According to SCC 15.10.320.D., the Commission shall establish a finding that the use satisfies the following conditions prior to granting a conditional use permit: A. The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter (the Seward Zoning Code) and the purposes of the zoning district. Finding: This condition has been met or shall be by required conditions. The property is zoned Industrial (I). The Industrial Zoning District provides an area for business, manufacturing, processing, fabricating, repair, assembly, storage, wholesaling and distributing operations, which may create some nuisance and which are not properly associated nor compatible with residential land uses. It is intended to provide environmental safeguards for people employed in or visiting the district. Some visual amenity is expected in this district to make it compatible with adjoining residential or business districts, SCC 15.05.025. (b) (10). Residential housing in an industrial zone is not permitted outright due to environmental hazards and other nuisances. However, housing in an industrial zone within a bunkhouse or employee campground is allowed by Conditional Use Permit. B. The value of adjoining property will not be significantly impaired Finding: This condition has been met or shall be by required conditions. The area to the west and north is the SMIC tidelands and vacant harbor uplands. The area to the east contains a privately owned parcel housing a communications repair facility, a leased parcel containing a boat repair business and the City boat storage yard. To the south is the Polar Seafoods receiving and processing plant and further to the south is the City owned syncro-lift. The use of the proposed temporary structures to serve as employee living quarters would have the visual appearance of an employee campground. There is no indication the development will negatively impact the value of any adjoining properties. C. The proposed use is in harmony with the Seward Comprehensive Plan. Finding: This condition has been met. The proposal is in harmony with the Seward 2020 Comprehensive Plan (2005) and Strategic Plan (1999) in that both plans encourage growth of year-round business and both support the need for housing at all economic levels. Seward 2020 Comprehensive Plan (2005) The Comprehensive Plan promotes commercial development within the City of Seward in accordance with community values. Section 3.3.1.1 supports a range of housing choices that meet the needs of people in various income and age groups (page 22). Strategic Plan (1999) Promote Residential and Commercial Development Inside the City. (First Bullet) Encourage construction of residential and seasonal housing at all market levels (page 9). 17 Seward Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution No. 2015-10 Page 3 of 5 D. Public Services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use. Finding: This condition has been met or shall be by required conditions. Water, sewer, telephone and electrical service are available within the area. Garbage • dumpsters are available onsite. Dinning and sanitary facility shall be provided within the required 500 feet at the Polar Seafood facility. The applicant intends to increase the current shower/sanitary facilities and work with the building department to assure compliance with the building and fire code. E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare. Finding: This condition has been met or shall be by required conditions. There is an identified need for seasonal housing in Seward, particularly for low income employees. The temporary structures to serve as employee living quarters will require a temporary building permit. Temporary structures are allowed for a maximum of 180 days. Adequate fire hydrants exist within the required distances to the employee campground. And adequate police and life safety service are available. The area is prone to a fair amount of wildlife activity, including bears and moose. Lighting, continued activity in the area, no food allowed in the campgrounds, proper dumpster and trash collection as well as education of the plant employees will help mitigate any encounters. The Zoning Code does not have a specification for parking for employee campgrounds. This degree of flexibility allows for site-specific projections, based on the historical use patterns of the applicant. A ratio of one parking space to ten (1 to 10) employees at maximum capacity has been sufficient, based on current and historic usage. Providing adequate parking for the employees will mitigate parking concerns in the area. The facility currently provides parking for the maximum employee projection of 50 employees; the same 32 employees will be utilizing the employee campground. F. Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the commission to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions shall 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. 1. The membrane structures to be used as temporary structures shall be permitted annually, meet the building code requirements as adopted by the City of Seward. 2. The employee campground shall be allowed for the requested five (5) seasons. (2015 —2019). 3. The temporary structures shall be removed at the end of the 180 day Temporary Permit period. 18 Seward Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution No. 2015-10 Page 4 of 5 4.

