Rural Development; and to adopt the findings contained in the
staff report dated April 12, 1993, as "Findings of Fact" for this
case.
1. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or
Amendment.
A rezone from C--Conservation to RD--Rural Development
is needed and justified because the RD--Rural
Development zoning district permits development that:
A. is consistent with the type of development that
private land owners increasingly want to develop in
remote areas of the Borough;
B. will not increase the nonconformity of any existing
uses or structures;
C. must be setback from marine and anadromous
waters unless the use developed is water -
dependent;
D. will result in a sensible and efficient use of coastal
lands;
E. allows for a balance of uses, due to the range of
uses permitted, which will not favor short run
gains at the expense of long-term benefits, and;
F. will be coordinated with all applicable State and
federal agencies, to the appropriate extent, when
new development occurs.
2. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would
have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan
A change of zoning from C--Conservation to RD--Rural
Development on Tract A-1, U.S. Survey 3879, a 10.2 acre
tract located near Village Islands, Uganik Bay, is
generally consistent with the applicable policies of the
Kodiak Island Borough Coastal Management Program.
The KIBCMP is an adopted component of the Kodiak
Island Borough's comprehensive plan. The tract is
located in the area designated for Development with
Restrictions. A conditional use permit is required prior
to commercial development of a nonconforming lot in the
RD--Rural Development zone. This will allow the
placement of stipulations on future approvals subject to
Planning and Zoning Commission review. Such review
will insure consistency with the policies of the Kodiak
Island Borough Coastal Management Plan.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll
call vote.
B) Case 93-023. Request for a rezone, according to Section
17.72.030C (Manner of Initiation) of the Borough Code, of Tract

F. will be coordinated with all applicable State and
federal agencies, to the appropriate extent, when
new development occurs.
2. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would
have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
A change of zoning from C--Conservation to RD--Rural
Development on U.S. Survey 1914, a 5.81 acre tract
located along the northern shore of Zachar Bay, is
generally consistent with the applicable policies of the
Kodiak Island Borough Coastal Management Program.
The KIBCMP is an adopted component of the Kodiak
Island Borough's comprehensive plan. The tract is
located in the area designated for Development with
Restrictions. A conditional use permit is required prior
to commercial development of a nonconforming lot in the
RD--Rural Development zone. This will allow the
placement of stipulations on future approvals subject to
Planning and Zoning Commission review. Such review
will insure consistency with the policies of the Kodiak
Island Borough Coastal Management Plan.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll
call vote.
J) Case 93-031. Request for a rezone, according to Section
17.72.030C (Manner of Initiation) of the Borough Code, of a
portion of U.S. Survey 2735, Middle Bay, from B--Business to
RR1--Rural Residential One. 22077 Chiniak Highway.
DUANE DVORAK indicated 9 public hearing notices were
mailed for this case and none were returned. Staff
recommended forwarding this request to the Borough
Assembly with a recommendation of approval.
Regular Session Closed.
Public Hearing Opened:
Jay Johnston, applicant, appeared before the Commission to
answer questions and to express support for this request.
Public Hearing Closed.
Regular Session Opened.
COMMISSIONER BONNEY MOVED TO FORWARD the rezone
of a portion of U.S. Survey 2735, Middle Bay, comprising 1.15
KIBS227890
P & Z Minutes: April 21, 199fd Page 15 of 25
acres, from B--Business to RR1--Rural Residential One, to the
Borough Assembly with a recommendation for approval.
1. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a change or
Amendment.
The rezone of a Portion of U.S. Survey 2735, comprising
1.15 acres, from B--Business to RR1--Rural Residential
One is necessary and justified because the RR1--Rural
Residential One zoning district permits development
that:
A. is consistent with other residential developments in
the surrounding area.
B. will not create any nonconforming land uses when
the applicant completes the conversion of the one
existing structure to residential use.
C. will reduce the potential traffic that could be
generated on the Chiniak Road.
2. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would
have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
A change of zoning from B--Business to RR1--Rural
Residential One, on a Portion of U.S. Survey 2735 is not
addressed in the 1968 Kodiak Island Borough
Comprehensive Plan. This request was evaluated under
the enforceable policies of the Kodiak Island Borough
Coastal Management Program and found to be "not
applicable" for the most part.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll
call vote.
