Stacy Higa, Chairman <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> <br /> Page 6 <br /> • Rural-style residential-agricultural developments, such as new small-scale <br /> rural communities or extensions of existing rural communities, shall be <br /> encouraged in appropriate locations. <br /> • Review and amend land use ordinances and codes to include <br /> considerations for rural-style residential subdivisions in appropriate <br /> locations. Standards and criteria for the establishment of these areas shall <br /> be developed. <br /> The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General <br /> Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated <br /> growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical <br /> relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban <br /> and non-urban form for areas within the County. The subject area is designated Rural. <br /> This designation includes existing subdivisions in the State Land Use Agricultural and <br /> Rural districts that have a significant residential component. The County Council has <br /> previously approved land use reclassifications in the Anekona Estates Subdivision, <br /> Kanehoa Estates Subdivision and Kamuela Plantations Subdivisions to the State Land <br /> Use Rural district and Residential-Agricultural zoning. From 1998 to present, the County <br /> Council approved similar requests for State Land Use Boundary Amendments from the <br /> Agricultural to the Rural districts, and Change of Zones from A-Sato RA-2a in the <br /> Kanehoa Estates Subdivision and Anekona Estates Subdivision. <br /> The property was created on Apri129, 1985 as one of 27 lots in the Kanehoa <br /> Estates Subdivision. Surrounding lands are zoned A-Sa and RA-2a and located within <br /> the State's Agricultural and Rural Districts. These lands are in residential uses and/or <br /> vacant with minimal agricultural activities. <br /> A favorable recommendation of this change of zone request will be consistent <br /> with the emerging land use pattern being established within this portion of South Kohala. <br /> Should this request be approved, the applicants may normally apply for an Ohana <br /> Dwelling Permit, allowing the construction of a second dwelling unit as a separate or <br /> attached unit on both lots. Because this request would allow the existing parcel to be <br /> subdivided and subsequently allow the creation of a second lot, an additional dwelling <br /> maybe constructed, doubling the existing density of the area. Although the Planning <br /> Director supports this rezoning request to allow atwo-lot subdivision with one dwelling <br /> on one lot, the potential to allow four (4) dwellings may contribute to a cumulative <br /> burden on the existing infrastructure which cannot be supported. Therefore, a condition <br /> <br />
