Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 7 approval, along with any drainage improvements as required. Due to the fact that the property had been previously graded in the past, no rare or endangered plants or animals nor any archaeological sites are anticipated to be found on the subject property. Since no valued cultural, historical or native resources nor any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights were practiced in the area, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the area. There is also no public access to the mountains or the shoreline that run through the property. It is not located within the Special Management Area (SMA) and is over 1 mile from the nearest coastline. All utilities and services are available to the site. According to comments from the Department of Water Supply, the parcel currently does not have water service but water can be made available from the existing 12 -inch waterline along Kanoelehua Avenue. DWS will also require that a backflow preventer be installed. The applicant would be required to comply with this requirement. According to the applicant, the project area is within the service limits of the County wastewater disposal system. All wastewater generated will be disposed into the County sewer system. All other utilities and services are available to the subject property. Based on the above findings, approval of this change of zone request from Single Family Residential (RS -10) to Industrial -Commercial Mixed Use (MCX-20) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the general public. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), of the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
