Section 5: The official zoning map shall be updated to reflect this rezone.
Section 6: 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 I- Industrial to B- Business is needed and justified because the zoning
district permits development:
A. that is consistent with the emerging commercial /retail character that has evolved
in the immediate area in recent years. Retail and service uses permitted in the B-
Business zoning district will be well suited to established uses including the Safeway
store, fast food restaurants, a service station, a bank, and an office building.
B. that is less intensive in the range of permitted and conditional uses, thereby
reducing potential land use conflicts with established nearby residential uses in
Shahafka Acres and Holland Acres.
C. that will create one nonconforming use, the existing batch plant adjacent to an
established residential neighborhood. However, the rezone will preclude any future
expansion of this industrial activity and will likely be a first step in its relocation to a
more suitable industrial area further from residential neighborhoods.
D. that will, in conjunction with the companion subdivision, clean up the existing split
lot zoning on these tracts.
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the
Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
An area immediately adjacent to the subject property was specifically designated for
shopping center development in the 1968 KIB Comprehensive Plan, which emphasized
the desirability of providing as compact a business area as possible. Also noted in the
Comprehensive Plan was the fact that outlying shopping areas need to be located at
the confluence of major through traffic routes and that this intersection of main roads
was particularly suitable (pages 36 -37).
A change of zoning from I- Industrial to the B- Business zoning district is necessary not
only because it is consistent with the original Comprehensive Plan designation of
shopping center for this area, but also because it will bring the zoning into
conformance with this emerging retail /commercial character of the area. It is also
consistent with the designation of adjacent tracts within the Lakeside Subdivision as
Retail Business, which was confirmed in the adoption of the revised Lakeside /Safeway
Subarea Plan in September of 1997.
