48 Section 3: The findings of the Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission
49 are hereby confirmed as follows:
50
51 17.205.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or
52 Amendment.
53
54 The land owners, City of Ouzinkie and the Ouzinkie Native Corporation, need this
55 rezone in order to redevelop the Ouzinkie water front dock area and related
56 tidelands. The site has historically been used for all manner of commercial and
57 water front industrial uses for many years. The structures and activities in this area
58 have until now been nonconforming and this requested change of zoning will provide
59 for the further redevelopment of new waterfront industrial structures and activities
60 that will meet the needs of and benefit the Ouzinkie community.
61
62 17.205.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have
63 on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
64 The Comprehensive Plan mentions the need and desire for economic diversity and
65 economic opportunity in the community. The comprehensive plan designates this
66 area for Mixed Use / Commercial /Waterfront/Residential. At the time the borough
67 does not have a "Mixed Use" zone so it is necessary to zone for the most intensive
68 uses and most appropriate uses that the site might be required to provide for. At the
69 present time this is the I- Industrial zone. The plan also speaks to the need to
70 maintain good two -way communication between the Kodiak Island Borough and the
71 City of Ouzinkie. This need also applies to the related native corporations and tribal
72 councils serving the community as well. The rezone will eliminate certain zoning
73 nonconformities that have pre- existed on the rezone site for many years and will
74 encourage the kind of re- development that is consistent with both past use and
75 planned future development.
76
77 17.205.020.C. Recommendations as to the approval or disapproval of the
78 change or amendment.
79
80 The commission recommends to the Borough Assembly approval of said rezoning of
81 this parcel subject to an effective clause making the rezone become effective upon
82 the filing of a final plat as approved in preliminary form under Case 611 -009.