K) Case 93-032. Request for a rezone, according to Section
17.72.030C (Manner of Initiation) of the Borough Code, of
Tracts A5, A6, B, E, and F, Unit 5, Kadiak Alaska Subdivision,
from R-2--Two Family Residential to R-3--Multi Family
Residential. 2956 - 3100 Woody Way Loop.
DUANE DVORAK indicated 57 public hearing notices were
mailed for this case and 1 was returned, opposing this request.
Staff recommended forwarding this request to the Borough
Assembly with a recommendation of approval.
Regular Session Closed.
Public Hearing Opened:
Jay Johnston, applicant, appeared before the Commission to
answer questions and to express support for this request.
There was discussion between the Commissioners and Mr.
Johnston concerning the proposed use of Tract A5 if it were
zoned R2 versus being zoned R3. Mr. Johnston stated that if
the zoning remained R2, he would proceed with his pending
subdivision plan, and eventually build 5 duplexes on the tract.
If it were rezoned to R3, he would pursue prior discussions with
KIBS227891
P & Z Minutes: April 21, 1990 Page 16 of 25
Kodiak Island Housing Authority about the possibility of them
purchasing the tract from him for the purpose of building a
Senior Citizens housing unit on the tract.
Karen King, Executive Director of the Kodiak Island Housing
Authority, appeared before the Commission to answer
questions concerning the Housing Autority's existing housing
complex, the exception under which they were operating on
Tracts B and E, and to express support for this rezone request.
Public Hearing Closed.
Regular Session Opened.
COMMISSIONER FRIEND MOVED TO FORWARD this request
to the Borough Assembly with a recommendation to rezone
Tracts A-5, A-6A, A-613, B, E and F, Unit 5, Kadiak Alaska
Subdivision, from R-2--Two Family Residential to R-3--Multi
Family Residential, and to adopt the findings in the staff report
dated March 25, 1993 as "findings of fact" for this case.
1. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a change or
Amendment.
The rezone of Tracts A-5, A-6A, A-613, B, E and F, Unit
5, Kadiak Alaska Subdivision, from R-2--Two Family
Residential to R-3--Multi Family Residential is necessary
and justified because the R3--Multifamily Residential
zoning district permits development that:
A. is consistent with the development already existing
on the overall site and specifically consistent with
the multifamily residential development that was
developed as a result of Exception Z-81-010.
B. will not create any nonconforming land uses in the
area identified for rezone.
C. will not generate a substantial increase in vehicular
traffic or interfere with vehicle traffic on Woody
Way Loop.
D. will create a geographically distinct multifamily
residential zone bounded by right-of-ways,
drainages, physical berms and existing church
development that provides for a compact,
contiguous area surrounding the existing
multifamily residential development.
2. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would
have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan
A change of zoning from R2--Two-family Residential to
R3--Multifamily Residential for Tracts A-5, A-6A, A-613, B,
E, and F, Unit 5, Kadiak Alaska Subdivision is not
consistent with the objectives of the 1968 comprehensive
plan. Clearly this request should be reviewed, however,
in light of the 48 unit multifamily residential
development that now exists on Tracts B and E as a
result of Exception Z-81-010 which was previously
P & Z Minutes: April 21, 199* KIBS227992 Page 17 of 25
granted by the Borough Assembly. In addition, the plan
did not take into account the existing Rezanof Drive
access which, according to the plan maps, was not
anticipated to serve this area in the way that it presently
does.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by a roll call vote of
5-1. COMMISSIONER BONNEY voted no.
L) Case 93-033. Planning and Zoning Commission review and
finding, according to Section 17.03.090 B (Similar Uses) of the
Borough Code, that a non -medical detoxification facility is a
similar use to a conditionally permitted use of land in the B--
Business Zoning District (hospitals), and
A conditional use permit, according to Section 17.21.030B
(Conditional Uses) of the Borough Code, to permit a non-
medical detoxification facility to operate in the B--Business
Zoning District. Lots 6 & 10, Block 14, New Kodiak
Subdivision, 115 Upper Mill Bay Road.
