A. CASE 19-011. Request an ordinance of the Kodiak Island Borough amending KIBC
17.205 (Amendments and Changes) to incorporate procedures for changing the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Designation for approved rezones that are not
consistent with the assigned Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Designation
(KIBC17.205). The applicant is the Kodiak Island Borough. The location is borough -wide,
and the zoning varies.
COMMISSIONER ALTENHOF MOVED to recommend that the Assembly of the Kodiak Island
Borough approve the ordinance amending Chapter 17.205 (Amendments and Changes) to
incorporate procedures for changing the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Designation for
approved rezones that are not consistent with the assigned Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Designation, and adopt the findings of fact in the supplemental staff report dated November
8, 2018 entered into the record for this case as "Findings of Fact" for Case No. 19-011.

FINDINGS OF FACT
1. A rezone of a parcel or parcels that is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Designation (FLUD) assigned to the subject parcel or parcels may be approved if
the rezone is consistent with, and further implements, a sufficient number of Comprehensive
Plan goals, policies, and implementation actions.
2. When such rezone requests have been approved, the FLUD has correspondingly been
changed to a designation that is consistent with the new zoning.
3. Title 17 (Zoning) of the Kodiak Island Borough Code provides no specific process for changing
the FLUD when such rezones are approved.
4. The rezone procedures listed in KIBC 17.205 (Amendments and Changes) have historically
been used to process such FLUD changes as a separate request that proceeded the
corresponding rezone request. That procedure resulted in a duplicate process that created
unnecessary administrative burdens for the applicant, staff, Planning and Zoning
Commission, and Borough Assembly.
5. These amendments to KIBC 17.205 (Amendments and Changes) incorporate specific
procedures that eliminate those administrative burdens by automatically changing the FLUD
of a parcel or parcels to a designation that is consistent with an approved corresponding
rezone of the parcel or parcels.
6. This ordinance is consistent with, and will further implement, certain land use goals and
implementation actions identified in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan.
7. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that the Borough Assembly approve this
ordinance.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED 4-0.

STAFF COMMENTS
Maker said goodbye to the outgoing chair and he told COMMISSIONER ALTENHOF that he will
be the chair for the remainder of the year. He also pointed out that we have vacancies if anyone
has any interest. Also, a couple of our sitting commissioner's terms are up this year and if you
plan to re -apply he would recommend you do that as soon as possible so we can get you on a
meeting so there is no overlap. We could very well find ourselves in dire straits and short on
commissioners.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
Maria Painter congratulated Scott Arndt on his seat on the assembly. It's been a great five years
with you.
Scott Arndt said that he enjoyed his time on the commission. When he started five years ago, it
was very contentious and dealing with the code rewrite, which was a mess, we ended up in the
largest meeting ever held, which had to be held in the auditorium, that was his first meeting as
chair. It's been enjoyable and he's hoping to help clarify some things at the assembly level that
have got messed up in the past. Arndt thanked everyone for all their support, it's been a pleasure
working with everyone.
ADJOURNMENT
COMMISSIONER HATCH MOVED to adjourn the meeting.
