The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 The State Land Use designation for the subject property is Urban. The property is designated Urban by the Land Study Bureau's Productivity Rating. The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP), adopted in 1975, suggests residential uses in this area. However, this area is transitioning to higher density commercial type uses. The proposed change of zone would complement the existing commercial land uses that already exist in this area and will provide for an orderly development of the area. The property is a vacant, approximately 22,5,00 square foot parcel located on the corner of Manono and Hualani Streets. The parcel was formerly used as asingle-family residence, but the dwelling has since been demolished. The land uses in the area are a mix of residential and commercial uses. Immediately adjacent properties to the east and south are zoned RS-10. The adjacent property to the south is vacant, but there are single- family residences along the eastern boundary and across the street along Hualani Street. Nearby properties are zoned RS-10 and in single-family residential uses. However, there are several parcels zoned Neighborhood Commercial to the south of the property on both sides of Manono Street, including churches, commercial uses, offices, and a potato chip manufacturing plant within 600 feet of the property: • TMK: 2-2-34: 85 and 93 (Ordinance No. 00 031) • TMK: 2-2-34: 84 (Ordinance No. 08 006) • TMK: 2-2-34: 12 (Ordinance No. 06 107) • TMK: 2-2-34: 124 (Ordinance No. 06 124). All utilities and services are available to the site. The project will connect to the existing County sewer system. Solid waste will be disposed of by commercial handlers. The primary access to the project site is proposed from Hualani Street, which has aright- of-way width of approximately 40 feet. The second access from Manono Street would be limited to ingress only. Manono Street, with aright-of-way of 50 feet with graveled shoulders, is designated as a secondary arterial. The City of Hilo Zone Map designates Manono Street as a 60-toot right-of-way. The Department of Public Works (DPW) recommends a) a no access easement be placed along the frontage of Manono Street; and b) provide a minimum 20-foot corner radius at the intersection of Manono and Hualani Streets incorporating future road widening setbacks as established by the Planning Department. The applicants agree to set aside five (5) feet of their property to accommodate the road widening on both streets.
