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 98-6) Applicant: Seawind Holding, Inc. Request: RS-10 to MCX-20 Tax Map Key: 2-2-37:29 The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on July 17, 1998, voted to recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to change the district classification for approximately 21,050 square feet of land from Single Family Residential (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX-20). The property is located on the west side of Kanoelehua Avenue approximately 200 feet north of its intersection with Lanikaula Street and adjacent to Osaka's Restaurant, Waiakea House Lots, Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii. The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the change of zone: The applicant's overall objective is to allow industrial-commercial mixed uses on his property. Proposed uses include a restaurant, convenience store, and/or retail outlets. 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 Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 similar areas in the County, but ultimately, on the future development of the whole island. The proposed change of zone request would further the County's goals of providing an economic environment which allows new or existing businesses to expand and diversify the County's economic base, and thereby also increase the choice of occupations. The proposed request would be consistent with the following goals and policies of the Economic Element of the General Plan: * Provide residents with opportunities to improve their quality of life. * Economic development and improvement shall be in balance with the physical and social environments of the island of Hawaii. * The County of Hawaii shall strive for diversity and stability in its economic system. * The County shall provide an economic environment which allows new, expanded, or improved economic opportunities that are compatible with the County's natural and social environment. * The County of Hawaii shall strive for an economic climate which provides its residents an opportunity for choice of occupation. The proposed request would also be consistent with the goals and policies of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Land use is one of the principal focal points of public concern and policy. The Land Use Element provides the primary basis for direct control and guidance of publicly and privately owned resources. It is also intended to be used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the County. It sets forth goals, policies, standards and courses of action to accommodate growth without congestion, to designate and preserve the lands needed for residential use, commercial and visitor services, industry, agriculture and open space, and to coordinate these uses with the County's service and circulation systems. The overall Land Use goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. These state the following: * Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County. s Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 * Zone urban and rural types of uses in areas with ease of access to community services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities. * Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County. * The County shall encourage the development and maintenance of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social environment. * Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation, district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access and public need. The proposed request would also complement the following goals and policies of the Industrial Element. * Designate and allocate industrial areas in appropriate proportions and in keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County. * It shall be the policy of the County to achieve a broader diversification of local industries by providing opportunities for new industries and strengthening existing industries. * Through its zoning powers, the County shall locate industrial areas convenient to transportation facilities, and provide a variety of industrial zoned districts and lot sizes, depending on the needs of the industries and the communities. * Industrial development shall be located in areas adequately served by transportation, utilities and other amenities. Redeveloping or newly developing areas shall be developed in concert with programmed public and privately funded infrastructure to meet the expected needs. * Topography of industrial land shall be reasonably level. * Industrial development shall be conveniently located to its labor resource. Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 * Buffer zones shall be established between industrial and adjacent noncompatible uses of land. * The County shall identify sites suitable for future industrial activities The proposed request would also complement the following goals and policies of the Commercial Element. * Provide for commercial developments that maximize convenience to users. * Provide commercial developments that complement the overall pattern of transportation and land usage within the island's regions, communities, and neighborhoods. * Commercial facilities shall be developed in areas adequately served by necessary services, such as water, utilities, sewers, and transportation systems. * Distribution of commercial areas shall be such as to best meet the demands of neighborhood, commercial and regional needs. