SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2145-2006
The Planning and Zoning Commission held public hearings on January 11 and
January 25, 2006 on the proposed rezone of properties in the Thompson Park
area. The Commission, as the result of a remand by the Board of Adjustment,
initiated the rezone. The staff comments dated December 28, 2005 outline the
history of the proposed rezone.
On January 25, 2006, the Commission passed Resolution PZ06-01
recommending the rezone to Councii. The recommendation amended the
original area by removing properties located south of Shell Drive.
On February 8, 2006, Commissioner Eldridge moved to reconsider the rezone.
Upon reconsideration, the Commission approved the rezone excluding those
properties located south of Shell Drive on the west side of the Kenai Spur
Highway (Sungate Subdivision).

GENERAL INFORMATPON
Applicant: John Hammelman, Chairman
Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission

Kenai, AK 99611
Requested Action: Rezone from Rural Residential and General
Commercial to Limited Commercial
Legal Description: Parcels between Ross Street & North Fern Street as
shown on Attachment A
Street Address: See Attachment B
KPB Parcel No.: See Attachment B
Existing Zoning: Rural Residential & General Commercial

ANALYSIS
General Information:
In June 2005, Jay and William Snow applied to rezone their property Iocated at
5648 Kenai Spur Highway from Rural Residential to General Commercial to
allow them to operate a car sales lot and auto repair business. The Planning &
Zoning Commission held a public hearing on July 27, 2005. The Commission
denied the requested rezone. On August 9, an appeal was filed by Jay Snow.
On September 7, the Board of Adjustment held a hearing on the appeal. The
decision of the Board was issued on October 7, 2005. The Board remanded the
decision to the Commission for consideration of rezoning to Limited Commercial
zone. The Board also asked that the Commission notify and seek input from
nearby property owners.
In October administration prepared information for the Planning & Zoning
Commission to consider in response to the remand from the Board of
Adjustment. An area along the Kenai Spur Nighway was identified for
0601 Com~nent.doc Page2
consideration. The Commission requested staff to contact the owners of
identified properties and seek input into the possible rezoning of their properties.
Notices were sent to 55 property owners along the Kenai Spur Highway from
Ross Road to Fern Street. Input was received from four owners (three emails
and one phone calli. Of those responding, three were in favor of the rezone and
one was against. After receiving this information, the Commission directed
staff to proceed with a public hearing to consider the rezone of these properties.
KMC 14.20.270 describes amendment procedures. Section 2 states,
"Amendments to the Official Zoning Map shall be considered only if the area to
be rezoned contains a minimum of one (1) acre (excluding street or alley rights-
of-way) unless the amendment enlarges an adjacent district boundary." The
proposed rezone area is approximately 58.75 acres.
The area being considered includes parcels currently zoned Rural Residential and
General Commercial. The proposed zone to the Limited Commercial zone would
allow a mixture of residential and commercial uses. There are developed and
vacant lots in this area. Shown on Attachment B is a list of parcels and their
current usage and whether or not the use would be conforming in the Limited
Commercial zone. Based on Kenai Peninsula Borough property data and a visual
review of the area, there may be 11 non-conforming uses created. Of these, 6
are currently non-conforming (three mobile homes a~d three accessory
buildings). The other five parcels that the rezone would create non-conforming
uses are due to size of the structure's footprint exceeding the allowable 3000
square feet (the Fraternal Order of Eagles - building straddles lot line, the
storage facility, the transmission shop/warehouse, and the Wisniewski
residence/funeral home).
Three non-conforming lots would be created by the rezone. A non-conforming
lot would be one that is less than the required 12,500 square feet.
The Limited Commercial zone was "established to provide transition areas
between commercial and residential districts by allowing low to medium volume
business, mixed residential and other compatible uses which complement and
do not materially detract from the uses allowed with adjacent districts." The
increased traffic along the Kenai Spur Highway has limited residential
development along the highway. The Board of Adjustment noted, "The Board is
forced to recognize that restricting use of the property to solely residential
purposes may sirnply result in vacant and run down homes along the highway."
The Board commented that this area might be appropriate for limited commercial
use while protecting neighborhoods and, "The Limited Commercial Zone was
specifically designed for this type of zoning probiem, allowing limited
commercial development while protecting adjoining residential neighborhoods."
The City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan addresses concerns of commercial
0601 CommenC.doc Page 3
development in residential areas, "Another issue of neighborhood concern is
! commercial development near residential areas as conditional uses or through
rezones, particularly along the Kenai Spur Highway. One of the goals of zoning
is to achieve stable, livable residential neighborhoods by separating them from
incompatible uses. This is best achieved by zoning sufficient suitably located
land for all expected uses, then adhering to the zoning plan." Under
Commercial Land Use Development Policies, the plan speaks to promoting
adaptive reuse of vacant commercial building in the city center and along the
Kenai Spur Highway. "Prepare criteria and standards under which compatible
mixed uses are allowed to ensure that the uses are compatible with surrounding
uses.° (Page 371
When the Comprehensive Plan was written, the City did not have a mixed-use
zone. Since then, the Limited Commercial zone has been developed to allow
mixed uses of residential and commercial. The zone has strict development
criteria that Iimit the size of structures as well as landscaping with separation
betwee~ uses.
Citv Enqineer:
Kenai Spur Highway access could become and issue with the high density of
small lots. Most commercial uses that could generate high traffic volume
require conditional use and access should be reviewed during the conditional
use process.
Building Official:
No building code issues.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Board of Adjustment remanded the appeal of a rezone to the Planning and
Zoning Commission to consider rezoning an area along the Kenai Spur Highway
from the Rural Residential and General Commercial zones to the ~imited
Commerciai zone. The area lies between North Fern Street and Ross Street.
The area is developed with a mix of residentiai and commercial uses.
The City of Kenai has identified the area along the Kenai Spur Highway as
hindered from future development due to traffic along the highway and the
residential zoning limitation. There is Iimited land currently zoned commercial
along the highway and the current vacant residential land does not allow for
commercial development. The Comprehensive Plan noted that uses should not
be allowed through the conditionai use process the has been used to allow
some development along the highway and recommended zoning suitable for all
land uses and to prepare criteria and standards under which compatible mixed
uses are allowed to ensure that the uses are compatible with surrounding uses.
0601. Coimnent.doc
Page 4
The proposed rezone from Rural Residential and General Commercial to Limited
Commercial will provide for development along the Kenai Spur Highway while
not restricting residential use. Based on the application and review of Kenai
Municipai Code and Comprehensive Plan, the requested rezone meets the
criteria for an amendment to the zoning map.
Recommend approval.

