair Pro Tem Twait opened the floor for public hearing; there being no one wishing to be heard, the public hearing period was closed. Clarification was provided that amending the CUP to include retail would not change parking requirements. Sign requirements and lighting were discussed, and it was noted that because this site may be challenging for signage and a variance may be needed in the future. Mitchell noted that she had received no feedback from neighboring properties. VOTE: YEA: Twait, Pettey, Fikes NAY: Woodard, Barbaza ABSENT: Halstead, Coston MOTION PASSED.

PZ2024-13 A RESOLUTION GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DAY CARE CENTER, RECREATION, AND YOUTH CENTER. APPLICANT: Chris Parker, K+A Designstudios PROPERTY ADDRESSES: 320 and 330 S. Spruce Street LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS: Tract A, City Park Subdivision No. 2 and Tract A, Park View Subdivision KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH PARCEL NUMBERS: 04701028 and 04701018 WHEREAS, a complete application meeting the requirements of Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150 was submitted to the City on May 16, 2024; and, WHEREAS, the applicant has demonstrated 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 June 12, 2024, 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; Findings: The proposed development is consistent with the purpose of the Kenai Zoning Code and Land Use Table. The land use table indicates a day care center and recreation are conditional uses in the Suburban Residential (RS) and Urban Residential (RU) zoning districts; therefore, the proposed development may operate subject to a CUP. 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: ~ Kl;NAI Page 8 Resolution No. PZ2024-13 Page 2 of 5 (A) Violate the residential character of the environment; (B) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas. The RU Zone is intended to provide for apartments and compatible uses in areas near centers of shopping, services, and employment where high-density residential development is desirable. The proposed development would increase and improve the recreational atmosphere of the surrounding neighborhood. It is adjacent to the Kenai Little League Fields and it is nearby the North Beach of the Kenai River, which has been in place since 1976 and 1965 respectively. Therefore, staff does not find that this proposed facility would bring an impactful increase of traffic to the area compared to the existing uses in the surrounding area. The proposed development is located on a lot with split zoning, RS and UR Zones. The principal uses/structures are primarily located on the portion with the RS Zone; however, the subject area had been operated as an adolescent care facility under a CUP until the property was purchased by BGCKP. BGCKP seeks to operate a similar use and expand with compatible uses on the subject premises. The other portion of the lot is zoned RU, which would consist of the multi-use field and accessory structures/uses. The RU is intended for compatibles uses near high-density residential development but there’s no medium or high-density residential development along South Spruce Street. The vacant lot to the south may be developed as a high-density residential and this proposed development would provide nearby amenities to its future residents/tenants. Staff finds the proposed development is consistent with the surrounding uses and the subject zoning districts. 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 institutional and recreational properties, with the exception of a single-family residence and a vacant lot. The applicant states that their operation will enhance the Little League Fields to the north, as well as benefit the other properties by the educational nature of their facility. Staff does not find that the proposed facility will negatively impact the surrounding properties as this is a compatible use with the existing corridor. 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 Institutional (ITL) and Mixed Use (MU) land use classifications. The ITL and MU Land Use Classifications are defined in the Comprehensive Plan: Institutional is intended to provide an area in which government and tax-exempt institutions can offer social and cultural amenities to the citizens of the community. The primary use is public, non-profit, and quasi-public uses including government offices and facilities, schools, churches, and other community- service oriented facilities. Page 9 Resolution No. PZ2024-13 Page 3 of 5 Mixed use is intended for a compatible mix of residential, retail, service, office, public, institutional and recreational uses. Uses are co-located in an integrated way that supports sustainable forms of transport such as public transport, walking and biking, and increases neighborhood amenities. Compatibility issues are addressed through careful site layout and building design. Use of buffers may desirable. The proposed development is situated on two (2) different land use classifications. The principal uses are primarily on the portion with the ITL Land Use, which is consistent with the designation. The other portion has the designation of MU, which the proposed multi- use field and other accessory structures/uses would also be consistent with the designation. As stated by the applicant, the ability to re-purpose the existing properties for similar uses within the City is a vital component in helping both the City and businesses of this nature to thrive. Staff finds that the proposed development follows the vision of the Comprehensive Plan in revitalizing existing structures, as well as, enhancing the property for the benefit of the community. In Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 6, “Goals, Objectives, and Implementation”, several goals and objectives are met from the proposed development. Goal 1 – Quality of Life is to promote and encourage quality of life in Kenai. Objective Q-4 Promote the siting and design standards of land uses that are in harmony and scale with surrounding uses. Objective Q-7 Provide a variety of formal and informal educational programs. Goal 2 – Economic Development is to provide economic development to support the fiscal health of Kenai. Objective ED-9 Capitalize on the tourism industry by marketing Kenai as a destination for recreational activities, conventions, festivals, arts, cultural and other events. Goal 6 – Parks and