Change of Zone Application (REZ 06-000043)
Applicant: NST Development, LLC
Request: RS-10 to MCX-20
Tax Map Key: 2-2-3664 and 134
The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on April 4, 2006, voted to
recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to change the district classification
from 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 north side of
Lanikaula Street, approximately 112 feet from the Lanikaula Street-Laukapu Street intersection,
Waiakea House Lots, 1st Series, 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 a change of zone from Single-Family Residential
10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed 20,000 square feet (MCX-
20) for two parcels. Parcel 64 is approximately 12,900 square feet in size and is vacant.
The applicant proposes to construct a 5,000-square foot steel-framed building on this
parcel to be used as office and storage space for an engineering firm. Parcel 134 is
approximately 10,000 square feet in size and is improved with a 2,400-square foot single-
story building. This structure will be used by a mechanical engineering firm for office
space and storage. The estimated cost of the project is $800,000.00.
Hawaii County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer
Stacy Higa, Chairman
and Members of the County Council

In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable
goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only
through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions
can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the
General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and
decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the
County.
The Change of Zone request from Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet
(RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed 20,000 square feet (MCX-20) will conform to
the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements.
The General Plan is intended to be used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and
development of all sectors of the County. It sets forth goals, policies, standards and
courses of action to accommodate growth without congestion, to designate and preserve
the lands needed for residential use, commercial and visitor services, industry, agriculture
and open space, and to coordinate these uses with the County's service and circulation
systems. The overall goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the
lands in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. Land Use is one of the
principal focal points of public concern and policy. The Land Use Element provides the
primary basis for direct control and guidance of publicly and privately owned resources.
The request conforms to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan in
that the proposed development will be developed in an area adequately served by
necessary services such as water, utilities, sewers and transportation systems. The
proposed project also conforms to the Land Use - Industrial sub-element which states that
"Industrial development shall be located in areas adequately served by transportation,
utilities and other amenities."
The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General
Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated
growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical
relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban
and non-urban form for areas within the County. The project area is designated Industrial
on the LUPAG Map. This industrial designation includes uses such as manufacturing and
processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities and light industrial
uses. The MCX zoning would be consistent with the Industrial designation on the
LUPAG Map for this area of Hilo.
Stacy Higa, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 3
The State Land Use designation for the subject property is Urban. The Hilo
Community Development Plan (CDP) adopted in 1975 suggests the retention of
residential uses in this area. However, this area is transitioning to commercial and light
industrial uses. The advantage of this area is its location in close proximity to water, air
transportation terminals, harbor facilities and the residential population of Hilo. The
proposed change of zone would complement the existing industrial and commercial land
uses that already exist in this area and will provide for an orderly development of the
area.
The MCX zoning designation was created when the Zoning Code was amended in
1996. In accordance with Section 25-5-130, Hawaii County Zoning Code, this district
would allow a mix of light industrial and commercial uses. The intent is to provide for
areas of diversified businesses and employment opportunities by permitting a broad range
of uses, without exposing non-industrial uses to unsafe and unhealthy environments.
The project site consists of two parcels. Parcel 64 is approximately 12,900 square
feet in size, fronts Lanikaula Street and is vacant. Parcel 134, the flag lot to the rear of
Parcel 64, is approximately 10,000 square feet in size and improved with a 2,400-square
foot single-story building. The properties are located at an elevation of approximately
fifty feet above mean sea level. The land uses in the immediate area are a mix of
commercial, industrial and residential uses. Uses nearby include a doctor's office on the
comer of Lanikaula Street and Laukapu Street and a small shopping complex across the
street from the project site, zoned ML-20 by Ordinance No. 94 5 (REZ No. 757).
Businesses in the shopping complex include Sputnik's, Affordable Catering, Punahele
Bake Shop, and Dino's Fish and Tackle, among others. Immediately adjacent properties
are zoned RS-10 and in single-family residential uses. There are two properties zoned
MCX-20 located east of the project site on Lanikaula Street. At its June 2, 2006 meeting,
the Planning Commission voted to send an unfavorable recommendation to the County
Council for a change of zone for TMK: 2-2-36: 102 and 103 on Laukapu Street from RS-
10 to RM-2.5. The request is currently pending before the County Council.
