Agenda Item: Recommending Council Approve the attached Ordinance amending the zoning designation of a small portion of City owned land located within Tract G of the Waterfront Park Replat BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: Attached for the Commission's review and recommendation to the Seward City Council is Resolution 2013 -01, recommending City Council approval of Ordinance 2013 -xxx (attached), amending the zoning designation of a small portion of Tract G, Waterfront Park Replat from Harbor Commercial (HC) to Park Zoning District (P). Administration hired Cline and Associates Land Surveyors to prepare a preliminary plat of the City owned lands, establishing the perimeter boundary of the historical area commonly known as Waterfront Park. By Resolution 2011 -037, dated May 23, 2011, Seward City Council recommended the Kenai Peninsula Borough Plat Committee approve the Waterfront Park replat. The Kenai Peninsula Borough approved the Waterfront Park Replat which was recorded as plat 2012 -04 in the Seward Recording District on June 8, 2012. The area known as Waterfront Park contains 106.97 acres having a legal description of Seward Original Townsite, Waterfront Park Replat. Tract G of the Waterfront Park is located at the North boundary, within the established park boundary. The area of Tract G, proposed in this rezone is south of the South Harbor Uplands and east of the Harbor Lights Apartments. The small area of Harbor Commercial Zoning within Tract G is approximately 31,000 square feet, less than three -fourth (%) of an acre. The area has historically been used as a campground for summer visitors' motorhome parking. The surrounding zoning is Park on the East and South and Harbor Commercial to the West and North. Property use to the East is summer camping, parking and Resurrection Bay. To the South is Scheffler Creek better known as the "Fish Ditch" and Waterfront Park. To the West is an undeveloped alley containing a tree buffer and the back of the Harbor Lights Apartments. To the North is the driveway access to the South Harbor Uplands and open parking area. Seward City Code SCC § 15.01.035, Amendments, (b) (3) allows the consideration of this rezone because the land is contiguous to the requested Park Zoning District and is recommended by the Land Use Plan. The Land Use Map, as adopted by the 2020 Comprehensive Plan, designates the area 8 requested for rezone as Park (P) as defined in SCC 15.05.025 (b)( (12) Parks district (P). Is intended to designate park, recreation and commemorative property owned by the city, state or federal governments for recreation and other compatible public purposes. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No N/A 1. Comprehensive Plan (2020) X • 2.0 Community Vision and Values for 2020 Recreation: "We value diverse, year- round, indoor and outdoor recreational opportunities and facilities for residents and visitors of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. (Bullet 4, page 12) Protect open space by ensuring that Waterfront Park is platted, zoned, and dedicated for park purposes in perpetuity. Yes No N/A 2. Strategic Plan (1999) X Recreation and Leisure(page 12) Protect Waterfront Open Space (Bullet 1) Maintain Park Zoning designation throughout Waterfront Par. Staff Comments: Community Development staff has presented the zoning change to all department heads for review and discussion. All departments support the requested zoning changes. Public Comment: Property owners within three hundred (300) feet of the proposed rezone action were notified. Public notice signs were posted on the property, and all other public hearing requirements of Seward City Code §15. 01.040 were complied with. One public comment was received in non - support of the rezone. This comment has been included in your packet. Concern was voiced that the area requested for rezone could be used as a location for a new Harbor Master building or other commercial shops and not to park "the Harbor Fleet." RECOMMENDATION: Commission approve Resolution 2013 -01 recommending City Council approval of the attached Ordinance 2013 -xxx, amending the zoning designation of approximately three -fourth ( %) of an acre of City owned land located within the Waterfront Park boundary, Tract G, Waterfront Park Replat from Harbor Commercial Zoning District (HC) to Park (P) Zoning District. 9 ANEW '' 44 1 "kw, "t > E 3- -2 _ Harbor Commercial °' ow 1` Zoning - Blue 1 LL r f it Park Zoning -Green - .

I'm not sure why this is being done NOW before the new uplands development plan has not been developed or adopted? 1 think this land should be included in the consideration of the Uplands site. As you know one of Seward's greatest weaknesses is the lack of private land available for small business development. Each Year in the budget there is discussion about how something like 68% of the land in the city is not taxable because it is owned by the City, the Fed's or the Alaska Railroad. If we are ever going to be serious about encouraging investment and innovation in Seward we need to address the "Choke Hold" that the City has on the land. I oppose this effort to rezone at this time unless it's part of a larger Harbor Development Plan. This might be a good location for Harbormaster office or shop rather than using high value Harbor Land for parking the Harbor fleet. I also think that the public notice that calls this area a "Small Portion of City Owned Land" is misleading! This is a large portion of the remaining Harbor Commercial Land. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the P &Z meeting but I wanted to bring up these points now rather than later.

