matter? Okay seeing none. Okay I will continue then, thank you. At this time, I'll call up staff presentation Maija Jackson,please go ahead. JACKSON: Thank you Chair. Good morning, commissioners. So, the next item is an amendment to a Change of Zone ordinance. The subject property is located in the South Hilo District. You can see the property outlined in black on this slide. Give me just a moment I have not used this clicker in years since we've been on Zoom. Let me try to point you to the, there we go. Okay, so this is the subject property outlined in black. You have Kahaopea Street running east west on the north side of the property and Kanoelehua Avenue running along the west side of the property in a north south direction. The property is currently zone Neighborhood Commercial-7,500 square feet. And the General Plan designation for the property is Low Density Urban. I believe when the zoning was originally granted in 1996, the Director at that time interpreted the General Plan map to allow for CN zoning. They interpreted as High Density Urban extending across the intersection. Let's see, this is an aerial view of the property. You can see it is primarily covered in vegetation. The testifier, Mr. Doi lives on this property here and I'm just going to go back to show you Mr. Doi's property is located here. And he accesses Kahaopea Street through an easement along the subject or through the subject property out to Kahaopea Street here. There is a drainage way that runs through the property generally in this area here and then a culvert that crosses Kahaopea Street generally in this area. You can see the surrounding area is residential to the east and north and then across the street kitty-corner is the Puainako Town Center with like Baskin Robbins, Subway at the corner and then an auto parts store here. So, back in I think 2017, when the prior rezoned amendment occurred. At the same time the owner, the landowner had a partner I guess that wanted to develop a 120-bed assisted living facility. So,in 2017 they applied for a Use Permit and the Planning Commission granted that Use Permit for the care facility and then at the same time they received the zoning amendment for a time extension to secure subdivision approval. The plans have not changed since then and the applicant has been working diligently in realizing those plans. So, this is essentially the site plan they had back in 2017 and it's the same site plan now. You can see Kahaopea Street on the left side of the slide, and Kanoelehua on the bottom. In the corner, you have the retail commercial component. There's a parking lot here and then this large structure in the middle of the property is the 120-bed assisted living facility. So, access would be off of Kahaopea Street here and then that will lead to the parking lot for the retail as well as several parking lots supporting the assisted living facility and then access to Mr. Doi's property which is here. I believe this dark gray area is generally where the floodway is and then the purple area is a wastewater treatment plant for the development. So, the applicant is requesting to amend Condition C for a five(5)-year time extension to secure final subdivision approval to consolidate and resubdivide the property. As I mentioned the applicant has been working diligently to complete development of the assisted living facility and the retail commercial uses on the property. They've received Master Plan approval in 2021 as well as tentative subdivision approval and drainage plans for on-site improvements. Remaining approvals that are needed are for additional drainage way improvements. They'll 2 EXH1B1T C