To include the 150 day occupancy period, leaving a 30 day set-up and tear down window for the temporary structures as allowed by the Building Code at 180 days. 5. The required parking shall be provided at a rate of one (1) space per ten (10) employees at maximum capacity. Current maximum capacity is 50 employees. (10 spaces required) 6. Animal / Bird resistant dumpsters / containers shall be provided for all garbage and refuse for the life of the use. These containers shall be kept closed and emptied on regular bases to minimize the possible wildlife encounters. 7. To minimize life safety and security concerns, Polar Seafoods shall provide education for the employees regarding the SMIC area to include the private property and areas that are open for public access; and provide education on wild life safety to include allowing no food in the campground area. 8. The applicant shall continue to work with staff through the building permit process to address and accomplish any required upgrades to the public utilities if needed. 9. Per Seward City Code §15.10.325.F. an approved CUP shall lapse six months from the date of approval if the use for which the permit was issued has not been implemented or a building permit obtained. The Commission may grant a six month extension upon fmding that circumstances have not changed sufficiently since the date of initial permit approval. 10. Modification of fmal approval of a conditional use permit may, upon application by the permitee,be modified by the Planning and Zoning Commission: A When changed conditions cause the conditional use to no longer conform to the standards for its approval. B. To implement a different development plan conforming to the standards for its approval. C. The modification plan shall be subject to a public hearing and a filing fee set by City Council Resolution. Section 2. The Planning and Zoning Commission finds that the proposed use, subject to the above conditions satisfies the criteria for granting a conditional use permit provided the conditions listed on Section 1, Subsection F are met by the applicant and/or the agent, and authorizes the administration to issue a conditional use permit to the Polar Seafoods to allow temporary structures to serve as employee living quarters within the defined employee campground area of Lot 2A, Block 9, within the Seward Marine Industrial Center, subject to the above conditions. 19 Seward Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution No. 2015-10 Page 5 of 5 Section 3. The Planning and Zoning Commission finds that adherence to the conditions of this permit is paramount in maintaining the intent of Seward City Code Section 15.10.320, Conditional Use Permits, and authorizes the administration to issue a conditional use permit.

According to the Seward City Code, Land Uses Allowed Table 15.10.225, employee campgrounds are allowed in the Industrial Zoning District by CUP. This parcel is owned by the City and leased to Polar Seafoods. The proposed campground is to be located on the northeast area of Lot 2A, Block 9, Polar Seafoods Replat. This parcel is approximately 2 acres in size. The processing plant is located on the dock area at the southwest end of the parcel. The area to be used as employee campgrounds is approximately 75 x 100 feet, 7,500 square feet. Polar Seafoods has applied for an employee campground CUP to provide temporary employee seasonal housing where none currently exists. The applicant has stated they intend to use the temporary housing campgrounds for a period of three (3) to five (5) years. The temporary housing units are membrane structures and will require an annual permit and inspection from the Building and Fire Departments. The structures will house four (4) employees each with a maximum of 8 units. The structures will be removed from the parcel each year at the end of the 180 day permit period. Concerns for security at the Seward Marine Industrial Center(SMIC) and life safety from wild life shall be addressed through education of the employees by Polar Seafoods. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: The parcel is within the Industrial Zoning District. The area to the west and north is the SMIC tidelands and vacant harbor uplands.

The facility currently provides parking for the maximum employee projection of 50 employees; the same 32 employees will be utilizing the employee campground.

The Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the request by City Council to dispose of approximately 1.7 acres of the south section of Lot 11A, Fort Raymond Subdivision, Replat Number 1, for development of a senior housing facility with conditions and declared the following Findings: A. The use as a non-income based senior housing facility is consistent with the purpose of this chapter(the Seward Zoning Code)and the purposes of the zoning district. Finding: This condition can be met: Lot 11A, Fort Raymond is currently zoned Park. The zoning could be amended by City Council Ordinance to allow the senior housing facility (multi-family residential) by Conditional Use Permit (CUP) within the following zoning districts: Multi-Family (R3); Urban Residential (UR); Office Residential (OR); or Auto Commercial (AC). This 32 Seward Planning and Zoning Resolution 2015-11 Page 2 of 3 rezone would be allowed by Seward City Code §15.01.035. Amendments.

