WHEREAS, at an advertised public hearing, consistent with Kodiak Island Borough Code
17.205.040, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered the merits of the rezone request;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend to the Borough
Assembly that Lot 4, Block 19, Tract A, Larsen Bay Subdivision be rezoned from R1 -Single -
Family Residential District to B -Business District, finding that the public necessity, convenience,
general welfare, and good zoning practice would be enhanced by such action; and
WHEREAS, at an advertised public hearing, consistent with Kodiak Island Borough Code
17.205.040, the Borough Assembly considered the merits of the rezone request.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH THAT:
Section 1: This ordinance is NOT of permanent nature and shall NOT become a part of the
Kodiak Island Borough Code of Ordinances.
Section 2: Lot 4, Block 19, Tract A, Larsen Bay Subdivision is hereby rezoned from R1 -Single -
Family Residential District to B -Business District.
Section 3: By this ordinance, the Borough Assembly adopts the following findings of fact in
support of their approval of this rezone.
1. The applicant desires to continue the use of an existing commercial lodge that has
operated on this R1 -Single -Family Residential zoned lot for 17 years. Lodges are not a
permitted use in R1 -Single -Family Residential zoning. Lodges are a permitted use in B -
Business zoning. Accordingly, the lot must be rezoned from R1 -Single -Family
Residential District to B -Business District to allow the commercial lodge operation to
continue.
2. The lot is situated within a mixed zoning area that includes R1 -Single -Family
Residential, B -Business, and C -Conservation zoning and uses. The rezone is consistent
with that mixed zoning.
3. The lot has adequately accommodated the existing lodge buildings and use for several
years and appears to be suitable for such use. The lot also appears capable of
accommodating a variety of other uses that are allowed in B -Business zoning.
4. The rezone is consistent with the Commercial Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Designation assigned to the lot. The rezone is also consistent with, and will further
implement, various land use and economic goals, policies, and implementation actions
identified in the adopted Comprehensive Plan.