All utilities and services are available to the site. Access to the project site is from
Lanikaula Street, a County roadway with an approximate right-of-way of 50 feet,
pavement width of approximately 22 feet, and graveled shoulder approximately 8 feet
wide fronting the site. There is a section of sidewalk fronting the shopping complex on
across the street on Lanikaula Street. As part of the rezoning approval, this property was
required to set aside a 5-foot road widening strip along Lanikaula Street. As such, the
applicant will be required to provide a 5-foot road widening setback along the Lanikaula
Street frontage. The Department of Public Works has stated that the applicant provide
improvements to the entire frontage along Lanikaula Street consisting of, but not limited
Stacy Higa, Chairman
and Members of the County Council

to, pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk, drainage improvements,
and any required utility relocation. County water is available to the site. The project will
connect to the County sewer system. Solid waste will be handled by commercial haulers.
If required, the applicant shall prepare a Solid Waste Management Plan. Electricity and
telephone services are available to the site.
The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be
rectified or which would render the land unusable. The project site is located within Zone
"X", area determined to be outside the 500-year floodplain. All development generated
storm run-off shall be disposed of on-site and not allowed onto adjacent properties or
roadways.
By letter dated August 9, 2005, the Department of Land and Natural Resources
Historic Preservation Division has stated that "residential development/urbanization has
altered the land; previous grubbing/grading has altered the land. Thus, we believe that
,no historic properties will be affected' by this undertaking." As the project site is
improved with a building, no professional surveys were conducted of the site. The
applicant has stated that "the subject property does not have any archaeological, cultural,
or historic sites on the National Register or Hawaii Register." No professional flora or
fauna surveys were conducted of the site. The applicant does not believe that rare or
endangered floral or faunal resources are on the site. The properties are located in an
urban setting in close proximity to other commercial and industrial uses and is currently
the site of an office building.
The subject request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statues,
relating to Coastal Zone Management. The project site is not located in the Special
Management Area. The properties are located approximately two miles from the
shoreline and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no
record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the
properties. No valued cultural, historical or natural resources exist on the properties and
there is no evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being
practiced on the site. Thus, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any
adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the area. Therefore, no action is
necessary to protect these rights.
Based on the above findings, approval of this change of zone request from
Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed
20,000 square feet (MCX-20) would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will
further benefit the general public.

Agricultural Project District Applications)
A. Subject Request
The proposed project is located at 455 & 459 E. Lanikaula Street, South Hilo,
Hawaii. T.M.K. 3/2-2-36:064 & 134. TMK 2-2-36:134 is 10,000 square feet
and TMK 2-2-36:064 is 12,900 square feet. The current zoning of the
property is RS-10. The owner is requesting a change in zoning from RS-10 to
MCX-'10. TMK 2-2-36:134 currently contains an existing single story
structure of approximately 2,400 square feet. TMK 2-2-36:064 is
unimproved, vacant land.
We are proposing leaving the existing structure on TMK 2-2-36:134, and
using it as office space. We anticipate that this office will house 6 employees
and have minimal client traffic.
We are proposing the construction of a new 5,000 square foot steel building
for TMK 2-2-36:064. The building will be used as office and storage.
The existing building on TMK 2-2-36:134 will be used by MCE International,
Inc. a consulting mechanical engineering firm which the owner of the property
is a share holder of MCE International, Inc. currently has 4 employees in the
Hilo Office.
The proposed building on TMK 2-2-36:064 will house Engineering Partners,
Inc. and NST Development, LLC. Engineering Partners, Inc. is a consulting
engineering firm which currently has 8 employees and which the owner of the
property is a share holder of. NST Development, LLC is a service/real estate
rental company with 1 employee and which the owner of the company is a
share holder of.
Except for NST Development, LLC, which will require storage space, a small
shop area, and a small office, MCE International, Inc. and Engineering
Partners, Inc. will be using the buildings for office space,
Due to the current economic trends, all three companies are growing and will
require this additional space to allow for modernization, employee comfort,
efficiency, and client comfort.
