On May 22, 2013, the Commission approved Conditional Use Permit PZ13-14 allowing nine (9) portable cabins and bath house to be installed for the purpose of housing personnel involved in the property tenant, Copper River Seafoods, activity of commercial fish processing. The applicant would like to add an additional four (4) portable cabins and a bath house to serve the same purpose. Cabin rentals must meet the requirements of KMC 14.20.150. The subject property contains 16.5 acres and is zoned Heavy Industrial. In 2005, the Commission approved Conditional Use Permit PZ05-34 to develop a recreational vehicle park on the property. This site is located off Bridge Access Road on Childs Avenue. This is the location of the original Dragnet Fisheries cannery. The property currently contains an existing fish processing plant, RV Park, boat storage yard, nine (9) portable cabins and one (1) bathhouse. The facility operates seasonally from May through September of each year. Utilities are currently available in the adjacent main processing facility and will partially serve cabin occupants. Domestic water and electrical utilities will be extended from the main plant to serve the cabin site. A PZ14-07 Comments Port of Kenai, LLC Page 2 dedicated shower/toilet building will be erected near the cabins following standard City setback requirements. Wastewater from the shower building will be routed to the City sanitary system. The site will maintain the original cannery building with parking for that building and the boat storage yard, and the RV park. The location of the additional four (4) portable cabins and the additional bath house are illustrated on the attached drawing. The site is fully fenced. Landscaping will be minimal and will be identified through a landscape/site plan when the building permit is issued for the construction. KMC 14.20.150 details the intent and application process for conditional uses. The code also specifies the review criteria that must be satisfied prior to issuing the permit. The Commission must determine that the application meets the following: ➢ The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes and intent of the zoning district. The intent of the Heavy Industrial zone is, "The IH Zone is established to allow for a broad range of industrial and commercial uses. It is intended to apply to industrial areas which are sufficiently isolated from residential and commercial areas to avoid any nuisance effect." The proposed crew housing cabin project is intended to support the commercial activity of fish processing. The area is isolated from the residential areas and the project appears consistent with the intent of IH zone. ➢ The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be significantly impaired. The value of the adjoining property should not be impaired. Adjoining property to the north is currently and has historically been used for the same purpose, i.e., to support the local commercial fishing industry. Adjoining property to the east is currently unoccupied. Adjoining property to the south is owned by the City of Kenai and encompasses a boat launch/parking area serving boating activities in the area, including the commercial fishing industry. To the west, lies the Kenai River. The design and location of the cabins is physically separated from adjacent property by a fence, setback requirements have been observed in choosing the location, and the cabin site is obstructed from adjoining properties from the north and east because of its lower elevation and from the south by existing historical structures. ➢ The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use Plan Classification as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan states that Industrial areas are reserved for marine -related industry and storage. The proposed use will improve the economic viability of the area by supporting the current, strong resurgence of commercial fish processing in the Kenai area. The proposed cabin project expands the size of work crews available for fish processing and PZ14-07 Comments Port of Kenai, LLC Page 3 therefore expands the amount of fish that can be processed at the Port of Kenai, LLC property. The resulting expansion of economic activity is compatible with and supportive of the Comprehensive Plan. ➢ Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use. Water, sewer, and electrical utilities are currently available in the adjacent main processing facility to serve cabin occupants with supplemental electrical, sanitary, and laundry services. In addition, the existing Phase 1cabins were served directly with underground electrical, domestic water, and sewer utilities through direct connections to each cabin in the case of electrical service and via a dedicated shower/toilet house in the case of domestic water and sewer services. The Phase 1 electrical service will be extended directly to the 5 proposed Phase 2 cabins. One of proposed Phase 2 cabins will serve as a sanitary facility (shower/toilet/laundry) to expand the existing sanitary services available to cabin occupants. All sanitary facility wastewater will be directly connected to the municipal wastewater system via an engineered waste handling system. The local Kenai Fire and Police stations are nearby and within a 5 minute drive. The Central Peninsula Hospital is located within 12 miles by highway. ➢ The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare. The portable cabins will be city approved; architect designed, and professionally constructed. The structures are intended to expand crew size to improve staffing and reduce extended work periods. Comfortable and habitable onsite structures will improve the quality and extend the duration of between shift rest periods. Rested crews are considered less prone to accidents and better able to tend to their personal health and welfare using nearby and dedicated utilities. ➢ 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. The dedicated wash facility must be installed and operational prior to cabins receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. Building Official: Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) approval of added demand on existing on -site water system is required. Plans, permits and approval of all new construction are required. PZ14-07 Comments Port of Kenai, LLC RECOMMENDATIONS Page 4 The proposed application to install four (4) portable cabins and a bath house appears to meet the requirements of the Kenai Municipal Code and the Comprehensive Plan. Due to the location, it appears that impact will be minimal to surrounding properties. Recommend approval with the following requirements: a. DEC approval for additional demand on existing onsite water system. b. Building permits must be obtained for dedicated wash facility and cabins. c. Dedicated wash facility must be installed and operational prior to cabins receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. d. Applicant must comply with all city, state and federal regulations. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