Following the public hearing, the Council amended the original resolution, downsizing the area and amount of land to the northwest area of Pat Williams Park consisting of approximately .7 acre. The Council also requested the Planning and Zoning Commission hold a public hearing on April 7, 2015 to provide additional public comment time and provide a recommendation to Council on Resolution 2015-020, as amended. Following the public hearing on April 7, 2015 the Commission voted to fail Resolution 2015-08, thereby recommending the council fail Resolution 2015-020. The Commission's recommendation was moved forward to Council on April 13, 2015 where the Council failed Resolution 2015-020 and recommended an alternate piece of property owned by the City. The Council directed the Planning and Zoning Commission to hold a public hearing and provide recommendation on the disposal of the southern portion of Lot 11A, Fort Raymond, Replat Number 1, approximately 1.7 acres. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING: Lot 11A, Fort Raymond Subdivision is located between the Seward Highway and Dimond Boulevard, north of Sea Lion and south of Hemlock Avenues. The large, 4.77 acre lot was originally deeded to the City through the municipal entitlement program. The original deed restriction of"public recreation" has been removed. It is currently developed as a day use park with tennis courts, TB sanitarium monument, restrooms and playground equipment. A fenced sewer pump station is located on the north end of the parcel. The climbing pole used by the electric department for annual "pole top rescue training" is located near the south end of the parcel. The parcel is zoned Park. The area being considered for disposal is located on the south end of the parcel, approximately 370 feet from the south lot line, containing approximately 1.7 acres. The adjoining properties to the north include the remainder of Lot 11A, currently used as the Forest Acres Park and further out a mix of single family homes and undeveloped vacant land. To the west is the large City owned parcel, zoned Institutional, leased to the US Army for a resort and nightly lodging. Areas to the southwest and south include the City owned parcel previously leased to the US Air Force as a resort and campgrounds and a vacant parcel abutting the Seward Highway, both are zoned Institutional. The parcel to the east is vacant and currently used for campgrounds, also zoned Institutional. 35 Utilities: Public water, sewer and electric are located within the adjacent Dimond Boulevard Right-of- Way. Floodplain status: According to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map, September 27, 2013, this property is located outside of any special flood hazard areas. SEWARD CITY CODE (SCC) REVIEW Because donating land constitutes a less than fair market value transaction, this action requires that Council find the transaction to be in the public's interest as a condition of authorizing the transfer as outlined in SCC§7.05.120 "The city council may acquire or dispose of an interest in real property by negotiation, public auction, or sealed bid." And SCC§7.05.150, "(a) The city shall not sell any real property interest without first making an appraisal of the fair market value of that interest, unless the city council finds that the public interest will not be served by an appraisal. And; (b) If an appraisal is made, the property interest shall not be disposed of for less than the appraised fair market value, unless the city council finds by resolution that public interest will be served by disposing of the property interest for less than the appraised fair market value. " Passage of this authorization confirms this finding by council.

April 30, 2015 Dear P&Z Commissioners, The 2015 Muni Plan does permit sale of the Fort Raymond Park property with a sound business plan. I believe DONATING the 1.7 acres of valuable city land should also require a sound business plan. The Rasmuson Foundation offers a five-step predevelopment program to municipalities and non- profit organizations to help plan successful capital projects: http://www.rasmuson.org/index.php?switch=viewpage&pageid=141 Many Alaska nonprofits undertake capital projects, whether it's purchasing, constructing, or renovating a facility. Effective planning in the first phase will dictate the long-term success of the project. "Pre-development is the phase of a construction project between the idea that a facility is needed, through to the initiation of design. Inadequate planning during this phase can result in projects that are not sustainable in the long term. The Program follows five steps: (1) organize the project work plan, (2) determine the need for capital project, (3) explore alternatives, (4)define the project's scope/design, and (5) decide whether to proceed. Organizations have access to program specialists, architects, engineers, and other specialists as necessary to successfully complete the pre-development phase of their project. As noted on their website, <http://www.forakergroup.org/index.cfm?section=Shared- Services&page=Pre-Development>the Pre-development purpose is planning Sustainable Capital Projects, which are projects that contribute to the long-term viability of the organization and the community it serves. Successful projects occur when planning begins early and considers community needs, potential collaboration, organizational capacity, and sustainability. Non-income based senior housing would be a perfect candidate for this program. The process would be thoughtful, well-organized, involve public participation, assess the community needs, provide expert help from trained specialists, and provide funding partners. I urge the Planning and Zoning Commission to recommend to Council that the applicant to use this program to develop a non-income based senior housing project. It is a phenomenal opportunity to do it right. Thank you for your consideration, Carol Griswold 44 April 30, 2015 Dear P&Z Commissioners, It is deja vue all over again. On July 13, 2005, the City Council approved Resolution 2005-65 selecting 5 acres of the southern portion of both lots 11A and 12A of the Fort Raymond Subdivision #1 for the LTCF. On January 6, 2006, Council approved Resolution 2006-04 which approves the final site layout. On March 7, 2006, P&Z approved replatting and rezoning of the southern 5.85 acres of the Ft Raymond Subdivisions #1. On March 28, 2006, City Council held an executive session to discuss site relocation based on poor geotechnical evaluations/floodplain concerns. On June 12, 2006, City Council rejected the Fort Raymond site, lots 11A and 12A, for the long term care facility summarized here: "Whereas, in early 2003 the city began considering potential sites for the LTCF... on July 13, 2005, the City Council approved Resolution 2005-65 authorizing the use of Lots 11A and 12A of the Fort Raymond Subdivision #1 as the site for the new LTCF; and a detailed site analysis was conducted including two extensive geotechnical analyses, wetland studies, a phase 1 environmental assessment, and a flood hazard analysis... the extensive geotechnical analysis determined that the soils at the Fort Raymond . site are prone to liquefaction in a seismic event to depths of 80'... after a preliminary foundation design for this project was completed, it was determined the seismic mitigation costs would be $1.5 million to make the current site buildable..." The unstable soils have not changed in 9 years and the seismic mitigation costs will likely be even higher than $1.5 million. 45 Who will pay for the repeat of the extensive geotechnical analyses, wetland studies, phase 1 environmental assessment and flood hazard analysis? Why should the City leap into this site selection, knowing it was rejected previously? Why should the citizens of Seward and the City staff spend any more time, effort, and expense on this ill-fated site? I urge the city to stop trying to accommodate the emergency timeline of this poorly conceived senior housing project. Slow down, stop, and think. There is plenty of time to do it right through the predevelopment process. Thank you, Carol Griswold 46 City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes April 7, 2015 Volume 7, Page 125 Call to Order The April 7, 2015 Regular Meeting of the Seward Planning & Zoning Commission was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chair Cindy Ecklund.

