Heather Kimball, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii January 18, 2023 Page 2 owners and the remaining three lots will be owned by the applicants as part of their plan of distribution. The applicants anticipate the Change of Zone process to take approximately six months and the subsequent subdivision process to take another six months. The applicants expect costs of both processes to include consultant and attorney's fees and costs, filing and application fees, surveyor's expenses, installation of water infrastructure, and other incidentals. 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-3 acre (A-3a) 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, 3.1285-acre property is mostly rectangular in shape with a narrowed rectangular segment on the southern portion of property, located at 862 West Kawailani Street, and contains five structures. The existing permitted one-bedroom residential dwelling was completed in 1973 and remains occupied, along with a permitted open carport which was built in 1991. There are also two other garages and a frame utility shed on the property. The garages were built in 1955 and 1992. The utility shed was built in 1992. The property has been held by four generations of the applicants' family since the 1900s. Surrounding lands to the north, northwest, and south are zoned Agricultural 3- acre (A-3a) and each contain dwellings. West of the subject property is an undeveloped 6-acre parcel zoned Single-Family Residential 10000-square feet (RS-10). To the east there is a Department of Water Supply water tank facility and a residential subdivision zoned Single-Family Residential 15,000-square feet(RS-15). According to the Zoning Code, the Single-Family Residential (RS) 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. Thus, the proposed five lot subdivision with lots ranging in size from 20,080 to 45,363 square feet is consistent with the proposed zoning and surrounding land use pattern.
