Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 Finally, it should also be noted that the reclassification action would conform to the following goals, objectives and/or policies articulated in the Hawaii State Plan: a. Achieve a strong, viable economy, characterized by stability, diversity and growth that enables the fulfillment of the needs and expectations of Hawaii's present and future generations. b. Encourage urban developments in close proximity to existing services and facilities. Based on the above, the approval of the State Land Use Boundary Amendment to the Urban District complements the State Land Use District Regulations and is supportive of the State of Hawaii Plan. Change of Zone 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 be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. The proposed request from an Unplanned (U) to a Single Family Residential-15,000 square feet (RS-15) zoned district will conform to the following goals, policies and standards of the Land Use and Single Family Residential Elements of the General Plan. o Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County. o Zone urban- and rural- types of uses in areas with ease of access to community services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities. o Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County.
