The Commission held seven(7) public work sessions specifically reviewing and amending Title 15.10.140 Definitions. The Commission has reviewed and discussed the definition section of the Seward City Code(SCC) in depth and found this section to be confusing in the organizational layout. While the Commission has recommended a complete reorganization, very few additions, deletions or changes were recommended. Title 15.10.140 is a lengthy portion of the zoning code containing over 100 definitions. With the reorganization of the Definitions,several categories have been established and the definitions pertaining to those specific categories have been moved into the category. Specific additions, deletions or changes are as follows: (Proposed change is indented, and highlighted. The staff explanation follows at the margin.) Brewpub.An establishment that is primarily an eating place which includes the brewing of beer as an accessory use. A member of the public has expressed interest in developing a"brewpub"within the City. Current City code does not specifically address brewpubs. Through forward thinking the Commission has recommended the addition of the above definition to clarify brewpubs as an accessory use of a restaurant. Housing.Structures providing housing for groups of people,such as students,employees or nursing home residents. With the reorganization of the definition portion of the code, it was determined the SCC did not contain a specific "housing" definition to categorize the examples under; therefore the "housing" category has been proposed. Bunkhouse. A building used as living quarters for people such as cannery workers or construction laborers where shower and sanitary facilities are shared by-sever-al-rooms and in which there are no individual cooking facilities. Page 1 of 2 2 Council and P&Z Work Session Memo January 17, 2012 Members of the public have proposed that new designs in housing and accommodations generally provide for sanitary facilities in each shared room,not a common facility shared by several rooms. Junk Dismantled or wrecked automobiles, aircraft, motor vehicles or machinery, mobile homes, trailers, watercraft, used appliances or furniture, scrap building materials, metals, rubber,paper, plastic or other scrap materials. Because Seward is a port city and much of the community owns some type of watercraft,it has been determined that watercraft should be included within the"Junk"definition. Storage, Container. An accessory storage use consisting of containers such as semi-tractor vans, shipping containers and conex containers originally designed to transport goods and materials via highway, rail, air or sea, which are parked or placed on a parcel of land and used for covered storage provided that all wheel assemblies have been removed;the unit is placed on an approved foundation; the unit is roofed, painted to match the primary building on the property; and the unit is located outside any setbacks. Railroad box cars are excluded except in the Industrial Zone. There are no grandfathered uses. Containers are considered a structure and must comply with applicable building codes. (See accessory use/building, building, and structure.) Temporary structure. A structure without any foundation or footings erected has ceased. as allowed by the adopted Building Code. Through continued discussions and assistance from the Building Department the above changes to the Storage, Container and Temporary Structure definitions have been proposed. The proposed change to the definitions removes current conflict between the City Zoning Code and the City Building Code. Transient merchant. Any person,partnership,firm or corporation,whether a resident of the city or not, who engages in a temporary business, within a period not exceeding ISO LQQ consecutive days in a calendar year, of selling and delivering goods and/or services, wares and merchandise for profit or non-profit within the city by operating on a door-to-door,street corner or similar basis;or from no fixed location or office;or from a location out-of-doors or in quarters that are easily moveable,such as a temporary leased area or space,motor vehicle, trailer or tent. Includes peddlers, solicitors, itinerant merchants and vendors. Does not include vehicles for hire. Over the years the City has received numerous inquiries and complaints regarding transient merchants / temporary businesses within the City. In the review process the Commission has recommended strengthening the requirements and shortening the operation time.

