2. Alternative Residential Density Under this alternative, the applicant could seek a more intensive zoning, such a Residential Duplex (RD-3.5), which would allow each of the dwellings to be converted into a duplex. While this would be generally consistent with the residential goals of the General Plan, it may not be consistent with the single-family character of this area. 3. Evaluation of Alternatives The project's impacts to the area's social and physical infrastructure would not be pronounced. If needed, mitigative measures can be taken during the subdivision approval process. Further, this rezoning action would be consistent with the land use objectives sought to be accomplished by the County General Plan LUPAG map. In view of the aforementioned, it would appear that none of the alternatives would be more prudent and beneficial than the requested RS-10 alternative. UL REGULATORY ANALYSIS A. General Plan LUPAG May The General Plan provides for the long-range comprehensive development of the island of Hawaii. It provides direction for balanced growth in the County. The LUPAG map designates the site Law Density Urban. This designation allows the requested RS-7.5 zoning. B. General Plan Polices The requested zoning would be consistent with the goals, policies, and standards of the General Plan document. For one, although it would not have any significant community-wide economic benefits, it would facilitate the transition of individual family members into housing. Then, too, there would be some added real property tax gains to the, as the site would now be separately assessed. The project will not be using any more energy than what it presently consumes. This is due to the fact that there will not be any new developments on the site. 9
