<br /> Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman <br /> <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> <br /> Page 4 <br /> * Industrial development shall be conveniently located to its labor resource. <br /> * Buffer zones shall be established between industrial and adjacent noncompatible <br /> uses of land. <br /> * The County shall identify sites suitable for future industrial activities <br /> The proposed request would also complement the following goals and policies <br /> of the Commercial Element. <br /> * Provide for commercial developments that maximize convenience to users. <br /> * Provide commercial developments that complement the overall pattern of <br /> transportation and land usage within the island's regions, communities, and <br /> neighborhoods. <br /> * Commercial facilities shall be developed in areas adequately served by <br /> necessary services, such as water, utilities, sewers, and transportation systems. <br /> * Distribution of commercial areas shall be such as to best meet the demands of <br /> neighborhood, commercial and regional needs. <br /> The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the <br /> General Plan represents the document's goals, policies, standards and courses of action <br /> to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County.
