Heather Kimball, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`i March 18, 2024 Page 4 • Industrial-commercial mixed use districts shall be provided in appropriate locations. • Require developers to provide basic infrastructure necessary for development. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non-urban form for areas within the County. The subject property is designated Industrial by the LUPAG Map which includes uses such as manufacturing and processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities, light industrial and industrial-commercial uses. The proposed use is compatible with evolving commercial and light industrial uses in this area. The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP) identifies the area as Single- Family Residential -10,000 square feet (RS-10); however, this area is transitioning to higher-density commercial/light industrial type uses. The proposed change of zone would allow for the establishment of a relevant commercial use that would be in alignment with the commercial and industrial developments in the surrounding area. Based on the preceding and with recognition of the fact that the Hilo CDP has not been updated since 1975, the proposed MCX-20 zoning would be consistent with the General Plan. All essential utilities and services are available to the site. As the subject property is located at the corner of Manono Street and Lanikaula, the applicant is proposing two access driveways to the property as follows: 1) a full turn movement driveway from Manono Street, which is an approximately 24-foot-wide, paved, County- owned and maintained road within a 60-foot-wide right-of-way; and 2) a right-turn-in, right-turn-out movement driveway from Lanikaula Street, an approximately 22-foot- wide,paved, County-owned and maintained road within a 50-foot-wide right-of-way. Despite the proposed access movements,the Department of Public Works (DPW), Engineering Division, recommends that both driveways be limited to right-in/right-out movements. Also, DPW notes that driveway connections and construction shall conform to Hawai`i County Code and that adequate sight distances shall be provided, meeting with the approval of DPW.
