Dr. Holeka Goro Inaba, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii June 20, 2025 Page 3 The General Plan is intended to be used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the County. It sets forth goals, policies, standards, and courses of action to accommodate growth without congestion, to designate and preserve the lands needed for residential use, commercial and visitor services, industry, agriculture, and open space, and to coordinate these uses with the County's service and circulation systems. The overall goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. Land Use is one of the principal focal points of public concern and policy. The Land Use Element provides the primary basis for direct control and guidance of publicly and privately owned resources. The request conforms to the following goals and policies of the General Plan Land Use Element: ■ Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County. ■ Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation, district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access, and public need. ■ Achieve a broader diversification of local industries by providing opportunities for new industries and strengthening existing industries. ■ Appropriately zoned lands shall be allocated as the demand for multiple residential dwellings increases. These areas shall be allocated with respect to places of employment, shopping facilities, educational, recreational and cultural facilities, and public facilities and utilities. ■ Require developers to provide basic infrastructure necessary for development. 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 subject property is designated High Density Urban (hdu) by the LUPAG Map which includes uses such general commercial, multiple family residential and related services (multiple family residential - up to 87 units per acre). The proposed 24-unit apartment building will be consistent with the hdu designation.
