Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`i Page 6 of 11 of residences. There is a Neighborhood Commercial (CN-20) property situated across Mamalahoa Highway to the east (mauka) of subject property, which is the site of the Matsuyama Food Mart. The RS (Single-Family Residential) zoning district provides for lower or low and medium density residential use, for urban and suburban family life. It applies to areas having adequate facilities to carry out the above stated purpose. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non-urban form for areas within the County. The proposed RS-22 zoning conforms to the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map which designates the subject property as Low Density Urban (LDU). According to the General Plan, the LDU designation allows for. residential (with ancillary community and public uses), and neighborhood and convenience-type commercial uses; overall residential density may be up to six units per acre. Based on the preceding, proposed RS-22 zoning would effectuate an increase in single-family residential density that would be consistent with the LDU LUPAG designations. Although `ohana dwellings are permitted in the County's RS zoned district, a condition will be included to incorporate restrictive covenants in the deed of all lots to prohibit `ohana dwellings on the lots to ensure that the infrastructure of the area is not overwhelmed by the additional residential density. In addition, the proposed RS-22 zoning is consistent with the following Land Use goals, policies, and standards of the General Plan: • Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural, and physical environments of the County. • Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County. • Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation, district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access, and public need. • Designate and allocate single-family residential zoned lands at varying densities for future use in accordance with the needs of the communities and the stated goals,policies, and standards.
