Change of Zone Application (REZ 09-000101)
Applicant: Brian Sugai
Request: A-1a to CN-20
Tax Map Kev: 2-3-37:19
The Windward Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on December 4,2009,
voted to recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill for a Change of Zone from an
Agricultural- 1 acre (A-1 a) to a Neighborhood Commercial- 20,000 square feet (CN-20)
district for 1 acre ofland. The property is located along the east side of Komohana Street,
approximately 700 feet south of the Komohana Street - Ponahawai Street intersection,
Ponahawai, South Hilo, Hawai'i.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending
favorable consideration of the requests:
The applicant is requesting a change of zone from Agricultural-1 acre (A-1 a) to
Neighborhood Commercial-20,000 square feet (CN-20). Although the eN zoned district
allows a variety of commercial uses, the applicants current plans are to construct an
approximately 20,000-square foot, two-story building which will contain his medical
office and other offices for rent/lease on the ground floor and a residential unit on the
second floor. The residential unit would be used by the applicant. The applicant
currently leases office space at the nearby Ka Waena Lapaau Medical Complex under a
lease agreement that expires in 2010. Construction will begin immediately upon approval
of the change of zone, in order for the building to be completed prior to the expiration of
the applicant's current lease. Construction of the development is anticipated to cost about
$2 million. Parking and landscaping as required by the Zoning Code will be provided on-

and Members of the County Council

site. If feasible in the future, the applicant would like to construct a second building for
offices uses.
The change of zone request from an A-la to a CN-20 zoned district conforms
to applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan. In order to consider
an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies and standards of
the General Plan must .be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive
policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time and
stage developments to achieve growth determined by the General Plan and related
planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must be also
considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County.
The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General
Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated
growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical
relationship among the various land uses. The requested change of zone to a CN-20
district conforms to the LUP AG Map, which designates the property and its immediately
surrounding area as Medium Density Urban. Such designation may allow neighborhood
commercial uses, including office and retail uses. Several of the surrounding properties
to the north, east and west are mainly vacant parcels that were formerly used for the
cultivation of sugarcane. Since the closure of sugar plantations in the 1970's and 1980's
these properties have remained in agricultural zoning but have not been used for
agricultural purposes. The lands just mauka of Komohana Street and to the northeast
along Ponahawai Street have recently been rezoned for commercial and residential uses.
The property is identified by the Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii
(ALISH) System as Existing Urban Development. Soils within the property and
surrounding area are unclassified for agricultural productivity by the Land Study Bureau.
Thus, the applicant's request is consistent with surrounding land uses and zoning.
In the initial review of this application, the Planning Department believed that the
request did not conform to the goals and standards of the Land Use and Transportation
elements of the General Plan because allowing direct access to and from Komohana
Street via a driveway, rather than a public road, for commercial development would
reduce the efficient operation of Komohana Street as a limited-access secondary arterial
roadway; and introducing high traffic volumes associated with commercial land uses may
result in a hazardous situation as vehicles attempt to enter and exit Komohana Street,
which is heavily congested at times. However, upon further review of this application
and during recent discussions with the applicant, the Department has determined that with
the placement of signage and a physical barrier to prohibit left-turns at the property
driveway, the request will conform to the General Plan. The Department is
The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 3
recommending the placement of "no left-turn" sign(s) and a physical barrier to prevent
motorists from making left-turns to and from the property access. Preventing left-turn
movements through use of a physical barrier will significantly reduce the potential for
vehicle conflicts at the property driveway and will reduce vehicle delay on southbound
Komohana Street that would occur ifleft-turn movements were allowed.
In addition, a condition of approval will require submittal of a Traffic Impact
Analysis Report (TIAR) ifthe applicant develops other land uses permitted in the
Neighborhood Commercial zoned district that would generate significantly more traffic
(over 50 peak hour trips) than the proposed development. The applicant will be
responsible for constructing any improvements identified in the TIAR required by the
DPW.
The General Plan identifies the viewpoint on the hilltop overlooking Hilo Bay in
the vicinity of the subject property as a site of natural beauty. Scenic views ofHilo Bay
and the eastern shoreline towards Puna can be seen from the property. However,
development of the property will not significantly reduce scenic views ofHilo Bay or the
Puna shoreline from Komohana Street as existing views are intermittent due to tall
vegetation on adjacent properties. Additionally, the Zoning Code limits the maximum
building height in the CN-zoned district to 40 feet. A condition of approval will require
that any structures on the property be designed and constructed in a way to minimize the
obstruction of the intermittent scenic views ofHilo Bay and the Puna shoreline from
Komohana Street. With implementation of the recommended conditions of approval, the
Planning Department believes the request for commercial zoning will conform to the
goals, policies and standards of the General Plan.
All essential utilities and services are available to the site. Access to the
property is via Komohana Street, a two-lane County owned roadway with a 25-foot
pavement width within an 80-foot wide right-of-way. A 10-foot wide No Vehicular
Access'Planting Screen Easement along the property's Komohana Street frontage was
created when the property was originally subdivided. Therefore, access to the property is
limited to a 30-foot wide road and utility easement (Easement RU-ll). The Department
of Public Works (DPW) recommends that access to and from Komohana Streetbe limited
to right-turn in and right-turn out movements only and thatthe applicant provide
pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter, sidewalk, drainage, and utility relocation
improvements to the property's Komohana Street frontage meeting with the approval of
the DPW. These recommendations will be included as conditions of approval for the
change of zone.
The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman
and Members of the County Council

