The approval of the Change of lone request from the Single Family Residential - 1(1,000 square feet (RS-10) to Neighborhood Commercial - 10,000 square feet (CN-10) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the public based on the following: • The proposed change of zone is located in an area designated in the General Plan to allow neighborhood commercial zoning and village commercial uses. The proposed change of zone adds commercial uses to serve the surrounding community. • 'I~hc action also complements the Land Use and Commercial elements of the General Plan by providing commercial uses in areas with adequate public utilities and facilities in locations which maximize convenience to users. • "The proposed rezoning conforms to the LUPACi map which designates the area for Medium-Density Urban Development. • ~fhe Waiakea Houselots area is in transition from residential to commercial and industrial uses. Several properties in the area have been rezoned for commercial uses. • nll essential services and utilities are available to the project site. • 'I~he Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood Insurance Map (FIRM) identifies the site as "X" or outside the flood plain. 4.
