The applicant hopes to secure County rezoning approval as soon as possible and begin the subdivision process immediately after. Tentatively, plans call for having the land subdivided by the end of 2018.The estimated cost of improvements for this project should not exceed$ 25,000.00 based on the necessary subdivision improvement. Construction of two new single-family dwellings will be approximately$ 250,000 each. 4. INSTITUTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS a. State Land Use The subject site is designated Urban. Based on proposed lot size, no State Land Use Commission action is required.The County of Hawai'i can process the rezoning request. b. County General Plan The County General Plan Use Pattern Allocation Guide ("LUPAG") map designates the subject site as Low Density Urban.This designation allows consideration for uses that are single-family residential in character, ancillary community and public uses and convenience type of commercial uses. The proposed RS-10 subdivision resulting in two (2) lots would be consistent with the Low Density Urban designations. As such, no General Plan amendment would be required to effectuate this project. • c. Hilo Community Development Plan (SKCDP) The Hilo CDP was adopted by the Planning Commission in 1975 over 35 ago and intended for further define the General Plan and provide short and middle range implementation strategies of the General Plan. Since adoption of the Hilo CDP,there have been significant land developments in the City of Hilo, including the shopping complexes in and around the Puainako/Kanoelehua Intersection, expended commercial uses near University complexes and commercial/industrial uses along the southern portion of the Waiakea Houselots area. These developments render many of the CDP land use concepts obsolete. Although the document was reviewed by the County Council,the CDP was never adopted by ordinance.The CRP's Land use Concept Map identified this area as A-3a, which is inconsistent with the County General Plan LUPAG map.The LUPAG map has been amended to reflect Low Density Urban designation and as such, some of the planning assumptions reflected in 1975 CDP are now obsolete.The GP LUPAG map therefore is a more accurate land use depiction of the affected properties surrounding lands.The County Charter requires all change of zones to be consistent with the designation in General Plan. In this case,the GP LUPAG designation is Low Density Urban, and thus,the requested RS-10 zoning would be consistent. D. County Zoning The County Zoning of the subject property is Residential (RS-15).As noted earlier,the subject property is located next to the 23,538 square foot site which was recently rezoned in 1991 to the RS-10 district.