PASSED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, ON THE 14T" DAY OF MAY, 2014. CHAIRPERSON: 4 � ATTEST: "'Villaye with a Past, C# with aFuture" 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 Telephone: 907-283-7535 / FAX: 907-283-3014 f I 1992 ikeutyof KENAI, ALASKA V MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Francis Krizmanich, City Planner DATE: May 7, 2014 SUBJECT: Kenai Business Improvement Program In 2013, the City Council became interested in the Storefront Improvement Program (SIP) that was created by the City of Soldotna. The program was created to help revitalize businesses along their highway corridors by providing matching grant funding for storefront improvements to commercial properties with street frontage. The Kenai City Council requested that the Planning Commission review the Soldotna program to possibly create a similar program for the City of Kenai. The Planning Commission held work sessions in 2013, and also in February, March and April this year. At their last work session on April 9, the Planning Commission approved the Kenai Business Improvement Program (KBIP), which is now being presented to City Council. The staff has prepared the attached Kenai Business Improvement Program (KBIP), to reflect the final comments and suggestions approved by the Planning Commission at their last work session on April 16, 2014. For this meeting I would like to present the new Kenai Business Improvement Program (KBIP) Guidelines and Application as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. • The program should be named the Kenai Business Improvement Program (KBIP). • The Program should be limited to properties located in the commercial zone districts. These districts include the Townsite Historic, Central Commercial, Limited Commercial, General Commercial and Central Mixed zones. • Projects must front on an identified public street. • The Planning Commission recommended that City Council appoint a selection committee to decide which projects are eligible. Page I PURPOSE The purpose of the Kenai Business Improvement Program (KBIP) is to revitalize Kenai's commercial corridors by stimulating additional private investment in our local economy. By partnering with local business owners and lessees to share the cost of beautifying the exterior of a business, the program aims to boost traffic, increase property values, and improve the overall look and vitality of our city's commercial core. The program is being established to meet several goals: - Promoting development of our "downtown area" to attract both visitors and residents; - Encouraging redevelopment of key commercial areas, particularly businesses with street fronts in the commercial zone districts. The commercial zone districts include Townsite Historic, Central Commercial, Limited Commercial, General Commercial and the Central Mixed Use. - Ensuring a healthy economy by supporting a diversity of local businesses; and - Improving the streetscape along the Kenai Spur Highway. GENERAL INFORMATION The KBIP is a reimbursement grant, which can be used for exterior improvements to businesses in the City of Kenai. The amount available for each property is 50% of the cost of eligible improvements, up to a maximum of $5,000. Matching grants are paid upon completion of pre - approved, applicant -paid work. Under no circumstance will grant funds be disbursed for work completed before a Commitment Letter is provided. The amount of funding available for the 2014 program is $15,000; therefore, the City anticipates funding anywhere from three to five projects. Funds are limited, and grants are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants interested in participating in this year's program are encouraged to contact the City Planner, the program administrator, as soon as possible to begin the process. ELIGIBILITY Eligible work: Rehabilitation of building facades visible to the street, including: storefronts; signs and graphics; windows; exterior lighting; canopies and awnings; painting and masonry work; landscaping; and accessibility improvements. Ineligible work: Funds may not be used for improvements that are not permanent, mounted to the building, sidewalk, or parking lot. In addition, the following items are ineligible for funding: roofs; structural foundations; security systems; interior window coverings; vinyl awnings; personal property and equipment; sidewalks and paving (unless removing paving to install permanent landscaping). In addition, funds may not be used for structures which are non -conforming to current ordinances (for example a sign which exceeds the allowable height or area), unless the funds are used to bring the structure into conformance. Edible participants include property owners and business lessees (with written authorization of the property owner), located in the following zone districts: Townsite Historic, Central Commercial, General Commercial, Limited Commercial and Central Mixed Use. Please contact the Planning Department to determine if your property is eligible. City of Kenai, 2014 Kenai Business Improvement Program April 10, 2014 Page 12 Ineligible participants: - Properties primarily in residential use (ex. apartments or condominiums); - Structures