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan represents the document's goals, policies, standards and courses of action to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the spatial relationships among various land uses and the expressed policy statements of the document itself. The LUPAG Map, in essence, establishes the basic land use pattern for areas within the County. The subject rezoning action conforms to the LUPAG Map which designates the area for Industrial. The Industrial designation fronts Kanoelehua Avenue from Kuawa Street (makai) to Puainako Street (mauka), including the eastern side (airport) of Kanoelehua Avenue. This Industrial designation includes uses such as manufacturing and processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities and light industrial uses. The proposed site would be suitable and allow for the applicant's proposed mixed industrial commercial uses. The rezoning reclassification would be a reasonable expansion of industrial activities associated with this designation and the existing industrial uses in the area. In addition, the proposed change of zone would complement the existing industrial and commercial land uses and will provide for an orderly development of the area. The Industrial-Commercial Mixed district (MCX) is a new zoning district, and according to Section 25-5-130, Hawaii County Zoning Code, would allow mixing of industrial and commercial uses. The intent is to provide for areas of diversified Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 5 businesses and employment opportunities by permitting a broad range of uses, without exposing non-industrial uses to unsafe and unhealthy environments. Most recently, TMK 2-2-32:23, 101, 102, 103 and 104, site of the Hilo Self Storage and Business Center on the corner of Kalanikoa and Kuawa Streets approximately one mile from the subject property, was rezoned to MCX-20 effective August 13, 1997. The project site is situated within close proximity to schools, commercial areas, employment centers and public safety services. The property is located within an area that has been extensively developed for commercial and industrial uses. Adjacent lands to the north and west are zoned RS-10 and include single family dwellings. Adjacent lands to the south are zoned RS-10 and ML-20 and include Restaurant Osaka and Music Exchange. Magoo's Auto Parts is located approximately 200 feet north of the subject property, and Stationer's and Hawaii Printing are approximately 400 feet north of the site. Fire and emergency services are provided by the Waiakea Fire Station located approximately 1.4 miles east of the subject property. All utilities and services which are essential to accommodate urban development are or will be made available to the project site. According to the Department of Water Supply, water is available to the site through an existing 12-inch waterline along Kanoelehua Avenue fronting the property with a connection size subject to review and approval during the construction design phase of the proposed development. According to the Department of Water Supply, the State Department of Transportation's Kanoelehua Widening Project includes the necessary installation of storm drains and the relocation of a portion of the existing 12-inch waterline. The State Department of Transportation will not approve permits "for work within a State right-of-way" for a period of one year after final approval has been granted to the contractor and upon completion of the above improvements. Access to the subject property is from Kanoelehua Avenue, which is under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Transportation. The applicant would be required to comply and meet with all applicable requirements of the State Department of Transportation Highways Division and coordinate the driveway access to Kanoelehua Avenue with the Department of Transportation's Widening Project. In addition, the applicant shall comply with all other applicable Department of Public Works requirements, including wastewater disposal and solid waste management. All other utilities and services are available to the subject property. The project area has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. The subject property is relatively level. According to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), the project area is within Zone X, an area determined to be outside the 500-year flood Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 6 plain. Any new construction or improvements to the project area must comply with Chapter 27 of the County Code relating to Flood Hazard Control. The subject property has been previously developed and therefore, no endangered or threatened species of floral or fauna nor any archaeological sites are anticipated to be found on the subject property. Based on the above findings, this request for a Change of Zone from a Single Family Residential (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX-20) would result in an appropriate land use pattern and further the convenience, necessity and general welfare of the public. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-33, the City of Hilo Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted. We are enclosing a copy of the application and a copy of the staff background for your information.

