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: Tract A -1 A, Tract A -1 B, Tract A -1 C, Tract A -1 D -1, Tract A -1 D -2, and Tract B of U. S. Survey 1671 are hereby rezoned From RR1 -Rural Residential One To C- Conservation. Section 3: The findings of the Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission are hereby confirmed as follows: 17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for this 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 appropriate, in most cases, for remote properties off the Kodiak road system; and the C- Conservation zoning district, with a five (5) acre Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Ordinance No. 2000 -12 Page 1 of 2 B. 17.72.020 B. Findings as to the effect this Change or Amendment will have on the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan A change in the zoning, of these tracts, from RR1 - Rural Residential One to C - Conservation is consistent with the objectives of the comprehensive plan. The C - Conservation zoning district, with its five (5) acre minimum lot size, is more appropriate for remote parcel development, including lodges which are prohibited in the RR1 - Rural Residential One zoning district. Section 4: This rezone shall become effective upon adoption, and the official zoning map shall be updated to reflect this rezoning. ADOPTED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH THIS 17TH DAY OF AUGUST, 2000 ATTEST: 1 d i .a.d -ek.( , th A. Nielsen , Borough Clerk Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska minimum lot size, was originally established for remote areas of the Borough. Is suited specifically to this area, which is characterized by a remote location and steep topography. This property is actually much better suited to C- Conservation zoning than it is to the existing RR1 - Rural Residential One zoning. The RR1 - Rural Residential One zoned subdivision nearby (Sunny Cove Subdivision, Plat 81 -2) has not seen significant development in its nearly twenty (20) years of existence, in part due to its remoteness, and in part due to an Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) requirement for engineered septic systems, for the one acre lots in the subdivision. In addition, there are not adequately improved roads in the area to meet access standards for Tots zoned RR1 - Rural Residential One. Ordinance No. 2000 -12 Page 2 of 2
