Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 9 other natural and environmental resources in the area. Thus, the proposed request and use of the property will not adversely impact those resources. Finally, because the property and surrounding areas have been extensively altered and developed with urban uses, it is not anticipated that endangered or threatened candidate species of flora or fauna are located within the subject property, nor has the area been identified as a significant botanical or biological habitat. The property as well as the surrounding area has been fully developed with the residential uses and therefore, the protection of traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights in the area do not apply. Based on the above findings, approval of the Change of Zone request from Single Family Residential (RS -10) to the Industrial -Commercial Mixed Use (MCX-20) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the public. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), of the County Zoning Code is transmitted. We are enclosing a copy of the staff background for your information. Sincerely, Fred Galdones, Chairman Planning Commission Lkitagawa02PC Enclosures cc: Mr. Sidney Fuke Mr. Brian Kitagawa Department of Public Works Department of Water Supply Rodney Haraga, Director/DOT-Highways, Honolulu