C-936 (B-277'} REZONING REQUEST SEAWIND HOLDING, INC. TAX MAP KEY: 3/2-2-37:29 L INTRODUCTION The applicant, Seawind Holding, Inc., is requesting to rezone subject property from Single Family Residence (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed District (MCX-20) to allow the requested commercial use similar to other commercial business in the near vicinity. U. PROJECT LOCATION The subject parcel is located along the west side of Kanoelehua Avenue, approximately two hundred (200) feet south of the intersection of Leilani Street and Kanoelehua Avenue. (Figure 1) There is a restaurant, Osaka's, and Music Exchange, adjacent to the south of subject property and a residence to the north side of subject property. Less than two hundred (200) feet to the north of subject property is Magoo's Auto Parts, Hawaii Printing and Stationer's. Less than two hundred (200) feet to the south of subject property is Osaka's Restaurant and Leung's Restaurant. The site consists of twenty one thousand fifty (21,050) square feet. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Project Concept and Components An existing one thousand (1000) square foot two-story dwelling with garage and out- building situated on the site would be removed. A building consisting of 7,968 square feet would be constructed along with 20 paved parking stalls once project is completed. Applicant proposes to lease building to provide for a convenience store, restaurant, and/or retail outlets. Landscaping would be improved. B. Project Timetable and Cost The applicant would like to complete the project within a two and one half year span. The estimated permit processing and construction time needed to remove existing structures and build new building would be approximately two and one half years. The estimated cost of the building is anticipated to be approximately $200,000.00, inclusive of the parking improvements. IV. INSTITUTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS A. State Land Use The subject site is designated Urban by the State Land Use Commission. No State land use permitting action is required. B. County General Plan The County General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map designates the site "Industrial." The requested zoning would be consistent with this designation. It should be noted that there is a site in the city of Hilo that was recently zoned into the MCX-20 district. The General Plan LUPAG map designation for that site was also Industrial. C. Community Development Plan The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP) was adopted by the Planning Commission and by the Council Resolution in 1975. It was intended to further define the General Plan and provide some short and middle range implementation strategies of the General Plan. The Hilo SDP and it's Zone Guide Map suggests an Industrial Zoning for this site. It should be noted that this Plan was adopted over twenty (20) years ago, and the General Plan has been revised twice since that time. During this period, there have also been Significant land use developments in the City of Hilo, such as the shopping area in and around the Puainako/Kanoelehua Intersection, expanded commercial uses near the edu- cational complexes, and expanded commercial /industrial uses along the southern portion of the W aiakea Houselots area. These developments may render many of the land use concepts espoused in the CDP somewhat obsolete. D. County Zoning The County Zoning of this site is Industrial. The requested MCX zoning would allow Commercial building usage. However, compliance with other requirements of the Zoning Code must still be demonstrated. In this case, parking would be required at a ratio of one parking stall per every 400 square feet of building space. The applicant proposes to have at least 20 paved parking stalls on site. All other applicable zoning and building code requirements such as setback would be complied with. E. Other Permitting Considerations The site is not located within the County Special Management Area (SMA). As such, no SMA Use Permit would be required. However, as noted earlier, other permits would still be required. These would be of the "ministerial" variety, such as plan approval, building permit, and the like. V. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS A. General Description The elevation of the site is approximately twenty (20) feet above mean sea level. The mean annual rainfall is about one hundred thirty six (136) inches. The wetter months tend to occur between October through April. The mean annual temperature is about seventy- three (73) degrees Fahrenheit. Wind patterns are generally tradewinds (easterly) during the day, and westerly during the evenings. The site is rectangular in shape. It has a one thousand (1,000) foot frontage and runs two hundred ten (210) feet to the rear. There is an existing residence, garage, and shed. These structures will be removed. There is no landscaping. There is a gravel driveway to the garage. B. Soils and Topography The topography of the site gently slopes in a westerly direction. The gravel driveway portion is level with the residence. The existing garage area is slightly lower than the front of the property. