Regulations applying to this zone are designed to encourage a compact group of businesses of the type which are mutually beneficial and located close enough together to encourage walk-in trade; and WHEREAS, the public notification process was complied with and the appropriate public hearing as required by Seward City Code § 15.01.040 was conducted by the Commission on July 21, 2020; and 67 CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA ORDINANCE 2020-011 WHEREAS, at the July 21, 2020 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the application, held a public hearing, and recommended City Council approval of the proposed zoning amendment included in this ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA HEREBY ORDAINS that: Section 1. The Seward City Council hereby authorizes the amendment of the official Zoning Map of the City by amending the zoning designation of Lots 3, 4-5 and N 1/2 lot 6 Block 16 Original Townsite Seward from to Multi -family residential (R3) to Central business district (CB). Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect ten (10) days following its enactment. ENACTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA this 14th day of September, 2020. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ATTEST: Brenda J. Ballou, MMC City Clerk (City Seal) THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA Christy Terry, Mayor y Council Agenda Statement Meeting Date: To: August 24, 2020 City Council Through: Scott Meszaros, City Manager; Jackie C. Wilde, Community Development Director --x5 From: Eric A. Kozielski, Planner Agenda Item: Ordinance of the Seward City Council, Amending the Zoning Designation of Lots 3, 4-5 And N'/z of Lot 6 Block 16 Original Townsite Seward from Multi -Family Residential (R3) to Central Business District (CB) BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: This Ordinance will amend the zoning designation of Lots 3, 4-5 & N1/2 Lot 6 Block 16, Original Townsite of Seward (OTS), from Multi -Family Residential (R3) to Central Business District (CB). (Exhibit "A") The property owner of Lot 3 Block 16 Original Townsite Seward, submitted an application to initiate a rezoning and paid the requisite filing fee on May 8, 2020. The proposed area to be amended included three (3) parcels consisting of approximately .31 acres. The applicant requested this rezone to bring the lots into conformance with the Land Use Plan and to provide for future commercial uses allowed within the Central Business (CB) district, possibly for a communications tower. The Resolution was brought to the Planning and Zoning Commission for public hearing June 2, 2020. The application was postponed due to a conflict between co -owners of Lot 2 BIock I6 where none controlled a majority share, and for staff to request support from nearby property owners to rezone all the Multi -family (R3) zoning between Jefferson and Adams Streets, Blocks 16 & 17 OTS, bringing this entire area into conformance with the future Land Use Map. Staff mailed eight letters to owners of these Multi -family (113) zoned properties on June 16, 2020, explaining the rezone and requesting comment. Staff made phone calls by June 22, 2020 explaining the letters and requesting whether the owner supported a rezone of ►A Council Agenda Statement Page 2 of 4 said area. Responses were accepted through June 30, 2020 so they may be tallied for the commission meeting. There was a 62.5% response rate. Of those responding, 60% opposed being included in rezoning the entire area but only 40% opposed the original rezoning. 40% supported the original rezoning application or rezoning the entire area. At the rescheduled P&Z Commission Meeting of July 21, 2020, staff brought forward the original Resolution with the recommendation that Lot 2 Block 16 OTS be removed from the rezoning application. Staff further recommended that Commission examine whether this would constitute "spot" or contract zoning due to the increased zoning inconsistencies along Block 16. Per SCC § 15.01.035 Amendments: Zoning and land use boundaries may be amended or repealed by City Council following procedures in the section 15.01.035 (b) (1) c. - The request to amend the zoning of LOTS 3, 4-5 & N 1/2 LOT 6 BLOCK 16, OTS was initiated by petition of a 100% majority of the property owners of this area to be amended. 15.01.035 (b) (3) - The request to amend the zoning of LOTS 3, 4-5 & NI/2 LOT 6 BLOCK 16, OTS contains Iess than one acre, approximately .24 acres, not including street or alley rights -of -way; However, the request to amend the zoning of LOTS 3, 4-5 & N1/2 LOT 6 BLOCK 16, OTS. would alter the existing R3 to the contiguous CB and would bring these specific parcels into conformance with the Land Use Plan as approved by City Council in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. This contiguity was determined after research into the actual location of zoning district boundary lines in the originally adopted zoning map, (Exhibit "B"). INTENT: Amend the Land Use Plan and Zoning Designation of Lots 3, 4, 5 and N 1/2 of 6 Block 16, Original Townsite from Multi Family Residential (R3) to Central Business District (CB). Research was done to compare the currently depicted official zoning map as compared to the original official zoning map identified as the existing zoning map April 10, 1988 in ORD1989 626, and executed in the January 2, 1990 map. The original indicates the boundaries following the centerlines of streets and alleys; the current map depiction indicates boundaries at lot lines. None of the ordinances since officially adopting the map have made changes to the original street centerlines as the zoning designation boundaries. 8 Council Agenda Statement Page 3 of 4 CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No NIA Comprehensive Plan (2030, approved by Council May 30, 2017): 3.2.2.1 Maintain community vision through the rigorous implementation and update of the Comprehensive and Land Use Plans (page 1-14) 1. Update the zoning code to implement the Comprehensive Plan X and bring the zoning map into conformance with the Land Use Plan (page 1-14, bullet 3) Strategic Plan (Approved by Council Resolution 99-043): Pursue the community's vision through rigorous implementation of the 2. Comprehensive and Land Use Plans. (Pages 10 H, Large Bullet 2) X Update the Zoning Code to implement the Comprehensive Plan (Pages 10-11, Small Bullet 4) PUBLIC NOTICE: Property owners within three hundred (300) feet of the affected area were notified of this proposed land u,.e amendment. Public notice signs were po,;tc:d on each block in the area to be amended and all other public hearing requirements of Seward City Code § 15.01.040 were complied with. The first round of public notice mailings missed co -owners on properties. The process for verifying the lot owners now includes an individual review of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assessing Department ownership information for each lot affected. Public notice signs were posted on the property, and all other public hearing requirements of Seward City Code § 15. 