Stacy Higa, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 • a Salvation Army complex, which will include a church, pre-school, community service store and administration facility (approximately five acres, proposed RM- 3.5 zoning) The proposed project does not include the 17.6-acre Mohala Commercial Village (Lowe's Home Improvement Center) located between the project site and Henry Street. The project is designed as aloes-density, low-impact development that transitions from the urban comdor above Kailua Village to the existing farms in the Kona Coffee Belt. The proposed Salvation Army complex will be located directly mauka of the Lowe's Home Improvement Center, and the affordable housing units will be situated directly mauka of the Salvation Anny complex. The residential-agricultural lots are proposed above or mauka of both the affordable housing and Salvation Army complex. A Use Permit will be secured to allow the development of the Salvation Army complex. 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 Change of Zone request from Agricultural 5-acre (A-Sa) to Residential and Agricultural 1-acre (RA-la) and Multiple Family Residential 3,500 square feet (RM-3.5) will conform to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan Economic and Land Use elements. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non-urban form for areas within the County. The subject area is designated Urban Expansion Area, which allows for a mix of high density, medium density, low density, industrial, industrial-commercial and/or open designations in areas where new settlements maybe desirable, but where the specific settlement pattern and mix of uses have not yel been determined. Soils within the property are identified as: • WHC, or Waiaha Extremely Stony Silt Loam (6 to l2 percent slopes) is a dark brown extremely stony silt loam about 4 inches thick. Permeability is moderately rapid, nmoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight.