The Commission held six (6) public work sessions specifically reviewing and amending Sections 15.10.225 Land Uses Allowed and 15.10.225 Land Uses Allowed Table and one (1) work session specifically addressed the Development Requirements Table 15.10.220. The Commission has reviewed and discussed the Land Uses Allowed and the Land Uses Allowed Table sections of the Seward City Code(SCC) in depth. Members of the public were present and expressed comments and concerns during several of the work sessions. The Commission addressed and accommodated all public concerns and input through the proposed changes. While no public requests were submitted for the Development Requirements Table,the Commission reviewed and recommended an increase in the Maximum Lot Coverage for the Office Residential Zoning District. (As depicted below) Zoning Districts Principally Residential Principally Commercial Principally Public RR R1 R2 R3 UR OR AC HC CB I RM INS P Maximum Lot 30 35 35 40 40 45 50 100* 100* 100* 30 50 10 • Coverage (%) 40 • The Commission has recommended several minor changes and updates to SCC§15.10.225 Land Uses Allowed. Specific additions, deletions or changes are as follows: (Proposed changes are indented and highlighted. The staff explanation follows at the margin.) Page 1 of 3 Z1 (StFilethreuglis=deletions and are bold; Underline=additions and are bold Italic) (b)Lodging as defined in section 15.10.140(b)is allowed in accordance with table 15.10.225 of this chapter and subject to the following conditions: (1)Regardless of the date such use began,an annual administrative permit is required.Prior to issuing the permit,the city shall conduct an annual life safety inspection of each guest room to assure compliance with the current Uniform adopted Building Code • door/window egress standards, the presence of an operable and inspected fire extinguisher and adequate smoke detection systems,a posted evacuation plan,and visible signs showing exit locations. The State of Alaska adopts a revised Building Code approximately every three(3)years. Once the State has adopted the code the City then follows by local adoption. At the time the current Zoning Code was adopted the building code title in place was the Uniform Building Code. Since then the title of the building code has changed to the International Building Code. To eliminate current and future title changes it has been recommended to remove the specific title and use the verbiage of "adopted"Building Code. (c)Transient merchants as defined in section 15.10.140(b)of this chapter and which are allowed in accordance with table 15.10.225 are subject to the following development requirements: (1) For purposes of this chapter, such use and storage of equipment shall be limited to a period not exceeding 130100 consecutive days in a calendar year. (2) Transient merchant facilities shall be and remain legally licensed and road ready and shall be removed completely from the property at the end of 100 days. (3) Transient merchants shall provide for the concealed storage of all inventory, supplies, equipment and other materials brought to the site in connection with the business conducted there. (4) Transient merchants using vehicles and trailers in the operation of transient business activities authorized by this chapter shall ensure that the area of operation meets the required setbacks as provided by section 15.10.220. In no case shall the allowed area of operation be less than five feet from any property line, permanent structure or other transient merchant. (5)Prior to operation,vehicles and trailers utilized for transient merchant purposes shall have blocked tires and be fully skirted to match the vehicle or trailer. (6)Any additions, including but not limited to porches,platforms and decks, shall be sided or painted to match or compliment the temporastrueture vehicle or trailer prior to operation. (7)Every transient merchant shall provide sufficient trash receptacles on-site and ensure the proper disposal of all garbage collected on the site. (8)The use of generators is prohibited. (9)No transient merchant shall conduct business on property owned or operated by the city except in accordance with chapter 8.10 of this Code. Page 2 of 3 2 Z Council and P&Z Work Session Memo January 17, 2012 (10) Transient merchants shall conform to all federal, state and local laws. The City has received many comments and complaints regarding the conditions and visual clutter of the Transient Merchants facilities,especially during the non-use months of the year. The intent of a transient merchant is that the facilities needed are mobile and in place for a very short time. The proposed changes to the transient merchant requirements are to insure that the Transient Merchant remains transient and the vehicle(s)used for the business are removed at the end of the season or the 100 day period. ' (e) Livestock as defined in section 15.10.140(B). Are allowed in accordance with Table 15.10.225 of this chapter subject to the following: (1)Lot size may not be less than 20,000 square feet per large animal,or not less than 20,000 square feet for every two (2)small animals (excluding chickens & rabbits); (2) Livestock fencing shall be no closer than five feet from a property line; (3)A city approved drainage plan showing that runoff from the livestock corral or pen will not adversely impact neighboring property or stream; (4)A city approved manure storage and disposal plan. The manure storage pile shall not be closer than 25 feet from any property line. (5) Up to five chickens(hens)or rabbits are allowed in accordance with Table 15.10.225. (6) Chicken or rabbit coops and enclosures are required and must meet a minimum setback of 25 feet from neighboring homes. (7) Chickens or rabbits are not allowed on lots with more than one dwelling unit. The addition of chickens(hens)and rabbits to the Livestock code is in response to requests from the public to allow chickens on the smaller parcels within the residential zoning districts of Seward. The current code does not allow for any livestock animals on lots less than 20,000 square feet. This essentially limits livestock to the Forest Acres area of Seward. Through research and discussion the proposed addition to the SCC would follow what other communities, including Anchorage, have adopted for the keeping and rearing of chickens and rabbits. No other change to the current livestock code has been requested. The current livestock code includes other barnyard fowl. Allowing no more than 5 chickens (hens)or rabbits by permit will meet the requests of the public. Table 15.10.225. - Land Uses Allowed Table The Land Uses Allowed Table has not been review or updated in many years. The Commission held many work sessions and listened to the comments from the public. The proposed changes reflect the many hours of review, discussion by the Commission and members of the public. Note: Staff has not reprinted the Land Uses Allowed table within this document.
