Kenoi, dated August 14, <br /> 2009, presents a Change of Zone Request by Palamanui Global Holdings, LLC, applicant. <br /> <br /> Bill No. 136 seeks to amend Section 25-8-3 (North and South Kona Zone Map), Article 8, <br /> Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2005 Edition), by changing the <br /> District Classification from Project District (PD) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed - 20,000 <br /> square feet (MCX-20) at Ka`u, North Kona, Hawaii, covered by Tax Map Key: 7-2-005:001. <br /> <br /> Twenty members of the public provided testimony on the matter. All but one spoke in support of <br /> the rezoning. All twenty spoke favorably regarding the project's support of the community <br /> college campus on the west side. The lone dissenter wanted the matter postponed until the Kona <br /> Community Development Plan Committee could review the request. He was informed that the <br /> plan had been reviewed, and was found to be in accord with the Kona CDP. <br /> <br /> Your Committee concurs with the Planning Commission and the Planning Director's favorable <br /> recommendation for approval of the request for change of zoning. <br /> <br /> Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 136 and <br /> recommends it pass first reading. <br /> <br /> awm <br /> <br /> AYES NOES A&E EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> ENRIQUES X <br /> FORD X COMMITTEE ON PLANNING <br /> GREENWELL X <br /> IKEDA <br /> HOFFMANN X <br /> NAEOLE X DONALD IKEDA, CHAIR <br /> ONISHI X <br /> YAGONG X PC REPORT NO. 44 <br /> YOSHIMOTO X ADOPTED: OCT 0 7 2009 <br />
