Aaron S.Y., Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 9 The proposed change of zone to FA -la will allow for a much higher density than the current A -20a zoning would allow. Moreover, the land is classified as Prime Agricultural Land by the ALISH System and designated as "C" or "Good" under the Land Study Bureau rating system. These conditions will allow for small scale family agricultural uses in areas of moderate to high agricultural potential and act as a rural transition between the higher -density, urban lands makai and larger lot agricultural lands further mauka. In order to ensure that there is sufficient land area to allow for viable agricultural activity and that the infrastructure of the area is not overwhelmed by the additional residential density, the Planning Director recommends including a condition prohibiting a second dwelling unit and/or a condominium property regime on each subdivided lot. Finally, the proposed FA -la zoning is consistent with the following goals, policies and standards of, among others, the Land Use -Agricultural Element of the General Plan: ■ Designate and allocate land uses inappropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County. ■ The compatibility of agricultural and non- agricultural uses should be carefully reviewed and where appropriate, buffers required. ■ Agricultural land shall be used as one form of open space or green belt. All essential utilities and services are available to the site. Current access to the subject parcels is via a driveway to Parcel 26 from Amau`ulu Road, which is under private ownership in the section fronting the subject properties. Thus, the applicant is proposing all access to the project site via the construction of a new, County dedicable standard, fifty (50) -foot wide roadway running mauka-makai along the northern end of Parcel 26, intersecting to Wainaku Street as the main access way and terminating at the mauka property line of parcel 27. The applicant also proposes to build a County dedicable standard, fifty (50) -foot wide cul-de-sac within the proposed RS -10 zoned area between the proposed spine road and terminating prior to reaching Amau`ulu Road. Finally, the applicant proposes to construct two (2), twenty (20) -foot wide private, non-dedicable roads within the proposed FA -1 a zoned area between the proposed spine road and terminating prior to reaching Amau`ulu Road. The applicant proposes to dedicate the primary spine road and proposed cul-de-sac road to the County, while the smaller roads would be kept in private ownership.
