The property is located along <br /> the northeast corner of the KekuanaW a Street-Laukapu Street intersection, diagonally across <br /> from the Big Island Candies complex, Waiakea, South Hilo, 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 /> The applicants are requesting a change of zone from Single-Family Residential <br /> 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed 20,000 square feet (MCX- <br /> 20) to relocate the Noris Saimin and Snacks Restaurant to the site. The proposed two- <br /> story structure will be approximately 35"feet high, with the first floor to be used for the <br /> restaurant, and the second floor for office and storage space. The applicants currently <br /> operate a restaurant and snack shop (Noris Saimin and Snacks) in a rented space at 688 <br /> Kino`ole Street. Due to their desire to improve customer service and operate on their <br /> own property, the applicants searched for another site to relocate their restaurant. The <br /> current site has limited parking and visibility. The new site was selected due to its <br /> proximity to the airport, greater visibility and convenience to restaurant and snack <br /> (omiyage) shop patrons. <br /> <br /> <br /> Hawai `i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
