I I I i . ) ~) D. County Zoning The County zoning of the subject site is Light Industrial (ML-20). If the Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MGX-20) request were approved, the site would be developed into a mixture of office and retail uses, rather than predominantly warehouse use. For the use conversion, all requirements of the appropriate land use and development codes such as parking, landscaping, fire, ADA, and the like would be complied with during the subsequent permitting phases of this project. G. Special Management Area ("SMA") The site is situated within the County SMA district. As such, while the contemplated improvements and associated uses may be considered exempt from the definition of "development" and hence any Major or Minor SMA permit, this request is being filed to eliminate the need for such action in the future. A discussion of this project's relationship to the SMA policies and objectives are found in Chapter IX of this report. H. Other Permitting Considerations Other construction-related permits may still be required. If required, these would be of the "ministerial" variety, such as Plan Approval, building permit, driveway permit, and health clearances. v. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS A. General Description The 52,457 square foot site has a rectangular shape. Its width is 260+ feet while its depth is about 201 feet. There are two structures on this fairly level site. The larger one, consisting of 21,989 square feet, is presently being used as a warehouse, church, and office. The other one, consisting of 500+ square feet, was formerly used for painting and is presently vacant. There are also paved parking surrounding these structures. Landscaping, primarily azalea plants, form the boundary along Kalanikoa Street. B. Climate, Soil and Topography According to the State Commission on Water Resource Management, the nearest rain gauge in this area is the Hilo Airport. 4
