REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PLANNING f~.; c~~ DATE: May 16, 2006 Re: Comm. No. 688/Bill No. 225 PLACE: Council Chambers TIME: 1:30 p.m. Council Chair and Members Hawaii County Council Hilo, Hawaii 96720 Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 225, transmitted via Communication No. 688 from Mayor Harry Kim, dated February 3, presents an Amendment to Certain Conditions for Land Proposed For Change of Zone filed by Hiluhilu Development, LLC, requested by Planning Director, reports as follows: Bill No. 225 seeks to amend Section 25-A-3 (North Kona Zone Map), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2005 Edition), relating to modifications of the Conditions of Ordinance No. 93 45, and further amending the Ordinance by deleting Tax Map Key 7-2-05:1. The remaining area of 273.82 Acres is retained as Agricultural (A-3a) at Kau, North Kona, Hawaii, covered by Tax Map Key 7-2-15: I-43, 46-86. Communication No. 688 reports that the Hawaii County Planning Commission considered the Planning Director's request and accompanying Bill No. 225 on January 20, 2006, as required by the Hawaii County Charter, Chapter 4, Section 6-4.3(C). The Commission concurred with the Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the request and can be summarized as follows: 1. Ordinance No. 93 45 includes the Makalei Estates Subdivision (272+ acres) and approximately 450 acres of land owned by Hiluhilu. Should the accompanying Change of Zone application filed by Hiluhilu be approved by the Council, the land owned by Hiluhilu would be deleted from Ordinance No. 93 45. 2. Makalei Estates Subdivision would then be the only area covered under Ordinance No. 93 45 and will still retain an Agricultural 3-acre (A-3a) zoned district. 3. The original request for Change of Zone for 727.8 acres from Unplanned to Agricultural 3-acre (A-3a) was approved effective February 15, 1985 resulting in Ordinance No. 850. 4. Conditions that would no longer be applicable to the remaining area covered under Ordinance No 93 45 or those conditions that have already been satisfied will be deleted and some of the deleted conditions, particularly regarding construction of certain roadways, aze proposed for inclusion in the Hiluhilu Project District Ordinance. At the March 21, 2006 meeting, Committee Vice Chair Pete Hoffmann noted this matter is similarly related to the Hiluhilu Project District Ordinance and therefore requested that it be brought forward for public hearing as well. Council Vice Chair Virginia Isbell asked that the applicant come forward at the public hearing with updated information what affordable means. She also requested that applicant provide evidence that the PC REPORT N0. 74
