budgets for them. Instead, each project budget is developed when the project is
originated.

over and under original estimates, or funds remaining at project completion. The

B. Ordinance No, FY2022-08 Planning And Zoning Commission Case 22-006,
Approval Of Rezone Tract 1 & 2 Of Tract S -5a-1 U.S.S. 3218, 3467, 3469 From
Split I -Industrial And B -Business District To B -Business District.
ARNDT moved to rescind the motion to advance to the next regular in-person
meeting of the assembly, passed unanimously by the assembly on January 10,
2022.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, Turner,
Williams, Arndt, Delgado, Griffin, Smiley, and Smith.
ARNDT moved to advance Ordinance No. FY2022-08 to public hearing at the
next regular, in-person, meeting of the assembly on February 17, 2022, and
direct the clerk to advertise per KIB code section 2.30.070(B)(3).
The rezone of Commercial Tract 1 and 2, Tract S -5A-1, U.S.S. 3218, 3467, and
3469 would allow the applicant to develop commercial property that is consistent
with the development goals outlined in the 2008 Kodiak Island Borough
Comprehensive Plan.
The rezone would be an opportunity to implement an action identified in the land
use section of the 2008 comprehensive plan: Review existing zoning ordinances
with a focus on minimizing the number of zones where possible to mitigate
confusion. In addition, the revised 1997 and the original 1991 Lakeside/Safeway
Subarea Land Use Plan identified this area as best suited to Retail Business.
Both the 91' and 97' versions of the plan identify separating potentially conflicting
land uses as a key objective.
A significant conflict exists with these two zoning districts governing a single
parcel, 17.90.01013; C: To prohibit the use of business district lands for
manufacturing and industrial purposes; This is a valuable opportunity to
implement comprehensive and subarea plan actions. Community Development
staff recommends capitalizing on this opportunity.
A total of 419 public hearing notices were mailed out on November 18, 2021.
Only one public comment, in favor of the rezone, was returned by the December
16 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
WILLIAMS moved to amend the motion to advance the public hearing to the next
regular meeting of the Assembly on February 3.