Recreation ensures that Kenai has excellent parks and recreational facilities and opportunities. Objective PR-3 Promote the public/private collaboration for acquisition, development, and maintenance of youth neighborhood parks, youth sports facilities, and recreational areas. Objective PR-4 Support projects that provide additional quality outdoor and indoor recreation. Page 10 Resolution No. PZ2024-13 Page 4 of 5 4. KMC 14.20.150(d)(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use; Findings: The subject properties are located along South Spruce Street and has access to City water, City sewer, natural gas, electricity, and telephones/cable services. South Spruce Street is a paved road, which is maintained by the City. Pursuant to KMC 14.20.250(b)(8) Off-Street Parking Requirements, required parking spaces are based on its uses. The submitted site plan provides a parking calculation table on Sheet A1.0 (Phase 3 – Clubhouse Site Plan) for required parking spaces and determined the proposed development requires a minimum of 106 parking spaces; however, the indicated number of fixed seats is identified as 222 seats but the floor plan indicates 192 fixed seats, which may reduce the number of required parking spaces to 98. The total number of provided parking spaces is 113 with five (5) parking spaces designated to be ADA parking spaces. The number of required parking spaces are subject to change based on the plans submitted with the building permit application. Staff finds the existing public services and facilities are adequate to 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: As stated by the applicant, the use of this subject properties will promote active, healthy lifestyles for children and families; furthermore, it provides educational activities and athletic programs, which elevate the health and welfare of its users and the community. Staff finds that public services are available to adequately serve the proposed development. As discuss in Criteria 4, the proposed development will provide sufficient parking available for users of the site. Access to the site will be from South Spruce Street which is a paved, City maintained road. Staff finds that the proposed development will generate more traffic than the previous and current use; however, South Spruce Street serves as the only access to North Kenai Beach parking lot, which experiences a high volume of traffic during dipnet season and during peak recreational activities, the usage of the Kenai Little League Fields are increased as well. Staff finds the potential increase in traffic from the proposed development along South Spruce Street would not have adverse impacts to surrounding uses since existing uses are primarily institutional and an additional access provided off South Spruce Street would minimize any traffic congestions. Staff finds the proposed development will not be harmful to the public safety, health and 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 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. Findings: Staff finds that granting of a conditional use to operate a day care center, recreation, and youth center would not cause adverse impacts on the surrounding properties. The applicant states that impacts to the surrounding neighborhood were greatly considered and the use of landscaping buffers and screens were incorporated into the site plan and building design. Furthermore, the applicant states the design of the traffic flow in and out of the site has been developed to have minimal effects on the neighboring properties. Page 11 Resolution No. PZ2024-13 Page 5 of 5 Staff finds that specific conditions are not deemed necessary to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions. 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 operate a day care center, recreation, and youth center on the properties described as Tract A, City Park Subdivision No. 2 and Tract A, Park View Subdivision, located at 320 and 330 S. Spruce Street. Section 2. That the conditional use permit is subject to the following conditions: 1. Any development or use of the property shall comply with all applicable Federal, State of Alaska, and City regulations regardless of whether or not the requirements are listed as conditions for the approval of the Conditional Use Permit. 2. Upon request, the applicant or applicant’s representative shall meet with City staff for an on-site inspection. PASSED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, THIS 12th DAY OF JUNE, 2024. JOE HALSTEAD, CHAIRPERSON ATTEST: ______________________________________ Meghan Thibodeau, Deputy City Clerk Page 12 STAFF REPORT PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT TO: Planning and Zoning Commission THROUGH: Linda Mitchell, Planning Director FROM: Brandon McElrea, Planning Technician DATE: June 7, 2024 SUBJECT: Resolution PZ2024-13 – Conditional Use Permit – Day Care Center, Recreation, and Youth Center Request The applicant is requesting to operate a child care center, gym, clubhouse, teen center, and supporting spaces for the Boys & Girls Club and construct the development in phases. Staff Recommendation Adopt Resolution PZ2024-13 approving a Conditional Use Permit for a day care center, recreation, and youth center. Applicant: Chris Parker, K+A Designstudios Property Owner: Boys & Girls Club of the Kenai Peninsula Legal Descriptions: Tract A, City Park Subdivision No. 2 and Tract A, Park View Subdivision Property Addresses: 320 and 330 S. Spruce Street KPB Parcel Nos.: 04701028 and 04701018 Lot Sizes: 4.26 acres (Tract A, City Park Subdivision No. 2) 2.09 acres (Tract A, Park View Subdivision) Zoning Districts: Suburban Residential (RS) and Urban Residential (RU) Current Use: [Institutional] Office and Gymnasium Land Use Plan: Institutional and Mixed Use SUMMARY Boys & Girls Club of the Kenai Peninsula (BGCKP) has requested to maintain a similar use, as the previous day care center and gymnasium and expand the uses to include a clubhouse, teen center, and supporting services on the subject premises. The proposed development will be Page 13 Resolution No. PZ2024-13 Conditional Use Permit Day Care Center, Recreation, and Youth Center Page 2 of 6 constructed in phases. The overall proposal would expand the existing day care center and gymnasium, a new building for the teen center and clubhouse with new parking lot to adequately served the expansion. Future expansions would include