Communication 825 Bi11360 Page 2 6. The approval of the Change of Zone request from Single Family Residential 10,000-square feet (RS-]0) to Residential-Commercial Mixed Use 10,000-square feet (RCX-10) would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the public based on the following: 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 Medium Density Urban. Surrounding land uses are zones Residential and Commercial Mixed Uses. Because surrounding land uses, designations and zoning are compatible with the RCX zoning, this request is to be considered as conceptually consistent with the General Plan. • The County Zoning for the parcel is RS-10. The State Land Use Designation is also "Urban". The proposed use compliments both classifications. • The Land Use Study Bureau's Overall Master Productivity Rating for the parcel 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 1/2 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 fourteen conditions contained in Bill No. 360 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. 360. During discussion, Mr. Yuen explained that the subject parcel is presently non-conforming and further clarified which commercial business uses are allowed in residential areas. Mr. Fuke clarified questions in relation to a drainage channel located on the parcel and explained the applicant's intent to open an engineering business on the site and future construction plans.
