NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission that: Section 1. In accordance with SCC§ 15.10.320(D), the Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the applicant's request for a CUP to operate a 10 unit studio apartment building on Lots 2 & 3 Block 7, Federal Addition; within the Auto Commercial Zoning District and declared the following Findings of Fact: 1. 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. The applicant has stated that each apartment unit will meet the 500 square foot maximum size specified in SCC 15.10.140(E), and will be used as long-term rentals. The property is located within the Auto Commercial Zoning District. The project site plan meets all setback, structure height and parking requirements. The minimum buildable lot size requirement of 9000 square feet, on-site 22173 Seward Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution 2019-003 Page 2 parking and open area requirements have been met, per site plans submitted on February 11, 2019.

The proposed use is in harmony with the Seward Comprehensive Plan. Comprehensive Plan, (2030— adopted by Council May 30, 2017) Finding: This condition has been met. There is an identified community need for all types of housing in Seward.

Water, sewer, and power are available to the property. Adequate fire, police and solid waste disposal services are available to the property. City code also requires that every building or building site within the City must provide containers suitable for refuse collection (SCC 14.05).

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission that: Section 1. In accordance with SCC§ 15.10.320(D), the Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the applicant's request for a CUP to operate a parking lot on Lots 21 - 23 Block 10, Laubner Addition; within the Urban Residential Zoning District and declared the following Findings of Fact: 1. 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. The applicant has stated that the lot will be used by employees and clients of their business, located at 1013 Third Avenue, for the months of May through September. The applicant also states that they wish to add a temporary storage shelter to the rear of the property, and store up to two privately used boats at the location during the winter months. Parking lots are allowed in the Urban Residential Zoning District by Conditional Use 43/73 Seward Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution 2019-004 Page 2 Permit.

The parcel to the east is zoned Auto Commercial, and includes a seasonally operated restaurant. Properties to the south across Van Buren street consist of a single family home zoned R1 residential, and the applicant's commercial guide business, formerly known as Seward Plumbing, which is zoned Central Business (CBD). The applicant states that the present condition of the lot is overgrown with small Aiders. The applicant states they intend to clear the lot and plan to have the parking neatly spaced. A site plan was included with the application showing the proposed parking diagram.

It is further recommended that the applicant maintain the vegetative buffer that is currently present along Second Avenue and Van Buren Streets in order to screen the parking lot from view. Seward City Code supports the separation of parking lots in residential zoning districts by a fence or hedge (15.10.215 (h)(3). The vegetation that presently exists on the property, if maintained in such a way, will function as adequate visual separation as a hedge. 3. The proposed use is in harmony with the Seward Comprehensive Plan. Comprehensive Plan, (2030— adopted by Council May 30, 2017) Finding: This condition has been met.

Wilde discussed the development and permitting history of the hotel, citing the original parking conditions and summarizing subsequent renovations. Notice of public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. Tom Tougas, inside city, stated that Harbor 360 hotel user data indicate that an average of 48 parties per night travel to Seward by means other than car. Tougas stated that his tour boat #1/73 City of Seward, Alaska Seward Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes March 5, 2019 Volume 7, Page 320 business and hotel business are mutually beneficial, and often provide package accommodations with guests arriving by bus. Tougas discussed the current parking requirement for the Harbor 360 hotel, and stated that the parking his business was required to provide was currently underutilized. Chair Ecklund asked if Commissioners had any questions for the applicant, Mr. Tougas Fleming asked what would happen if additional rooms were to be built in the Hotel. Tougas stated that there was no more room in the building for additional guest rooms Swann asked where employees of the hotel parked. Tougas stated that the business purchases City parking passes for its employees. Hatfield asked if all staff and guests parked in the Cityj 0- king lot across from the Hotel.

Swann thought that hotel users were more apt to need parking in the evening. Ambrosiani asked administration how accurate estimates are that City parking lots are full in the summer. Hickok stated that it is difficult to determine occupancy rates due to high vehicle turnover in the parking lots. Hickok pointed to the data provided by SPRD Director Sturdy in the packet on increased revenues as evidence of increasing demand on harbor parking lots. Ecklund asked if a parking requirement had ever been lowered in the past, or if any other hotels operating under a CUP had a lower parking requirement than 1 space per guest room. Charbonneau stated that he is concerned about the scarcity of parking in the harbor area. He stated that he works in the harbor 62173 City of Seward, Alaska Seward Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes March 5, 2019 Volume 7, Page 321 every day in the summer and observes that parking lots are full during peak months. Charbonneau is concerned about parking spaces being available for all the businesses located in the harbor area, and concerned about how relaxing parking requirements would affect future growth in the City. Charbonneau pointed out that the argument for reducing the parking requirement rests on the business model of offering package tours, and asked if this resolution could revert back to the original requirement if the hotel were to change hands. Ecklund stated that this could be done by resolution or by amending the resolution on the floor. Hatfield stated that she pays for parking in the summer and sometimes cannot find parking to get to work, and stated that she is not the only one in this situation.

Throughout the month of March, FEMA Region 10 will highlight projects demonstrating mitigation, share information and ideas about understanding your risk, and provide steps to making mitigation part of our daily lives. What is Mitigation? Consider this: What if we had an earthquake and buildings were not damaged because community officials required that buildings be constructed or retrofitted to withstand intense shaking? Continued on next page www.starr-team.com NEWS FROM REGION 10 Mitigation March (cont.) What if a river overtopped its banks but nearby schools were protected from flooding because they were built high enough to not get wet? • What if a wildfire burned, but homes were not threatened because landowners had trimmed branches and thinned forests to create a large enough defensible space? This is mitigation in action; it is the result of homeowners, building professionals, engineers, community planners, and elected officials working to provide a safe community for all of us. Mitigation is an investment in your community's future safety and sustainability. Join us to learn how proactive mitigation actions and policies help reduce risk and create safer, more disaster resilient communities. Mitigation is most effective before a natural disaster affects your community but is equally important when a community is rebuilding after a devastating hazard.

MARCH 2019 Recommended Reading: Are You Prepared? FEMA Blog provides insight on personal & community preparedness Being prepared for an unexpected circumstance can be challenging for individuals and communities but having a plan in place for these occurrences can help decrease the amount of loss following a destructive event. "When it comes to disasters, mother nature does not discriminate," Rebecca Wiggins, Executive Director of the Association for Financial Counseling & Planning Education warns readers in her recent FEMA blog ostia . Focusing primarily on financial preparedness, Wiggins provides resources for individuals seeking information on how to improve financial health to expand their security in the event of a natural disaster. In addition to material on financial preparedness, these blog postings offer perspective on what individual and family preparedness looks like in the event of an unforeseen dangerous situation. Through her recount of a recent vacation, Rachael Neal explains the importance of small precautionary measures in her FEMA blog post, The Importance of Personal Preparedness.
