Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`i Page 2 the applicant has made considerable progress in complying with conditions of approval and developing the property to move his existing automotive repair business to the subject property. This includes including clearing and grading the property, water service installation, securing Final Plan Approval and securing a building permit. Despite the applicant's best efforts to complete construction within the required timeframe, he has been unable to do so due to circumstances beyond his control, including design and development delays, family illness and deaths in the family. Based on the preceding, the applicant is requesting an additional five (5) years to complete construction. Granting of the amendments would not be contrary to the original reasons for granting the change of zone. The reasons for granting the original change of zone under. Ordinance No. 09 138 have not changed. The site is served by appropriate infrastructure to support MCX zoning such as water, wastewater, access, and essential utilities. There are no irresolvable geological or topographical problems which cannot be rectified, or which would render the land unusable. The project site is located within Zone "X", which is an area of minimal flood hazard and the applicant will be required to ensure that all development-related runoff shall be disposed of on site and shall not be directed toward any adjacent properties. Granting of the amendments would not be contrary to the General Plan or Zoning Code. Since the subject parcel was rezoned, there has not been any significant land use regulatory change in this area. The current MCX-20 zoning continues to be consistent with the General Plan's Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map Industrial (ind) designation, which allows for a "mix of high density, medium density, low density, industrial, industrial-commercial and/or open designations in areas where new settlements may be desirable, but where the specific settlement pattern and mix of uses have not yet been determined." The subject, 22,300 square foot property is rectangular in shape and generally level with a slight slope from east to west. It is currently vacant of any improvements and has been completely grubbed and graded. The MCX zoning and proposed project development is consistent with light industrial/commercial type zoning and uses in the surrounding area, which include Sherwin Williams Paint Store and Dulux Paints located on the adjacent properties to the east, which are similarly zoned MCX-20. Hirayama Brothers Electric is located directly across Kalanikoa Street on land zoned ML-10.
