Kenai Municipal Code for Purchases and Sales currently requires advertising requests for large purchases or professional services greater than $35,000 in newspapers at least two times for public notice and distribution. The Public Works Department has recently changed to using BidExpress for online bidding and distribution. We have seen an increase in noticing due to this service and the ability to subscribe to notifications and postings. It is also free to the City and free for users to access. At the same time, we have seen a decrease in newspaper circulation and an increase in costs to advertise in the newspaper. We request removal of newspaper noticing requirements from the Purchases and Sales section of code and addition of posting these purchases and services through an online bidding platform available through the City website. It is in the best interest of the City to make these modifications for Kenai Municipal Code and your support is respectfully requested.

The Kenai Fire Department anticipated a reduction in overtime expenditures following the hiring of three (3) additional firefighters. The three additional firefighters came on board in July, mid - August and September. Actual operations demonstrated that overtime usage did not decrease to the extend projected largely due to onboarding and training of new personnel. In addition, the Fiscal Year 2026 budget did not fully account for overtime obligations required under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This has been addressed in the Fiscal Year 2027 Draft Budget. I am respectfully requesting supplemental funding to sustain emergency operations for remainder of this fiscal year.

The City has received competing applications to lease City -owned Airport land for natural gas storage, including the potential use of pore space within depleted reservoirs. These opportunities could represent a meaningful long-term revenue source for the Kenai Municipal Airport. Due to the technical complexity of subsurface storage, reservoir capacity, and associated infrastructure considerations, the City engaged Alaska Marine Power, LLC to provide specialized consulting services. Ordinance No. 3507-2026 previously appropriated $30,000 for this work, and the City executed a professional services agreement for that amount. As the evaluation has progressed, it has become clear that additional analysis is necessary to fully assess and compare the proposals, including technical feasibility, operational considerations, and potential value to the City. Because the agreement is structured on an hourly basis, the total cost is expected to exceed the original authorization. The proposed ordinance appropriates an additional $30,000 from the Airport Fund unassigned fund balance to complete this work and authorizes the City Manager to enter into an agreement for this amount. The consultant's fee schedule has been reviewed and determined to be fair and reasonable, and procurement by direct negotiation is permitted under Kenai Municipal Code. Completing a comprehensive and technically sound evaluation is essential for the City to make informed decisions regarding natural gas storage opportunities on City -owned Airport lands. Administration recommends approval of the ordinance increasing estimated revenues and appropriations in the Airport Fund and authorizing additional funding for consulting services with Alaska Marine Power, LLC to evaluate natural gas storage opportunities on Kenai Municipal Airport lands. Thank you for your consideration.

Acquiring a second compatible unit will allow attachments to be used interchangeably across both tractors. Standardizing on a single tractor platform simplifies maintenance and improves staff proficiency, as both operators and maintenance staff will work with one consistent system rather than multiple equipment types. Rather than conducting a separate competitive bid process, the City is utilizing innovative procurement pursuant to KMC 7.15.070(b)(4), which authorizes purchases through contracts established by other governmental agencies. Sourcewell is a service cooperative created by the Minnesota Legislature that combines the purchasing power of more than 50,000 government, education, and nonprofit organizations to secure competitively solicited pricing on behalf of its members. The City of Kenai is a Sourcewell member and will utilize the a Sourcewell contract to meet procurement requirements and achieve cost-effectiveness for the City.

This memo requests Council's approval to complete a one-year extension of a contract to purchase water and wastewater chemicals with Brenntag Pacific. Last year the City completed a bid for water and wastewater chemicals and Brenntag Pacific was the low bidder and awarded the contract. The City has concerns about bidding annual supply contracts with associated impacts to logistics and fuel prices that exist. We reached out to Brenntag Pacific and asked if it would be possible to extend the current contract. KMC 7.15.070 (b)(6) allows the City to make purchases by direct negotiation if found to be in the best interest of the City and sufficient information is available to ensure a fair and reasonable price. The price was competitively bid a year ago and determined to be fair and reasonable. Extending the price an additional year is acceptable and we have allowed for fuel surcharge increases as negotiated. The Public Works Department recommends a one-year contract extension with Brenntag Pacific in the amount of $87,400.36. Award of this agreement is in the best interest of the City. Council's approval is respectfully requested. KENAI CITY OF KENAI RESOLUTION NO. 2026-33 Sponsored by: Administration A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXTENSION OF A CONTRACT FOR REFUELING SERVICES FOR CITY FACILITY FUEL TANKS. WHEREAS, the City previously bid a three-year contract with two one-year extentions for refueling services for City facility fuel tanks; and, WHEREAS, Crowley Fuels was the only bidder with a negotiated agreement for 2.203% discount from the OPIS Rack Average; and, WHEREAS, Crowley Fuels has requested a modification of the agreement to a $0.31 increase over OPIS Rack Average due to current fuel prices, operational costs and variable fuel usage; and, WHEREAS, the Public Works Department is concerned about bidding a new long-term fuel services contract with variable fuel pricing; and, WHEREAS, KMC 7.15.070 (b)(6) allows the City to make a purchase by direct negotiation; and, WHEREAS, extending the pricing for one-year is fair and reasonable with the City reevaluating fuel costs in 2027; and, WHEREAS, the contract supplies fuel for various City owned fuel tanks; and, WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City to complete a one-year extension with Crowley Fuels. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA: Section 1. That the City Manager is authorized to execute a contract extension with Crowley Fuels for $0.31 above OPIS Rack Average for the refueling services for City facility fuel tanks. Section 2. That this Resolution takes effect immediately upon passage. PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, THIS 6T" DAY OF MAY, 2026.

