Section 3:
A portion of Tract E, U.S. Survey 4793, described as OH- LEASE -1 is hereby
rezoned from R1- Single Family Residential to B- Business.
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.
This tract is located near an emerging residential area in New Town, midway between the
dock and boat harbor and the new airport. This is the site of an existing auto repair /service
station on a City lease tract. The City has determined that this is a suitable site for dispensing
fuel, offering maximum flexibility when considering possible future gas station sites and /or
management options. That should reasonably serve as a guiding principle in local land use
decisions. This rezone could also serve and the first step in an expanded, more

comprehensive rezone to an appropriate commercial /service zoning district in an area that
has seen the emergence of other business on City lease tracts in recent years.
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the
Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
Rezoning to B- Business would be consistent with the 1989 Old Harbor Comprehensive Plan
designation of mixed use for this area.
