Okay, so this application as previously stated is for Lawrence Palmer. It's a Change of Zone application. This is the location map for the subject property and the subject property is outlined in red. It's on Laukahi Place in the Village of Kea`au. The applicant's request is a Change of Zone from a Single-Family Residential-10,000 square feet (RS-10)zoning district to a Village Commercial-10,000 square feet(CV-10) zoning district for 11,254 square feet of land. The applicant proposes to convert an existing single-story, 1,152 square foot single-family dwelling into a commercial space in order to establish a furniture and appliance rental outlet. And the applicant plans to employ two to three people with proposed hours of operation from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. The proposed site plan includes a parking lot with four(4)parking stalls, one of which will be ADA accessible, and no additional structures or expansion of the existing building footprint are proposed. Here you're seeing the County zoning map with the subject property outlined in red. The property is currently zoned Single-Family Residential (RS-10)-10,000 square feet. It's in yellow as is much of the surrounding properties are similarly zoned (RS-10). Nearby there is (CV-10) in the lavender and there's also (RS-15) Single-Family Residential-15,000 square feet in the kind of mustard color yellow. To the north, there is some agriculturally zoned A-20a properties. This is the State Land Use Boundary Map, so the pink shows Urban designation which the subject property is designated and then to the north and some to the east,there is some Agricultural designation in green. The LUPAG map or the General Plan Designation shows that the property has about two thirds of the property is designated Low Density Urban or LDU and about one third is designated MDU or Medium Density Urban. As is most of the surrounding area duly zoned either LDU or MDU and just to the west kind of north-west there is that Urban Expansion zone. From the Puna CDP, this is the regional Town Center for Kea`au and it's a little bit hard to read, but the subject property is within what is the kind of the dash boarder designating the Regional Town Center boundary. So, it is located within that boundary of the Regional Town Center. Here is the applicant's site plan. The existing residence is kind of located right in the center of the property. The property is triangular shaped in nature, and you can see that the existing driveway it's fairly a short driveway exiting on to Laukahi Place. In the aerial photograph again, the subject property outlined in red to the left on your screen is an existing service station and to the right is an existing school. Across the street is the new HMSA building,the newer HMSA building. 2 EXHIBIT B (DRAFT)
