Pete Hoffmann, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 approximately $40 to 50 million. The conditions of approval do not limit this to a project as described, however. The proposed bill allows development consistent with RM-1.5 zoning. In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. The Change of Zone request from aSingle-Family Residential - 10,000 square feet (RS-l0) to a Mu-tiple-Family Residential - 1,500 square feet (RM-1.5) conforms to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan. The General Plan is intended to be used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the County. It sets forth goals, policies, standards and courses of action to accommodate growth without congestion, to designate and preserve the lands needed for residential use, commercial and visitor services, industry, agriculture and open space, and to coordinate these uses with the County's service and circulation systems. The overall goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. The proposed Change of Zone will conform to, among others, the goals, policies and standards of the Land Use, Housing and Public Facilities Elements of the General Plan: Land Use Zone urban-types of uses in areas 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.
