35
36 Section 2: A Portion of Tract 6, USS 5509, as may be fixed by survey at the

47 The City of Port Lions needs to develop a sewage sludge lagoon in order to comply with

51 existing community landfill which appears to be the most appropriate location for the
52 community which must balance transport distances and availability of land suitable for
53 the purpose.
54
55 17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would
56 have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
57
58 The 2008 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan Update and the 1997 Port Lions
59 Comprehensive Community Plan both indicate this area should be developed for
60 residential purposes. This site is located adjacent to the existing solid waste landfill
61 which is designated for Public Use so that in this context the rezone appears to be
62 logical expansion of this designated site for a closely related land use. The overall
63 pattern of the plan map is not substantially altered as a result of this change. It should
64 also be noted that although the surrounding site has historically been designated for
65 residential use, this area has in fact served a needed buffer area around these
66 industrial/utility land uses.
