Comm. 148 Page 2 of 3 5,128 square feet, would function as the sales area, and the second floor mezzanine consisting of approximately 2,048 square feet, will be used for an office, rest area and additional storage space. Twenty-three full-sized parking stalls, including one ADA-accessible stall, is proposed. The applicant states that setbacks would be 15 feet fronting Manono and Hualani Streets, 18 feet in the rear (south side), and 100 feet in the rear (east side). 3. The property is owned by Michael Atsushi and Peggy Konanui-Tokunaga. 4 Access to the subject property is from currently Marione, Street, a County roadway with a right -of-way of 50 feet fronting the subject parcel. The applicant plans to utilize Hualani Street as the primary access, while Manono Street would be limited to inbound traffic only to accommodate periodic drive-thru patrons. Unlike Manono Street, Hualani Street functions more like a local street. Its right-of-way is 40 feet. As such, the applicants are prepared to relinquish five feet of its property along this frontage. 5. County water is available to the site. 6. Utilities are available to the site. County fire stations, police and emergency medical services are available to the site. 7. The Planning Director recommended favorably on this request based on the following: • The proposed change of zone request will conform to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements. • The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map designates this area as Medium Density Urban. • The State Land Use designation for the property is Urban and the proposed change of zone would complement the existing uses already in the area. • The Change of Zone request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes relating to Coastal Zone Management as the subject property is not an oceanfront parcel, and will not affect or be affected by shoreline processes. • There are no valued cultural, historical or natural resources that exist on the property and no evidence of any traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site. It is not anticipated the proposed request will have any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the area. The applicant, Peggy Konanui-Tokunaga was present at the meeting, but did not appear before the Committee. The applicants were represented by Mr. Sidney Fuke, Planner. PC Report 8
