Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 4 3a zoned parcels, while the entire eastern side of the subject parcel is bounded by a block of Agricultural-1 acre(A-1 a)lots created by subdivision of lot 813 of the Waiakea Homesteads in 1961. The surrounding lands uses are predominately used for single-family residences. The proposed request will result in a more appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. When considering any request to change the zoning district of a property,the Director shall consider the purpose of the existing and proposed zoning district and the purpose of the Zoning Code and shall recommend a change in zoning only where it would result in a more appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. The predominant land use in this area is single-family residential with the exception of a few Agricultural zoned parcels in the vicinity of the proposed project site. The majority of the single-family residential parcels range between 10,000 to 15,000 sq. ft. in size and are zoned either RS-10 or RS-15. If approved, the proposed zoning of this site would be lots averaging 10,000 sq. ft. in size which would be consistent with the surrounding parcels zoning. For the purpose of promoting health, safety, or the general welfare of the County,the Zoning Code regulates and restricts the height, size of buildings, and other structures, the percentage of a building site that may be occupied,off-street parking, setbacks, size of yards, courts,and other open spaces,the density of population, and the location and use of buildings, structures, and land for trade, industry, residence, or other purposes. In considering the purposes of the Zoning Code in relation to the proposed request, the approval of the request will result in a higher density.If approved,the applicant could build a dwelling on each of the newly created lots, resulting in an increase in the overall unit density within the project site. In considering the request in relation to the surroundingzoning,the request will result in an appropriate land use pattern.The subject property is surrounded on three sides by parcels that are zoned for single-family residential use, which will be similar to the proposed subdivision and will allow for the same density as the surrounding parcels. Based on the above information,the proposed request will result in a more appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience,and the general welfare of the County.
