Dear Chairman Higa and Council Members:
Amendment to Change of Zone Ordinance No. 98-98 (REZ 898)
Applicant: Seawind Holding, hie.
Request: Time Extension to Conditions B & C
Tax Map Key: 2-2-37:29
The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on August 4, 2006, voted to
recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill for an amendment to Change of Zone
Ordinance No. 98-98, which rezoned 21,050 square feet of land from a Single Family Residential
- 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to an Industrial Commercial Mixed - 20,000 square feet (MCX-20)
district. The property is located along the west side of Kanoelehua Avenue, approximately 190
feet from the Kanoelehua Avenue-Lanikaula Street intersection, Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending
favorable consideration of the request:
The applicant is requesting time extensions to Condition B (water commitment
payment) and Condition C (completion of construction) of Change of Zone Ordinance
No. 98 98.
Effective September 25, 1998, Change of Zone Ordinance No. 98 98 changed the
district classification of the property from Single Family Residential (RS-10) to
Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX-20), which is 21,050 square feet in size. The
applicant originally rezoned the property to construct a 7,968-square foot building with
20 paved parking stalls and lease the building for a convenience store, restaurant, and/or
retail outlets.
Hawaii County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer
Stacy Higa, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 2
The inability of the applicant to comply with the requirement of Condition B and
Condition C of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 98 98 is the result of conditions that could
not have been foreseen or are beyond the control of the applicant. Since the approval of
the change of zone, the applicant has had a difficult time securing a viable tenant to
occupy the property and has not been able to meet the time conditions within the
ordinance. Recently, the applicant has been receiving many offers for the development
and feels that with the change in the economy, he would like to proceed with the
development. The reasons for the conditions not being met were not a result of the
applicant's actions and were beyond the applicant's control.
The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map designates
the area for industrial uses. The current zoning of Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX-
20) for the property is consistent with the existing General Plan Designation in the area.
All essential utilities and services are available to the site.
For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Change of Zone Ordinance No. 98 98 is
transmitted.
We are enclosing copies of the staff Background and Planning Director's Recommendation for
your information.

COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
SEAWIND HOLDING, INC.
CHANGE OF ZONE ORDINANCE NO. 98 98 (REZ 898)
AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONS B AND C
Upon review of the request, the Planning Director recommends that a favorable
recommendation to amend Condition B and C of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 98-98 be
forwarded to the Hawaii County Council. Since this recommendation is made without the
benefit of public testimony, the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this position
based upon additional information presented at the public hearing. The favorable
recommendation to is based on the following findings:
The applicant is requesting time extensions to Condition B (water commitment
payment) and Condition C (completion of construction) of Change of Zone Ordinance
No. 98 98.
Effective September 25, 1998, Change of Zone Ordinance No. 98 98 changed the
district classification of the property from Single Family Residential (RS-10) to
Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX-20), which is 21,050 square feet in size. The
applicant originally rezoned the property to construct a 7,968-square foot building with
20 paved parking stalls and lease the building for a convenience store, restaurant, and/or
retail outlets.
The inability of the applicant to comply with the requirement of Condition B and
Condition C of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 98 98 is the result of conditions that could
not have been foreseen or are beyond the control of the applicant. Since the approval of
the change of zone, the applicant has had a difficult time securing a viable tenant to
occupy the property and has not been able to meet the time conditions within the
ordinance. Recently, the applicant has been receiving many offers for the development
and feels that with the change in the economy, he would like to proceed with the
development. The reasons for the conditions not being met were not a result of the
applicant's actions and were beyond the applicant's control.
-1-
The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map designates
the area for industrial uses. The current zoning of Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX-
20) for the property is consistent with the existing General Plan Designation in the area.
All essential utilities and services are available to the site.
Based on the above findings, the proposed amendment to Conditions B and C of
Ordinance No. 98 98 is not contrary to the original reasons for approving the Change of
Zone. In addition, the Planning Director is recommending that Condition L be amended
to delete the option of an administrative time extension in the future. It is recommended
that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council with the following
changes (material to be deleted is bracketed and struck through; material to be added is
underscored):
A. The applicant, its successors or assigns shall be responsible for complying with all
of the stated conditions of approval.
B. The required water commitment payment shall be submitted to the Department of
Water Supply in accordance with its "Water Commitment Guidelines Policy"
within ninety (90) days from the effective date of this [ordiaExee]amendment.
C. Construction of the proposed development and related improvements within the