The owner is anticipating a total construction cost of about $800,000.00 upon
completion. Construction will commence upon obtaining the required
rezoning approvals and County/State permits required for construction. We
expect that the construction period will not exceed 5 years.
1
All parking and loading/unloading areas for the facility will be provided for
on site per the Planning Department's regulations.
The owner does not anticipate an increase in traffic in this area. Due to the
nature of the business that will occupy the existing building and proposed
building, there is very minimal client traffic expected. Employees will arrive
in the morning, leave for lunch, return after lunch and than leave for the day.
The working hours are between the hours of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday to
Friday. We anticipate that the impact on the current traffic load in the area
will be negligible.
The off-site infrastructure includes an existing County water system, County
sewer system, paved County standard road (Lanikaula Street), electricity,
telephone service, and cable service. The on-site infrastructure will include
utilizing the existing 5/8" water meter, connecting to the County sewer system
(the current building on TMK 2-2-36:134 is currently on cesspool), providing
new County standard side walk fronting the property, grading and paving of
the parking and loading/unloading areas, on-site storm water drainage system
if required by the County, and connection to the electric and phone system
along Lanikaula Street.
There is currently on immediate plans for road improvements to this area of
Lanikaula Street by the County of Hawaii Department of Public Works.
B. Conformance with State/County Plans
The subject site is designated Urban by the State Land Use Commission. No
State Land Use Permitting action is required.
The proposed re-zoning of this site complies with the goals, policies and
objectives of the County General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide
Map. The area in which the site is located is designated as Industrial. Within
this designation, mixed use industrial and commercial uses are allowed. It
should be noted that there are other properties in this vicinity that have the
same General Plan Designation and are zoned MCX, CG, CV & CN, which is
similar to the applicant's requested zoning.
The present zoning designation is RS-10. The General Plan Designation for
the proposed site is Industrial which is consistent with the proposed change in
zoning designation from RS-10 to MCX-10.
The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP) was adopted by the Planning
Commission and by Council Resolution in 1975. It was intended to further
define the General Plan and provide some short and middle range
implementation strategies of the General Plan. The Hilo CDP and its Zone
2
Guide Map suggests a RM-4 designation of this site, with the balance being
retained in its existing RS-10 zoning.
It should be noted that this Plan was adopted over thirty years ago, and the
General Plan has been revised three times since. During this period, there
have also been significant land use developments in the City of Hilo, such as
the shopping area in and around the Puainako/Kanoelehua Intersection,
expanded commercial uses near the education complexes, and expanded
commercial/industrial uses along the southern portion of the Waiakea House
lots area. These developments render many of the land use concepts
expressed in the CDP somewhat obsolete.
The site of the proposed change in zoning application is not in a Special
Management Area.
C. Physical Characteristics and Environmental Setting of the Property and
Surrounding Area
The subject property is located at 455 & 459 E. Lanikaula Street, further
designated as T.M.K. 3/2-2-36:064 & 134. The subject property is located in
the Waiakea House Lots Area. TMK 2-2-36:064 consists of 12,900 square
feet of land area and TMK 2-2-36:134 consists of 10,000 square feet of land
area. TMK 2-2-36:134 contains an existing single story structure
approximately 2,400 square feet. TMK 2-2-36:064 is vacant and unimproved.
The elevation of the site is approximately 50 feet above mean sea level. The
mean annual rainfall is about 136 inches per year. The wetter months tend to
occur between October and April. The mean annual temperature is about 73°
F. Wind patterns are generally trade winds (northeasterly) during the day and
westerly during the evenings.
The property is generally flat with a slight slope from south to north
(Lanikaula Street to Leilani Street).
The US Department of Agriculture Soil Survey Report classifies the soil as
Keaukaha Series (rKFD), which is extremely rocky muck, well drained, thin
organic soils overlying pahoehoe lava bedrock. Runoff is medium, and the
erosion hazard is slight.
The site is part of a built up urban area, therefore, the Land Study Bureau
provides no soil classification of the site and surrounding area.
The USGS map of Lava Hazard Zone for the Island of Hawaii classifies this
area as a Lava Hazard Zone 3, as is the case for all of the City of Hilo.
The subject property is located about 2 miles from the coast line.
3
The US Corps of Engineers Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) designates the
site in Zone X, areas outside of the 500 year flood plain.
