PUBLIC HEARINGS
Resolution 2026-002 of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Seward Alaska,
recommending City Council amend Seward City Code § 15.10.140 Definitions and § 15.10.226
Land Uses Allowed to incorporate regulations for a mobile health unit
Motion (Charbonneau/Pemberton) Approve Resolution 2026-002
City Planner Courtney Bringhurst explained that this topic was discussed at the previous work
session and involves the Seward Community Health Center's request to use a motorized van to
provide routine, non -emergency health screenings and preventive care. She stated that staff
recommends amending code to define a "mobile health unit" and also add it to the Land Use Table.
Bringhurst explained that the proposed ordinance would establish definitions and regulations for
both mobile medical units and mobile health units and allow mobile health units to operate outright
in several zoning districts including: Office Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Harbor, Central
Business, and Institutional.
Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the
public hearing was opened.
Jilian Chapman introduced herself as the CEO of the Seward Community Health Center. She
thanked the commission for the opportunity to speak at the work session and for considering the
change. She noted that the mobile health unit has already been operating for a season and
highlighted the need to ensure it meets community healthcare needs while being respectful of
neighboring areas. She expressed appreciation for the way the ordinance is written, emphasizing
that it supports not only current needs but also future community needs by allowing mobile
healthcare services from a range of providers like mobile dentistry.
No one else appeared and the public hearing was closed.
Charbonneau noted a housekeeping change in the Whereas section should be made to replace the
word "hospitals" with "healthcare providers" which is more standard and still encompasses
hospitals.