This memo requests Council's approval to complete a one-year extension of a contract to provide refueling services for City facility fuel tanks. Resolution 2023-36 authorized a three-year agreement for providing refueling services for the City. The resolution allows for two one-year extensions to the agreement. Crowley Fuels has indicated that they cannot extend the agreement without a price adjustment. Crowley was the only bidder on the contract at the time and what was negotiated for final contract was a 2.203% discount from the OPIS Rack Average. They are requesting the new rate be $0.31 added to the OPIS Rack Average. KMC 7.15.070 (b)(6) allows the City to make purchases by direct negotiation if found to be in the best interest of the City and sufficient information is available to ensure a fair and reasonable price. Crowley has operated at the discount for three -years per the contract requirements and state that not all operational costs were considered at the time of the bid, but they have honored their price for the length of the contract. The percentage reduction was more difficult for them as fuel prices increased. In addition, our fuel usage has fluctuated considerably over the length of the contract as it is extremely variable with snow fall and equipment usage. The City has concerned about bidding a new long-term contract for fuel services at this time with fuel pricing being extremely variable. We recommend extending this contract for the one-year term and reevaluating in 2027. The Public Works Department recommends a one-year contract extension with Crowley Fuels with the terms modified to be $0.31 increase to OPIS Rack Average. Award of this agreement is in the best interest of the City. Council's approval is respectfully requested. KENAI CITY OF KENAI RESOLUTION NO. 2026-34 Sponsored by: Administration A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING CITY SUPPORT OF NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICIES AS OUTLINED IN TITLE VIII OF THE 1968 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT KNOWN AS THE FEDERAL FAIR HOUSING ACT TO COMPLY WITH CERTAIN GRANT REQUIREMENTS. WHEREAS, the United States Congress passed Public Law 90-284 which refers to the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended in 1988 and also known as the Federal Fair Housing Act; and, WHEREAS, the Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination against certain classes of people and the manner in which local governments may regulate housing for certain groups of people; and, WHEREAS, recipients of Community Development Block Grant funds must affirm to further fair housing as a condition of the grant award; and, WHEREAS, the City has historically provided similar grant assurances affirming non-discrimination in housing dating from 1984; and, WHEREAS, the City has also established a non-discrimination clause in Article XIII, Section H in all standard lease forms; and, WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City to reaffirm non-discrimination polices while receiving grant funding through the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development in support of low-income and senior housing. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA: Section 1. That within available resources the City will assist all persons who fell they have been discriminated against because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, family status, or handicap status, to seek equity under federal and state laws by filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Seattle Regional Office Compliance Division. Section 2. That the City will publicize this Resolution and through this publicity shall cause owners of real estate, developers, and builders to become aware of their respective responsibilities and rights under the federal Fair Housing Act and any applicable state or local laws/ordinances.

Title VI II of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, familiarly known as the Fair Housing Act, prohibited discrimination in the sale or rental of housing on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. It was amended in 1988 to provide stiffer penalties, establish an administrative enforcement mechanism and expand its coverage to prohibit discrimination on the basis of familial status and handicap. By amending this law, Congress demonstrated a renewed commitment to achieving fair housing. In addition to prohibiting a wide range of discriminatory practices, the Fair Housing Act requires recipients of federal Community Development Block Grant funds to certify that they will affirmatively further fair housing as a condition of receiving the CDBG funds. The City will do so with the adoption of this resolution. CDBG Grantee local governments are required to develop proposed actions to affirmatively further fair housing at the local level, for State review. Actions taken to affirmatively further fair housing must further the policies of the Fair Housing Act and include activities to assure nondiscrimination in housing transactions. Working for a number of years with the project partner, Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiatives, Inc.. is one of the latest demonstrations of the City's commitment to work actively with nonprofits and other potential partners whose goal is to further fair housing. The City has provided similar grant assurances since 1984 and has established non-discrimination policies in various documents such as the standard lease form and within the personnel policy. Thank you for your consideration. KENAI CITY COUNCIL — REGULAR MEETING Page 32 APRIL 22, 2026 — 6:00 P.M. KENAI CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS 210 FIDALGO AVE., KENAI, AK 99611 MAYOR HENRY H.

ATTEST: Michelle M. Saner, MMC, City Clerk Henry H. Knackstedt, Mayor Introduced: Enacted: Effective: March 18, 2026 April 1, 2026 May 1, 2026 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] L I000, City of Kenai MEMORANDUM K E N 4 210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.75351 www.kenai.city TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager FROM: Kevin Buettner, Planning Director DATE: March 9, 2026 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3510-2026 —Amending the Official Zoning Map by Rezoning the Property at 10060 Kenai Spur Highway from Conservation to Suburban Residential Zoning District. The Administration requested a rezone of an 81-acre parcel located at 10060 Kenai Spur Highway from Conservation to the Suburban Residential (RS) zoning district. The RS zone is intended to provide for medium -density residential development in areas served by common utility systems while maintaining adequate light, air, privacy, and the residential character of neighborhoods. The parcel is adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods within walking, biking, or short driving distance to commercial services, including Walmart, Home Depot, and Safeway. In August 2025, the City applied to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Alaska Region for a deed of release to remove FAA restrictions on the parcel, located east of the airport. The FAA approved the Deed of Release on September 15, 2025, and it was subsequently recorded with the State of Alaska. The release removed several restrictions and allows the land to be leased for other than aeronautical uses and also may be sold for fair market value if authorized by the City. Most of the parcel consists of lowland drainage areas and associated wetlands that are not suitable for development. However, approximately 10-15 acres of uplands along the eastern edge of the parcel, adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods, may be suitable for residential development. These upland areas are near existing City utilities located at the corner of Princess Lane and Magic Avenue. Under the current Conservation zoning, residential development is only allowed through a Conditional Use Permit. Rezoning the suitable upland areas to Suburban Residential would align with the adjacent residential zoning districts and allow low- to medium density housing in an area where utilities are available. The property is currently designated Parks, Recreation, and Open Space in the Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Most of the parcel would remain open space due to the drainage conditions, while the approximately 10-15 acres of upland area could support residential development, mostly on the eastern edge has upland portions that would be suitable following subdivision of the property. A Comprehensive Plan amendment is not required because residential uses are allowed in the Conservation zone, with a Conditional Use Permit. The City anticipates updating the Comprehensive Plan in the coming years, which may include a new Land Use Plan. The Comprehensive Plan supports this rezoning in the following identified goals: Goal 3 — Land Use: Develop land use strategies to implement a forward -looking approach to community growth and development. LU-3: Review existing zoning and subdivision codes to determine if they address current and future land uses adequately The City recently conducted a statistically valid community survey that identified housing as a significant concern. Seventy-four percent of respondents indicated Kenai has a housing affordability or affordability and availability problem, and 46.7 percent said housing affordability and availability should be a top priority over the next five years. Portions of this parcel were identified as one of the few remaining City -owned properties adjacent to existing utilities that could support residential development without requiring major new infrastructure. At its February 25, 2026 meeting, the Planning & Zoning Commission considered the Administration's request to rezone the parcel to Suburban Residential. Several members of the public spoke, raising concerns about potential impacts including development of wetlands, effects on nearby wells and septic systems, traffic and road conditions, and the possible extension of Magic Avenue. Others emphasized the ecological importance of the wetlands and ravine areas that serve as headwaters to a tributary of the Kenai River and salmon habitat. During discussion, staff clarified that only about 10-15 acres of upland near existing utilities would likely be suitable for residential development and that wetlands and lowland areas would remain protected. Development would still require subdivision, platting, and developer -funded infrastructure improvements. Following discussion, the Commission amended the proposal to recommend rezoning the property to Rural Residential 1 (RR-1) rather than Suburban Residential (RS), and the amended motion passed. The Administration believes rezoning to RR-1 will likely deter development of this property due to the required minimum lots size of 20,000 square feet compared to 7,200 square feet in the RS zone. Development costs, installation of roads and utilities, are significant and requiring lots of at least 20,000 square feet would make development uneconomical. The RR-1 zone also prohibits structures with more than five dwelling units and requires a conditional use permit for structures with more than three dwelling units. Because the property is within walking, biking, or short driving distance to commercial services, it is an ideal location for higher density development. While the application is not yet complete, the Administration is working with a developer who is interested in constructing a multifamily development in Kenai which may not be permitted in a RR-1 zone. Additionally, after further consideration, Administration believes that for purposes of future development of the property, this is an appropriate situation for creating a split zone. Only the developable uplands portion of the lot would be rezoned, and the lowland wetlands would remain conservation. This would facilitate a future subdivision for development. Page 2 of 3 The City of Kenai I www.kenai.city The Administration requests that this ordinance be considered non -routine and removed from the consent agenda and referred back to planning and Zoning. Administration recommends referring the request back to the Planning & Zoning Commission to reconsider the Administration's original request to amend the zoning to RS and to consider a split -zone approach. Under this approach, the upland portion of the parcel suitable for residential development would be rezoned to RS, while the larger portion of the property containing drainages and associated wetlands would remain in the Conservation zoning district. While split zones are generally not considered best practice, in this case a split zone will clearly delineate the portion of the lot suitable for development from what should remain open space and not be developed. A split zone will also negate the need to rezone the remaining parcel back to Conservation once subdivision of the developable portion is complete. Thank you for your consideration.