I asked them to evaluate Steffan's suggestion re: firewall requirements incorporated in the plans. We will not be commencing initial construction until April, so it will be necessary to obtain the variance extension. Nothing has changed re: our plans. They were just delayed by the flood in September. We have fully paid for the building, and they are holding it for shipping in early spring. Please consider this email our request or the extension.

Of SEt ISSUED TO: Dennis and Pat Perry tv=-41 P.O. Box 1802 Seward, AK 99664 41AS . EFFECTIVE DATE: September 14, 2012 LOCATION: Lot 7, Block 200, Seward Airport; within Industrial Zoning District This Floodplain Variance Permit is granted by the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission to allow and aircraft hanger to be constructed on the above described property up to four (4) feet below the base flood elevation of approximately 20.5 feet. Based on the findings noted in Resolution 2012 -13, the Planning and Zoning Commission hereby grants Dennis and Pat Perry a floodplain variance from Seward City Code § 15.25.050.B.2. to allow the lowest floor of the proposed aircraft hanger to be constructed up to four (4) feet below the base flood elevation of approximately 20.5 feet. Based on the findings noted in Resolution 2012 -13 the Planning and Zoning Commission hereby grants Dennis and Pat Perry a floodplain variance from SCC§ 15.25.050.B2. allowing the aircraft hanger to be constructed without being flood - proofed with watertight walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water. Based on the findings noted in Resolution 2012 -13 the Planning and Zoning Commission finds the proposed use, subject to the following condition satisfies the criteria for granting a floodplain variance, and authorizes the administration to issue a Floodplain Variance Permit to Dennis and Pat Perry subject to the following condition 1. Work with staff to obtain a Floodplain Development Permit. 2. Upon completion of the proposed aircraft Hangar and before a Certificate of Occupancy can be obtained the applicant must submit to the City of Seward a copy of the FEMA required elevation certificate. 3. As requested, work with the FAA Airway Transportation System, Kenai to obtain an underground power line locate prior to construction. 18 In accordance with SCC §15.25.060.B.8, the Community Development Office must give written notice to the applicant that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the base flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation. This variance to construct the structure below the Base Flood Elevation will result in increased flood insurance premiums rates as high as $25.00 per $100.00 of coverage.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission that: Section 1. In accordance with Seward City Code Section 15.25.060(a)(4) the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission has considered all of the following factors: a. The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others; There is no reason to believe that placement of the structure will increase the danger of materials being swept onto other lands. Staff has consulted with Dan Mahalak, Kenai Peninsula Borough Hydrologist for his professional opinion. He has stated the area is a low flow velocity area. Mahalak also noted if the structure were to be built above the Base Flood Elevation the added fill would cause more problems by creating velocity on neighboring properties and/or increase flood levels in the area. b. The danger to life and properly due to flooding or erosion damage. The past three major flood events in 1986, 1995 and 2006 did not present any significant threat to life and/or property in the area of the proposed structure. c. The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood lood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner. The past three major flood events in 1986, 1995 and 2006 did not present any significant threat of flooding to the area. d. The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community. The applicant is a licensed aircraft pilot, the aircraft hangar allows the applicant to protect his investment, there is no public services planned by the applicant. 21 Seward Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution 2012 -13 Page 3 of 5 e. The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable. Not applicable. f. The availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage. The majority of the Seward Airport and surrounding property is located within the floodplain or floodway. Since an aircraft hangar requires a location near an airport, there are no other feasible locations for the proposed structure. g. The compatibility of the proposed use with the existing and anticipated development. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding industrial land uses and existing similar aircraft facilities. h. The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program for that area. The 2020 Comprehensive Plan section 3.8.2 addresses floodplain development by supporting the participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Flooding of streams and rivers has historically occurred in Seward and the outlying areas as most flat lands along the south central Alaskan coast is floodplain. The Resurrection River channels and the airport erosion need continued attention. There is no evidence that this project would in any way increase or hinder the existing flooding issues in the area. i. The safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles. It does not appear the proposed structure will add any safety concerns for standard and/or emergency vehicles during flood events. j. The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of theflood waters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site. The past three major flood events in 1986, 1995 and 2006 did not present any significant threat to life and/or property in the area of the proposed structure. k. The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems, and streets and bridges. No public water, sewer or electric are provided to this lot, no additional costs are expected. Section 2. The Commission makes the following specific findings regarding the Dennis and Pat Perry floodplain variance request: 1. The majority of the Seward Airport and surrounding property is located within the Special Flood Hazard Arpa. Since the applicant's proposed aircraft hangar is dependent upon an airport location, there aro other feasible locations for the structure which are not located within the floodplain. 22 Seward Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution 2012 -13 Page4of5 2. Failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant for the following reason: It is not feasible to elevate the structure at or above the base flood elevation. To do so would not allow the aircraft hangar to be utilized for its intended purpose. 3. Granting the requested variance will not result in damage or hardship for this or any other property. 4. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding industrial land uses and existing similar facilities. 5. The applicant has established good and sufficient cause for this Commission to find pursuant to SCC§ 15.25.060(b)(5) that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public or conflict with existing laws. 6. Because the proposed variance has low damage potential and otherwise conforms to all variance criteria in SCC §15.25.060(a) & (b), the Commission finds this application to be one of those "very limited circumstances" described at SCC §15.25.060(b)(7) for granting this floodplain variance on Lot 7, Block 200, Seward Airport. 7. Considering all of the above findings, the Commission hereby determines that the requested variance to construct the aircraft hangar and supporting utilities on Lot 7, Block 200, Seward Airport, at an elevation of approximately 17 feet which is approximately 4 feet below the base flood elevation, is the minimum necessary to afford relief. Section 3. Based on the above findings, the Planning and Zoning Commission hereby grants Dennis and Pat Perry a floodplain variance from SCC§ 15.25.050.B.2. allowing the lowest floor of the proposed aircraft hangar and supporting utilities to be constructed approximately four (4) feet below the base flood elevation of 20.5 feet. Section 4. Based on the above findings, the Planning and Zoning Commission hereby grants Dennis and Pat Perry a floodplain variance from SCC § 15.25.050B2(a) allowing the aircraft hangar to be constructed without being flood - proofed with watertight walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water. Section 5. Based on the above findings, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds the proposed use, subject to the following condition satisfies the criteria for granting a floodplain variance, and authorizes the administration to issue a Floodplain Variance Permit to Dennis and Pat Perry subject to the following conditions: 1. Work with staff to obtain a Floodplain Development Permit. 23 Seward Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution 2012 -13 Page 5 of 5 2. Upon completion of the proposed aircraft hangar and before a Certificate of Occupancy can be obtained the applicant must submit to the City of Seward a copy of the FEMA . required elevation certificate. 3. As requested, work with the FAA Airway Transportation System, Kenai to obtain an underground power line locate prior to construction. Section 6. In accordance with SCC§ 15.25.060(b)(8) the Community Development Office must give written notice to the applicant that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the base flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation. This variance to construct the structure below the Base Flood Elevation will result in increased flood insurance premium rates as high as $25.00 per $100.00 of coverage. Section 7. This resolution shall take effect ten (10) days following its adoption. PASSED AND APPROVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission this 4 day of September 2012.

