Planning Commission

Planning Commission – This 9-member body meets twice a month (with some exceptions) every other Monday evening. You will review and decide on plats, road right-of-way locations and abandonment (vacations), requests for a variety of exceptions to the planning code across the entire Kenai Peninsula Borough. Conditions for new gravel pits and development along salmon bearing streams among other matters. This is a unique opportunity where commissioners make legislative decisions in the form of recommendations to the Assembly as well as sitting as quasi-judicial (judge-like) body to decide on items in law regarding individual permits and exceptions to the code.

Membership, duties, and responsibilities of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission are set by Borough Code 2.40 (amended by Ordinance 2007-34). 

Planning Commission meetings are held in the Betty J. Glick Assembly Chambers of the Kenai Peninsula Borough George A. Navarre Administration Building, 144 N. Binkley Street, Soldotna.
