WHEREAS, as a second-class borough, the Kodiak Island Borough exercises planning,
platting, and land use regulations on an area wide basis pursuant to A.S. Chapter 29.40; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with AS 29.40, the Kodiak Island Borough adopted the 2008
Comprehensive Plan update on December 6, 2007 (Ordinance No. FY2008-10) to replace the
1968 Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough has adopted KIBC Title 17 (Zoning) in accordance with
AS 29.40 to implement the Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, KIBC 17.205.010 provides that "Whenever the public necessity, convenience,
general welfare or good zoning practice requires, the assembly may, by ordinance and after report
thereon by the commission and public hearing as required by law, amend, supplement, modify,
repeal or otherwise change these regulations and the boundaries of the districts"; and
WHEREAS, the property owned applied for a rezone of this property from R2—Two-Family
Residential to UNC — Urban Neighborhood Commercial on July 7, 2020; and
WHEREAS, in the staff report dated 8/24/2020, staff recommended a change in the rezone
request from UNC - Urban Neighborhood Commercial to B—Business, and the applicant agreed;
and
WHEREAS, staff finds that while the request is not consistent with the future residential land
used designation presented in the 2008 KIB Comprehensive Plan, it is consistent with the future
commercial/business land use designation trend along the commercial corridor that runs the
length of Mill Bay Road from the West Rezanof Intersection to the East Rezanof Intersection and
with the goals and objectives of the 2008 KIB Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, at an advertised public hearing, consistent with KIBC 17.205.040, the Planning
and Zoning Commission considered the merits of the rezone request on September 16, 2020;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning & Zoning Commission voted to recommend to the Borough Assembly
that the lots be rezoned from R2—Two-Family Residential to B—Business, finding that the public
necessity, convenience, general welfare, and good zoning practice would be enhanced by such
