Section 4: The findings of fact of the Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning
Commission in recommending the approval of this rezone are hereby
confirmed as follows:
17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or Amendment.
A rezone from RR -1 Rural Residential One to C- Conservation is needed and justified
because the zoning district permits development that has, with five (5) acre lot
minimums, reduced density potential, especially residential, in an area with
unanswered questions regarding capacity of the low -lying land to meed ADEC criteria
for wastewater and sewage disposal; about verifiable sources of on -site potable water
to support one acre development; and about the nature and extent of former military
landfilling on the property.
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the
Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
This proposed rezone area is not identified in the 1968 Kodiak Island Borough
Comprehensive Plan.
