NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH THAT:
Section 1: This ordinance is NOT of permanent nature and shall NOT become a part of the
Kodiak Island Borough Code of Ordinances.
Section 2: The 2008 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Designation of Lots 2, 3, and 4,
Block 3, Tract A, Larsen Bay Subdivision are hereby changed from Residential to Mixed
Commercial/Waterfront/Residential.
Section 3: By this ordinance, the Borough Assembly adopts the following findings of fact in
support of their approval of this rezone.
1. For the past 9 years, the subject parcels and associated structures have been used to
support the operation of a commercial lodge that has operated on adjacent R1 -Single -
Family Residential zoned Lot 1A for the past 19 years.
2. Lodges are not a permitted use in R1 -Single Family Residential zoning. Lodges are a
permitted use in B -Business zoning. B -Business zoning is not consistent with the
Residential Future Land Use Designation assigned to the lots.
3. To facilitate the rezone required to allow the parcels and associated structures to
continue to be used to support the longstanding adjacent commercial lodge operation,
the Future Land Use Designation of the lots must be changed to a designation that is
consistent with B -Business zoning.
4. The lots are situated among parcels that are assigned a mixture of Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Designations consisting of Residential, Commercial, Mixed
Commercial/Waterfront/Residential, and Conservation. The amendment is consistent
with that mixture of designations.
5. The lots have adequately accommodated the existing lodge buildings and use for
several years and appear to be suitable for such use. The amendment will facilitate a
rezone to B -Business that will allow the longstanding use to continue. The lots are also
of sufficient area to accommodate a variety of other commercial uses that would be
permitted by such a rezone.
6. The amendment is consistent with, and will further implement, various land use and
economic goals, policies, and implementation actions identified in the adopted
Comprehensive Plan.
7. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that the Borough Assembly approve
this 2008 Comprehensive Plan amendment.
Effective Date: This ordinance shall become effective upon the provision of a current as -built
survey and issuance of zoning compliance for all existing structures and established uses on
Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska
