N. - INSTITUTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS A. State Land Use • The subject property is designated Urban As such, no State Land Use Commission action is required. The County of Hawan can process the rezoning request B. County General Plan The County General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map, when properly scaled, designates the site Medium Density. Relative to the Medium Densely designation, the General Plan allows consideration for "Village and neighborhood commercial and residential and related functions (3-story commercial, residential - up to 35 ands per acre." As such, the requested CN zoning would be consistent with this designation, and no General Plan amendment is necessary. However, the site could be interpreted to be part of the High Densely area. Should the area be deemed High Density, then a General Commercial (CG-10) zoning would be equally appropriate ' And as noted earlier, the applicant would have no objection to a CG-10 zoning C. Hilo Community Development Plan The Community Development Plan (CDP) attempts to further define the General Plan and serves as a ug ide for decision- makers. It was adopted by the Planning Commission in 1975, over 25 years ago Although reviewed by the County Council, the CDP was never adopted The CDP's Land Use Concept map identifies a CG-7.5 designation for this area This designation suggests general commercial uses. As such, the CG-10 zoning would be consistent with the CDP Notwithstanding this consistency, however, it is acknowledged that the growth of Hdo and its outlying areas like Puna, have made some of the planning assumptions of the CDP obsolete An updated CDP would be timely Absent the avadabdity of a relevant intermediary planning document, one must rely only on the General Plan LUPAG map 3
