Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or Amendment.
Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Ordinance No. 94 -22
Page 1 of 2
A rezone from C-- Conservation to NU-- Natural Use Land is needed and justified
because the NU-- Natural Use Land zoning district:
A. Will better accomplish the specific intent of the Port Lions
Comprehensive Development Plan to preserve land within 100 feet on
both sides of the Port Lions River as a greenbelt;
B. Is consistent with the historical use of this area;
C. Is consistent with the Kodiak Island Borough Coastal Management Plan;
D. Will prohibit more intensive land uses permitted in the C -- Conservation
zoning district that are not compatible with the historical use and
greenbelt designation of the area.
2. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the
Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Port Lions Comprehensive Development Plan specifically designates this
area as a greenbelt to retain its natural character and provide for recreation.
This intent is more consistent with the description and intent of the NU-- Natural
Use Land zoning as stated in KIBC 17.12.010. A change of zoning from
C -- Conservation to the NU-- Natural Use Land zoning district is therefore
necessary to better achieve the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
SECTION 4: The official zoning map shall be updated to reflect this rezoning.