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Survey Report classifies the soil as Keaukaha Series (rKFD), which is extremely rocky muck, well drained, thin organic soils overlying pahcehoe lava bedrock. Runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is slight. Because the site is part of a built up urban area, the Land Study Bureau provides no soil classification of the site and surrounding area. C. Natural Hazards 1. Drainage The US Corps of Engineers Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) designates the site in Zone X, areas outside the 500-year flood plain. There are no existing drainage-ways on the site. Should drainage measures be required to accommodate the additional parking are, such will be implemented in conjunction with the building permit process. 2. Tsunami Hazard The site is outside of the Civil Defense Tsunami Evacuation Zone. 3. Volcanic and Earthquake Hazards The United State Geological Survey (USGS) classifies the area as Lava Flow Hazard Zone 3, on a scale of ascending risk 9 to 1. The entire City of Hilo falls in this category. There is very little that can be done to mitigate this situation and reflects an ongoing threat to all residents and businesses in the Hilo area. The entire island of Hawaii falls within Earthquake Zone 3, according to the County Building Code. As such, certain structural requirements will be needed and taken during the building permit process to address this seismic hazard. D. Flora and Fauna As the site has been used as a residence for over forty years, the only vegetation of the site are introduced landscaped plants. The probability of discovering rare or endangered plant life appears remote. Further, as the site has been disturbed, it is very unlikely that the site would currently serve as a habitat for rare or endangered animal species. E. Historic/Archaeological Resources Again, because the entire site has been previously disturbed, it is very unlikely that surface and subsurface remains would be found on the site. Further, the existing structures of the property are not deemed to be significant to warrant inclusion on the State or National Register of Historic Sites. F. Water and Coastal Resources The Hilo area is underlain by basal groundwater. The Wailoa River is approximately 2 miles for the subject site. The ocean is located about 2 miles away. As the project will not be sewered , there should be very little, if any, impacts to the coastal waters resulting form this project. Being a non-shoreline parcel, it should also not have any impacts to existing or planned access to the shoreline. G. Air Quality, Noise, and Dust Kanoelehua Avenue serves as a major thoroughfare in this area. Since the subject site abuts Kanoelehua Avenue, the ambient noise level from traffic is quite high. The site is also proximate to the airport, there is some noise from incoming flights is this area. Given those factors, the applicant's proposed building should have negligible noise impacts to surrounding properties. The only additional noise would be associated with vehicular traffic from employees and patrons of the applicant's during the day. The applicant's commercial use should not generate any direct air quality impacts. The only discernible air quality impact could be associated with the vehicular traffic to and from the site. The required parking area will be paved with an all-weather, dust free surface. The balance of the site will be landscaped. As such, with the exception of construction dust in the beginning, long term dust generated by the project should be minimal. H. Scenic and Visual Considerations In the Natural Beauty element for the General Plan, there are sites or areas listed as being a scenic resource. The subject site is not listed as a scenic site. However, areas proximate to the site, such as the Wailoa River, Liliuoukalani Park, Mauna Kea, and so forth are listed. The proposed development would not have any visual impacts on those and other listed scenic resources in the area. As the project would result with a new building, and removal of the existing buildings, there should also be minimal, if any, visual impacts to the surrounding area and neighbors. VI. Social and Related Considerations A. Surrounding Land Uses The mixture of land uses in this area suggests an area in transition. While there are a number of single-family residences to the rear of this area, there are also a number of commercial sites to the south side, north side and east side of site. Most of these uses are consistent with the present zoning - Industrial and MCX-20. The mixture of uses suggests an area in transition, and the proposed development would not be incongruous with that pattern. B. Economic Impacts The requested zoning itself would have a positive economic impact by creating new jobs. There should be minimal real property tar consequences for surrounding properties, considering the existing commercial activity currently in operation. VII. INFRASTRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS A. Road The subject site fronts on Kanoelehua Avenue, which is a State of Hawaii highway. Kanoelehua Avenue has a right of way of one hundred twenty-five (125) feet; it has four lanes. Fronting the site, there is a graveled shoulder approximately eight (S) feet wide. There are currently no sidewalks in this area; however, let it be noted that sidewalks are in the process of being installed along Kanoelehua Avenue in front of this site. B. Water The County water fine fronts the subject site. The site is serviced by a standard 314 inch meter. Should there be a need to upgrade this meter to accommodate the commercial use, the applicant will make such an upgrade. C. Wastewater There is no sewerline fronting the subject site along Kanoelehua Avenue. D. Solid Waste Solid waste will be handle through a commercial