There is no existing drainage ways on the site, and there is no anticipation that
any new drainage ways will be required.
Lanikaula Street serves as a major thoroughfare in this area. It connects two
major roadways, Kilauea Avenue and Kanoelehua Avenue. Since the subject
site is on Lanikaula Street, the ambient noise level from traffic is quite high.
The site is also near the Hilo International Airport and is subject to the noise
associated with the incoming and outgoing flights.
Given these factors, the applicants proposed zone designation change should
have no additional noise impact to the surrounding properties.
The proposed change in zone designation will not have an impact on the air
quality of the area. The proposed project will not house industries that are air
pollutant in nature, therefore, there will not be any additional air pollution
generated by any activities at this site.
There will not be any additional dust impact to the surrounding properties as a
result of this development, between the paved areas for parking and the
required landscaped areas, there will be no unimproved portion of the property
that will create or increase the dust that may already be generated in the
surrounding area.
The subject property does not have any archaeological, cultural, or historic
sites on the National Register of Hawaii Register.
The subject property has already been cleared of any floral/faunal resources;
therefore, there will be no impact on any native or exotic plants.
The property is located about 2 miles from the coastline and is in a developed
area; therefore the proposed change in zone designation and potential
development will have no scenic or coastal resource impact.
There are no traditional or customary native Hawaiian rights that are exercised
in the area of the proposed change of zone designation.
There are no existing public access to or along the shoreline or the mountain
areas and no knowledge of current or past public access being used.
The social settlement pattern for the area is a mixture of residential properties
and commercial/industrial properties; the proposed change of zone
designation is consistent with the current social settlement pattern of the area.
4
The proposed project is located within the City of Hilo and is afforded all the
economic resources available in the Hilo area. These include access to an
International Airport, The Port of Hilo, shopping, police and fire protection, a
work force, roads, public utilities, etc. There is no anticipation that this
project will be limited by or limit the existing economic resources of the area.
It is anticipated that the propose building will house a diverse group of
business adding to and enhancing the Economic Resources in the area.
The proposed project should not have an effect on the current land values in
the area, many properties have already been re-zoned to commercial/industrial
designations. Any increase in property values in the area has already been
realized and any increase in land values will be associated with how strong the
real estate market is in Hilo, not due to this proposed development.
The surrounding land uses consist of some single-family residences, ohana
lots, commercial properties, duplexes, industrial complexes, and churches.
The commercial properties include churches, offices, restaurants, convenience
stores, etc. The industrial properties include iron works, automotive repair,
electronics, contractors, manufacturing, etc. Business within 600 feet of this
property include, Hilo Iron Works, CAR auto repair, Sputniks, Affordable
Catering, Punahele Bake Shop, Ohana Greenhouse, Health Resources Inc.,
Apria Medical Resources, Dino's Fish and Tackle, Business Automation,
Hirayama Electric, Les's Carpet, Anna's Lounge, Ryans Okazuya, Leungs,
Bank of Hawaii, Kamaina Motors, Hawaii Farm Services, Dr. Lee-Ching, the
Kanoelehua Industrial Area, along with a few Industrial zoned properties that
have yet to be developed. The proposed development is consistent with the
current surrounding land uses.
The surrounding zoning includes MCX, CG, CV, CN, R, and RM. The
proposed development is consistent with the current surrounding zoning.
D. Public Facilities and Services
Lanikaula Street has a right of way of 50 feet, with pavement width of
approximately 22 feet. Fronting the site, there is a graveled shoulder,
approximately 8 feet wide. Directly across the street is a commercial
development with an MCX zoning that has a curb, sidewalk and gutter
installed. Lanikaula Street is designated as a collector road on the Zoning
Map. Such a designation would require a 60 foot right of way. Normally,
under such a circumstance, an additional 5 feet would be taken form both
sides of Lanikaula Street to create this 60 foot right of way. We do not
anticipate vehicular movements to and from the site to be substantial.
Generally, they will be associated with employee movements, and will occur
5
between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday to Friday. Client traffic
will be minimal and will occur only during business hours.
