Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members: Change of Zone Application (REZ 93-2) Applicant: Dennis K. Kauinui Request: A-20a to FA-la Tax ManKey• 1-6-141.10 The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on March 20, 1998, voted to recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to change the district classification for approximately 5.476 acres of land from Agricultural (A-20a) to Family Agricultural (FA-1a). The application was originally requested from A-20a to A-la and relative to County Council's Bill No. 126. The property is located on the east side of the Hilo-Volcano Highway, along E. Kipimana Road and Shipman Road, approximately 1,000 feet from its intersection with E. Kipimana Road at Keaau, Puna, Hawaii. The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the change of zone: 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 be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County.