banter into authorized landfill sites. Given the proposed use, the anticipated volume should not be significant. Further toxic or related chemical waste would be minimal, if at all, as they would only be standard commercial waste associated with a convenience store, or retail outlets. E. Other Government Services As this area is already part of the Hilo urban area, it is already being serviced. No extension of government services would be required. The Police Station is located less the 3 miles away, and there are two fire stations (Central and Waiakea) that are within five (5) minutes of the site. There would be no impacts to schools, parks, and other related facilities. F. Other Utilities All other utilities such as telephone, electrical, and gas services, are available to the site. VIII. IMPACT SIGNIFICANCE ANALYSIS C. Relationship Between Local Short-Term Uses of Environment and Maintenance and Enhancement of Long-Term Productivity The short term use of the site would continue to be used as a residence, the lessee lives on the site. Given the transitional nature of the surrounding area, the retention of the single-family residential use may not result in the site's highest and best use. Putting the site into a commercial use would fulfill the land use concept of the General Plan and result in a more productive use of the site. D. Irreversible and Irretrievable Commitment of Resources The subject site is already disturbed. As such, the commitment of natural or other resources (such as archaeological ) would not appear to be an issue. E. Mitigative Measures As the parking area will be paved with an all-weather, dust free surface, there may be some drainage considerations. If there are drainage issues, this will be done in conjunction with the permitting and permit implementation phases of this project. The dwelling is currently occupied by the lessee of subject site. As such, there would be no dislocation of any resident. C. Alternatives to the Proposed Project 1. No project Lander this status quo alternative, the site remains in its present condition. The applicant would not pursue a commercial building for a convenience store, restaurant, or retail outlets. This alternative would result in no short-term construction impacts (noise, dust, traffic) resulting from the renovations and parking improvements. Additional vehicular traffic resulting from the commercial use would also not be present. The site, however, would not be utilized to its fullest potential, given the mixture of land uses in this area. The site could eventually deteriorate. 2. Alternative Commercially-zoned Site Under this alternative, the applicant would have to seek another site that is already Commercially zoned. In that scenario, commercial land use expectations by surrounding property owners would already be present Infrastructure may also be in place. However, there may still be commercially zoned areas where the infrastructure may not be adequate, particularly parking areas. The cost of improvements may also be prohibitive, particularly for the applicant. In the latter, event, the applicant may be compelled to cancel causing less economic opportunities for the community.

CHANGE OF .O APPLICATION F .98-6) SEAWIND HOLDING, INC. has submitted an application for a Change of Zone by changing the district classification from Single Family Residential (RS-10) to Industrial- Commercial Mixed (MCX-20) for approximately 21,050 square feet of land. The property is located on the west side of Kanoelehua Avenue approximately 200 feet north of its intersection with Lanikaula Street and adjacent to Osaka's Restaurant, Waiakea House Lots, Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii, TMK: 2-2-37:29. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Land Ownership: The landowner of the subject property is George Norio Murata and Masuko Murata. By letter of authorization, the Muratas have granted permission to Seawind Holding Inc. to apply for the subject application. APPLICANT'S REQUEST 2. Request: The applicant is requesting the Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX-20) designation to allow mixed industrial-commercial uses on his property. The Industrial- Commercial Mixed district (MCX) is a new zoning district, and according to Section 25- 5-130 of the Hawaii County Zoning Code, would allow the mixing of industrial and commercial uses. The intent is to provide for areas of diversified businesses and employment opportunities by permitting a broad range of uses, without exposing non- industrial uses to unsafe and unhealthy environments. The existing approximately 1,000-square foot two-story dwelling, garage, and outbuilding on the property will be removed, and an approximately 7,968-square-foot building will be constructed in its place. The applicant proposes to improve the landscaping, and lease the building for a convenience store, restaurant, and/or retail outlets. 3. Conceptual Plan: According to the site plan, the applicant proposes to construct an approximately 7,968-square foot building with 20 paved parking stalls. Also proposed is a 42-inch hedge along the northern, western, and portion of the southern perimeter boundary. 4. Construction Timeframe and Cost: The applicant intends to remove the existing structures and construct a new building in approximately 2 1/2 years. The estimated cost of the proposed improvements is approximately $200,000. 5. Additional Information: (See Exhibit A - Change of Zone Application) STATE AND COUNTY PLANS 6. State Land Use: Urban. 7.

