Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 As we look at the larger picture, we realize that the implication of these evaluations and decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact not only on other similar areas in the County, but ultimately, on the future development of the whole island. The applicant is requesting the change of zone in order to subdivide the property into two (2) lots - one approximately 8,700 square feet and the other 11,300 square feet in size. There are two homes on the subject property, one of which is an ohana dwelling. The ohana dwelling permit was effective on May 10, 1990. The applicant intends to convey title of one house and lot to a family member. The proposed Single-Family Residential (RS-7.5) zoning can conform to the following goals, policies and standards of the Land Use Element of the General Plan: * Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural, and physical environments of the County. * Zone urban- and rural-types of uses with ease of access to community services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities. * Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation, district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access, and public need. * The county shall encourage the development and maintenance of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social environment. Approval of this request would also compliment the following goals and policies of the Single-Family Residential Element of the General Plan: * To provide single-family residential areas conveniently located to public and private services, shopping, and other community activities and convenient access to employment centers. * The County shall designate and allocate single-family residential zoned lands at varying densities for future use in accordance with the needs of the communities and the stated goals, policies, and standards.