Planning and Zoning Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: April 7, 2026
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
Through: Daniel Meuninck, Community Development Director
From: Courtney Bringhurst, Planner
Agenda Item: Resolution 2026-003 of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City
of Seward Alaska, granting a conditional use permit to Robert Williams and
Travis Maurer for the construction of a seventeen -unit multi -family
residential structure, including approval of a building height of up to forty-
eight (48) feet, on Tract 5B-2, Forest Acres Subdivision, Seward Gateway
Properties, located at 2405 Seward Highway, within an Auto Commercial
(AC) zoning district
Background and justification:
Robert Williams and Travis Maurer have submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) to develop a 17-unit multi -family residential project within the Auto Commercial (AC)
zoning district. Multi -family housing is allowed in the AC district through the CUP process, which
provides the City an opportunity to evaluate site -specific conditions, ensure compatibility with
surrounding uses, and apply appropriate conditions to mitigate potential impacts. Additionally,
pursuant to Seward City Code 15.10.220(B)(1), approval of the CUP would allow the developer
to construct the multi -family residential building up to a height of 48 feet.
Affordability and lack of housing diversity are widely recognized challenges within Seward's
housing market. While year-round rental units and homes for sale are available, many of these
options remain financially out of reach for local workers and families. High seasonal demand and
a limited supply of moderately priced, long-term housing continue to place pressure on the
community. In particular, there is a need for more "missing middle" housing, such as apartments
and moderately sized multi -family developments, to provide attainable options for year-round
residents.
Much of Seward's existing housing stock consists of single-family homes, with comparatively
fewer apartment -style units designed for long-term occupancy, especially those suitable for
families or multi -person households of moderate income. The proposed seventeen -unit apartment
building would help address this gap by adding more attainable housing options and increasing
overall housing stock. The units are anticipated to be available for long-term rental and/or
ownership, providing flexibility and expanding access to housing opportunities within the
community.
The applicants propose to construct a multi -family residential building with seventeen (17)
dwelling units. The building will include:
• Four (4) two -bedroom units
• Four (4) three -bedroom units
• Four (4) one -bedroom units
• Five (5) studio units
This configuration provides a range of housing options designed to accommodate individuals,
couples, families with children, and multi -generational households. The project has the potential
to:
• Support local employers by increasing workforce housing availability.
• Provide stable housing options for families with children through the inclusion of two- and
three -bedroom units.
• Offer smaller, more attainable units (studios and one -bedroom apartments) for individuals,
seasonal workers transitioning to year-round residency, and seniors seeking downsized
living arrangements.
• Reduce pressure on the existing housing stock and help moderate upward pressure on rents
driven by limited supply.
The subject property is located adjacent to the Seward Highway, which is designed to
accommodate higher traffic volumes. As a result, traffic generated by the development is expected
to be absorbed by existing infrastructure and is not anticipated to significantly impact surrounding
residential areas. The site is also bordered by a mix of municipal and non-residential uses, further
supporting the compatibility of the proposed development.
This proposal represents the first phase of a larger, multi -phase development anticipated by the
applicant. Future phases may include additional housing units; however, each phase will be
required to obtain a separate Conditional Use Permit and will be subject to review to ensure
compliance with applicable code requirements and compatibility with surrounding uses.
The CUP process ensures that the development is evaluated holistically, balancing the
community's housing needs with compatibility considerations and the preservation of Seward's
small-town character.
The public notification process was complied with and the appropriate public hearing, as required
by Seward City Code § 15.01.040.
Regarding conditional uses, Seward city code § 15.10.320 states, "it is recognized that there are
some uses which may be compatible with designated principal uses in specific zoning districts
provided certain conditions are met. The conditional use permit procedure is intended to allow
flexibility in the consideration of the impact of the proposed use on surrounding property, and the
application of controls and safeguards to assure that the proposed use will be compatible with the
surroundings. The commission shall permit this type of use if the conditions and requirements
listed in this chapter (Title 15) are met."
Prior to granting a conditional use permit, the Commission shall establish that the use satisfies the
following conditions as listed in SCC §15.10.320(D):
1. The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes of the zoning district;
2. The value of the adjoining property will not be significantly impaired;
3. The proposed use is in harmony with the comprehensive plan;
4. Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use;
5. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare;
8
6. 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.
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
Development Requirements: The proposed structure meets the Zoning Code Development
Requirements (Table 15.10.220) for maximum lot coverage (50 percent) and required setbacks (10
feet front, 10 feet rear, 10 feet side adjacent to a street, and 5 feet side adjacent to a property line).
The minimum required lot size for a 17-unit multi -family development is 24,600 square feet.
Multifamily developments with three (3) or more units require a minimum of 9,000 square feet
with an additional 1,200 square feet per unit of five (5) or more units.
Seward City Code §15.10.220(B)(1) also allows building heights up to 48 feet through the CUP
process when specific criteria are met, including location within the defined area and development
as multi -family residential. The subject property meets the geographic and land use criteria
outlined in the code.
Surrounding Land Use: The subject property is directly adjacent to the City snow dump to the
west, which is zoned Auto Commercial. Further west is a block of residential properties zoned
Multi -Family Residential. To the north, across Dieckgraeff Road, is vacant land zoned Resource
Management. To the east, across the Seward Highway, is the Seward Airport, which is zoned
Industrial. To the south is a City municipal campground zoned Institutional, which is also the
planned future site of the City fire station. A City park is located to the southwest of the subject
property.
Floodplain Status: According to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Floodplain Map, the property is
located within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Additional permitting will be required prior
to the construction of the 17-unit building.
Utilities: Public services, including water, sewer, electric, and road access, will be available to
adequately serve the proposed development, subject to required improvements through the
subdivision agreement and building permit process. Adequate fire, police, and solid waste disposal
services are available to the property. The city code also requires that every building or building
site within the city must provide containers suitable for refuse collection (SCC 14.05). All
containers shall be watertight with an animal -proof lid.
Parking: According to City Code § 15.10.215, a multi -family dwelling is required to provide one
(1) parking space per dwelling unit. The site plan and building plan show that 24 parking spaces
will be provided, which exceeds that required 17 per city code. Parking spaces provided must be
a minimum of 9ft wide and 18ft long, and ADA-compliant.

