Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai Pare 7 Jan 17,2022 The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawai`i Revised Statutes, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The project site is located more than six (6) miles from the nearest shoreline and thus is situated outside of the Special Management Area and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the properties. Through the previous Use Permit process for a medical clinic on the property, the Department of Land and Natural Resources-State Historic Preservation Division issued a "no-=effect" determination by letter dated September 9, 2013, due to previous grubbing/grading of the property. The standard inadvertent archaeological find condition will be added to this approval recommendation. As the property has been extensively grubbed and graded, no floral or faunal surveys have been prepared for this application. According to the applicant, vegetation, birds, and animals are introduced and common to urban areas of the island, thus none of the present plant or animal species are considered endangered. Lastly, this recommendation is made with the understanding that the applicant remains responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements in connection with the proposed use, prior to its commencement or establishment upon the subject properties. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of building permit, compliance with the Fire Code, installation of improvements required by the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), among many others. Compliance with all applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this approval recommendaiton; failure to comply with such requirements will be considered a violation that may result in enforcement action by the Planning Department and/or the affected agencies. Based on the preceding findings, the request to rezone the property from a Single- Family Residential (RS-10)zoning district to a Village Commercial-20,000 square feet (CV- 20) zoning district for would result in an appropriate land use pattern that would further benefit the general public. The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25=8-26 (Pahoa Zone Map), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawai`i County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, As Amended), is provided for your favorable consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill.
