Communication 88 Bi1127 Page 2 of 4 4. The cost of construction is approximately $450,000 for the building and $100,000 for site work. 5. Access to the project site is proposed from Kanoelehua Avenue, asix-lane State highway and a divided median in the project area. Along the section of Kanoelehua Avenue the right-of--way is 120 feet and a sidewalk fronts the project site. 6. County water is available to the property via a 12-inch waterline fronting the property. The project will connect to the County sewer line and will address the location of existing wastewater systems. Telephone and electrical services are also available to the property. 7. The Planning Director recommended favorably on this request based on the following: • The proposed change of zone request will conform to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements. • The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map designates this area as Industrial, which uses include manufacturing and processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities and light industrial uses. The ML zoning would be consistent with the Industrial designation. • The State Land Use designation for the property is Urban. The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP) adopted in 1975 suggests retaining residential uses in the azea, however, this area is transitioning to commercial and light industrial and the proposed change of zone would complement the existing industrial and commercial uses that already exist and provides an orderly development of the area. • The Change of Zone request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes relating to Coastal Zone Management as the subject property is not located in the Special Management area. The site is located less than one (1) mile from the shoreline and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. • There are no valued cultural, historical or natural resources that exist on the property and no evidence of any traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site. It is not anticipated the proposed request will have any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the area. • Requisite of the Planning Director's favorable recommendation for the change of zone request, are twelve (12) conditions contained in Bill No. 27 which outline specific requirements for the proposed project. At the February 6, 2007 Planning Committee meeting, there were no statements received from the public. PC Report No. 10