PZ06-01
Limited Commercial Rezone
Exhibit A
ITEM 5: PUBLIC HEARINGS
5-a. PZ06-O1 - An application to rezone parcels located between Ross
Street & North Fern Street as shown on Attachment A(on file)
from Rural Residential and General Commercial to Limited
Commercial. Application submitted by John Hammelman, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission, City of Kenai, 210 Fidalgo
Avenue, Kenai, Alaska.
Kebschull reviewed the staff report included in the packet which provided a
history of the rezone attempt in the area. The following items were also noted:
• The area being considered includes parcels currently zoned Rural
Residential and General Commercial.
• The proposed zone of Limited Commercial would allow a mixture
of residential and commercial uses.
• The Limited Commercial Zone was established to provide
transition areas between commercial and residential districts by allowing low to
medium volume business and had strict development criteria to limit the size of
structures as well as landscaping with separation between uses.
• The City Engineer indicated Kenai Spur Highway access could
become an issue with high density of small lots, however most commercial uses
that could generate high traffic volume require condition use and access should
be reviewed during the eonditional use process.
• Staff recommended approval of the rezone.
Chairman Amen opened the public hearing at 7:25 p.m.
MOTION:
Commissioner MOVED to approve PZ06-03 and Commissioner Bryson
SECONDED the motion.
Merry Zumwalt, 640 Tern Place, Kenai, Alaska - Ms. Zumwalt noted she is
not directly affected by the proposal, she could not find any definition of Limited
Commercial zone in the City's website and, she was hesitant until she learned
what the zone would entail.
Kebschull explained where to find the definition on the City's website, read it
into the record, and stated the closest example she could give of a Limited
Commercial Zone would be the area in Soidotna near the hospital where the
previous residential homes were being renovated to become doctor's offices, etc.
Joseph Frank, 450 Phillips, Kenai, Alaska -- Mr. Frank noted the following:
• He has lived at his address for 27+ years and raised three children
there.
• He enjoys his beautiful neighborhood and did not want that
disturbed by looking at a business in his backyard.
• Expressed concern with wetland drainage and stated he felt the
lots in the area too small to accommodate a business.

• Traffic safety is an issue too because there had already been many
accidents, near-misses and fatalities.
• Requested the Commission to coi~sider the statements and asked
if the rezone was approved, would the construction company proposed by the
Snow's be allowed.
Kebschull explained the type of business proposed by the Snow's would not be
aliowed under the Limited Commercial Zone.
Charles Phillips, 310 Phillips Drive, Kenai, Alaska -- Mr. Phillips stated there
was some controversy in the staff report and asked if the property the Snow's
wanted to rezone was already zoned Rural Residential and General Commercial.
Kebschull stated the lot was zoned Rural Residential. Mr. Phillips indicated he
was not for the rezone and did not think it a good idea.
Thomas Rhyner, 505 Robin Drive, Kenai, Alaska - Mr. Rhyner noted the
following:
• His lot would be affected by the rezone (he purchased his home in
1982 and since then there had been three or four other homes built on the cul-
de-sac).
• He sent the City an email basically stating the bike path was
recently completed to provide a safe means of bike, foot and other non-
motorized travel and to allow business traffic across the path from a 55 mph
highway would be courting disaster.
• Expressed concern with where the City's water and sewer service
ended and noted his lot did not have that service.
• Some newly established commercial businesses may have high
water volume use or could deal with gas products which can pollute the ground
water.
• Motorized off-road vehicles may end up using the bike trail if
businesses are allowed to build on the narth side of the Spur Highway.
• He did not support the idea and felt it a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Shialey Johnson, Kenai, Alaska -- Mrs. Johnson stated her residence as Fern
Street and had already sent the City a letter regarding the rezone. Johnson
asked if someone built on the lot in front of hers, would the City maintain her
road; if so, then it would cost the City a lot of money. Johnson stated her
strong opposition to the rezone.
Jim Montgomery, 535 Wortham Avenue, Kenai, Alaska -- Mr. Montgomery
noted the following:
• His property is situated just off of Ross Street and back in behind
the area affected by the rezone.
• He believes the rezone a bad idea with the current road and noted
that during the fall construction, traffic was backed up quite a distance and it
is difficult to get out on the Spur Highway right now.

