Pete Hoffinann, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 As the property has been improved, no professional archaeological survey was conducted of the site. On January 3, 2006, the applicant requested a letter of "no effect" from the State DLNR-HPD. According to the applicant, there are no lmown rare or endangered plant or animal species on the site. No professional flora or fauna surveys were conducted of the property. The applicant does not believe that raze or endangered floral or faunal resources aze on the site. The property is located in an urban setting in close proximity to the airport and aviation related uses and was previously cleazed and used as a dwelling site. The subject request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statues, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The property is not located in the Special Management Area. The project site is located more than one mile from the shoreline and will not be impacted by coastal hazazd and beach erosion. There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain azeas that traverses the property. No valued cultural, historical or natural resources exist on the property 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 Limited Industrial -20,000 square feet (ML-20) to an Industrial-Commercial Mixed 20,000 squaze feet (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.