The County water line fronts the subject site. Each property is serviced by an
existing 5/8" water meter. There is no anticipation for any additional water
use, however, if the need arises, there is adequate water supply on Lanikaula
Street and any meter upgrades required by the Department of Water Supply
will be complied with.
There is an existing sewer main and sewer laterals fronting each property.
The existing building on TMK 2-2-36:134 is using a cesspool for sewage
disposal. The existing structure and the new structure will be connected to the
existing sewer laterals. The existing cesspool will be abandoned per the State
of Hawaii Department of Health.
All solid waste generated by the construction of the new structure will be
removed and handled by a commercial hauler and disposed of in an authorized
landfill. All solid waste associated with any operation will be handled
through a commercial hauler and disposed of into an authorized landfill. The
size of this development is very small; therefore, this development will have
little or no impact on the existing solid waste situation.
There is no anticipation that additional fire or police protection will be
required for this development. There are two fire stations located within 5
minutes of the project site and the police station is located less than 2 miles
from the site.
There is no anticipation that there will be a need for additional schools or
parks due to this development. The proposed development is not a residential
development.
Telephone, electricity and cable are available along Lanikaula Street. The
businesses will utilizes these utilities as needed.
E. Environmental Assessment and Analysis
The intent of this project is to provide for long term sustainability. The long
term sustainability will result due to the use or land that has already been
developed this will help alleviate the need for opening up new land for
development. As these businesses grow, the requirement for space both land
and building becomes an important factor to the health of the business. With
out growth, a business will die along with the opportunities it brings to its
employees and its community. This development will provide a home for
these growing Hilo based businesses. Fee simple office space in Hilo is
difficult to come. As part of taking our companies future into our own hands,
we opted to invest in our future and create a commercial complex to allow our
6
companies to attain their full potential. Most businesses today are unable to
expand or even get started due to the short supply of commercially zoned
space. Compounding the problem is the adjacent Industrial areas that are on
lease land. Most leases will be expiring within the next 5 to 10 years. This
uncertainty is not conducive to stability or sustainability. This proposed
development will eliminate the uncertainty and allow for stability and
sustainability. The development will have a useful life similar to any other
structure in the Hilo area of the same type of construction. Therefore the use
of environmental resources will satisfy both the short term and long term use
of the existing structure and the proposed new structure.
The development will also eliminate the use of the existing cesspool that will
have a positive long term impact on the environment.
There are no foreseeable negative impacts associated with this development
due to the size of the proposed development. The proposed development will
enhance the area by providing for a side walk in front of the property,
providing for paved parking, landscaping, provide onsite drainage as required,
and converting from an existing cesspool to the County sewer system.
The only two alternatives available to this project is to do nothing or to build
an additional home. Either option will not help the growth or development of
these businesses. There are many more properties in Hilo with an RS zoning
designation that there are properties with a commercial zoning designation
that can be used as described in this report.
There are no irreversible and irretrievable commitments of natural resources
that would be involved if the proposed action is implemented. The land has
already been developed.
F. General Discussions
• The LUPAG map designates the site as Industrial, a designation that
allows for the proposed zone change to MCX. There are several other
properties within close proximity to this site that currently have similar
zoning as is being requested.
• The requested zoning would be consistent with the goals, policies, and
standards of the Economic and Land Use Elements of the General
Plan. Specifically, the more pertinent ones follow:
o Provide residents with opportunities to improve their quality of
life.
o Economic development and improvement shall be in balance
with the physical and social environments of the island of
Hawaii.
7
o The County of Hawaii shall strive for diversity and stability in
its economic system.
o The County shall provide an economic environment which
allows new, expanded, or improved economic opportunities
that are compatible with the County's natural and social
environment.
o The County of Hawaii shall strive for an economic climate
which provides its residents an opportunity for choice of
occupation.
o The County of Hawaii shall strive for diversification of its
economy by strengthening existing industries and attracting
new endeavors.
• This request will allow for an existing businesses to flourish, this helps
in the diversification of the local economy. Minimal to no impact on
the County's natural and social environment is expected as a result of
this development.
• Land use elements.
o Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and
mix and in keeping with the social, cultural, and physical
environments of the County.
o Zone urban and rural type of uses in areas with ease of access
to community services and employment centers and with
adequate public utilities and facilities.
o Promote and encourage the rehabilitation and use of urban and
rural areas which are serviced by basic community facilities
and utilities.
o Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the
existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community,
region and County.
o Encourage the development and maintenance of communities
meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical
and social environments.
