17 72 020 A. Findings as to the NAM and Justification fnr a Change or Amendment.
A rezone from C- Conservation to LI -Light Industrial is needed and justified because
the LI -Light Industrial zoning district permits development that:
A. is consistent with current and proposed development trends in the area;
B. is suitable for this site, given the physical characteristics and location of
the tract;
C. will not create any nonconforming land uses;
D. is consistent with the Near Island Comprehensive Plan.
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Fffect a Change or Amendment would have on the
Ohjectives of the Comprehensive Plan_
A rezone of the area identified as and granted a CUP for a float plane facility in
Trident Basis is consistent with the intent and objectives of the Near Island
Comprehensive Plan. In the section described as "Description of Development
Categories and Allowable Land Use, the Near Island Comprehensive Development
Plan (1987) identifies a possible float plane facility to "...include docking and tie -down
areas, a shore -based haul out area for maintenance, and parking areas (p. 14). The
maps accompanying that plan specifically designate Trident Basin as the site for a
proposed floatplane facility and aerodrome. This intent dovetails with long- standing
Port of Kodiak harbor plans to eliminate the extremely dangerous situation of boats
and float plane traffic sharing the crowded St. Paul's Harbor Channel.
