In accordance with SCC ~ 15.10.320 (D), the Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the applicant's request for a CUP to develop a hotel in the R3 Zoning District and identified the following findings of fact and conclusions: A. The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes of the zoning district. The property is zoned Multi-Family Residential (R3). The R3 district is intended to provide opportunities for a higher density residential setting with a mix of housing units which are predominately multi-family units close to concentrations of public services, employment and/or recreation. This district may provide a transition between more intensive districts and lower density residential areas if sufficient screening and design features are provided to protect multi-family residences from undesirable effects. According to the Seward Zoning Code, Land Uses Allowed Table, hotels and motels are allowed in the R3 district by CUP. Setbacks: The R3 district requires the following setbacks: 20 foot front; 10 side; 10 side to a street; 10 rear. It appears that the existing building footprint meets all of the required setbacks. ;lPPd Al!UnWUIoJ }O I;lA:r] 118m AIsnOpu;lUI;lJI * S;lJm:mJ1S UlDISRIV :)polS!H }O ;lSR:)MOllS * sS;lunuR;lIJ * 8U!dR:)SPUR'1 111J!lnR;ll:I * :Sl!

The Community Appearance Goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to: Improve the appearance of the entire community through increased landscaping, beautification and litter control efforts, through more attention to sign control and through promoting the preservation of Seward's historic architecture. The Plan recommends continuing to require landscaping plans as a condition of CUPs where feasible (page 17). The Plan states that Seward derives part of its unique character from its historic architecture; this character must be saved. The Plan encourages continued support for tourism and promoting Seward I s Alaska history and marine history to a broad range of visitors. The Transportation Facilities Goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to: Maintain Seward's Transportation Plan as the primary local tool to ensure safe and convenient transportation facilities that address the needs of Seward residents, businesses and visitors to the year 20/0. The Plan encourages the maintenance of safe and efficient vehicular traffic flow to all existing and future development areas in Seward. D. Public Services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed site. It appears that adequate water, sewer, and power are available to the property, as well as adequate police and solid waste disposal services. There are two fire hydrants in the immediate vicinity. One is located near the southwest corner of the site, and the other is near the northwest corner. The applicant may be required to install an additional hydrant. City code requires that every business within the City must provide containers suitable for refuse collection (SCC ~ 14.05). Construction waste and debris must be removed weekly and upon completion of construction. E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare. There is concern that the proposed development will dramatically impact the traffic flow in and out of Gateway Subdivision as presently routed. This development plan places all of the hotel traffic on Phoenix Road which curves around the west side of the Jesse Lee Home property, and has no sidewalks or paved shoulder for pedestrians. Phoenix Road provides the only access to Gateway Subdivision which is improved with 52 single-family homes. The site plan identifies a one-way entrance to the property off of Phoenix Road at the southwest corner of the parcel, and an entrance/exit off of Phoenix Road at the northwest corner of the lot. Developing the platted but unimproved Benson Drive to a maintainable level would provide an alternate access/exit to the hotel, and assist in diverting some of the hotel traffic off of Phoenix Road. Improving the access off of Benson would increase traffic through the Jesse Lee Heights Subdivision to the east. .8661 'lsrUlnv JO ABP Ip81 S!Ip UO!SS!UIUIOJ 1lU!UOZ pUB 1lU!UUBld plBM:JS :Jl/l Aq mlAOHddV <INV mlSSYd .UOpdOpB 1lU!MOHOJ SABp 01l:l:JJJ:J :J){1ll HBl/S uopnlos:Jl S!l/l.
