The applicant has submitted a <br /> concurrent request for a State Land Use District Boundary Amendment from the <br /> Agricultural (approximately 2.862 acres) and Urban (approximately 11.909 acres) <br /> Districts to a Rural District. <br /> <br /> hi order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable <br /> goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only <br /> through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions <br /> can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the <br /> General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and <br /> decisions must be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the <br /> County. <br /> <br /> The Change of Zone request from A-20a and RS-15 to RA-la will conform to, <br /> among others, the Land Use (Single Family Residential) policies of the General Plan: <br /> <br /> • Rural-style residential-agricultural developments, such as new small-scale rural <br /> communities or extensions of existing rural communities, shall be encouraged in <br /> appropriate locations. <br /> <br /> • Review and amend land use ordinances and codes to include considerations for <br /> rural-style residential subdivisions in appropriate locations.

The property is designated Low Density <br /> Urban, which allows uses single family residential in character, ancillary community and <br /> public uses, and convenience type commercial uses. <br /> <br /> A 14.69-acre area, which includes approximately the entire subject property, was <br /> reclassified into the State Land Use Urban District and rezoned to the RS-15 zoned <br /> district on December 5, 1996. Mauna Kea Agribusiness, the former landowner, had <br /> planned to subdivide the property into 25 lots ranging in size between 15,000 - 20,000 <br /> square feet to provide home ownership opportunities to C. Brewer's employees. <br /> Subdivision No. 7472 was approved on October 9, 2001 for the consolidation and <br /> resubdivision of six lots into four lots (Lots 1-A through 1-D) and an existing roadway <br /> lot. However, after the subdivision was approved, Lot 1-D (subject property) did not <br /> correspond in size and configuration to the 14.69-acre area that was reclassified and <br />