Airport and related uses have been included in this zone to allow for the reservation of aircraft approach zones; and, WHEREAS, the City of Kenai applied to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Alaska Region for a deed of release to remove FAA restrictions on an 81-acre parcel located east of the airport; and, WHEREAS, the Deed of Release was approved by the FAA removing the aforementioned restrictions and was recorded on September 15, 2025; and, WHEREAS, the City recognizes that upland portions of the larger parcel may be desirable for new residential development near existing subdivisions; and, WHEREAS, the City of Kenai is initiating an amendment to the Kenai Official Zoning Map through the Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission in accordance with KMC Section 14.20.270(b)(1)(B) - Amendment procedures; and, WHEREAS, the area proposed to be rezoned contains a minimum of one (1) acre (excluding street or alley rights -of -way); and, WHEREAS, the proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance is not substantially the same as Resolution No. PZ2026-03 Page 2 of 3 any other unapproved proposed amendment submitted within the previous nine (9) months; and, WHEREAS, a map has been included of the proposed rezone area; and, WHEREAS, the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Department conducted a duly advertised public hearing, following requirements outlined in Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.280 for public hearings and notifications. WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds: The current zoning district, Conservation (C) is intended to apply to areas which should be preserved primarily as open areas and as watersheds and wildlife reserves. Airport and related uses have been included in this zone to allow for the reservation of aircraft approach zones. The existing Conservation zone is not the preferred land use for this area as there are no longer FAA restrictions on the property and upland portions of the parcel may be desirable for new residential development. 2. The rezone to Rural Residential 1 Zone would allow for low -density residential development adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods within walking, biking, or short driving distance to commercial services. City utilities are located at the southeast corner of the parcel. 3. The existing land use classification states that the area is to be Parks, Recreation, and Open Space. A majority of the parcel will remain as open space, as it lies within a large drainage area and is not suited for development. Approximately 10-15 acres of the parcel, mostly on the eastern edge has upland portions that would be suitable for residential development, but the 81-acre parcel would require subdivision prior to development. 4. The proposed rezone to RR-1 would align with the current low density residential character of the adjoining neighborhood. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA: Section 1. That Kenai City Council approve the rezone request for the property located at 10060 Kenai Spur Highway from Conservation (C) to Rural Residential 1 (RR-1) zoning district. Section 2.