a multi-use field and accessory structures to support community programs. Staff has included both parcels due to the approved preliminary plat (Resolutions PZ2023-17 and 2023-49) to merge the parcels and vacate the rights-of-way. In addition, the proposed development is shown on a site plan as one (1) lot. ANALYSIS Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.20.150(a), the intent of a conditional use permit (CUP) 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, 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. Findings: The proposed development is consistent with the purpose of the Kenai Zoning Code and Land Use Table. The land use table indicates a day care center and recreation are conditional uses in the Suburban Residential (RS) and Urban Residential (RU) zoning districts; therefore, the proposed development may operate subject to a CUP. The RS Zone is intended to provide for medium density residential development in areas which will be provided with common utility systems.

The RU Zone is intended to provide for apartments and compatible uses in areas near centers of shopping, services, and employment where high-density residential development is desirable. The proposed development would increase and improve the recreational atmosphere of the surrounding neighborhood. It is adjacent to the Kenai Little League Fields and it is nearby the North Beach of the Kenai River, which has been in place since 1976 and 1965 respectively. Therefore, staff does not find that this proposed facility would bring an impactful increase of traffic to the area compared to the existing uses in the surrounding area. The proposed development is located on a lot with split zoning, RS and UR Zones. The principal uses/structures are primarily located on the portion with the RS Zone; however, Page 14 Resolution No. PZ2024-13 Conditional Use Permit Day Care Center, Recreation, and Youth Center Page 3 of 6 the subject area had been operated as an adolescent care facility under a CUP until the property was purchased by BGCKP. BGCKP seeks to operate a similar use and expand with compatible uses on the subject premises. The other portion of the lot is zoned RU, which would consist of the multi-use field and accessory structures/uses. The RU is intended for compatibles uses near high-density residential development but there’s no medium or high-density residential development along South Spruce Street. The vacant lot to the south may be developed as a high-density residential and this proposed development would provide nearby amenities to its future residents/tenants. Staff finds the proposed development is consistent with the surrounding uses and the subject zoning districts. Criteria 2: The economic and noneconomic value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be significantly impaired.

Page 16 Resolution No. PZ2024-13 Conditional Use Permit Day Care Center, Recreation, and Youth Center Page 5 of 6 Criteria 5: The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare. Findings: As stated by the applicant, the use of this subject properties will promote active, healthy lifestyles for children and families; furthermore, it provides educational activities and athletic programs, which elevate the health and welfare of its users and the community. Staff finds that public services are available to adequately serve the proposed development. As discuss in Criteria 4, the proposed development will provide sufficient parking available for users of the site. Access to the site will be from South Spruce Street which is a paved, City maintained road. Staff finds that the proposed development will generate more traffic than the previous and current use; however, South Spruce Street serves as the only access to North Kenai Beach parking lot, which experiences a high volume of traffic during dipnet season and during peak recreational activities, the usage of the Kenai Little League Fields are increased as well. Staff finds the potential increase in traffic from the proposed development along South Spruce Street would not have adverse impacts to surrounding uses since existing uses are primarily institutional and an additional access provided off South Spruce Street would minimize any traffic congestions. Staff finds the proposed development will not be harmful to the public safety, health and welfare. Criteria 6: Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Commission to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions. 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. Findings: Staff finds that granting of a conditional use to operate a day care center, recreation, and youth center would not cause adverse impacts on the surrounding properties. The applicant states that impacts to the surrounding neighborhood were greatly considered and the use of landscaping buffers and screens were incorporated into the site plan and building design. Furthermore, the applicant states the design of the traffic flow in and out of the site has been developed to have minimal effects on the neighboring properties. Staff finds that specific conditions are not deemed necessary to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions. PUBLIC NOTICE 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 permit request. No public comments have been received. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff finds that the proposed Conditional Use Permit for operation of a day care center, recreation, and youth center on the properties described as Tract A, City Park Subdivision No. 2 and Tract A, Park View Subdivision, located at 320 and 330 S. Spruce Street meets the criteria for issuance Page 17 Resolution No. PZ2024-13 Conditional Use Permit Day Care Center, Recreation, and Youth Center Page 6 of 6 of a Conditional Use Permit as set forth in subsections (e)(1) through (e)(6) of Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150, and hereby recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission adopt Resolution PZ2024-13 approving the Conditional Use Permit, subject to the following conditions: 1. Any development or use of the property shall comply with all applicable Federal, State of Alaska, and City regulations regardless of whether or not the requirements are listed as conditions for the approval of the Conditional Use Permit. 2. Upon request, the applicant or applicant’s representative shall meet with City staff for an on-site inspection.