DUANE DVORAK indicated 34 public hearing notices were
mailed for this case and 2 were returned, 1 opposing and 1
stating non -objection to this request. Staff recommended
approval of this request, subject to conditions.
Regular Session Closed.
Public Hearing Opened:
Thomas Goldston, Executive Director of the Kodiak Council on
Alcoholism, appeared before the Commission and expressed
support for this request.
Wally Johnson, neighboring property owner, appeared before
the Commission and expressed support for this request.
Public Hearing Closed.
Regular Session Opened.
COMMISSIONER ASPGREN MOVED TO FIND find that a non-
medical detoxification facility is similar in character and
impact to a conditionally permitted hospital use in the B--
Business Zoning District, and to adopt the finding contained in
the staff report dated March 31, 1993 as a "Finding of Fact" for
this case.
FINDING OF FACT - SIMILAR USE
1. A non -medical detoxification facility is similar in
character and of less impact than a hospital use. The
detoxification facility will not treat all segments of
community and will see less traffic than a medical
hospital. The present structure will not be changed by
the proposed use and currently meets all applicable
zoning requirements.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll
call vote.
KIBS227893
P & Z Minutes: April 21, 19913 Page 18 of 25
COMMISSIONER ASPGREN MOVED TO GRANT a request for
a conditional use permit in accordance with Section
17.21.030B (Conditional Uses) of the Borough Code to permit a
non medical detoxification facility to locate on Lots 6 and 10,
Block 14, New Kodiak Subdivision, and to adopt the findings
contained in the staff report dated March 31, 1993, as
"Findings of Fact" for this case.
FINDINGS OF FACT - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
1. That the conditional use will preserve the value spirit
character and integrity of the surrounding area.
Clients of the detoxification facility will normally be
transported to and from the facility by public safety
personnel. Adequate alarm systems and other means
will be use to monitor clients to insure that they cannot
discharge themselves until the staff has determined that
they are sufficiently detoxified. Clients will not be
permitted to enter the detoxification program under any
circumstances until they have been evaluated by
competent medical authority.
The facility has been in operation for a year with no
significant complaints specifically regarding the
detoxification program. The Commission can attach
reasonable conditions of approval to this request in order
to address any concerns the public may have.
2. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of
this chapter pertaining to the conditional use in Question
The property under review is the site of professional
offices, a clinic and transitional care home, in addition to
the existing detoxification facility. These uses are
consistent with the general purposes and intent of Title
17, and in fact comply with the specific zoning standards
required for development in a B--Business zoning district.
The proposed conditional use is complimentary to the
existing programs, staff and facilities already located on
the site. The detoxification program can share non
medical counselors and other staff that maintain offices
and do counseling on site for other KCA clients.
3. That granting the conditional use permit will not be
harmful to the public health, safety convenience and
comfort.
Granting a conditional use permit for a voluntary non
medical detoxification facility will not endanger the
public's health, safety or general welfare. Intoxicated
individuals will be held at this facility on a voluntary
basis, only after they have been examined by a physician
and determined to be no danger to themselves or to
others. Intoxicated individuals who do not meet this
criteria will not be entered into the detoxification facility
and will be referred to alternative services that are
appropriate. In most cases they will either stay at the
hospital for medically supervised detoxification or if
P & Z Minutes: April 21, 199t3 KIBS227894 Page 19 of 25
medical supervision is not required, placed in protective
custody at the local jail. The KCA staff will monitor the
individuals in the detoxification facility and insure that
alarm systems are in place to notify staff if anyone tries
to discharge themselves before they are detoxified or
referred to another appropriate agency for detoxification.
4. The sufficient setbacks, lot area, buffers or other
safeguards are being provided to meet the conditions
listed in subsections A through C of this section
The structure presently meets all zoning requirements of
the B--Business zoning district. The only condition
placed on the previous approval for the detoxification
facility was a condition of temporary one (1) year
approval, subject to review prior to consideration of an
extension by the Planning and Zoning Commission. No
significant complaints have been documented for this site
relating to the operation of the voluntary non medical
detoxification facility during the last year. As a result, it
does not appear necessary to require buffers or
safeguards to this conditional use permit in addition to
the applicable performance standards already contained
in Title 17 (Zoning) of the Borough code.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll
call vote.
