Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members: Change of Zone Application (REZ 03-004) Applicant: HAKS, Inc. Request: RS -10 to MCX-20 Tax Man Key: 2-2-50:37 and 38 The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on April 17, 2003, voted to recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to change the district classification for approximately 45,000 square feet of land from Single Family Residential (RS -10) to Industrial - Commercial Mixed Use (MCX-20). The property is located in Waiakea House Lots, on the northwest comer of Kawili Street-Laukapu Street intersection and across of Maka`ala Street, Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii. The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the change of zone: The applicant is requesting to rezone two adjoining parcels of land consisting of 22,500 square feet each or a total of 45,000 square feet. The applicant proposes to construct two warehouse buildings, separated by a firewall, on each of the lots and operate them as separate entities. As such, the applicant has no intentions of consolidating Parcels 37 and 38. Each of the proposed building would be one-story approximately 7,000 square feet. A firewall will be constructed between the buildings as they will be built at the common property boundary. According to the application, the building on Parcel 38 would be oriented for storage and the other building on the comer Parcel 37 may be used for a combination of retail/warehouse or other permitted industrial uses. The 24 -stall parking areas, including a handicapped stall, on each parcel would be situated to the front of the building with two-way traffic circulation. It should be pointed out that other uses under the MCX district would be permitted.
