Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Ordinance No. FY2008 -18 Page 1 of 2 Section 3: The findings of the Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission are hereby confirmed as follows: 17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or Amendment. The proposed rezone of the new Ouzinkie Airport from C- Conservation to LI -Light Industrial is appropriate for the development of a new airport to serve the Ouzinkie community. The rezone will eliminate the nonconforming status of the existing airport (in the R1- Single- family Residential zoning district) and allow the expansion of the airport to improve safety, increase capacity, and generally bring the new airport into full compliance with all applicable FAA regulations pertaining to utility airports. After the zoning becomes effective, a single conditional use permit (approved by the Commission concurrently with this rezone) will allow all future airport related development as a "use -by- right" that is eligible for "over -the- counter" zoning compliance review. The proposed rezone will not create any nonconforming lots or uses. 17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed LI -Light Industrial zoning district is generally consistent with the objectives of the 2007 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan Update and the incorporated Ouzinkie Annex to that plan.
