43 The borough needs to maintain some or all of the remainder of the Kodiak Island

45 mitigate the day-to-day impacts of landfill activities and commercial activities on Lot
46 1, Sawmill Subdivision from effecting residential properties in the general area.

47 The borough land surrounding the current Industrial zoned landfill site also
48 provides for some recreational use at the present time and this potential could be
49 further realized if this area and Lot 2, Sawmill Subdivision were properly zoned and
50 managed for recreation purposes.
51
52 17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment
53 would have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
54 A rezone of the subject parcel would be generally consistent with objectives of the
55 2008 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan Update. A rezone of the subject
56 parcel would work to implement the Comprehensive Plan.
57
58 17.205.020 C. Recommendations as to the approval or
59 disapproval of the change or amendment.
60 The Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission recommends
