continued contributions of this site for the benefit of the larger community. The rezone request
suggests the need for further investigation which is beyond the scope of this immediate review.
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the Objectives
of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan mentions the need and desire for economic diversity and economic
opportunity in the community. It also speaks to the need to maintain good two -way
communication between the Kodiak Island Borough and the City of Ouzinkie. This need also
applies to the related native corporations and tribal councils serving the community as well. The
rezone will eliminate certain zoning nonconformities that have pre- existed on the rezone site for
many years and will encourage the kind of re- development that is consistent with past use and
which has served the best interests of the Ouzinkie community for many years.
