Lands to NU- Natural Use.
Section 3: The findings of fact of the Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning
Commission in recommending approval of this rezone are hereby
confirmed as follows:
17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for the Change or Amendment
This rezoning is needed and justified as it is the primary method of ensuring that the
adopted comprehensive plan(s) is implemented. Should the rezoning not be approved,
the area could develop in a way that is inherently inconsistent with the plan(s).
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect the Change Will Have on the Objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan
The recommended rezone is consistent with the "Kodiak Year 2000 Land Use Plan"
contained in the adopted 1968 comprehensive plan, which is applicable to this area;
as well as the objectives of the Lakeside Subdivision /Safeway Subarea Plan, as
recently recommended for revision.