Notice of public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. Sandie Roach', inside City limits, said she only recently learned of the proposed street name change. Roach' said she did not think the Crabapple Street name was in keeping with the street 49 City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes April 7, 2015 Volume 7, Page 128 theme of the Forest Acres neighborhood.

Additional comments received prior to the meeting were provided to the Co ,' s a laydown. Notice of public heat4ng being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. Kelly Hartz, inside City limits, said her home was near Pat Williams Park. Hartz was not opposed to senior housing, but opposed the use of Pat Williams Park. Hartz pointed out the Municipal Lands Management Plan indicated Waterfront Park should remain park land. Signatures supporting the park had been collected and more would be gathered, Hartz said. The park area was at risk for tsunami inundation and not suitable for senior housing, she said. Hartz also pointed out 50 City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes April 7, 2015 Volume 7, Page 129 the park generated camping fee revenue. The City owns many parcels and another location could be considered, Hartz said. Andy Wilder, inside City, said he opposed the use of Pat Williams Park for housing. Park land benefits the entire community, while senior housing would benefit only a few, Wilder said. A loss of green space and new traffic patterns would reduce nearby property values, Wilder said. City long term plans do not support the use of park areas for housing developments. The development proposal seemed rushed and funding appeared questionable, he said. Kathleen Barkley, inside City, said she was asked to sign petitions related to the land issue. Barkley said some of the information she received was not accurate. Barkley said the campground area generates revenue during a few months of the year, while seniors are in town throughout the year. She pointed out that much of town is in a tsunami .,undation zone. Barkley said citizens needed to give the senior housing issue more thought . j/y *solution. Candy Norman, outside City, said she was part o , ;< Sup wo`.,ng to provide nab income based senior housing in Seward so that older residents did ;lave "/,,.ve to other Kenai Peninsula ;, ;/f communities.

Vii-,5--, '''', /, Commissi��nderson regi ed a copy of the written statement for the record. /!ii, y Andrew Bacon, , t City, /d Seward needed housing across all demographic groups. He said the proposed locati 1 for housing at Pat Williams Park would result in conflicts between residents and campers` to noise, traffic and other issues. Bacon suggested that a larger parcel be used to include more senior housing units. John French, inside City, said he believed the proposed non income based housing would have no rental subsidy, but also no rental rate cap. He said the proposed development might not be affordable for the majority of Seward seniors. French said he opposed the City donation of any portion of Pat Williams Park. The park land became available because of natural disaster, he said. The Seward shoreline could be impacted by storm surges in the future, further reducing the amount of land that could be enjoyed as park, French said. 51 City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes April 7,2015 Volume 7,Page 130 Mike Brittain, inside City, said the proposed donation of City land was a giveaway that he opposed. Brittain said he was in favor of senior housing, but against using a portion of Pat Williams Park. Mark Kansteiner, inside City, thanked Commissioners for their work. Kansteiner said the City's Municipal Lands Management Plan called for retaining Waterfront Park. The park generated revenue that would surpass the dollars raised from the limited tax on paid rent by senior residents, he said. Kansteiner read a passage written by Pat Williams, describing the attributes of the park. Regardless of who the park was named for, public park land should r ark, Kansteiner said. City-owned parcels on First Avenue should be considered for development, e said. Other private and public land owners, including the Kenai Peninsula Borough, could be approached for land donations. Kansteiner said that if a portion of park land was give . ; •ditional ports of park could be used for development. Pat Williams Park is a high one not suitable for devtpment, he said. Kansteiner said the Kenai Peninsula Housing Ini ade r rence to a geotechnical analysis for the proposed development site, but he was not a 6,4f sis being made available. It was not in the public interest to house seniors in a tsunami , he said Patty Linville, inside City, said that pub •'ects do not g • kly. She was involved in the Community Library Project, and said a ' y - , •pment proc s required.

