NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH THAT:
Section 1: This ordinance is not of general application and shall not be codified.
Section 2: Proposed Lots 2, 3, & 4, Shoreline Subdivision (within U.S. Survey 3462)
will be rezoned from R3- Multi- family Residential to R1- Single Family

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.

development that:
A. The potential higher density allowed by the current R3- Multi- family
Residential Zoning District should the existing tract be developed without replat and
rezone is not only inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, but could severely
overtax the existing gravel access road within the narrow platted easement.
B. The combination rezone /subdivision proposed offers a balance that
significantly reduces potential density and, correspondingly, vehicle demand on the
road, while alleviating potential traffic safety issues at the intersection with the
highway in the process. This balance allows the subdivider to develop his property in
a reasonable manner, while at the same time protecting the public welfare and the
interests of the Borough.
C. The property is vacant, and therefore no nonconforming uses would be
created by a rezone to R1.
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 R3 to the R1 zoning district is necessary because R1 zoning
is more consistent than the current R3 zoning with the 1968 Comprehensive Plan,
which depicts this area as medium density residential. Medium density residential is
generally designated in the Comprehensive Plan for single - family residential and
duplexes on lots served by public sewer and water (P. 42).