• Land Use - Commercial Development
o Provide for commercial developments that maximize
convenience to users.
o Provide commercial developments that complement the overall
pattern of transportation and land usage within the island's
regions, communities and neighborhoods.
• Policies
8
o Achieve a broader diversification of local industries by
providing opportunities for new industries and strengthening
existing industries.
o Locate industrial area convenient to transportation facilities,
and provide a variety of industrial zoned districts and lot sizes,
depending on the needs of the industries and the communities.
o Improve the aesthetic quality of industrial sites and protect
amenities of adjacent areas by requiring landscaping, open
spaces, buffer zones, and design guidelines.
o Industrial and commercial development shall be located in area
adequately served by transportation, utilities, and other
essential infrastructure.
o Industrial-commercial mixed use districts shall be provided in
appropriate locations.
o Distribution of commercial areas shall be such as to best meet
the demands of neighborhood, community and regional needs.
o Development of commercial facilities should be designed to fit
into the locale with minimal intrusion while providing the
desired services. Appropriate infrastructure and design
concerns shall be incorporated into the review of such
developments.
o Encourage commercial areas to develop on an axis
perpendicular to the highway.
• Standards
o Commercial development shall be located in areas adequately
served by transportation, utilities, and other amenities.
o Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be provided.
o Commercial development shall maintain or improve the quality
of the present environment through the consideration of visual,
access, landscaping, and other design elements in their
development.
o Preference shall be given to commercial lands with reasonable
level topography.
• Courses of Action (South Hilo)
o Continue to pursue the rehabilitation, renewal, and
redevelopment of downtown Hilo. Continual improvement of
other existing commercial areas must also be assured.
o Commercial zoned lands in proximity to the University of
Hawaii at Hilo shall be allocated as the need arises.
o Appropriately located commercial lands shall be allocated as
the need arises.
9
o Encourage the centralization of industrial activities in the
Kanoelehua Industrial area. Noxious industries shall be
located away from residential and related areas.
o Identify sites suitable for future industrial activities as the need
arises.
o Allocate appropriately zoned lands.
o Industrial-commercial mixed use districts may be provided at
appropriate locations.
• As the City of Hilo continues to grow, there is a need for more
commercially zoned lands. This is evident by some of the recent
commercial re-zonings and their development on the outskirt of
traditional central business core of Hilo. This request also reflects this
demand.
The subject site, in addition to attempting to meet this need, also
fulfills the policies and standards articulated in the General Plan as
pointed out above. The site is already serviced by adequate
infrastructure. County water and sewer lines are already available.
Police and fire protective services are available within two miles of the
sites. This development should not require additional public services
to be provided.
The site does not have any on-site development constraints. The land
is level, and there are no flood or other hazardous conditions that
would render the site a developmental problem and pose a burden to
the public agencies. Further, with the provision of the additional 5
foot right of way, this development could actually facilitate the long
term collector road objective sought by the Zoning Map.
Being developed, the prospects of the site serving as a habitat for rare
or endangered plant or animal life appear remote. Likewise, surface
and subsurface archaeological remains do not appear to be likely on
this site.
The use is also compatible with the surrounding area. Although there
are residences in the area, there are many businesses in the area also.
There are churches, industrial buildings, commercial complex,
apartments, restaurants, office buildings, and manufacturing facilities
all within 600 feet of the site. The area is currently undergoing a
change from residential to commercial; therefore, this project is
compatible with the current trend in the area.

TAX MAP KEY (3) 2-2-036:064 AND 134
We have reviewed the subject application and have the following comments and conditions.
Water is available from an existing 8-inch waterline within Lanikaula Street fronting the subject
parcels. Parcel 134 is currently served by an existing 5/8-inch meter (Account No. 110-85100), which
is limited to a maximum of 600 gallons per day. Parcel 64 does not have an existing service with the
Department.