Staff Adopt Resolution PZ2026-03 recommending approval of a Recommendation rezone of one (1) parcel from Conservation to the Suburban Residential (RS) Zoning District. Applicants: City of Kenai Attn: Planning & Zoning Department/Lands Administration 210 Fidalgo Ave. Kenai, AK 99611 Parcel No. Address Lot Size 04501057 10060 Kenai Spur Hwy. 81 acres Legal Description: T 6N R 11W SEC 33 SEWARD MERIDIAN KN W1/2 LYING N OF KENAI SPUR HWY & E OF MARATHON RD EXCL ALL BARON PARK SUBS & KENAI INDUSTRIAL PARK SUB Current Zoning: Conservation (C) Proposed Zoning: Suburban Residential (RS) Current Land Use Vacant Land Land Management Plan: Mixed — Dispose / Retain Land Use Plan Parks, Recreation, & Open Space SUMMARY The City of Kenai is seeking to rezone one 81-acre parcel located at 10060 Kenai Spur Highway from Conservation to the Suburban Residential (RS) zoning district. The purpose of the rezone is to allow for low- to medium -density residential development adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods within walking, biking, or short driving distance to commercial services. ANALYSIS Pursuant to KMC Section 14.20.270, the initiation of a Zoning Map Amendment may be initiated by the Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission. This parcel is wholly owned by the City of Kenai. The area to be rezoned contains far above the minimum of one (1) acre (excluding street or alley rights -of -way) unless the amendment enlarges an adjacent district boundary. Existinq and Proposed Zoning The existing zoning is Conservation (C) and the intent as outlined in KMC Section 14.20.070 states the following: The C-Zone is intended to apply to areas which should be preserved primarily as open areas and as watersheds and wildlife reserves. Airport and related uses have been included in this zone to allow for the reservation of aircraft approach zones. It is intended that this zone shall apply mainly to publicly owned land. FindingR In August 2025, the applied to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Alaska Regionfor a deed of release to remove FAA restrictions on an 81-acre parcel located east of the airport. On September 15, 2025, the Deed of Release was approved by the FAA and recorded with the State of Alaska. This deed of release removed a number of restrictions and allows this land to be leased for other than aeronautical uses, and also may be sold for fair market prices, if authorized by the City. Furthermore, the proposed rezone area contains a large drainage area throughout most of the western sections of the parcel. Upland portions along the eastern side of the parcel are adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods. Approximately 10-15 acres of these uplands are suitable for residential development. Conservation only allows for residential development with a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed zoning is Suburban Residential and the intent as outlined in KMC Section 14.20.090 states the following: 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, (8) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas. I . _ : The rezone to RS zone would align with the adjacent residential zoning districts. As mentioned above, approximately 10-15 acres of upland portions of the parcel would be suitable for residential development. Suburban Residential is appropriate in areas where there are common utility systems, in this case City utilities are available at the corner of Princess Resolution No. PZ2026-03 Rezone from Conservation (C) to Suburban Residential (RS) 10060 Kenai Spur Highway Page 2 of 4 Lane and Magic Avenue. This is on the southeastern corner of one of the upland portions. Comprehensive Plan — Land Use Classification The existing land use classification is be Parks, Recreation, and Open Space and the intent as outlined in the Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan ("Comprehensive Plan") states the following: Intended for those public recreation facilities, as well as undeveloped lands that provide for the conservation of natural or scenic resources. These areas can be used for a variety of passive and active outdoor and indoor sports and recreational activities. Areas that may be suitable for future natural resource development may be included in this category. Findings: The existing land use classification states that the area is to be Parks, Recreation, and Open Space. A majority of the parcel will remain as open space, as it lies within a large lowland drainage area and is not suited for development. Approximately 10-15 acres of the parcel, mostly on the eastern edge has upland portions that would be suitable for residential development, but the 81-acre parcel would require subdivision prior to development. An amendment to the land use map in the Comprehensive Plan is not currently required, as residential uses are allowable in Conservation zone, albeit as conditional uses. The City anticipates updating the Comprehensive Plan within a couple years, and a new Land Use Plan may be developed as a part of this process. The Comprehensive Plan supports this rezoning in the following identified goal: Goal 3 — Land Use: Develop land use strategies to implement a forward -looking approach to community growth and development. • LU-3: Review existing zoning and subdivision codes to determine if they address current and future land uses adequately. Findings: The proposed rezone to RS would align largely with the intent of keeping a majority of the lowland drainage areas protected, as the parcel would be subdivided and with the City of Kenai retaining ownership. This would also align with supporting Workforce Development by allowing for new low to medium density residential development in appropriate areas served by City utilities. Existing Use In the proposed rezone area, the land is vacant. Findings: The proposed rezone to RS zone would allow for upland portions of the parcel, largely on the eastern side, would allow for low- to medium density residential development adjoining and existing residential neighborhood, which has been identified as a crucial need for the City. Resolution No. PZ2026-03 Rezone from Conservation (C) to Suburban Residential (RS) 10060 Kenai Spur Highway Page 3 of 4 PUBLIC NOTICE Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.280 notices of the public hearing for the rezone were mailed to property owners within a three hundred -foot (300') periphery of the subject properties. City staff published notice of the public hearing in the Peninsula Clarion, and notification was posted. No public comments have been received as -of -date. 7AFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the findings and analysis in this staff report, Staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the rezone request for the property located at 10060 Kenai Spur Highway from Conservation (C) to Suburban Residential (RS) zoning district. Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for consideration.

If the withdrawal is timely, the candidates' name will not appear on the ballot. The proposed amendments above would amend the City's candidate filing period to reflect the change in the election date while ensuring compliance with Kenai Peninsula Borough deadlines for election programing and ballot printing; and also includes provisions that allow for candidate withdrawals for seven days after the filing period has closed. Section 5. Amendment of Section 6.40.020 of Kenai Municipal Code: That Kenai Municipal Code, Chapter 6.40.020 Canvassing and Certification of Election Results, Canvass of Returns is hereby amended as follows: 6.40.020 Canvass of Returns. [(A) THE CANVASSING BOARD WILL MEET ON THE SEVENTH DAY FOLLOWING EACH ELECTION. THE ELECTION CANVASSING BOARD SHALL MEET IN PUBLIC SESSION AND CANVASS ALL ELECTION RETURNS. IN FULL VIEW OF THOSE PRESENT, THE ELECTION CANVASSING BOARD SHALL JUDGE THE APPLICABILITY OF BY MAIL AND ABSENTEE BALLOTS, SHALL OPEN AND TALLY THOSE ACCEPTED, AND SHALL COMPILE THE TOTAL VOTES CAST IN THE ELECTION. THE CANVASS OF THE BALLOT VOTE COUNTED BY THE PRECINCT ELECTION BOARDS SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY REVIEWING THE TALLIES OF THE RECORDED VOTE TO CHECK FOR MATHEMATICAL ERROR BY COMPARING TOTALS WITH THE PRECINCT'S CERTIFICATE OF RESULTS. ALL OBVIOUS ERRORS FOUND BY THE ELECTION CANVASS IN THE TRANSFER OF TOTALS FROM THE PRECINCT TALLY SHEETS TO THE PRECINCT CERTIFICATE OF RESULTS SHALL BE CORRECTED BY THE CANVASSING BOARD. A MISTAKE WHICH HAS BEEN MADE IN PRECINCT RETURNS THAT IS NOT CLEARLY AN ERROR IN THE TRANSFER OF THE RESULTS FROM THE TALLIES TO THE CERTIFICATE OF RESULTS EMPOWERS THE CANVASSING BOARD TO RECOMMEND A RECOUNT OF THE RESULTS OF THE PRECINCT OR PRECINCTS FOR THAT PORTION OF THE RETURNS IN QUESTION. UPON COMPLETION OF THE CANVASS, THE CANVASSING BOARD SHALL PREPARE A FINAL CERTIFICATE OF THE RESULTS OF VOTES CAST BY ABSENTEE BALLOT AND OF VOTES CAST BY MAIL BALLOT, AND SHALL PREPARE A WRITTEN REPORT OF THE RESULTS.] (a) The canvass board will meet in public sessions beginning on the second day following each election and continue to meet as needed through the date of certification for the following: 1. Adjudication of the validity of absentee, special needs and questioned ballot envelopes. No votes from the absentee, special needs or questioned ballots will be tallied until the seventh day followina each election. 2. Conduct polling location evaluations by reviewing all materials and documentation returned from each polling location to ensure the integrity, and accuracy of each polling location. Page 4 of 5 The City of Kenai I www.kenai.city 3. Audit administrative and polling location accountability reports, reviewing the tallies of the recorded vote for mathematical errors and comparing totals with precinct results tapes; and, A. Obvious errors found by the canvass board in the transfer of totals between the Precinct accountability reports and results tape will be corrected by the canvass board; or, B. A mistake or discrepancy in the precinct returns that is not the result of a clear error in the transfer of results from the tallies to the precinct's results tape constitutes ground for the canvass board to conduct a recount of the results of the precinct or precincts for that portion of the returns in question. 4. On the seventh day following each election the canvass board in a public session will open and cast the absentee, special needs and questioned ballots of which the validity was verified. 5. Upon completion of the canvass, the canvass board will prepare a final certificate of results for absentee, personal needs and questioned ballots, and will prepare a written report of results to be submitted to the Council. The Clerk, as Chair of the Canvassing Board, shall report the results of the election to the Council at the next regular Council meeting following the final meeting of the Canvassing Board for each election. The amendment above would delete a substantial portion of the existing code section and replace it with updated provisions. The following summarizes notable changes: • Provides more specific language on the role and purpose of the Canvass Board. Extends the Canvass Board meeting time from one day to up to five days, to accommodate the increased volume of voted ballot envelopes requiring adjudication when the City elections are conducted concurrently with Federal, State and Borough elections. Authorizes the Canvass Board to initiate a recount when warranted, rather than limiting its role to recommending one. This recommended change would expedite the recount process and allow for a timely certification of the election when a recount is necessary.

