Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 The applicant is requesting a change of zone from Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX-20) to construct an approximately 6,000 square-foot two-story building to be used as a dental clinic. The first floor will consist of approximately 3,500 square feet to be used for patient care, and the second floor, consisting of approximately 2,500 square feet, will be used for support services. Proposed are 32 parking stalls, including a handicapped-accessible stall. Preliminary plans indicate a setback of approximately 60 feet from Lanikaula Street, a 38- foot setback along the eastern property boundary, and 23-foot setback along the western boundary of the site. The height of the two story structure will not exceed 25 feet. Also proposed is a 3-4 foot wide planting screen along the eastern and western boundaries. Construction is proposed to commence within the next 12 months. The estimated cost of the project is $500,000.00. 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 a Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to the Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX-20) zoned district will conform to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements. The General Plan is intended to be used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the County. 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 with the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan in that the proposed development will be developed in an area adequately served by necessary services such as water, utilities, sewers and transportation systems. The applicant is requesting an Industrial-Commercial mixed zoning. The proposed project conforms to the Land Use - Industrial sub-element which states that "Industrial development shall be located in areas adequately served by transportation, utilities and other amenities."
