17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or Amendment.
A rezone from B- Business to R1 Single- family Residential is needed and justified
because the R1 zoning district permits residential development that:
A. is consistent with the Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan;
B. is consistent with the existing use of these five lots as single - family residences,
thereby eliminating five nonconforming uses;
C. is better suited to road design capacity and safety, having less traffic demands
than commercial uses;
D. is better suited to the size and location of the lots to meet parking, access and
circulation requirements; and
E. will advance and facilitate residential use of existing homes by affording home
owners structural expansion options not available to nonconforming residential
uses on small B- Business lots.
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the
Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
A change of zoning from the B- Business to R1 Single- family Residential zoning district
is necessary to be consistent with the medium density residential designation of the
Comprehensive Plan, thereby eliminating five nonconforming uses and potentially
reducing traffic problems along one of the busiest arterial in Kodiak.
