17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or Amendment.
A rezone from RR1 -Rural Residential One to C- Conservation is needed and justified
because the C- Conservation zoning district permits development that:
A. is consistent with the Chiniak Comprehensive Plan, since single - family residential
is a permitted use in the C- Conservation zoning district, while at the same time
maintaining the rural nature of the area by guaranteeing large lots (in this case, five
acre minimum) that have the capability of onsite waste water disposal and water
supply systems as specifically recommended by the Chiniak Comprehensive Plan.
B. the tract proposed for rezone to C- Conservation is adjacent to existing Conservation
zoning, and a rezone would not create any non - conformities.
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 RR1 -Rural Residential One to the C- Conservation zoning district,
since the lot area minimum would essentially increase from approximately one acre to five
acres, would have the effect of maintaining the large -lot rural character of the area as
recommended by the Chiniak Comprehensive Plan. The Chiniak Comprehensive Plan
designates this area residential, and single - family residential is a principal permitted use
in the C- Conservation zoning district. A rezone to would also be consistent Chiniak
Comprehensive Plan since specific intentions of the C- Conservation zoning district are to
encourage the use of land for single - family residential (KIBC 17.13.010.A) and to
encourage the continued use of land for open space areas (KIBC 17.13.010.B).
