Dru Kanuha, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 3 Density Urban on the LUPAG Map. This designation allows village and neighborhood commercial and single family and multiple family residential and related functions (multiple family residential—up to 35 units per acre). The requested zoning would be consistent with the urban designation on the LUPAG Map for this area of Hilo. The requested zoning is also consistent with the following goals, policies, and actions of the General Plan: LAND USE—GENERAL • 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. • Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region, and County. • 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. LAND USE—COMMERCIAL • Provide for commercial developments that maximize convenience to users. • Provide commercial developments that complement the overall pattern of transportation and land usage within the island's regions, communities, and neighborhoods. • Commercial facilities shall be developed in areas adequately served by necessary services such as water, utilities, sewers, and transportation systems. Should such services not be available, the development of more intensive uses should be in concert with a localized program of public and private capital improvements to meet the expected increased needs. • Within the Waiakea House Lots "medium density" area, commercial development shall be focused on the major streets---Kekuanao`a, Pi`ilani, Manono, and Lanikaula, while the interior blocks should be zoned primarily for single- and multi-family residential use.