01.040 were complied with. FISCAL NOTE: The City of Seward will have no costs associated with this amendment to the Land Use Plan and change of zoning designation. Approved by Finance Department IT ATTORNEY REVIEW: Yes`X No PUBLIC COMMENT: Comment solicited from the eight letters to owners mailed June 16, 2020 are as follows. Leona Cange, the adjacent landowner to the south of the rezone area, submitted a letter of objection. Two other phone conversations with Ms. Cange reiterated those concerns. Ms. Coppock, the adjacent land owner to the north of the rezone area, stated in a telephone conversation with staff that there were several historical residences in this portion of Fifth Avenue and putting a commercial structure or communications tower here would change the character of the area. Ms. Coppock was also concerned that staff would seek support Council Agenda Statement Page 4 of 4 to rezone all the Multi -Family zoned lots in the area. Mr. Hearn, one of the land owners across the street to the east of the rezone area, stated he did not want to be involved in a rezone but had no comment otherwise. Mrs. Clemens, another of the land owners across the street to the east of the rezone area, stated she and her husband agreed that they support rezoning the entire area, but this phone conversation was after the deadline on July 20, 2020, and would not have made a majority of lot ownership in support of rezoning the entire area. Of those other owners in support, Mr. Cannava was interested in the ability to develop a commercial use on his lots but had no plans to at this time. Ms. Casagranda has commercial plans for her lot and desires this rezone so that she may move forward on them. Public comment at the June 2, 2020 meeting included objection to the rezone from the co-owner of Lot 2 Block 16 OTS, Meghan Coppock. Ms. Coppock stated she was against any additional commercial uses on this portion of Fifth Avenue, that the character of the immediate area was historical and residential. She also brought up her concern that the procedure used for public noticing could be missing property owners. The applicant Ristine Casagranda spoke on behalf of the rezoning for allowing for commercial uses on the property and bringing the parcels into conformance with the Land Use Plan. During the July 21, 2020 public hearing Ms. Cange's letter was part of the Agenda Packet and cited the historic and residential character of the area. Ms. Casagranda spoke in support of the rezoning citing the conformance to the land use plan and new economic opportunities. Ms. Coppock spoke in opposition to the rezoning based on the residential and historical character of this area as a boon to the overall character of town. Ms. Griswold spoke in opposition to the rezoning stating that this would be considered spot zoning and against the law. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission approved the proposed application by a vote of 5 to 1. Based on the small area of the rezoning, the inconsistency created in the zoning of this area, and the potential for intense commercial development to sandwich residential dwellings, community development recommends City Council examine the potential for spot zoning prior to a vote, just as recommended to the Commission. itt Agenda Item: Ordinance of the Seward City Council, Amending the Zoning Designation of Lots 3, 4-5 And Nl/2 of Lot 6 Block 16 Original Townsite Seward from Multi -Family Residential (R3) to Central Business District (CB) 335, 331 FIRM Ave Parc els O Single Family Residential Mufti Family Residential - Urban Residential - orrice Residential - Auto CDm mercial Central Business District 0 I nstlu tlonal - Park i E=�ER3 h Exhibit "A" 5 t .

Despite best efforts to blend in, a new cell tower would entail replacing the historic landscaping with gravel and surrounding the property with a six-foot fence. This is incompatible with this lovely, landscaped, neighborhood in the historic district and is opposed by several of the adjacent property owners and neighbors; and WHEREAS, in addition to the applicant's desire for a communications tower, there are 47 other outright commercial uses allowed in commercial business (CB) zones vs 12 outright uses allowed in multi -family residential (R3) zones. If the parcels are rezoned, then any of these other uses would be allowed and many of these uses may not be in harmony with maintaining the historic character of the downtown historic district; and 13 CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2020-04 WHEREAS, lot coverage is allowed to increase from 40% in multi -family residential zones to 100% in commercial business zones, which could affect the landscaping that makes this historic area so beautiful; and WHEREAS, Seward's goals as listed in the 2017 Historic Preservation Plan are to promote historic preservation as an economic development tool, and provide incentives to encourage economic development, community engagement in preservation, and community appreciation for Seward's history. Economically, the preservation of downtown and historic areas increases foot traffic and tourism, which enhances the patronage of local businesses; and WHEREAS, Seward strives to promote preservation in key areas through designation and promotion of historic districts. Preserving traditions and landmarks and surrounding area creates a unique sense of place that encourages community building and allows all residents — old, new, and seasonal — to engage locally and create a connection with their surroundings; and WHEREAS, the development of the original Historic Preservation Plan in 1996 was spurred by concern over progressive loss of local historical character, particularly within the downtown area. Physical preservation, maintaining traditions, and retaining an intangible "sense of place" were identified as important to the citizens of Seward. Communities that prioritize historic preservation can create a linkage to the past that engages and inspires people in Seward's historic prominence, unique location, and accessibility make it one of the few Alaskan communities with potential to achieve these goals. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA that: Section 1. The commission supports maintaining the current zoning of Lots 3, 4-5 and N of Lot 6 Block 16 Original Townsite of Seward as Multi -Family Residential (R3) in an effort to preserve Seward's downtown historic district. Section 2. This resolution shall take place immediately upon adoption. PASSED AND APPROVED by the Seward Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Seward, Alaska, this 13th day of August, 2020.
