30 Section 1: This ordinance is not of a general and permanent nature and shall not
31 become a part of the Kodiak Island Borough Code of Ordinances;
32
33 Section 2: The Old Harbor Airport, as it may be fixed by survey at the conclusion of
34 the planned construction improvements, is hereby rezoned from R1-Single-
35 family Residential to LI-Light Industrial.

37 Section 3: The findings of the Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning
38 Commission are hereby confirmed as follows:
39
40
41 17.205.020 A. Findings as the Need and Justification for a Change or
42 Amendment.
43
44 The proposed rezone of the Old Harbor Airport from R1-Single-family Residential to LI--
45 • Light Industrial is needed in order to enhance the safe operation of the airport and to
46 increase its capability to support the use of the airport by larger cargo rated aircraft. The
47 improvements will be carried out to ADOT&PF and FAA standards and when completed
48 should also provide additional opportunities for economic development within the Old
49 Harbor community.
50 The rezone will eliminate the nonconforming status of the existing airport and allow the
51 expansion of the airport to improve safety, increase capacity, and generally bring the
52 expanded airport into full compliance with all current and applicable FAA regulations

53 pertaining to utility airports. After the zoning becomes effective, a single conditional use
54 permit will allow all future airport related development as a "use-by-right" that will be
55 eligible for "over-the-counter" zoning compliance review. The proposed rezone will not
56 create any nonconforming lots or uses.
57 17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have
58 on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
59
60 The proposed LI--Light Industrial zoning district is generally consistent with the objectives
61 of the 2008 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan Update and the incorporated Old
62 Harbor Annex to that plan.
