The estimated cost of the project is $1.2 million. 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 Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Multiple-Family Residential 1,000 square feet (RM-1) 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 General Plan in that the proposed development will be developed in an area adequately served by necessary services such as water, utilities, sewers and transportation systems. 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 on the LUPAG Map. The High Density Urban designation includes general commercial, multiple family residential and related services (multiple family residential - up to 87 units per acre). The current High Density area in the vicinity of the project site is identified by the area bounded by Kilauea Street to the east, Kawili Street to the south, and Kapiolani Street to the west.
