17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or Amendment.
The land is very suited for this industrial use since it is located near the shoreline across from
the small boat harbor. There is also good access along Mountain View Road to the ocean
dock for transportation and utility corridor.
This rezone and accompanying replat would not only bring into conformity the existing bulk
fuel storage use at this site, but would also allow for development that would remedy several
fire and building code deficiencies and violations at the existing tank farm. Consolidation of
the tank farm site would be cost - effective by allowing both facilities to be served by common
fuel pipelines, reducing not only construction costs, but also the cost of fuel as well as long-
term operation and maintenance expenses. A geotechnical survey has determined the
suitability of the site for this industrial use.
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the
Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
The 1989 Old Harbor Comprehensive Plan states: "Future industrial development should be
located near the shoreline of old town where the best marine transportation access is located.
This includes the ocean dock area and the small boat harbor." (Page 86). The proposed
rezone is in conformance with this. It would also be consistent with the "mixed use"
designation contained in the land use plan in the Comprehensive Plan.
