Dru Kanuha, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 2 The applicants are requesting a Change of Zone from Single-Family Residential - 10,000 square feet(RS-10) to Neighborhood Commercial - 10,000 square feet (CN-10) for approximately 16,315 square feet of land in order to develop an approximately 3,000- square foot single-story office building for either rental or personal use. On-site parking and landscaping would be provided as required by the Zoning Code. 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 an RS-10 to a CN-10 zoning district conforms to applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan. 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 request to change the zoning to a CN-10 district conforms to the LUPAG Map, which designates the property and the surrounding area as Medium Density Urban. Such designation allows village and neighborhood commercial uses and single-family and multiple-family residential uses and related functions, up to 35 units per acre. In addition to being consistent with the LUPAG Map, the request would also support the following goals and policies of the General Plan Land Use and Transportation elements: • Encourage the concentration of commercial uses within and surrounding a central core area. • Require developers to provide basic infrastructure necessary for development. • Widen and provide curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements along Kilauea Avenue from Haihai Street to Ponahawai Street.