Linville said she enjoyed the park ancf! alued it and asked the Commission to fail the resolution of support. A' Bob Linvi �,, �'' � ity, said he supported senior housing and appreciated the work that volunte / ad done ). proposed development. He said putting the housing within the park woul s, a erate too mu •osition — the community could expend that energy looking for a bett`r to ;; . . Linville sai• would be willing to volunteer to help with the effort. Tim Pichotta, 'de City, a finding a location that would accommodate more than five residential units"' ,•,,d be a tter idea. He was opposed to more traffic that could be generated. Pichotta said nearby% •-% may be too noisy for senior residents. Sue Maurice, outside City, supported senior housing and said the community needed to fmd a solution. There were numerous vacant lots in town that might be suitable for a senior housing development, she said. Nan Thompson, inside City, said there was no dispute that senior housing is needed in the community. The portion of the park that would be dedicated to the project was underutilized. Alternatives should be downtown and within walking distance, she said. 52 City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes April 7, 2015 Volume 7, Page 131 Wadeen Hepworth, inside City, said the proposal to give away a portion of Pat Williams Park was dividing the town's residents. There was no need to rush the project, she said. Hepworth questioned a development strategy of having to make a quick decision in order to gain access to potential funding. She suggested looking for additional locations for senior housing. Matthew Hall, outside City, said the community needs housing for the working poor as well as the elderly. He thanked the volunteers who had worked on the senior housing issue and said it was important for community residents to provide their comments and ideas. Linda Lasota, outside City, said senior housing was needed and the working poor need housing as well. She objected to giving away City property for five housing units, she said. Lasota suggested the residents of the community unite to find a better location. Ron Wille, outside City, said he had served on local bo. .1 proposals had been presented with urgency, often due to funding. The land selection pry s for the envisioned senior housing should be more transparent, he said He suggested that • select , process begin again with more community participation. Carol Griswold, inside City, question I e process for lan. ' ' -ction and said she had not seen any geotechnical analysis for the site tha Peninsula Ho. Initiative might have, despite her request. Griswold encouraged the use • -'-„ trictions to •ark land. She asked that the Commission fail the resolution of suppo '/' / // //�•:,y Helen Lindemuth, inside 4 the late Pat dams wou of want the park to be developed. Lindemuth said studi ,`ymdi � outdoor rec ' tion pro otes good health. There are also environmental bene Y keepm ` -es and gree 'ace, she said Lindemuth requested that Pat Williams Park not be us- � dev . ment. Wadeen He , � t was important to ore about the developer. John .ch said the frisiotic Preservation Commission was scheduled to meet on April 8 to disc o ss •roposed park' d donation and welcomed residents to participate and provide comments. % , Candy Norman s e seni ousing group approached various land owners before dealing with the City, and Pat :1 4 k was suggested. Norman said she wanted to reiterate that other land owners were approach out they were unwilling to donate property. Andy Wilder said he wanted to note that the City suggested Pat Williams Park land as an option for development. He wanted to know where the suggestion originated. Diane McRae said the property site at Pat Williams Park was suggested, and the senior housing group moved quickly. McRae said the location was not necessarily the best choice, but discussions with other land owners had not progressed. Senior housing development efforts failed in the past, which prompted quick action, she said. 53 City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes April 7, 2015 Volume 7, Page 132 Mel Woodard, inside City, said he wanted the Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiative to be more forthcoming with details about the proposed senior housing project. The process should be transparent, he said. Katelyn Rullman, inside City, said the community conversation needed to be broadened to solve the apparent problems. There was no need to rush with the current proposal, Rullman said. Diane McRae said the apparent rush was due to questions about securing funding for the project. She also said that previous failures to develop senior housing created a sense of urgency. No one else requested to be heard and the public hearing was closed.
