Kea'au, Puna, Hawai`i, TMK: (3) 1-6-141:parcel 002. The staff presentation will be by Tracie- Lee Camero. CAMERO: Good morning, Chair, and members of the Windward Planning Commission. Before you today we have Ke`aloha Lani, LLC. As the Chair mentioned their request is currently to amend Condition E and Condition I of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 17 65. As stated, the applicant is requesting an amendment of Condition E which is the timing for fire flow improvements and Condition I which is the timing of roadway improvements of Ordinance No. 17 65 which reclassified 6.505 acres of land from Agricultural-20 acres to General Industrial- 20,000 square feet. The applicant's stated reasons for the request was the applicant believes that the requirement for the industrial or commercial level roadway improvements and water requirements are driven by the industrial zoning and any subdivision based on that zoning designation. The applicant further stated that the requirements or standards like the roadway improvement requirements would not be applicable if a use were permitted within a special permit for this property. Therefore,the applicant is requesting similar consideration i.e.,that the road and water infrastructure improvements be deferred to the subdivision process and not the building permit process which is what it's currently stated. Before you is the location map. The subject property is located east of Highway 11 which you can see runs in a north to south direction and it's located west of Railroad Avenue and north of Highway 130 in the Kea'au district within the Puna Ahupua'a. This is the County zoning map. The subject property is outlined in red and indicated to you with the color gray. The surrounding properties for the areas include FA-2 acres,Agricultural-5 acres and I apologize the FA-2 acres is shown to you with the aqua color and the agricultural zone districts are shown to you in the various green shades. There's also a similar industrial zoning located across Volcano Road which you can see in the purple color.

This is the LUPAG map for the subject property which again is outlined in red. The LUPAG designation shown on this map is orange which is Medium Density Urban. However, in 2017 the Planning Director determined that it was actually within the Gen, I apologize, the Industrial zone district.

Which is shown on this property, and it also continues on to the surrounding properties within the area.
