The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non -urban form for areas within the County. The project area is designated High Density Urban on the LUPAG Map. The requested zoning would be consistent with the urban designation on the LUPAG Map for this area of Hilo. The State Land Use designation for the property is Urban. The property is designated Existing Urban Development by the Land Study Bureau's Productivity Rating and by the Department of Agriculture's ALISH Map. The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP), adopted in 1975, suggests residential uses in this area. However, this area is transitioning to higher density commercial type uses. The proposed change of zone would complement the existing commercial land uses that already exist in this area and will provide for an orderly development of the area. The land uses in the area are a mix of residential and commercial uses. The property adjacent to the project site is zoned CN -20 (Ordinance No. 99 158), site of an attorney's office. The property to the immediate south is zoned RS -10 and in single - family residential use. Properties across Kino`ole Street to the east are zoned RS -10 and also in single - family residential uses. Properties to the west of the site are zoned RM -1. All utilities and services are available to the site. The project will connect to the existing County sewer system. The primary access to the project site is from Kino`ole Street, a County roadway with a right -of -way of approximately 60 feet. The property is a suitable location for the dialysis center as it is located on a major thoroughfare and all utilities are available to the site. The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be rectified or which would render the land unusable. The project site is located within Zone "X ", area determined to be outside the 500 -year floodplain. All development generated storm run -off shall be disposed of on -site and not allowed onto adjacent properties or roadways.
