Aaron S.Y., Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 8 designations. Although `ohana dwellings are permitted in the County's RS zoned district, a condition will be included to incorporate restrictive covenants in the deed of all lots to prohibit `ohana dwellings on the lots to ensure that the infrastructure of the area is not overwhelmed by the additional residential density. In addition, the proposed RS -10 zoning is consistent with the following goals, policies and standards of, among others, the Land Use -Single Family Residential Element of the General Plan: ■ To maximize choices of single family residential lots and/or housing for residents of the County. ■ Require developers to provide basic infrastructure necessary for development. ■ Areas shall have basic improvements and amenities necessary for immediate use. ■ To provide single-family residential areas conveniently located to public and private services, shopping, other community activities and convenient access to employment centers that takes natural beauty into consideration. The change of zone requests from an Agricultural 20 -acre (A -20a) to a Family Agricultural 1 -acre (FA -1 a) zoning district conforms to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan Land Use -Agricultural Element. The FA zoning district is intended for lands within the State Land Use Agricultural District, where public services and infrastructure are appropriate to support the very low density residential needs of a rural community, where a substantial number of parcels are less than five acres in size, and where a mix of uses will not conflict with or be detrimental to existing agricultural uses in the surrounding area. The remainder of Parcel 26 and all of Parcel 27 directly mauka of proposed RS -10 zoning will remain in the State Land Use Agricultural district and will be rezoned from A -20a to Family Agricultural -1 acre (FA -la). This FA -la zoning designation is intended to allow for an orderly land use transition and act as a buffer between the proposed single- family residential uses makai and the existing, more intensive agricultural uses on lands directly mauka of the project area, which are owned and fanned by the applicant.