Subject Property: The subject property is rectangular in shape, and approximately 21,050-square foot in size. There is a single family dwelling, garage, and outbuilding on the site. The site is improved with a yard and various plants including fern. A fence borders the southern boundary of the property adjacent to Restaurant Osaka. 13. Topography: The property has been previously improved, and therefore, is relatively level. 14. USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service's Soil Survey Report: Papai -3- extremely stony muck (rPAE). The surface layer is very dark brown extremely stony muck about 8 inches thick. It is underlain by fragmental Aa lava. This soil is slightly acid; permeability is rapid, runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. 15. Land Study Bureau's Detailed Land Classification System: Urban area. 16. ALISH: Existing urban development. 17. FIRM: Zone "X", area outside the 500-year flood plain. 18. Floral/Faunal and Archaeological Resources: Since the property has already been disturbed, the likelihood of any endangered flora and fauna or archaeological features are remote. 19. Surrounding Zoning/Land Uses: The property is within an area that has been extensively developed for commercial and industrial uses. Adjacent lands to the north and west are zoned RS-10 and include single family dwellings. Magoo's Auto Parts is situated approximately 200 feet north of the subject property, and Stationer's and Hawaii Printing is located approximately 400 feet north of the site. Adjacent lands to the south include Osaka Restaurant and Music Exchange. Along Kanoelehua Avenue the following rezonings from RS-10 to ML-20 have been approved: (See Exhibit B) A.

TAX MAP KEY: 3/2-2-37:29 1. INTRODUCTION The applicant, Seawind Holding, Inc., is requesting to rezone subject property from single Family Residence (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed District (MCX-20) to allow the requested commercial use similar to other commercial business in the near vicinity. H. PROJECT LOCATION The subject parcel is located along the west side of Kanoelehua Avenue, approximately two hundred (200) feet south of the intersection of Leilani Street and Kanoelehua Avenue. (Figure 1) There is a restaurant, Osaka's, and Music Exchange, adjacent to the south of subject property and a residence to the notch side of subject property. Less than two hundred (200) feet to the north of subject property is Magoo's Auto Parts, Hawaii Printing and Stationer's. Less than two hundred (200) feet to the south of subject property is Osaka's Restaurant and Leung's Restaurant. The site consists of twenty one thousand fifty (21,050) square feet. M. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Project Concept and Components An existing one thousand (1000) square foot two-story dwelling with garage and out- building situated on the site would be removed. A building consisting of 7,968 square feet would be constructed along with 20 paved parking stalls once project is completed. Applicant proposes to lease building to provide for a convenience store, restaurant, and/or retail outlets. Landscaping would be improved. B. Project Timetable and Cost The applicant would like to complete the project within a two and one half year span. The estimated permit processing and construction time needed to remove existing structures and build new building would be approximately two and one half years. The estimated cost of the building is anticipated to be approximately $200,000.00, inclusive of the parking improvements. IV. INSTITUTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS A. State Land Use The subject site is designated Urban by the State Land Use Commission. No State land use permitting action is required. B. County General Plan The County General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map designates the site "Industrial " The requested zoning would be consistent with this designation. It should be noted that there is a site in the city of Hilo that was recently zoned into the MCX-20 district The General Plan LUPAG map designation for that site was also Industrial. C. Community Development Plan The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP) was adopted by the Pinning Commission and by the Council Resolution in 1975. It was intended to further define the General Plan and provide some short and middle range implementation strategies of the General Plan. The Hilo SDP and it's Zone Guide Map suggests an Industrial Zoning for this site. It should be noted that this Plan was adopted over twenty (20) years ago, and the General Plan has been revised twice since that time. During this period, there have also been Significant land use developments in the City of Hilo, such as the shopping area in and around the Puamako/Kanoelehua Intersection, expanded commercial uses near the edu- cational complexes, and expanded commercial /industrial uses along the southern portion of the Waiakea Houselots area These developments may render many of the land use concepts espoused in the CDP somewhat obsolete. D. County Zoning The County Zoning of this site is Industrial. The requested MCX zoning would allow Commercial building usage. However, compliance with other requirements of the Zoning Code must still be demonstrated. In this case, parking would be required at a ratio of one parking stall per every 400 square feet of building space. The applicant proposes to have at least 20 paved parking stalls on site. All other applicable zoning and building code requirements such as setback would be complied with. E. Other Permitting Considerations The site is not located within the County Special Management Area (SMA). As such, no SMA Use Permit would be required However, as noted earlier, other permits would still be required. These would be of the "ministerial" variety, such as plan approval, building permit, and the like. V. