A rezone from R1- Single- family Residential to W- Watershed is needed and justified
because the W- Watershed zoning district permits development that:
A. will protect and regulate the Akhiok municipal water supply to ensure
maintenance of good water quality and supply; and
B. will prohibit all other land uses not compatible with the maintenance of
the municipal watershed.
