Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii Page 3 water calculations and remit a water commitment fee should they develop a use other than the proposed dental office. The Department of Environmental Management provided advisory information on possible sewer connection requirements (dry sewer laterals) and compliance with future federal, state, and county regulations related to discharge of pollutants within publicly owned treatment works (dental wastewater discharge related to mercury from filling amalgam), should the County sewer be extended within Kilauea Avenue fronting the property prior to construction of a permitted use on the subject property. For this reason, the Director found it prudent to expand the wastewater condition to include DEM requirements if applicable at the time a building permit is granted. 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 subject, one (1)-acre property is rectangular in shape and is currently vacant of any improvements as it has been cleared to accommodate the proposed use. The RCX zoning and proposed project development is consistent with mixed residential - commercial type zoning and uses in the surrounding area, which include single and multiple-family residential zoning and uses as well as commercial zoning within close proximity consisting of a gas station. The proposed dental office building or any other use permitted in the RCX zoned district will be developed in accordance with the Zoning Code. Furthermore, the applicant will be required to develop the property in compliance with a Final Plan Approval, which will ensure appropriate on-site parking, drainage and landscaping requirements will be met. The proposed dental office building facility will not generate the 50 or more peak hour vehicle trips that would require a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR); however, Condition E of the subject ordinance would require a TZAR if the applicant developed a
