A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA, RECOMMENDING TO THE COUNCIL THAT THE KENAI ZONING
CODE AT KMC 1.24.180 BE AMENDED TO PREVENT THE SAME OR
SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR VARIANCE PERMIT APPLICATIONS FROM BEING
CONSIDERED BY THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MORE THAN ONCE IN
ANY NINE MONTH PERIOD.
WHEREAS, currently under KMC 14.20.180 an unsuccessful applicant for a variance permit
may reapply for the same or a substantially similar permit immediately after being turned down
by the Planning & Zoning Commission or the Board of Adjustment; and
WHEREAS, allowing reapplication soon after being turned down for a variance permit that is the
same or substantially similar places an undue burden on the public wishing to participate in the
permit process; and
WHEREAS, a nine (9) month moratorium on reapplication for the same or a substantially similar
permit will ease the undue burden on the public while allowing reapplication within a reasonable
time; and
WHEREAS, an applicant may still reapply within the nine (9) month period if the subsequent
application is not substantially similar to the previously rejected application; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City of Kenai to enact a nine {9) month moratorium
on submittal of the same or substantially similar variance permits;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA recommends that KMC 14.20.180(f} be added to read:
{fj A proposed variance permit shall not be considered if a substantially
similar variance permit has been considered and denied within the nine
{9) months immediatel~precedin~