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS A. General Description The elevation of the site is approximately twenty (20) feet above mean sea level. The mean annual rainfall is about one hundred thirty six (136) inches. The wetter months tend to occur between October through April. The mean annual temperature is about seventy- three (73) degrees Fahrenheit Wind patterns are generally tradewinds (easterly) during the day, and westerly during the evenings. The site is rectangular in shape. It has a one thousand (1,000) foot frontage and runs two hundred ten (210) feet to the rear. There is an existing residence, garage, and shed. These structures will be removed. There is no landscaping. There is a gravel driveway to the garage. B. Soils and Topography The topography of the site gently slopes in a westerly direction. The gravel driveway portion is level with the residence. The existing garage area is slightly lower than the front of the property. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Survey Report classifies the soil as Keaukaha Series (rKFD), which is extremely rocky muck, well drained, thin organic soils overlying pahoehoe lava bedrock. Runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is slight Because the site is part of a built up urban area, the Land Study Bureau provides no soil classification of the site and surrounding area. C. Natural Hazards 1. Drainage The US Corps of Engineers Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) designates the site in Zone X, areas outside the 500-year flood plain There are no existing drainage-ways on the site. Should drainage measures be required to accommodate the additional parking are, such will be implemented in conjunction with the building permit process. 2. Tsunami Hazard The site is outside of the Civil Defense Tsunami Evacuation Zone. 3. Volcanic and Earthquake Hazards The United State Geological Survey (USGS) classifies the area as Lava Flow Hazard Zone 3, on a scale of ascending risk 9 to 1. The entire City of Hilo falls in this category. There is very little that can be done to mitigate this situation and reflects an ongoing threat to all residents and businesses in the Hilo area. The entire island of Hawaii falls within Earthquake Zone 3, according to the County Building Code. As such, certain structural requirements will be needed and taken during the building permit process to address this seismic hazard. D. Flora and Fauna As the site has been used as a residence for over forty years, the only vegetation of the site are introduced landscaped plants. The probability of discovering rare or endangered plant life appears remote. Further, as the site has been disturbed, it is very unlikely that the site would currently serve as a habitat for rare or endangered animal species. E. Historic/Archaeological Resources Again, because the entire site has been previously disturbed, it is very unlikely that surface and subsurface remains would be found on the site. Further, the existing structures of the property are not deemed to be significant to warrant inclusion on the State or National Register of Historic Sites. F. Water and Coastal Resources The Hilo area is underlain by basal groundwater. The Wailoa River is approximately 2 miles for the subject site. The ocean is located about 2 miles away. As the project will not be sewered , there should be very little, if any, impacts to the coastal waters resulting form this project. Being a non-shoreline parcel, it should also not have any impacts to existing or planned access to the shoreline. G. Air Quality, Noise, and Dust Kancelehua Avenue serves as a major thoroughfare in this area Since the subject site abuts Kanoelehua Avenue, the ambient noise level from traffic is quite high. The site is also proximate to the airport; there is some noise from incoming flights is this area. Given those factors, the applicant's proposed building should have negligible noise impacts to surrounding properties. The only additional noise would be associated with vehicular traffic from employees and patrons of the applicant's during the day. The applicant's commercial use should not generate any direct air quality impacts. The only discernible air quality impact could be associated with the vehicular traffic to and from the site. The required parking area will be paved with an all-weather, dust free surface. The balance of the site will be landscaped. As such, with the exception of construction dust in the beginning, long term dust generated by the project should be minimal. H. Scenic