. Expressed concern with the fact there is no water or sewer in the
area and fears disposal issues from businesses as well as concern related to
contarnination of water wells from businesses that may go in there.
• He is definitely against the rezone.
April Falk, 561 Wortham Avenue, Kenai, Alaska -- Ms. Falk noted the
following:
• Her property abuts the large parcel from Ross on the opposite side
of Thompson Park.
She has been at her property since 2003 and the rezone did not
matter to her.
. She feels the area is changing anyway and other businesses may
stop the illegal snow machine and four-wheeler traffic.
She is open to the rezone and feels the City of Kenai could use
new businesses.
Suggested the type of allowable businesses be clearly outlined to
alleviate any concerns other neighbors may have.
Don Pearce, 155 Richfield Drive, Kenai, Alaska -- Mr. Pearce stated the
comment made earlier about the zoning was contradictive as it would not allow
commercial lots, car dealerships or repair facilities, however a transmission
shop is currently in the area. Pearce asked if that business would be allowed to
continue and Kebschull explained the Land Use Table and noted it lists the
permitted uses in the zones within the City of Kenai, the transmission shop is a
nonconforming use, meaning it may continue, and, if the Snow transmission
business leaves the property, a new transmission business could not go in.
Pearce stated he would not have an issue if the businesses would not create
excess traffic, however expressed concern with the traffic on the highway and
stated he would not want to see traSfic lights go in.
Commissioner Bryson clarified that if a business is non-conforming and they
discontinued operation their approval would lapse. However, if the business
would be sold to another individual then, the use would continue as a non-
conforming use.
Joseph Frank, Kenai, Alaska -- Frank asked why the City wanted to go
through the entire stretch of the Spur Highway rather than just where the non-
compliance commercial buildings exist. Frank noted, only residential homes
e~sted from the One Stop on.
Alan Bryant, 4380 Eagle Rock Road, Kenai, Alaska -- Mr. Bryant stated all
the lots in his area as residential except for the one straight across from Eagle
Rock. Bryant asked why the area was suddenly deemed a commercial area
when it was already residential by nature. Bryant also asked what affect the
rezone would have on t~ revenue on his lot. Kebschull replied, in the past
when the Borough's Assessment Office was asked this question they could not
respond. However, some oL those lots zoned General Commercial are viewed as
residential lots.

Tom Rhyner, Kenai, Alaska -- Mr. Rhyner noted the area knocvn as Sungate
Park Subdivision has covenants and if the rezone is approved, would that mean
the City would negate the covenants having to do cvith residential housing.
Kebschull explained, the City does not enforce or recognize covenants. Rhyner
asked if they would have to hire a lawyer and sue the City and Kebschull
replied, covenants are specifically for owners in the subdivision and the City
does not enforce them. Ryhner asked why the City would rezone something
that would go against their covenants. Kebschull replied, the covenants are not
recognized.
Chairman Amen closed the public hearing at 7:55 p.m.
Eldridge noted the following:
• The reason for the Limited Commercial Zone was to put a buffer
between a commercial development and a residential development and still
allow residential use of those properties.
• One concern was the potential development of strip malls along
the Spur Highway and the new zone would limit the size of a structure and
require a buffer between residential neighbors.
• The new zone would assure the Spur Highway to be more
attractive.
• DOT has plai~s to make the highway four lanes between Sport
Lake Road and Swires Road within the next two years.
Bryson noted, frontage lots and those along Fireweed by Thompson Park are
zoned Commercial and because only four Commission mernbers were present,
one vote would defeat the issue.
Amen asked staff about the road maintenance and snow removal issue raised
by a resident and Kebschull explained, the City will not be responsible and
anyone purchasing a lot wouid be responsible for road maintenance. Bryson
asked if that answer was specific to Shirley Johnson's question and if the road
was private or in a right-of-way. Kebschull replied, the answer was in response
to Mrs. Johnson's question and the road is on a dedicated right-of-way.
Eldridge suggested the lots off Eagie Rock Drive, Sandpiper Lane and Robin
Drive where there are specific residential areas, should perhaps remain
residential and not be rezoned.
Amen expressed desire for postponing the issue when a full Commission would
be present and explained the reason to the public.
MOTION:
Commissioner Bryson MOVED to postpone PZ06-O1 and Commissioner'I~vait
SECONDED the motion.
