The Kenai Peninsula Borough is divided into two base zoning districts: the Municpal District, and the Rural District. And unless there is an added overlay district, such as the Habitat Protection District or Floodplain District, the Borough doesn't generally restrict land use activities.

Local Option Zoning Districts (LOZDs) are available as a means to provide property owners in the Rural District an opportunity to request the borough adopt greater restrictions on land use. These can be implemented in new or existing subdivisions that have 12 or more contiguous lots.

Local Option Zoning Districts:

• R-1 Single-Family Residential District
• R-2 Small Lot Residential District
• R-R Rural Residential District
• R-W Residential Waterfront District
• R-M Multi-Family Residential District
• C-3 Mixed-Use District

Creating an LOZD:

1. An application signed by six (6) lot owners must be submitted to the Planning Department.
2. The Planning Department will hold a community meeting about the proposed LOZD.
3. The application must garner support from 60% of property owners in the proposed LOZD within 60 days of submitting the application, or the matter is deemed closed.
4. If the application garners enough support, the Planning Department will schedule it to be introduced to the KPB Assembly for adoption.
5. After adoption, property owners with prior-existing uses and structures have one year to apply for a Non-Conforming Use Determination.
6. After adoption, property owners must submit a Development Notice to the Planning Department for any proposed structure with a permanent foundation.
