Communication 822 Bill 357 Page 2 6. The approval of the Change of Zone request from Single Family Residential-10, 000 square feet (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use 20,000-square feet (MCX-20) would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the public based on the following: • The rezoning action complements the Economic Element goals, objectives, and/or policies articulated in the Hawaii County General plan, particularly those relating to diversification of economic activities and providing land for such uses. The subject request proposes to develop commercial uses on the subject parcel The rezoning action complements to the Land Use Element of the Hawaii County General Plan and the LUPAG Map designation for the area. The LUPAG Designation for the area is Industrial. Surrounding land uses are zones Industrial, Industrial- Commereial Mixed, Commercial, and Residential. Because surrounding land uses, designations and zoning are compatible with the MCX zoning, this request is to be considered as conceptually consistent with the General Plan. • The Land Use Study Bureau's Overall Master Productivity Rating for the pazcel is "Urban". • The approval of the Change of Zone Request will not be violative of Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The property is not situated within the Special Management Area. It is located approximately two miles away from the coastline. • As the site is already fully developed, no archeological sites, cultural, historical resources, nor species are expected to be adversely affected because of this request. • The Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) identifies the parcel "X" outside the 500-year flood plain. 7. Requisite of the Planning Director's favorable recommendation for the Change of Zone request are approximately fifteen conditions contained in Bill No. 357 that delineate access routes and other requirements for the proposed project. At today's meeting, Chris Yuen, Director of the Planning Department and Sidney Fuke, representative of the applicant, provided this Committee with background information about the origins and purpose of Bill No. 357. During discussion, Mr. Yuen explained that the subject parcel is in area with mixed commercial- industrial uses. As such, the MCX request is considered consistent with the LUPAG Industrial zoning.
