Stacy Higa, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 5 50% will be allocated for affordable housing pursuant to Chapter 11 (Housing) of the Hawaii County Code. 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 be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. The proposed request from an Agricultural-5 acres (A-Sa) to a Multiple Family Residential-2,500 square feet (RM-2.5) zoned district will conform to the following goals, policies and standards of, among others, the Land Use and Housing Elements of the General Plan. LAND USE -GENERAL • Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County. • Zone urban- and rural-types of uses in areas with ease of access to community services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities. • Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County. • Encourage the development and maintenance of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social environment. • Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation, district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access, and public need. The request will conform to the Land Use Element of the General Plan, as it will be compatible with adjacent urban types of uses, such as the Kona Hillcrest, Pualani Estates, and the Kahakai Estates Subdivisions. This request will conform to the projected need of urban growth for this area.
