STATE & COUNTY PLANS 20. SLU: Urban. 21. General Plan Consistency: Economic, Recreation and Land Use elements goals, policies. and courses of action for North Kona. 22. GP LUPAG MAP: The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map currently designates the subject properly for Industrial uses. Industrial areas include uses such as manufacturing and processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities, and light industrial uses. It should be noted that the General Plan states that the Zoning Code can be amended to create mixed use zones and that such mixed use zones are appropriate in areas of economic transition, such as light industrial areas which are in demand as sites for commercial uses. Given the language contained in the General Plan, the gradual transformation of the adjacent Kona Industrial Subdivision to an area of mixed industrial and commercial uses, and the proximity of the project area to KIS, the proposed project is consistent with the current LUPAG designation. Furthermore, according to the County's General Plan Preliminary Draft dated September 1, 2000, the subject area is proposed to be designated for IndustriaUCommercial uses. Also, the Draft states that "Industrial-commercial mixed use districts shall be provided in appropriate locations" in the North Kona district. It should be noted, however, that the General Plan Preliminary Draft has not yet been approved and that the proposed LUPAG revision for the project area is subject to change. 23. ~-Iavvaii State Plan Consistency: Economy, Physical environment, Land and Air Quality, Facility systems for Solid and Liquid Wastes, Water, Socio-cultural advancement (Leisure) objectives and policies. 24.
