Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Ilawai`i September 21, 2022 Page 2 of Final Subdivision Approval. A copy of the recorded document shall be filed with the Planning Department upon its receipt from the Bureau of Conveyances." Condition S (Fair Share): The Commission voted to adopt the applicant's proposed changes to Condition S to add the following sentence to the end of the condition: "The cash value to implement the off-site road improvement requirement outlined in Condition II shall be credited against the road and traffic improvements assessment." The conditions in the draft bill attached to this letter reflect the Commission's changes discussed above. The.

Thus, then resulting in the reconfigured lots falling below 2 acres in size and necessitating the requested rezoning to FA-1 a. 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.