Knackstedt, Mayor Introduced: Enacted: Effective: May 6, 2026 May 20, 2026 June 19, 2026 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] City of Kenai IL7'OV 000, MEMORANDUM K E N 4 210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.75351 www.kenai.city TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager THROUGH: Lee Frey, Public Works Director FROM: Kevin Buettner, Planning Director DATE: April 14, 2026 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3520-2026 — Amending Kenai Municipal Code Chapter 14.10 - Subdivision Regulations and Amending Kenai Municipal Code Section 18.10.030 - Street Improvements to Remove Road Design Standards from Code and Replace them with a Street Design Standards Manual. (Administration). Based on the community survey in autumn 2025, housing availability and affordability were noted as important issues within the community. This was further highlighted during conversations with the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District (KPEDD), local realtors, and both large- and small-scale developers that took place during a Housing Assessment effort sponsored by KPEDD. During the development discussions, developers highlighted the need for clean and consistent subdivision design, roadway, and utility standards. These requirements occur in several places in Kenai Municipal Code. Administration determined, in an effort to streamline development requirements, it would be best to remove the standards from code and reference a separate design manual. This policy would allow Administration to be update the manual as needed without making changes to code. The Public Works Department subsequently reviewed existing road and subdivision standards and in coordination with an engineering consultant and developed a draft City of Kenai Street Design Standards Manual. This was in an effort to reduce confusion, support predictable development review, and streamline processes for future development. They held an Open House on April 1311 and received comments from local contractors and consultants which have been reviewed and incorporated into the final document included. Council will be notified of future changes to the Manual. Utility standards are being reviewed and will be introduced at a future date. Based on these changes, and following Council's directive from the November 5, 2025 regular meeting, the Planning & Zoning Department reviewed all code reference regarding subdivision regulations, as well as road standards, which are contained therein. After hosting a Work Session Page 106 Page 107 with the Planning & Zoning Commission in late 2025, the proposed changes to code and the draft standards are presented to Council for their consideration. Thank you for your consideration.

(2) To provide information and guidelines for the design, construction, and upgrade of roads within rights -of -way. (3) To develop and maintain a safer and more efficient transportation system. (4) To minimize operation & maintenance efforts. Page 117 Al General These provisions establish appropriate standards for the design of roads. The purpose of these provisions is to: (1) promote the safety and convenience of motorized and non -motorized traffic; (2) promote the safety of residents and users; (3) minimize the long-term costs for maintenance and repair; and (4) provide guidelines and standards for public use A2 Applicability These standards apply to the design and construction of all subdivision road improvements and construction within the City of Kenai (COK). A3 Street Classifications Roads within the COK fall within one of the following functional classifications as defined by the State of Alaska Department of Transportation, Interstate, Principal Arterial, Minor Arterial, Major Collector, Minor Collector, and Local Road. Functional classification of a road is based on its function, design, and current potential use. The functional classification of existing roads abutting or affecting the design of a subdivision or land development may be reviewed during the preapplication process. Existing mapping can be found here, https://akdot.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=8d34059bbfed4fada20a4fdc2al38ac a This section provides design guidance for roads falling below arterials classifications. All interstates and arterials located within City of Kenai are owned, designed and maintained by the Department of Transportation. Local road, and collector functions including residential, residential sub -collector, residential collector, commercial, and pioneer road classifications are covered in this guide. City of Kenai Road Classification Map included as Appendix 1. A3.1 Residential Street Residential streets are local roads intended to carry the least amount of traffic at the lowest speed. The Residential Street will provide the safest and most desirable environment for a residential neighborhood. Developments should be designed so that all, or the maximum number possible, of the homes will front this class of street. A3.2 Residential Sub -Collector Street Residential Sub -collector streets are local roads that carry more traffic than Residential streets. 2 Page 118 A3.3 Residential Collector Street Residential Collector streets are the highest order of residential streets and are a type of collector. In large residential developments, this class of street may be necessary to carry traffic from one neighborhood to another or from the neighborhood to other areas in the community. Residential Collector streets should offer minimal direct access points. A3.4 Pioneer Road Pioneer Roads are intended to allow road development to access lots through undeveloped Right -of -Way and may only be used where allowed by COK. This classification establishes minimum requirements for roads providing physical access, but should otherwise be designed to Residential, Residential Sub -Collector or Residential Collector standard as required by this section. No COK maintenance will be provided for Pioneer Roads. Pioneer Roads may be constructed no less than %-width as required by the classification and be offset from the centerline of the ROW to facilitate future expansion. COK may require engineering or construction of a Pioneer Road at a higher classification if future development of a ROW is anticipated. A3.5 Commercial Street Commercial Streets serve corridors with large amounts of adjacent commercial land uses. Commercial streets should emphasize convenient vehicular traffic movement and access to adjacent properties. A3.6 Alleys Alleys are permitted provided legal and physical access conforms to COK or other applicable code. Alleys provide secondary access to lots. No COK maintenance will be provided for Alleys. A4 Design Criteria The minimum design criteria for Residential, Residential Sub -Collector, Residential Collector streets, Pioneer Roads, and Commercial Streets are set forth in Table A-1. Any unspecified design criteria shall meet or exceed the design criteria for the roadway design speed in the latest edition of A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (AASHTO). Higher design speeds may require corresponding changes to other design parameters such as alignment and will be proposed by design engineer and approved by City. Commercial streets should be designed to meet the standards of AASHTO, International Fire Code (IFC), and any other applicable standards or code along with the COK code. 3 Page 119 Table A-1: Design Criteria ResidentialUnit Residential Residential • '•.• Commercial Sub -Collector Collector Average Daily Traffic VPD <_400 401-1000 1001— 3000 — — Typical Section ROW Width' ft 60 60 60 60 60 Lane Width ft 10 11 12 11 14 Standard Gravel ft 2 2 2 0 2 Shoulder Width Shared Paved ft 4 4 6 N/A 6 Z Shoulder Width Roadway Width ft 24 26 28 12 32 Foreslope3 h:v 3:1 3:1 3:1 2:1 3:1 Backslope4 h:v 2:1 2:1 2:1 2:1 2:1 Crown, gravel % 3 3 3 3 3 Crown, pavement % 2 2 2 2 2 Engineering Criteria Design Speed' mph 25 25 25 25 25 Stopping Sight ft 155 155 155 155 155 Distance Horizontal Alignment Minimum ft 225 225 225 225 225 Centerline Radius Minimum Tangent ft 100 100 100 100 100 Between Curves Vertical Alignment Maximum Centerline Grade 10 10 10 10 6 Minimum Flow Line Grades 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 1 Intersections Minimum ROW ft 30 30 30 30 45 Corner Radius Minimum Curve Return Radius' ft 20 25 30 20 40 Maximum Grade on through street o 4 4 4 - 4 within 50 feet of intersection ' Minimum ROW required for new dedications; width of existing ROW may vary.

