the end of 2007 or early 2008. The applicants estimate the cost of renovation to cost $30,000. This cost would include making the necessary changes to the structure to accommodate handicapped access and other building code compliance. Other improvements would include painting, furnishing, and additional pavement and stripping for the required parking. IV. INSTITUTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS A. State Land Use The subject properly is designated Urban. As such, a boundary amendment to cover the requested CN-20 zone is not needed. B. County General Plan The County General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map designates the site Medium Density. As such, a General Plan amendment to the LUPAG map would not be required. Relative to the Medium Density designation, the General Plan allows consideration for "Village and neighborhood commercial and residential and related functions (3-story commercial, residential - up to 35 units per acre." The requested zoning and planned use would be consistent with the uses envisioned within the Medium area. C. Hilo Community Deveioament Plan The Community Development Plan (CDP) attempts to further define the General Plan and serves as a guide for decision-makers. It was adopted by the Planning Commission in 1975, over 25 years ago. Although reviewed by the County Council, the CDP was never adopted. The CDP's Land Use Concept map identifies a RS-10 designation for this area. Having a residential use on the balance of the property with the proposed commercial use would be somewhat consistent with the residential concept. Notwithstanding the technical inconsistency, however, it is acknowledged that the growth of Hilo and its outlying areas like Puna and Hamakua, have made some of the planning assumptions of the CDP obsolete. An updated CDP would be timely. 2