and Visual Considerations In the Natural Beauty element for the General Plan, there are sites or areas listed as being a scenic resource. The subject site is not listed as a scenic site. However, areas proximate to the site, such as the Wailoa River, Liliuoukalani Park, Mauna Kea, and so forth are listed. The proposed development would not have any visual impacts on those and other listed scenic resources in the area. As the project would result with a new building, and removal of the existing buildings, there should also be minimal, if any, visual impacts to the surrounding area and neighbors. VI. Social and Related Considerations A. Surrounding Land Uses The mixture of land uses in this area suggests an area in transition. While there are a number of single-family residences to the rear of this area, there are also a number of commercial sites to the south side, north side and east side of site. Most of these uses are consistent with the present zoning - Industrial and MCX-20. The mixture of uses suggests an area in transition, and the proposed development would not be incongruous with that pattern. B. Economic Impacts The requested zoning itself would have a positive economic impact by creating new jobs. There should be minimal real property tax consequences for surrounding properties, considering the existing commercial activity currently in operation. VII. INFRASTRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS A. Road The subject site fronts on Kanoelehua Avenue, which is a State of Hawaii highway. Kanoelehua Avenue has a right of way of one hundred twenty-five (125) feet; it has four lanes. Fronting the site, there is a graveled shoulder approximately eight (8) feet wide. There are currently no sidewalks in this area, however, let it be noted that sidewalks are in the process of being installed along Kanoelehua Avenue in front of this site. B. Water The County water line fronts the subject site. The site is serviced by a standard 3/4 inch meter. Should there be a need to upgrade this meter to accommodate the commercial use, the applicant will make such an upgrade. C. Wastewater There is no sewerline fronting the subject site along Kanoelehua Avenue. D. Solid Waste Solid waste will be handle through a commercial hauler into authorized landfill sites. Given the proposed use, the anticipated volume should not be significant. Further toxic or related chemical waste would be minimal, if at all, as they would only be standard commercial waste associated with a convenience store, or retail outlets. E. Other Government Services As this area is already part of the Hilo urban area, it is already being serviced. No extension of government services would be required. The Police Station is located less the 3 miles away, and there are two fire stations (Central and Waiakea) that are within five (5) minutes of the site. There would be no impacts to schools, parks, and other related facilities. F. Other Utilities All other utilities such as telephone, electrical, and gas services, are available to the site. VIII. IMPACT SIGNIFICANCE ANALYSIS C. Relationship Between Local Short-Term Uses of Environment and Maintenance and Enhancement of Long-Term Productivity The short term use of the site would continue to be used as a residence; the lessee lives on the site. Given the transitional nature of the surrounding area, the retention of the single-family residential use may not result in the site's highest and best use. Putting the site into a commercial use would fulfill the land use concept of the General Plan and result in a more productive use of the site. D. Irreversible and Irretrievable Commitment of Resources The subject site is already disturbed. As such, the commitment of natural or other resources (such as archaeological ) would not appear to be an issue. E. Mitigative Measures As the parking area will be paved with an all-weather, dust free surface, there may be some drainage considerations. If there are drainage issues, this will be done in conjunction with the permitting and permit implementation phases of this project. The dwelling is currently occupied by the lessee of subject site. As such, there would be no dislocation of any resident C. Alternatives to the Proposed Project 1. No project Under this status quo alternative, the site remains in its present condition. The applicant would not pursue a commercial building for a convenience store, restaurant, or retail outlets. This alternative would result in no short-term construction impacts (noise, dust, traffic) resulting from the renovations and parking improvements. Additional vehicular traffic resulting from the commercial use would also not be present The site, however, would not be utilized to its fullest potential, given the mixture of land uses in this area The site could eventually deteriorate. 2. Alternative Commercially-zoned Site Under this alternative, the applicant would have to seek another site that is already Commercially zoned. In that scenario, commercial land use expectations by surrounding property owners would already be present Infrastructure may also be in place. However, there may still be commercially zoned areas where the infrastructure may not be adequate, particularly parking areas.
