ITEM 7: NEW BUSINESS 7-a. Discussion -- Amendment to Kenai Zoning Map -Thompson Park Subdivision -Fireweed Lane area. Kebschull referred to information included in the packet relating to the Commission's consideration of rezoning property in the vicinity of Fireweed Lane from commercial to residential zoning. The information explained, the possible rezone is due to several of the properties located in the area being zoned commercial even though the primary use is residential. Additionally, the residential use is considered anon-conforming use and could limit or restrict development options on the property. Kebschull reported letters had been sent to the property owners in the Fireweed Lane area informing and explaining the possible rezone. Of those written, she had received responses from about half of the property owners and of those, four want their properties to remain zoned commercial. She will follow up with another contact attempt to those who have not responded. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 13, 2003 PAGE 2 Bryson noted, there was an attempt to rezone same properties adjoining the "One Stop" property, which was approved by the Commission and rejected by the council some years ago. The Commission discussed those properties that may be rezoned and which ones would not be included. A request was made to have a map for future discussions with the lot numbers and current zoning delineated. There were no objections to bring the matter back for further discussion. 7-b.
