VL SOCIAL AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS A. Surrounding Land Uses This area is dominated by single-family residences and/or single-family residential lots. The lots vary in sizes from 10,000 to 20,000 square feet. Lots fronting Haihai Street and adjacent to the subject site consist of 20,000 square feet. Although zoned RS-15, lots to the north and within the Maunakai Circle Subdivision are essentially 10,000 square feet. This was accomplished through a Cluster Plan Development permit. A property less than 500 feet east or makai of the subject site was recently rezoned into the RS-10 district. This property has since been subdivided into 10,000 square foot lots (Heahea Street Subdivision). Thus, the request would not be out of character with the existing and emerging development pattern in this area. B. Economic Impacts The requested zoning individually would have only a minute economic impact, as it is intended to help out family members. As such, it would not be a development project where the direct and indirect employment impacts through construction activity would be larger. Nonetheless, in a small way, this project should hopefully reduce government's burden to provide services to the affected family member. C. Agricultural Impacts The site has not been used for agricultural activity. It has been used as home sites for over seven ('n years. That fact, plus the urban nature of the surrounding area make the agricultural impact of this project somewhat negligible. Equally important, the land has not been classified as being important from an agricultural resource perspective under the various soil classification systems. It is neither classified by the Land Study Bureau nor under the ALISH system as being important from an agricultural resource perspective. 6
