Section 1: This ordinance is not of general application and shall not be codified.
Section 2:
KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
ORDINANCE NO. 2001 -09
Lots 2A and 2B, of the southern half of U.S. Survey 2878 and an approximately 10
acre portion of the northern half of U.S. Survey 2878, are hereby rezoned from C-
Conservation to RNC -Rural Neighborhood Commercial.
Section 3: The rezone is subject to the following conditions of approval:
Introduced by: Manager Jensen
Requested by: Planning & Zoning
Commission
Drafted by: Community
Development Department
Introduced: 03/15/2001
Public Hearing: 04/05/2001
Adopted: 04/05/2001
1. This rezone will not be approved by the Assembly until the revisions to Chapter
17.22 of Borough Code which would: 1) increase the RNC -Rural Neighborhood
Commercial lot area minimum from 40,000 square feet to two acres and lot width
minimum from 120 feet to 180 feet, and 2) incorporate into the RNC zoning district
the performance standards of KIBC 17.21.050 for the B- Business zoning district
requiring screening, landscaping and buffering, where appropriate, replacing Code
Section 17.22.100 A.

2. The portion of the northerly half of U.S. Survey 2878 (Kalsin Bay Inn) intended to
be rezoned to RNC will be defined by survey description prior to Assembly approval
of the rezone.
Section 4: 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 a Change or Amendment.
A rezone from RR1 -Rural Residential One and R1- Single Family Residential to R3 -Multi Family
Residential is needed and justified because the R3 -Multi Family Residential zoning district permits
development that:
A. consistent with the historical use of restaurant /lounge /lodging (Kalsin Bay Inn) which has been
established on the northerly portion of U.S. Survey 2878 since the 1960's;
B. would eliminate the nonconforming ( "grandfathered ") use of The Kalsin Bay Inn by making it
conforming;
C. with adoption of recommended revisions to the RNC zoning district increasing the minimum
lot area and lot width required in the RNC zoning district, this rezone will be more suitable to
providing needed commercial zoning in this area.
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the Objectives of
the Comprehensive Plan.
While neither the KIB Comprehensive Plan nor any subarea element of that plan addresses Kalsin
Bay, a change of zoning from C- Conservation to the RNC Rural Neighborhood Commercial zoning
district is necessary because:
A. it is consistent with the planning concept of establishing commercial "nodes" at appropriate
intervals along the Chiniak Highway, which was adopted into the Chiniak Plan; and
B. it dovetails neatly with the goal stated in the Pasagshak /Narrow Cape Area Plan to discourage
commercial uses (in the Pasagshak /Narrow Cape Area) by directing commercial zoning to appropriate
locations in Kalsin Bay.
Section 5: This rezone shall become effective upon adoption, and the official zoning map shall
be updated to reflect this rezoning.