Menu of Earthquake Scenarios The culmination of this 2.5+ year effort has resulted in an online digital scenario catalog that enables any number of federal, state, tribal, and local stakeholders to customize outputs and visually depict what is at risk during an earthquake. 41/' The Washington State Earthquake Scenario Catalog uses USGS calculated ground motions as an input to FEMAs Hazards United States - `= (HAZUS) loss estimation modeling software in order to identify the majority of impacts to the built environment from a deterministic . earthquake scenario. To supplement HAZUS outputs, data derived from USGS analysis by Dr. Nathan Wood, such as community exposure, are included into the catalog in order to provide greater resolution for certain demographic and economic metrics that HAZUS does not calculate. Once integrated into an online GIS, such information empowers the end user to depict the information that is - most relevant for them. Shaking Intensity and Probability of School In addition to completing the initial software development, members of Building Damage the WWU team were engaged to conduct focus groups with end users to ensure the finished product met their needs. This includes a four -page fact sheet that accompanies each scenario. As the back -end programming has been completed to readily accommodate HAZUS outputs for this new flexible viewer, it can easily be adapted to other natural hazards for use by any number of stakeholders or user communities. While this new tools has myriad uses, it is primarily intended to help support emergency planning functions. The Washington Earthquake Scenario Catalog is hosted by the Washington Department of Natural Resources and is easily accessible at fortress.wa.gov/dnr/seismicscenarios.

It's also a great time just to touch base with the council, voice any concerns or ask for further direction, etc. At their last meeting, council scheduled this work session for Monday, February 11, 2013, beginning at 5:00 p.m. I have split the time up as follows: • 5:00 p.m.: Meet with the Historic Preservation Commission • 5:30 p.m.: Meet with the Port and Commerce Advisory Board • 6:00 p.m.: Meet with the Planning and Zoning Commission Please plan to attend this work session if you can and bring a draft of your annual priorities for the year. If you don't have something drafted already, you can always bring the results from the previous year's priority work session as something to start with. The meeting times this year are much shorter and I apologize for that! If you feel you may need more time, it may be worth requesting council schedule an additional work session.
