<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Communication 149 <br /> Bill 35 <br /> <br /> <br /> • The urban reclassification also conforms to the standard that the development is within <br /> reasonable proximity to centers of trading and employment and to basic services such <br /> as schools, police and fire protection, transportation systems and water. <br /> <br /> • The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be <br /> properly rectified or which would render the land unstable. The U.S. Federal Emergency <br /> Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) designates the property as Zone <br /> "X", areas outside of the 500-year flood plain. Any improvements to the property must <br /> comply with Chapter 27 of the County Code relating to Flood Hazard Control. <br /> <br /> • While the project site is situated within the State Land Use Agricultural and County's <br /> Agricultural (A-20a) zoned district, it has not been used for active agricultural purposes <br /> for at least 80 years. The project site consists of two parcels containing eight abandoned <br /> warehouses which have historically been used for industrial purposes. Surrounding areas <br /> include Shipman Industrial Park. <br /> <br /> • There are no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly <br /> rectified or which would render the land unusable. The U.S. Federal Emergency <br /> Management Agency designates the properties as Zone "X", areas outside of the 500- <br /> year flood plain. The properties are located over three miles from the shoreline, at an <br /> elevation of about 300 feet above sea level and are fairly level with less than a 5% slope. <br /> All project generated runoff will be disposed of on-site, so as not to impact surrounding <br /> properties. <br /> • There is no evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiians rights being <br /> practiced on the site, nor existence of any known valued cultural or native resources in <br /> the area. Thus, it is believed that the project would have no adverse impact relative to the <br /> cultural and historical resources of the area. <br /> <br /> At the March 17, 2009 Planning Committee meeting, there was no public testimony. Discussion <br /> regarding Bill 35 was combined with its sister-bill, Bill 34. See Planning Committee Report No. <br /> 24 for summary of discussion. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> PC Report 25 <br />
