Leaving the property in its current state would not maximize the use <br /> of the land. The land could be subdivided into 60+ lots, but with its <br /> high infrastructure cost, the desired affordable housing price would <br /> be difficult to reach. <br /> While alternative residential densities — such as multiple-family <br /> and/or lower density single-family residential subdivision - are <br /> possible, the multiple family density would be incongruous with the <br /> surrounding single-family residential pattern. <br /> In that regard, the proposed project would be consistent with the <br /> land use objectives sought to be accomplished by the County <br /> General Plan LUPAG map and the Hamakua CDP. <br /> In view of the aforementioned, it would appear that none of the <br /> alternatives would be more prudent and beneficial than the <br /> requested RS-15 downzoning alternative. <br /> The residential uses would support the development of the town of <br /> Honoka'a, as the site is proximate to commercial, residential, and <br /> public uses. Equally important, it would provide direct and indirect <br /> affordable housing opportunities. <br /> 28 <br />