The Department has no objection to the proposed change of zone application subject to the applicant
understanding and accepting the following conditions:
1. The Department requests that the applicant submit estimated maximum daily water usage
calculations, prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Hawaii, for review and
approval. The water usage calculations should include the estimated peak flow in gallons per
minute and the total estimated maximum daily water usage in gallons per day, including all
irrigation use.
At a minimum, a new 5/8-inch meter (limited to a maximum of 600 gallons per day) will need to
be installed for Parcel 64 as the Department's Rules and Regulations do not allow two parcels to
share the same 5/8-inch meter. The applicant will be required to remit the prevailing facilities
charge and service lateral installation charge, which are subject to change, of $1,190.00 and
$2,600.00, respectively, for the installation of the 5/8-inch meter for Parcel 64. The meter will be
installed by the Department.
Based on the water usage calculations provided above, if the new 5/8-inch meter cannot
accommodate the additional estimated demand, a larger or additional meter will need to be
installed and remittance of the prevailing facilities charge, which is subject to change, will be
required. Water / EXHIBIT

2. The proposed zoning will require the installation of a reduced pressure type backflow prevention
assembly, within five (5) feet of the-meter on private property, for each meter installed to the
subject parcels, including the existing meter. The installation of the backflow prevention
assembly(s) must be inspected and approved by the Department before water service can be
granted.
3. Please be informed that the nearest fire hydrants capable of providing fire protection to the subject
parcels are not within the distance required per the Department's Water System Standards.
Therefore, the applicant will be required to install a fire hydrant fronting the subject parcels.
4. Subject to other agencies' requirements to construct improvements within the road right-of-way
fronting the property affected by the proposed development, the applicant shall be responsible for
the relocation and adjustment of the Department's affected water system facilities, should they be
necessary.

COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
NST DEVELOPMENT, LLC
CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION (REZ 06-000043)
Upon careful review of the request against the guidelines for granting a change of zone,
the Planning Director recommends that a favorable recommendation of the Change of Zone
from Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed
20,000 square feet (MCX-20) be forwarded to the County Council. Since this
recommendation is made without the benefit of public testimony, the Director reserves the right
to modify and/or alter this recommendation based upon additional information presented at the
public hearing. This favorable recommendation is based on the following findings:
The applicant is requesting a change of zone from Single-Family Residential
10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed 20,000 square feet (MCX-
20) for two parcels. Parcel 64 is approximately 12,900 square feet in size and is vacant.
The applicant proposes to construct a 5,000-square foot steel-framed building on this
parcel to be used as office and storage space for an engineering firm. Parcel 134 is
approximately 10,000 square feet in size and is improved with a 2,400-square foot single-
story building. This structure will be used by a mechanical engineering firm for office
space and storage. The estimated cost of the project is $800,000.00.
In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable
goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only
through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions
can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the
General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and
decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the
County.
The Change of Zone request from Single-Family Residential 10,000 square
feet (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed 20,000 square feet (MCX-20) will
conform to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan Economic and
Land Use Elements. The General Plan is intended to be used as a policy guide for the
coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the County. It sets forth goals,
policies, standards and courses of action to accommodate growth without congestion, to
designate and preserve the lands needed for residential use, commercial and visitor
services, industry, agriculture and open space, and to coordinate these uses with the
County's service and circulation systems. The overall goals, policies and standards are
set forth to physically plan the lands in the County in the best interest of the island's
residents. Land Use is one of the principal focal points of public concern and policy.
The Land Use Element provides the primary basis for direct control and guidance of
publicly and privately owned resources.
The request conforms to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan in
that the proposed development will be developed in an area adequately served by
necessary services such as water, utilities, sewers and transportation systems. The
proposed project also conforms to the Land Use - Industrial sub-element which states that
"Industrial development shall be located in areas adequately served by transportation,
utilities and other amenities."
The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General
Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated
growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical
relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban
and non-urban form for areas within the County. The project area is designated Industrial
on the LUPAG Map. This industrial designation includes uses such as manufacturing
and processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities and light industrial
uses. The MCX zoning would be consistent with the Industrial designation on the
LUPAG Map for this area of Hilo.