PZ2024-14 A RESOLUTION GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR CABIN RENTALS OF A FOUR-FAMILY DWELLING. APPLICANT: Rebecca S. Ross PROPERTY ADDRESS: 106 N. Tinker Lane LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 3, Block 1, Scalf Subdivision KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH PARCEL NUMBER: 04515201 WHEREAS, a complete application meeting the requirements of Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150 was submitted to the City on May 16, 2024; and, WHEREAS, the applicant has demonstrated 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 June 12, 2024, 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; Findings: The proposed use is consistent with the purpose of the Kenai Zoning Code and Land Use Table. The land use table indicates a cabin rental (i.e., short-term rental) is a conditional use; therefore, a conditional use permit may be granted for a cabin rental. 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: (A) Violate the residential character of the environment; ~ Kl;NAI Page 30 Resolution No. PZ2024-14 Page 2 of 4 (B) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas. The proposed use would not violate the residential character of the neighborhood as it would function as both long-term and short-term rentals. Furthermore, the proposed use is not anticipated to generate heavy traffic as the applicant intends to limit the number of adult guests, which would operate similar to the long-term rentals. The existing density would remain unchanged since there is no proposed alteration to increase the number of dwelling units. The proposed use is strictly limited to the fourplex. Staff finds that the proposed use meets the intent of the RS zoning district. 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 proposed use is similar to the adjacent property to the south, located at 104 N. Tinker Lane. In early 2022, a CUP was granted for a cabin rental at 104 N. Tinker Lane (Resolution PZ2022-01) and the City has not received any zoning complaints on the cabin rental operation. Staff finds the proposed use, similar to the adjacent property, would not have an adverse impact on the neighborhood and adjoining properties. As noted in the application, the applicant intends to enhance and improve the property’s curb appeal, thus. improving property values of the property and adjacent properties. Each unit has its own designated parking, utilities, and refuse. Staff finds the proposed use would not impair the economic and noneconomic value of adjacent properties and neighborhood. 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 (SR) land use classification. The SR 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 surrounding uses are residential to the north, a cabin rental to the south, a residence to the east and Kenai Middle School to the west. Within the vicinity, there are nonresidential uses, such as the Kenai Central High School, Disc Golf Course, and Oiler’s Ball Field. Staff finds that new buffers are not required as the subject property is adjacent to a portion of undeveloped right-of-way to the north, a vacant lot to the east, and a similar use to the south. As stated by the applicant, the proposed use would attract more visitors to Kenai, increase social economy, provide jobs to locals, and add value to adjacent properties with improvements in “creating a positive climate for private investment” as identified in Goal 2, Objective ED-2 of the Comprehensive Plan. Furthermore, the applicant is requesting the CUP to have the option to rent out the dwelling units as needed and/or necessary. Staff finds that the proposed use is consistent with the SR Land Use since it envisions a Page 31 Resolution No. PZ2024-14 Page 3 of 4 mixture of single-family and multi-family residential uses in an urban or suburban environment. In Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 6, “Goals, Objectives, and Implementation”, several goals and objectives are met from the proposed use. Goal 1 – Quality of Life is to promote and encourage quality of life in Kenai. Objective Q-1: Establish siting and design standards so that development is in harmony and scale with surrounding uses. Goal 2 – Economic Development is to provide economic development to support the fiscal health of Kenai. Objective ED-2 Implement business-friendly regulations, taxation and incentives to create a stable, positive climate for private investments. Objective 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 – Land Use is to develop land use strategies to implement a forward-looking approach to community growth and development. 