"The establishment of urban-type zoning may include additional <br /> acreages to account for acreages utilized for public benefit, such <br /> as historic sites, public access and parks. <br /> Based on the above, the LUPAG map was never designed to be <br /> specifically measurable. It is intended to depict- broad-brush <br /> boundaries" and represents long-range guides to general location. <br /> True to its description - Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide -, the map <br /> is intended to serve as a "guide'' and not be applied in the same way <br /> as a zoning map, where its deviation would necessitate an <br /> amendment. if the LUPAG map were to be applied and used in the <br /> same way as a zoning map, it would not be possible for many <br /> previously-approved Special Permits— such repair facility <br /> or visitor accommodation facilities like a bed and breakfast or inn - to <br /> be approved in areas interpreted to be in the Extensive Agricultural, <br /> Orchard, or Intensive Agriculture Land category. <br /> The point here is that the GP is basically a policy document and the <br /> LUPAG map is a corollary guide that helps with the evaluation of a <br /> land use request relative to these policies. In the end, a case must be <br /> made to demonstrate how a request addresses the policies of the GP <br /> and not necessarily the LUPAG map. <br /> The other point is that the Applicants, in a discussion with one of the <br /> Department's staff was informed that the FA-2a request would be <br /> consistent with the LUPAG map. This is an understandable <br /> interpretation, given the foregoing discussion. <br /> Based on the requested Family-Agriculture (FA-2a) designation, it is <br /> maintained that the project would be consistent with the General Plan <br /> LUPAG map, and no amendment to the map is needed. <br /> C. Hamakua Community Development Plan ("HCDP") <br /> Relative to the CDP, Section 15.1 of the County General Plan called <br /> for the development and eventual County Council adoption of <br /> Community Development Plans. The General Plan states that the <br /> CDP "will translate the broad General Plan statements-to specific <br /> -actions as they apply to specific geographical areas." The General <br /> Plan also notes that should the CDP require a General Plan <br /> amendment, it could be considered concurrent with the adoption of the <br /> CDP. However, "if there is a direct conflict between the Community <br /> Development Plan and the General Plan, the General Plan shall be <br /> controlling." <br /> 5 <br />
