requirements and appropriate conditions of approval. The RS-7.5 zoning is being requested to allow the existing buildings to be more consistent with the required sideyard setback. The setback between the structures is 15 feet; and the RS-10 zoning would require a total of 20 feet between the buildings, whereas, the RS-7.5 zoning would require an 8-foot setback. As proposed, there would still be a need for a 5-foot variance however. This distance would still meet the Building Code setback requirement. It should be noted that the actual density of the subject area would not change, regardless of the zoning (RS-7.5 or RS-10). The requested zoning is thus not intended to increase the utility or density of the lot, but make it more consistent with the subdivision requirements. B. Proiect Timetable and Cost The applicants hope to secure the necessary County rezoning approval as soon as possible and begin the subdivision process immediately thereafter. Tentatively, plans call for having the lots subdivided by the end of 1998. The estimated cost of the improvements is marginal, as all improvements are in. IV. INSTITUTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS A. State Land Use The subject area is designated Urban. As such, no State Land Use action is required. B. County General Plan The County General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map designates the site Law Density Residential. Under this designation, single family residential uses of this nature are permissible; as such, no amendment to the Plan would be necessary to effectuate this proposal. C. Hilo Community Development Plan This plan attempts to further define the General Plan and serves as a guide for decision-makers. It was adopted by the Planning Commission in 1975. It has not, however, been adopted by the County Council. 2