The State Land Use designation for the subject property is Urban. The Hilo
Community Development Plan (CDP) adopted in 1975 suggests the retention of
residential uses in this area. However, this area is transitioning to commercial and light
industrial uses. The advantage of this area is its location in close proximity to water, air
transportation terminals, harbor facilities and the residential population of Hilo. The
proposed change of zone would complement the existing industrial and commercial land
-2-
uses that already exist in this area and will provide for an orderly development of the
area.
The MCX zoning designation was created when the Zoning Code was amended in
1996. In accordance with Section 25-5-130, Hawaii County Zoning Code, this district
would allow a mix of light industrial and commercial uses. The intent is to provide for
areas of diversified businesses and employment opportunities by permitting a broad range
of uses, without exposing non-industrial uses to unsafe and unhealthy environments.
The project site consists of two parcels. Parcel 64 is approximately 12,900 square
feet in size, fronts Lanikaula Street and is vacant. Parcel 134, the flag lot to the rear of
Parcel 64, is approximately 10,000 square feet in size and improved with a 2,400-square
foot single-story building. The properties are located at an elevation of approximately
fifty feet above mean sea level. The land uses in the immediate area are a mix of
commercial, industrial and residential uses. Uses nearby include a doctor's office on the
comer of Lanikaula Street and Laukapu Street and a small shopping complex across the
street from the project site, zoned ML-20 by Ordinance No. 94 5 (REZ No. 757).
Businesses in the shopping complex include Sputnik's, Affordable Catering, Punahele
Bake Shop, and Dino's Fish and Tackle, among others. Immediately adjacent properties
are zoned RS-10 and in single-family residential uses. There are two properties zoned
MCX-20 located east of the project site on Lanikaula Street. At its June 2, 2006 meeting,
the Planning Commission voted to send an unfavorable recommendation to the County
Council for a change of zone for TMK: 2-2-36: 102 and 103 on Laukapu Street from RS-
10 to RM-2.5. The request is currently pending before the County Council.
All utilities and services are available to the site. Access to the project site is
from Lanikaula Street, a County roadway with an approximate right-of-way of 50 feet,
pavement width of approximately 22 feet, and graveled shoulder approximately 8 feet
wide fronting the site. There is a section of sidewalk fronting the shopping complex on
across the street on Lanikaula Street. As part of the rezoning approval, this property was
required to set aside a 5-foot road widening strip along Lanikaula Street. As such, the
applicant will be required to provide a 5-foot road widening setback along the Lanikaula
Street frontage. The Department of Public Works has stated that the applicant provide
-3-
improvements to the entire frontage along Lanikaula Street consisting of, but not limited
to, pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk, drainage improvements,
and any required utility relocation. County water is available to the site. The project will
connect to the County sewer system. Solid waste will be handled by commercial haulers.
If required, the applicant shall prepare a Solid Waste Management Plan. Electricity and
telephone services are available to the site.
The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be
rectified or which would render the land unusable. The project site is located within
Zone "X", area determined to be outside the 500-year floodplain. All development
generated storm run-off shall be disposed of on-site and not allowed onto adjacent
properties or roadways.
By letter dated August 9, 2005, the Department of Land and Natural Resources
Historic Preservation Division has stated that `residential development/urbanization has
altered the land; previous grubbing/grading has altered the land. Thus, we believe that
,no historic properties will be affected' by this undertaking." As the project site is
improved with a building, no professional surveys were conducted of the site. The
applicant has stated that "the subject property does not have any archaeological, cultural,
or historic sites on the National Register or Hawaii Register." No professional flora or
fauna surveys were conducted of the site. The applicant does not believe that rare or
endangered floral or faunal resources are on the site. The properties are located in an
urban setting in close proximity to other commercial and industrial uses and is currently
the site of an office building.
The subject request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised
Statues, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The project site is not located in the
Special Management Area. The properties are located approximately two miles from the
shoreline and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no
record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the
properties. No valued cultural, historical or natural resources exist on the properties and
there is no evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being
practiced on the site. Thus, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any
-4-
adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the area. Therefore, no action is
necessary to protect these rights.
Based on the above findings, approval of this change of zone request from
Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial
Mixed 20,000 square feet (MCX-20) would result in an appropriate land use pattern that
will further benefit the general public.
The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map),
Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code, is provided for your favorable
consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill.