A temporary easement will be provided for the turnaround, which will automatically terminate upon extension of the street and physical removal of the turnaround. The centerline grade on stub streets without turnarounds shall not exceed 4%. [1 Page 122 A8 Intersections A8.1 Intersection Sight Distance (a) Whenever a proposed street intersects an existing or proposed street of higher order, the street of lower order shall be made a stop -controlled street, unless alternate intersection control is used as allowed by this subsection. (b) Stop controlled streets shall be designed to provide intersection sight distance as specified in this subsection, Table A-2, and Figure A-4. (c) The entire area of the intersection sight triangles shown in Figure A-4 shall be designed to provide a clear view from point A at 3.5 feet above the roadway to all points 3.5 feet above the roadway along the lane centerlines from point B to point C and point D to point E. (d) Sight distances less than the recommended shall only be used when there are topographical or other physical constraints outside of the applicant's control. (e) The minimum sight distances listed in Table A-2 are for a passenger car to turn onto a two-lane undivided street and minor road approach grades of 3 percent or less. For other conditions, the minimum sight distance should be calculated by the applicant's engineer according to A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (AASHTO). (f) Sight distances less than the minimum, where no other options exist, will require alternate intersection control or warning signs as determined by the Applicant's engineer and approved by COK. (g) Intersection sight triangles shall be located in their entirety within ROW or a sight distance maintenance easement. (h) Yield controlled intersections shall conform to sight distance requirements according to A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (AASHTO). (i) Intersections with state or other municipal ROW are subject to their respective requirements and review.

(b) If the above spacing along the through street cannot be met, intersections shall be aligned directly across from each other. (c) Where pre-existing conditions do not allow for the above spacing and no other legal access exists, alternate spacing or offset most closely meeting (a) or (b) above may be allowed. (d) Additional intersections should be avoided within the functional area of major intersections with turning bays and approach tapers. Exceptions require COK approval based upon constraints and no other feasible alternatives. A8.3 Minimum Intersection Angle Streets should intersect with a straight segment at an angle as close to 90' as possible, but no less than 70°, for a minimum of 75 feet from the intersection point, as shown in Figure A-5. Figure A-5: Intersection Angle 8 Page 124 A8.4 Landing Controlled streets shall be provided with a typical 30-foot landing, conforming to Figure A-6, at its approach to a through street. The landing shall be sloped to match the crown of the through street. Vertical curves shall not be located in the landing to the extent feasible. Where a negative slope away from the through street is not feasible due to topographical constraints, the road shall be constructed in a manner that prevents water from flowing onto the through street. SHOULDER THROUGH STREET CONTROLLED STREET LANDING BEGIN VERTICAL CURVE CROSS CULVERT Figure A-6: Controlled Street Landing Profile A8.5 Paved Apron A proposed street, not requiring pavement, which intersects an existing paved street shall be provided with a paved apron 30 feet from the edge of the existing pavement. A9 Driveways Driveways are not usually required to be constructed within the ROW at time of road construction. However, if an applicant chooses to construct driveways, driveway permits are required. An individual permit is required for each individual driveway along a road construction project. A driveway permit application can be obtained from COK. Maximum width of driveways shall be 30 feet. Waivers for wider driveways must be approved through Planning and Zoning Commission. New driveways through sidewalks or multi -use pathways must conform to ADA guidelines and use parallel ramps where the cross slope does not exceed 2%. Driveways connected to paved roads at a minimum must have a 2" thick, 2' wide apron extending off the edge of the paved roadway. Access onto State of Alaska or Kenai Peninsula Borough owned roads is regulated by those agencies and must conform to their requirements. COK does not require a COK Driveway Permit for access onto these roads, but the approved permits from the proper agency will be required for submittal for development of the lot. A10 Bicycle and Pedestrian Paths Bicycle and pedestrian paths constructed within public ROW shall conform to the current edition of Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities (AASHTO), and any other applicable local, state, and 01 Page 125 federal requirements. A11 Signage Signs shall be provided and installed by the applicant in conformance with the latest edition of the Alaska Traffic Manual (ADOT&PF) and the Alaska Sign Design Specifications (ADOT&PF). Signage shall be installed per Figure A-7, A-8 and A-9. Install sign posts according to soil conditions. In firm soils, drive the post to a minimum depth of 30" or refusal. In loose soils use Figure A-9, excavate the post foundation 24" in diameter and depth specified based on sign area, place the base of the post in the bottom of the hole and backfill with subbase material to existing grade. Compact the backfill with a tamping bar or other method until firm. Soil conditions and point of refusal will be determined by Designer of Record or City Representative. 12' TYP. 6' MIN. w W � w z N O K = F � w O w O O w O W W T MIN. w w z Figure A-7: Sign Placement MAJOR ROAD THROUGH STREHT --------------- W W 6 FT TO 12 FT MIN.