4. KMC 14.20.150(d)(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use; Findings: City water and sewer are available and adequate for the proposed use. Tinker Lane is a paved City-maintained road. 5. KMC 14.150(d)(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare; Findings: The subject property has adequate off-street parking and buffer for the proposed use to minimize the impact to the surrounding area. The applicant indicates that generated revenue will be used to enhance and improve the property. Furthermore, the applicant states they utilize outdoor cameras, professional cleaning services, and limit on the number of adult guests with close monitoring. Staff finds the proposed use with the proposed measures by the applicant will not be harmful to the public safety, health and 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 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. Findings: Staff finds that allowing short-term rentals of the existing fourplex would not cause any adverse impacts on the surrounding properties. The subject property has been operating the fourplex as a long-term rental for the past 25 years without any zoning Page 32 Resolution No. PZ2024-14 Page 4 of 4 complaints or violations. Staff finds that specific conditions are not deemed necessary to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions. 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 operate cabin rentals (i.e., short-term rentals) of the existing fourplex on a property described as Lot 3, Block 1, of Scalf Subdivision, located at 106 N. Tinker Lane. Section 2. That the conditional use permit is subject to the following conditions: 1. Any development or use of the property shall comply with all applicable Federal, State of Alaska, and City regulations regardless of whether or not the requirements are listed as conditions for the approval of the Conditional Use Permit. 2. Upon request, the applicant or applicant’s representative shall meet with City staff for an on-site inspection. PASSED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, THIS 12th DAY OF JUNE, 2024. JOE HALSTEAD, CHAIRPERSON ATTEST: ______________________________________ Meghan Thibodeau, Deputy City Clerk Page 33 STAFF REPORT PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT TO: Planning and Zoning Commission THROUGH: Linda Mitchell, Planning Director FROM: Beth McDonald, Planning Administrative Assistant DATE: June 7, 2024 SUBJECT: Resolution PZ2024-14 – Conditional Use Permit – Cabin Rentals Request The applicant is requesting to operate cabin rentals (i.e., short-term rentals) at the existing fourplex. Staff Recommendation Adopt Resolution PZ2024-14 approving a Conditional Use Permit for cabin rentals of a four-family dwelling. Applicant: Rebecca S. Ross Legal Description: Lot 3, Block 1, Scalf Subdivision Property Address: 106 N. Tinker Lane KPB Parcel No.: 04515201 Lot Size: 14,658 square feet (0.34-acre) Zoning: Suburban Residential (RS) Current Use: Fourplex Land Use Plan: Suburban Residential (SR) SUMMARY The applicant is requesting to operate cabin rentals (i.e., short-term rentals) as needed and/or when necessary for traveling nurses, ambulatory staff, and seasonal tourists at the existing fourplex. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) would allow the existing fourplex to be used as cabin rentals. Ki;NAI Page 34 Resolution No. PZ2024-14 Conditional Use Permit Cabin Rentals Page 2 of 5 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, 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. Findings: The proposed use is consistent with the purpose of the Kenai Zoning Code and Land Use Table. The land use table indicates a cabin rental (i.e., short-term rental) is a conditional use; therefore, a conditional use permit may be granted for a cabin rental. The RS Zone is intended to provide for medium density residential development in areas which will be provided with common utility systems.

Page 47 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Linda Mitchell, Planning Director DATE: June 7, 2024 SUBJECT: Discussion/Action - Proposal to Reduce the Number of Meetings for Planning and Zoning Commission As reported during a previous Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission meeting, after careful consideration of the staffing and workload of the P&Z Department, staff is proposing to reduce the number of meetings for your Commission. Currently, the P&Z Commission meetings are scheduled twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday. If the number of meetings is reduced, it must either be the 2nd or 4th Wednesday to avoid a schedule conflict with City Council meetings that are held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday. The proposed change would have the P&Z Commission meeting held once a month on the 2nd Wednesday. The P&Z Commission conducts business according to City Council adopted “Policy – 20.020 Commissions, Committees and Council on Aging Procedures” (copy attached). This policy was last revised and adopted in April 19, 2023. The policy includes the following stipulation regarding the regular meeting schedule and days of the P&Z Commission. Policy Subsection C.1. Commission, Committee and Council on Aging meet schedule is as follows: Commission Meeting Schedule Scheduled Meeting Days Planning & Zoning Commission Twice monthly Second & fourth Wednesday An amendment to the subject policy to change the meeting schedule and days for P&Z Commission requires City Council’s approval.

If the vote fails, the meetings will continue to be held twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday. Thank you for your consideration.
