J PC- 66 Page 2 July 1, 1997 Surrounding lands and uses include single family residences on lands zoned RS-10, the existing KTA Shopping Center and the Puainako Shopping Center zoned CN-10, and the Maebo Noodle Factory and Kai Store on lands zoned CN-10 since 1967. Water is available to the suhject property from an existing 10-inch waterline along Kilauea Avenue. Due to the previous residential use of the subject property and commercial development of the surrounding azea, it is not anticipated that endangered or threatened candidate species of flora or fauna are located within the subject property, nor has any significant botanical or biological habitat been identified. It is also not anticipated that the proposed development will have any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources. The subject property has no severe topographic or geologic problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable for the proposed use. The Planning Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending a favorable consideration of the change of zone: 1. The change of zone request conforms to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan. 2. The zone request conforms to the Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map of the General Plan which designates the subject property for Medium Density Urban Development. 3. The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP) adopted by resolution in 1975, designated the azea for residential use, but also recognized the need for future commercial development to reinforce existing commercial azeas. 4. All essential utilities and services are or will be available to the subject property. Your Committee amended Condition I of Bill No. 101 by clarifying language relating to the requirements of infrastructure improvements. PC REPORT NO. 66
