• J Yoshimoto, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 10 The proposed Change of Zone from an Agricultural (A-la) to a Village Commercial 40,000 square foot(CV-40)zoned district will conform to, among others, the following goals, policies and standards of the Land Use and Economic General Plan Elements and the General Plan LUPAG Map: 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 implication of these evaluations and decisions must be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. In a previous General Plan amendment, the Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map was amended for the Hawaiian Ocean View Estates and Hawaiian Ranchos Subdivisions area. Hawaiian Ocean View Estates was amended from Extensive Agriculture and Orchards to Rural to recognize its residential-agricultural character. A portion of Hawaiian Ranchos and Hawaiian Ocean View Estates was amended along the highway from Extensive Agriculture to Urban Expansion Area to allow additional lands to accommodate future industrial, commercial, and higher density residential uses to service these large subdivisions. 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 proposed request conforms to the LUPAG Map, which designates the property as Urban Expansion Area, which allows for a mix of high density, medium density, low density, industrial, industrial-commercial and/or open designations in areas where new settlements may be desirable,but where the specific settlement pattern and mix of uses have not yet been determined. The proposed change of zone request from A-la to CV- 40 would further the County's goals of providing an economic environment which allows new or existing businesses to expand and diversify the County's economic base, and also increase choice of occupations. The proposed use would be consistent with the following goals, policies and standards of the Economic, Land Use and Commercial Elements of the General Plan:
