TRUST,AND KAPOHO PROPERTIES, LLC CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION (REZ 21-000243) MARTIN ANDERSON DECLARATION OF TRUST, NORMAN ABRAHAM PIIANAIA REV. LIV. TRUST, AND KAPOHO PROPERTIES, LLC have submitted an application for a Change of Zone from an Open (0) zoning district to an Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use- 20,000 square feet (MCX-20) zoning district for 3.29 acres of land. The subject parcels are situated at the old Hilo Iron Works property located at 1280 Kamehameha Avenue, Pi`opi`o, South Hilo District, Hawai`i, TMK's: (3) 2-2-001:008, 017-019, 024, 030, & 034. PROPOSED ACTION 1. Applicant's Request: The applicants are requesting a Change of Zone from an Open (0) zoning district to an Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use-20,000 square feet (MCX-20) zoning district for 3.29 acres of land that includes seven (7) separate parcels. In order to accommodate the rezone request to MCX-20 the applicants have proposed a consolidation and resubdivision from the existing 7 parcels into 4 separate parcels with the required 20,000 square feet of area. The proposed MCX-20 zoning designation would allow up to seven parcels, 20,000 square feet in size, but due to constraints from existing development that cross existing property lines, as well as setback and other development requirements, a maximum of four (4) parcels are being created. According to the Zoning Code, the purpose of the Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use zoning district is to allow mixing of some industrial uses with commercial uses. The intent of this district is to provide for areas of diversified businesses and employment opportunities by permitting a broad range of uses, without exposing nonindustrial uses to unsafe and unhealthy environments. Requirements for establishing a land use in the MCX district, including a list of the variety of permitted uses, are shown in Section 25-5-130 to 25-5-138 of the Zoning Code. (Planning Department Exhibit 1 - Zoning Code Requirements for Industrial-Commercial Mixed-Use Districts).