ADT for commercial streets shall be determined by design engineer. A13 One Way Streets One way streets shall be allowed to reduce the minimum lane width by half. All streets should handle two way traffic if feasible and request to develop a one way street must be submitted for approval with supporting information to develop one way street. A14 Access -Driveway Standards (a) The average access point spacing on roads, where other access standards do not exist, shall not exceed the minimums listed in Table A-3, based on the posted speed limit. Average access point spacing is calculated per segment and is equal to the segment length divided by the number of access points on both sides of the street. Undeveloped lots with only access to the major road corridor are counted as having at least one access point. 11 Page 127 (b) When the average access point spacing on a segment of an existing major road corridor is less than the minimum listed in Table A-3, the average access point spacing shall not decrease due to the subdivision. (c) On Roads with a speed limit of 25 mph or lower, the minimum spacing between the edges of adjacent driveways on the same side of the street shall be 35 feet. (d) Minimum corner clearance for a driveway to a corner lot shall be 50 feet from the property corner to the driveway edge. (e) Deviations in minimum spacing between access points or distances from corners may be administratively approved through Driveway Permit process. Table A-3: Average Access Point Spacing Posted Spe Limit Minimum Average ss Point Spacing (feet) A15 Paving Asphalt Paving may be required by COK. Paving may be required if extending a new road off an existing paved road and/or providing a connection between two paved roads. Isolated roadways that do not connect to existing paved roadways will not be permitted to be paved and COK would likely require paving of connecting streets until main access is reached. A16 Design Deviations Design deviations will be considered to address extenuating circumstances including but not limited to: existing substandard ROW, environmental conditions, or existing utilities or other structures. Design deviation requests shall be submitted in writing and contain supporting information, justification, and suggested solutions. ON Page 128 131 General This section establishes minimum construction requirements. Prior to any ground disturbing activities, call the Alaska Dig Line for utility locates in accordance with AS 42.30.400. Work in the ROW requires an approved License to Excavate in Public ROW and an approved Individual Project Permit for Excavation in or Adjacent to City ROW, both through COK. 62 Road Construction B2.1 Clearing Cut and dispose of all trees, down timber, stumps, brush, bushes, and debris. Cut trees and brush to a height of not more than 6 inches above the surrounding ground. Clear the ROW, slope easements, and sight distance triangles. Where ROW exceeds 60 feet, clear a minimum of 60 feet. Clear utility easements, if used, for utilities constructed with the development. B2.2 Grubbing Remove and dispose of all stumps, roots, moss, grass, turf, debris, or other deleterious material within the fill and cut catch limits of the road, within the ROW, and cleared utility easements for underground utilities. B2.3 Disposal Dispose of clearing and grubbing debris in an area designated by the applicant outside of all ROW, platted utility easements, and platted private road corridors. Organic debris 3 inches in diameter by 8 inches long, or smaller, may be left in place, outside of the road prism. Burial of cleared and grubbed organic matter within the ROW is not permitted. B2.4 Embankment Construction (a) Construct the road with the required structural section, see Table A-1 and Figures A-1, B-1 and B-2 as determined by its classification. (b) Clear the full extents of the right-of-way. Clearing debris must be removed from the right-of-way. (c) Prepare the subgrade. Remove all organics from the area below the road prism and dispose of offsite. Bench existing slopes that are steeper than 4:1, measured at a right angle to the roadway, where roadway embankment is to be placed. Excavation waste may be utilized as slope flattening where slopes exceed 2:1 upon COK approval. City may require placement of geotextile fabric. (d) Place material meeting, or verify in -situ material meets, the requirements for Subbase specified in subsection B6 to a minimum depth as required for road classification with the upper 6 inches having no material with a diameter larger than 6 inches.

Engaging younger generations with the Senior Center fosters a deeper understanding of its role in the community, helping to break down stereotypes about aging. By increasing awareness of how the Center operates and the programs it offers, more meaningful connections can be formed between senior and younger individuals. These intergenerational interactions not only help reduce loneliness among older adults but also enhance their sense of purpose and value. At the same time, mentoring opportunities allow youth to gain valuable life skills, guidance, and a sense of connection, creating positive outcomes for both generations.

General Fund revenues include higher -than -anticipated interest earnings as interest revenue is allocated out to the other funds at year end. PU Fisheries Fund will see additional expenses as we prepare in June for the upcoming July dipnet fishery. Airport Fund will see revenues increase with the investment allocation transfer in June. This report is prepared primarily on a cash basis; certain account balances may not appear proportionate at this stage of the fiscal year. For example, within the General Fund, the majority of property tax revenue is collected in September and November. As of March 31, collections are largely complete and are tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, General Fund Non -Departmental expenses currently account for 78% of the total annual budget. This higher percentage is due primarily to the full -year liability insurance expense, which was paid in July 2025. Excluding this timing -related item, non -departmental expenditures are tracking consistently with budget expectations. State and federal revenues are currently below budget across all funds due to the reimbursement nature of grant activity and the timing of PERS on -behalf payments. These revenues and corresponding expenditures will be recorded at year-end and are expected to align with the budget.

Section 2 requests authorization to execute a $30,000 contract with Alaska Marine Power, LLC, however a contract in the amount of $30,000 is currently in place and the correct request should have been to authorize a change order of $30,000 to the existing contract.

