<br />structure is a 21,989 square foot warehouse structure. That <br />structure currently houses a church, warehouse space, and the <br />applicant's office. The church, Thy World Ministries, utilizes 9,288 <br />square feet on a month to month lease. The applicant's office <br />consists of 1,472 square feet. The remaining 11,229 square foot <br />area is used for storage. The Research Corporation of the <br />University of Hawaii utilizes 7,509 square feet, while the applicant <br />uses the remaining 3,720 square feet. (Figure 3) <br /> <br />There are 56 and 1 handicapped parking stalls on the site now. <br />The 57 stalls are sl,lfficient for the current uses. The amount of <br />commercial office or retail uses would be a function of the stalls <br />available on site. <br /> <br />At this time, the church conducts its services on Thursday evenings <br />and during the day on Sundays. As such, because of this <br />schedule, parking has been shared and has worked very well. The <br />applicant does not visualize any parking difficulty should there be <br />more retail or office use. <br /> <br />Given the surrounding industrial and commercial uses, the <br />applicant believes that the area could support a project that <br />combines a mixture of warehouse and office and retail-related <br />uses. In that regard, it would like to convert portions of the <br />structures for those uses. However, because the existing Limited <br />Industrial (ML-20) zoning restricts the amount of office and retail <br />uses, the applicant is seeking the Mixed Commercial-Industrial <br />(MXG) zoning. <br /> <br />There are presently three accesses serving the site, one from <br />Kalanikoa Street and two from Kuawa Street. One of the accesses <br />from Kuawa Street is limited to ingress only; the other two accesses <br />have full movements. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />At this time, the applicant has no plans to construct a new building <br />on the site. Instead, improvements would be limited to additional <br />landscaping and interior renovations to accommodate future <br />tenants' needs. <br /> <br />B. Proiect Timetable and Cost <br /> <br />Should the request be approved, the applicant intends to market <br />and utilize the property for uses consistent with the requested <br />zoning. At this time, only minor interior improvements are <br />anticipated. The cost is not expected to exceed $50,000. <br /> <br />2 <br />
