Stacy Higa, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 range in size from 1,520 to 1,672 square feet. The property is landscaped and there is a rock wall around the property's frontages on Lanikaula Street and Kilauea Avenue. Due to the improved nature of the project site, the topography of the parcel is relatively level. 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 also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. The Change of Zone request from a Single-Family Residential 10,000 square foot (RS-10) to a General Commercial - 20,000 square foot (CG-20) zoned district will conform to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements. The General Plan is intended to be used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the County. The overall goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. Land use is one of the principal focal points of public concern and policy. The Land Use element provides the primary basis for direct control and guidance of publicly and privately owned resources. The request conforms to the goals, policies and standards of the Land Use - Commercial element of the General Plan. 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 project area is designated High Density Urban, which includes General Commercial, multiple family residential and related services. Thus the requested General Commercial zoning conforms to the LUPAG map for this area.