not facing or visible from the right-of-way; - Government offices and agencies (non -governmental tenants are eligible); - New construction, less than 5 years old. APPLICATION AND SELECTION The first step is to submit an application form to the Planning Department. The form requires a short project description and rough cost estimate of the work you plan to do. The City will select projects that will provide the greatest public benefit to the community, as determined by a selection committee. The City of Kenai reserves the right to prioritize projects and reject applications. To select and prioritize projects, the selection committee may consider any of the following factors: - Creative value of the project; - Current condition of the building/fagade; - Code compliance issues; - Feasibility of implementing applicant's goals within the specified budget and timeframe; - Visibility of the proposed improvements. The program administrator will notify you whether your project was selected for funding. If selected, you will solicit contractor bids, and sign a 'Letter of Commitment,' as noted below. BIDDING The City of Kenai requires that you get one bid for each type of work you are doing. All contractors must be licensed by the State of Alaska, and all construction contracts will be between the applicant and contractor. Owner labor will not be reimbursed under the program. LETTER OF COMMITMENT The next step is to submit all contractor bids to the City for final review. The contractor bids will be considered by the City in determining the final funding amount for the project. The City will then draft up a 'Commitment Letter,' which will outline additional terms and conditions of the matching grant, and will serve as the legal commitment of both parties as to the scope and quality of work, and the amount of funds committed. The Commitment letter will also set a deadline for the project to be completed by, as agreed to by the applicant and City. BUILD IT After the Commitment Letter is signed by the City and applicant, proceed with construction of your project. Please retain all invoices and material receipts during the project, as you will need these later when you request reimbursement. Please also remember that only those improvements outlined in the Commitment Letter are eligible for reimbursement, so it will be City of Kenai, 2014 Kenai Business Improvement Program April 10, 2014 Page 13 your responsibility to keep sufficient records, if needed, to separate out work which you may have completed at the same time, but which was not connected to the grant. REIMBURSEMENT OF FUNDS Prior to reimbursement of funds, City staff will review all completed work for compliance with the Commitment Letter. The City will verify receipts and invoices, and will issue a reimbursement check to the owner for the amount indicated in the agreement, or 50% of the actual project cost (if less than the amount indicated in the agreement). The City of Kenai has the authority to determine eligibility of proposed work and confirmation of completed work. Certain work may be required or precluded as a condition of funding. Participants will be responsible for obtaining necessary regulatory approvals, including those of the Planning and Zoning or Building Departments when applicable. All work must comply with city, state, and federal regulations. GENERAL CONDITIONS The following general conditions apply to all projects: - Improvements funded by the grant shall be maintained in good order for a period of at least five (5) years; graffiti and vandalism will be dutifully repaired by the applicant during this time period. - Borough property and sales tax must be current, and participants shall have no debts in arrears to the City when the Commitment Letter is issued. - Eligible properties qualify for a maximum of $5,000. You may apply more than once as long as the building doesn't exceed the maximum grant amount in a 5-year period. If a property is sold and the new owner wishes to apply for the grant, the five-year time frame still applies. The five-year time frame begins at the date the improvements are completed. - The applicant must complete, sign and submit a W-9 in order for disbursement of funds. TAX INFORMATION You are urged to consult your tax advisor concerning the taxability of grants. The City of Ken a i is not responsible for any taxes that may be imposed as a result of your receipt of this grant payment (directly or indirectly). Grants may be reported on IRS Form 1099. The City requires that you complete and return a Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer ID Number and Certification) prior to being reimbursed. For more information, please contact: The City Planner at (907) 283-8235 The City of Kenai reserves the right to make minor exceptions to the program guidelines.

Based on the outcome of the discussion, we may bring this item forward as a proposed code amendment. Airports and Related Uses are currently listed in the Land Use Table, KMC Section 14.22.010, as a Principal Permitted Use in the Light Industrial (IL) and the Heavy Industrial (IH) zone districts. Recent development proposals have indicated a potential for new airport development in the Heavy Industrial zone. Concerns have been raised by citizens regarding perceived negative impacts to neighboring residential areas and nearby wildlife habitats by the development of a new airport in these locations. The staff opinion is that amending the Land Use Table to refer to only Airports and deleting Related Uses would be appropriate given that Airport is defined in the code; whereas, Related Uses is not defined. In addition, the staff opinion is that changing the Land Use Table to make Airport a Conditional Use in the Industrial zone districts would be an appropriate mechanism to provide for some safeguards for any new airport development in these areas. Deleting the Related Uses wording would also allow related uses to occur as they would otherwise be allowed by other zoning provisions such as Retail, Warehouse, Storage Yard, etc. without unnecessarily burdening the business community with needless conditional use reviews.
