The proposed development is consistent with the County General Plan, Hilo <br /> Community Development Plan(CDP),Zoning Code and other applicable ordinances. <br /> The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide(LUPAG)for the County of Hawaii <br /> is a policy document expressing the broad goals and policies for the long-range <br /> development of the Island of Hawai'i. The plan was adopted by ordinance in 1989 and <br /> revised in 2005. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan LUPAG <br /> Map designation of Resort Node(ren)which includes areas that are a mix ofvisitor-related <br /> uses such as hotels, condos, single-family and multiple family residential units,golfcourses <br /> and other typical resort recreational facilities, resort commercial complexes, and other <br /> support services. Staff notes that the project site has been designated as a "minor resort <br /> area", under the General Plan section on Standards (14.7.4) and as designed will <br /> complement the goals,policies, and standards of the Land Use (Economic, Environmental <br /> and Land Use) Elements of the General Plan. The proposed action is in balance with the <br /> natural, cultural, and social environment of the County, and it will create temporary <br /> construction jobs for local residents and indirectly affect the economy through construction <br /> industry purchases from local suppliers as well as permanent jobs for employees of the <br /> future restaurant, bar and micro-distillery. <br /> The Hawaii County Department of Planning zoning designation for the subject <br /> parcels is General-Industrial 5-acres (MG-5a)(Parcel 001) and MG-la(Parcel 002),which <br /> applies to areas for uses that are generally considered to be offensive or have some element <br /> of danger. The proposed project of creating a micro-distillery, restaurant, and bar are <br /> permitted uses within the MG zoning district and do not require a use permit. The <br /> development will conform to the requirements of the zoning district relative to permissible <br /> uses, maximum allowable height, minimum yard setbacks, minimum off-street parking, <br /> and landscaping requirements. <br /> Lastly, the proposed development is consistent with the Hilo Community <br /> Development Plan (Hilo CDP). The Hilo CDP was adopted by the Hawai`i County <br /> Planning Commission, by Resolution No. 1 on May 21, 1975 and guides decisions within <br /> the Hilo Urban Area and surrounding regions. <br /> -6- <br />
