Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission approves two rezonings and a subdivision for Old Harbor
Summary
At a April 23 special meeting the Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously adopted findings of fact approving two rezonings requested by the City of Old Harbor and approved the subdivision creating Tsunami Subdivision Lot 1. All motions passed by 7-0 votes.
The Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission on April 23 unanimously adopted findings of fact approving two rezones requested by the City of Old Harbor and approved a subdivision creating Tsunami Subdivision Lot 1.
The commission voted 7-0 to adopt findings for case 25-004, which requests rezoning a portion of US Survey 4793, Tract E, from R-1 (single-family residential) to I (industrial). The motion notes the zoning change will correspond with a lot created by abbreviated subdivision case S25-007. The commission also voted 7-0 to adopt findings for case 25-005 to rezone a portion of the same tract from R-1 to B (business); that zoning is tied to lots created by preliminary subdivision case S25-006. Finally, the commission voted 7-0 to adopt the findings of fact and conditions of approval for subdivision case S25-006, which creates Tsunami Subdivision Lot 1, as described in the staff report dated April 11, 2025.
No members of the public offered comments during the citizen comment period. Commissioners who had not attended the prior public hearing on the matters stated on the record that they had reviewed the earlier meeting—one said they listened to the audio and another said they watched the video—before casting votes. The meeting record shows each approval was taken by roll call with the recorded outcome “motion passes 7-0.”
The staff report dated April 11, 2025, provided the findings of fact and, in the case of S25-006, conditions of approval. The votes authorizing the rezonings reference related subdivision cases (S25-006 and S25-007) so the zoning changes will align with newly created lots once those subdivision processes are completed.
These actions change the official district classification of the listed portions of US Survey 4793, Tract E, and establish at least one new lot in the Tsunami Subdivision. The commission adjourned at 3:06 p.m.
Meeting details: the special session convened at 3:00 p.m. in the Borough Assembly Chambers; citizen comments were solicited with local and toll-free phone numbers but no callers participated.