Thank you for your consideration. From: To: City Council Subject: Letter for 5/06/26 City Council meeting Date: Wednesday, May 6, 2026 1:58:26 PM I am writing you today in response to the agenda item listed to authorize the city manager to enter a lease agreement with Fox Air at the Kenai airport. I am a local Kenai citizen that works shifts in Bethel for the hospital (YKHC). I am on shift right now, and am on swing shift tonight during the meeting tonight, so this is my only option to be heard. We are the primary customer for all the airlines based in Bethel and I have personally flown on all of them many times. I can without reservation say that I am very concerned that Fox is looking to fly in my hometown. They are the absolute worst of the airlines in Bethel and are as crooked as any airline comes. Last summer (2025) the state DOT caught them red-handed lying about passenger numbers and falsifying records on flights by calling charters as regular flights. This wrongfully awarded them federal mail contracts that were later revoked when the other airlines pointed out to the DOT that Fox didn't run any scheduled flights, so how could they have a share of the mail. This is federal level mail fraud. I am personal friends with several of their former managers that still work in Bethel, and will never talk to Fox again. This includes their former director of operations who left because of the unsafe flying they do, along with lying to employees and passengers. I'm sure they are claiming something along the lines of they are doing so well that they need to expand and want to help Kenai with our lack of summer flights for tourists. I am confident in saying that this is for sure a complete fabrication. The truth is more that they are barely limping along in Bethel by begging us at the hospital for flights to make basic payroll, and the only choice they have is to go somewhere else to ruin and fail in. They have a cute logo but a terrible company and owners. If it wasn't for their owner coming into YKHC to cry and threaten that if they don't get passengers they'll go bankrupt, they would have gone away long ago. Everyone here hates them. They are not honest, they are not safe, and they are going to make our bottleneck of flights worse, not better. Please please please don't approve a lease with them. They have already ruined one part of the state, don't let them ruin ours. Blaine Dempture Concerned Kenai citizen KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION — REGULAR MEETING APRIL 29, 2026 — 7:00 P.M.

B. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 1. *Regular Meeting of March 25, 2026. C. SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS - None. D. UNSCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS - None. E. CONSIDERATION OF PLATS - None. F. PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. Resolution PZ2026-04 - Rezone of a Parcel with Multiple Zones to Assign One Zoning District MOTION: Commissioner Earsley MOVED to approve Resolution PZ2026-04. Commissioner Woodard SECONDED the motion. Chair Keaton opened the floor for public comment. There being no one wishing to be heard, the public comment period was closed. Clarification was provided that RV parks require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) regardless of zoning, and the proposed rezoning would only remove the split zoning created by the replat. Clarification was provided regarding the zoning map. While the land use plan identifies potential future commercial use along Beaver Loop and Kenai Spur, the current zoning remains mixed, with general commercial along the highway and residential in the rear lots. The land use plan reflects long-term intentions rather than current zoning designations. Discussion noted the limited nearby residential development and that some adjacent land, particularly near a non -developed road, consist of low-lying areas unlikely to be developed. It was noted that some land in the east may be developable in the future. Casey Gaze, applicant, addressed the Commission; Commissioners had no questions. UNANIMOUS CONSENT was requested. VOTE: There being no objection; SO ORDERED. MOTION PASSED. Chair Keaton noted the 15-day appeal period. 2. Resolution PZ2026-06 - Conditional Use Permit to Allow a Retail Marijuana Establishment. MOTION: Commissioner Douthit MOVED to approve Resolution PZ2026-06. Commissioner Askin SECONDED the motion. Chair Keaton opened the floor for public comment. There being no one wishing to be heard, the public comment period was closed. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 2 of 5 April 29, 2026 There was discussion regarding the proposed use and applicable regulations. Staff confirmed there are no caps in Kenai Municipal Code on the number of such facilities, noting that if future sensitive uses, such as a school or church, were to locate within 1,000 feet, the existing use would likely become non- conforming but would generally be allowed to continue as established. Commissioners asked about the size of the building and future plans; the applicant stated the space would be used for retail operation only and confirmed there are no plans to expand into a grow facility. Additional tenant spaces may be leased to other businesses. Staff clarified conditions of approval, including the requirement for an annual report to verify active use under the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and that on -site inspections are standard during remodels and coordinated with the building official. It was also noted that other retail tenants may be permitted outright depending on the use. Discussion included site considerations such as distance from the racetrack and separation from areas frequented by children, with staff indicating the location meets code requirements. The applicant clarified that a previously considered food truck and on -site consumption concept had been abandoned due to city regulations. During Commission discussion, members noted concerns expressed by nearby landowners, particularly regarding the potential for a future grow operation. While some concerns were raised about land use restrictions within the 1,000-foot buffer and potential impacts on future development, it was acknowledged that no public testimony was provided at the meeting. There being no one else wishing to be heard, the public comment period was closed. UNANIMOUS CONSENT was requested. VOTE: There being no objection; SO ORDERED. VOTE: YEA: Earsley, Woodard, Askin, Keaton, Douthit NAY: Krause ABSENT: Fikes MOTION PASSED. Chair Keaton noted the 15-day appeal period. 3. Resolution PZ2026-08 - Rezone from Conservation to Suburban Residential Zoning District as Depicted on the Attached Boundary Map MOTION: Commissioner Earsley MOVED to approve Resolution PZ2026-08. Commissioner Woodard SECONDED the motion. Chair Keaton opened the floor for public comment. Lisa Coats, an adjacent property owner, stated she is not opposed to development but opposed to suburban residential zoning; she recommended Rural Residential 1 due to wetlands and wildlife habitat; she expressed concerns about higher -density development, inadequate road infrastructure, and smoke impacts from a nearby fire training facility; and urged zoning that reflects the area's rural character. City Manager Terry Eubank recommended adoption, citing housing availability and affordability challenges and stating the rezoning would reduce development barriers and provide certainty of use; he noted the site is suitable for low- to medium -density housing due to available utilities and proximity to services; he added that suburban residential zoning allows smaller lots and higher density than Rural Residential 1, making development more economical; and requested Commission support. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 3 of 5 April 29, 2026 Clarification was provided regarding residential development and classifications of the land use table. MOTION: Vice Chair Douthit MOVED to enter into adjudicative session. Commissioner Woodard SECONDED the motion. MOTION: Vice Chair Douthit MOVED enter back into regular session. Chair Keaton SECONDED the motion. Commissioner Earsley read findings into the record. These findings were that Rural Residential allows for four dwelling units by right; that the Commission disagrees with staff findings on traffic impacts; that the Commission finds that any development will impact the economic and non -economic value of neighboring properties; and that the development allowed in Rural Residential will be more congruent with the existing neighborhood. MOTION: Vice Chair Douthit MOVED to amend Resolution No. PZ2026-08 from a recommendation of Suburban Residential to Rural Residential. Commissioner Earsley SECONDED the motion. VOTE: YEA: Askin, Douthit, Earsley, Krause, Woodard NAY: Keaton ABSENT: Fikes MOTION PASSED. MOTION: Commissioner Earsley MOVED to approve Resolution No. PZ2026-08, as amended.
