Arakaki, Chairman <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> <br /> Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members: <br /> <br /> Change of Zone Application (REZ 98-21) <br /> Applicant: Mr. Kenneth K. Leong <br /> Request: A-5a to FA-la <br /> Tax Map Key: 7-4-4:33 <br /> <br /> The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on October 16, 1998, voted to <br /> recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to change the district classification <br /> for approximately 4.201 acres of land from Agricultural (A-5a) to Family Agricultural <br /> (FA-la). The property is located on the west (makai) side of Mamalahoa Highway <br /> approximately 0.7 mile south of the Mamalahoa Highway-Palani Road intersection at <br /> Kealakehe Homesteads, First Series, Kealakehe, North Kona, Hawaii. <br /> <br /> The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending <br /> favorable consideration of the change of zone: <br /> <br /> In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable <br /> goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is <br /> only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and <br /> <br /> decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve quality growth <br /> determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of <br /> these evaluations and decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on <br /> other similar areas in the County. <br />