WHEREAS, the public notification process was complied with and the appropriate public hearing,
as required by Seward City Code § 15.01.040.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA:
Section 1. According to SCC 15.10.320 It is recognized that there are some uses which may be
compatible with designated principal uses in specific zoning districts provided certain conditions
are met. The conditional use permit procedure is intended to allow flexibility in the consideration
of the impact of the proposed use on surrounding property, and the application of controls and
safeguards to assure that the proposed use will be compatible with the surroundings. The
commission shall permit this type of use if the conditions and requirements listed in this chapter
are met. 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. According to the Land Use Allowed Table,
§ 15.10.226, a multi -family dwelling is allowed within the auto commercial (AC) zoning
district with an approved conditional use permit. The AC zoning district is defined as "an
area intended to accommodate highway -oriented commercial activities such as offices,
certain institutional uses, and limited personal services and retail uses requiring substantial
outdoor activity, traffic and parking, and which also serve the offices and nearby residential
areas, and which do not materially detract from nearby residential areas."
Seward City Code §15.10.220(B)(1) also allows building heights up to 48 feet through the
CUP process when specific criteria are met, including location within the defined area and
development as multi -family residential. The subject property meets the geographic criteria
outlined in the code, and the proposed use is permitted within the AC zoning district
through a CUP. The proposed building height is therefore allowable, subject to this
approval.
B. The value of adjoining property will not be significantly impaired.
Finding: This condition has been met. The surrounding land uses include municipal and
public -use properties (city snow dump, campground, airport, and vacant land). Due to the
nature and separation of these uses, the proposed development is not expected to negatively
impact adjoining property values. The project represents development of long -vacant land
and is compatible with the surrounding area.
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 2030
Comprehensive Plan.

City of Seward."
Vol 1, Chapter 3.9.1.1 — "Maintain Seward's small town, family -oriented character throughout

E. Public Services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Finding: This condition has been met. Public services, including water, sewer, electric,
and road access, will be available to adequately serve the proposed development, subject
to required improvements through the subdivision agreement and building permit
process. Adequate fire, police, and solid waste disposal services are available to the
property. The city code also requires that every building or building site within the city
must provide containers suitable for refuse collection (SCC 14.05). All containers shall
be watertight with an animal -proof lid.
F. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
Finding: The proposed development will be required to comply with all applicable local,
state, and federal regulations, including the International Building Code and International
Fire Code, ensuring that it will not be harmful to public safety, health, or welfare. The
subject property is located adjacent to the Seward Highway, which is designed to
accommodate higher traffic volumes. As a result, traffic generated by the development is
expected to be absorbed by existing infrastructure and is not anticipated to significantly
impact surrounding residential areas.
Section 2. Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Commission to fulfill the
above -mentioned conditions shall be met by the applicant. Approval of the CUP shall be subject
to the following conditions:
13
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION

Department of Transportation permits that may be required.
11. 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 finding
that circumstances have not changed sufficiently since the date of initial permit approval.
12. Modification of final approval of a conditional use permit may, upon application by the
permittee, 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 3. 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
in Section 2, are met by the applicant, and authorizes the administration to issue a conditional use
permit to Robert Williams and Travis Maurer for the construction of a seventeen -unit multi -family
residential structure, including approval of a building height of up to forty-eight (48) feet, on Tract

Planning and Zoning Memorandum
Meeting Date: April 7, 2026
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
Through: Daniel Meuninck, Community Development Director
RE: Election of Chair & Vice Chair
Background and justification:
The Planning and Zoning Commission is required to elect a Chair and Vice Chair annually in
accordance with Seward City Code 2.30.210(B). This annual election ensures the Commission
maintains designated leadership to facilitate meetings, guide discussion, and support the orderly
conduct of Commission business throughout the year.
The Chair is responsible for presiding over all Commission meetings and work sessions,
maintaining order during proceedings, recognizing speakers, and ensuring meetings are conducted
in accordance with applicable municipal code, adopted procedures, and parliamentary rules.
The Vice Chair serves as the presiding officer in the absence of the Chair and assists with
leadership responsibilities as needed to ensure continuity of Commission operations.
During this agenda item, the Commission will open nominations and elect a Chair and Vice Chair
from among its members to serve for the upcoming term.
Below are guidelines that may be used for the election of the Chair and Vice Chair positions.
VOTING & APPOINTING PROCEDURE
1. The Presiding Officer opens the floor for nominations of Chair.
2. Any commissioner, including the Presiding Officer, may nominate one or more
commissioners for the position.
3. If only one nomination is received, a motion is made to close the nominations and cast a
unanimous ballot for the chosen person. That motion will need a second and can be
approved by unanimous consent (no roll call is necessary).
4. If more than one nomination is received, paper ballots will be distributed for each
commissioner to sign and vote for a nominee, or else the commission may conduct a voice
vote. It takes four affirmative votes to be appointed.
Once the Chair is elected, the same procedure is repeated for the Vice Chair.
