DocuSign Envelope ID:BF50FBFB-9AD1-4921-83DB-79CF926F6D75 Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii March 24, 2022 Page 2 immediately after approval of the rezone request. The applicant anticipates having the property subdivided by the end of 2022 and estimates that the cost of the project to be minimal as access and utilities to the property have been long established for two (2) dwellings on the property. In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals,policies, and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. The change of zone request from an Agricultural-1 acre (A-1a) zoning district to a Single-Family Residential-15,000 square feet(RS-15) zoning district conforms to applicable goals,policies, and standards of the General Plan. The subject, 3 3,73 8 square foot property is trapezoidal in shape, and slopes slightly from east to west. The subject property is currently improved with two (2) dwellings, one (1) on each CPR unit. CPR 0001 is 18,237 square feet in size and is improved with a 2,901 square foot dwelling that was built in 1963. CPR 0002 is 15,501 square feet in size and is improved with a 2,479 square foot dwelling permitted as an `Ohara Dwelling in 1988 and constructed in 1988. Each dwelling and related improvement is served by its own driveway from Lihipali Road. The parcels immediately to the east, south and west of the subject property are similarly zoned Agricultural 1-Acre (A-1 a) and are similarly of non-conforming sizes and primarily in residential use. Properties to the north are zoned Agricultural (A-400x) and used for cattle grazing. 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-15 zoning conforms to the LUPAG Map that designates the subject property as Low Density Urban(ldu), which allows for residential uses, with ancillary community and public uses as well as neighborhood and convenience-type commercial uses. The overall residential density may be up to six(6) units per acre. Additionally, there have been similar rezone requests approved in the vicinity of the subject property. Based on the preceding,proposed RS-15 zoning would effectuate an increase in density that would be consistent with the idu LUPAG designation and the land use pattern of the surrounding area.