The project site has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot
be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. A portion of the property
adjacent to the Alenaio drainage channel is located in flood zone "AE" which is a special
flood hazard area inundated by the I OO-year flood where base flood elevations have been
determined. Conditions of approval will require that all development-generated runoff be
disposed of on-site and not directed towards adjacent properties and that the applicant
adhere to the requirements of Chapter 27, Floodplain Management, of the Hawai'i
County Code for construction within the "AE" flood zone which specifies, among other
things, minimum building elevation requirements.
County water is available from an existing 12-inch waterline fronting the property
along Komohana Street. The proposed request would require the installation of a reduced
pressure type backflow prevention assembly within five feet of the existing meter.
Conditions of approval will be included to address the Department of Water Supply's
requirements.
The property is currently not serviced by the County sewer system. The applicant
proposes to dispose of wastewater by a septic system meeting the requirements of the
Department of Health until the County sewer line is extended to the property. Solid
waste will be disposed of by private contractor to the Hilo Landfill or other site
designated by the Department of Environmental Management. According to HELCO, the
existing electrical distribution system along Komohana Street is adequate to serve the
,
proposed development. The applicant will be required to install on-site distribution lines
to provide electrical service within the property. Telephone services are available to the
property. Police and fire services are available less than one mile from the property.
The request is not contrary' to Chapter 205A, Hawai'i Revised Statutes,
relating to the Coastal Zone Management Area. The subject property is located over
one mile from the shoreline at an elevation of about 240 feet above sea level and is not in
the Special Management Area. Therefore, the property will not be impacted by coastal
hazards or affect beach erosion, coastal recreational resources, coastal ecosystems and
marine resources. In a letter dated July 2, 2009 the DLNR State Historic Preservation
Division (SHPD) determined that no historic properties will be affected by the proposed
development because previous grading/grubbing and urbanization have altered the land.
In view of the Hawai'i State Supreme Court's "PASH" and "Ka Pa 'akai 0
Ka 'Aina " decisions, the issue of native Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights must be
addressed in terms of the cultural, historical, and natural resources and the associated
traditional and customary practices ofthe site:
The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 5
. Investigation of valued resources: No formal archaeological reconnaissance
survey, oral history ofkama'iiina accounts of the area, historical survey of
documentary records, or botanical study was included in the application.
. The valued cultural, historical, and natural resources found in the rezoning area:
The property has been used for the cultivation of sugarcane in the past and was
recently grubbed. According to the applicant, no valued cultural, historical or
natural resources exist on the property and there is no evidence of any traditional
and customary Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the property. As such, it
is anticipated that no cultural, historic or natural resources will be affected. In a
letter dated July 2,2009, the DLNR-SHPD stated that no historic properties will
be affected by the proposed development.
. Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resources: Native plants may be
destroyed by ground alteration. There is no evidence that the flora in the area are
particularly desired or used for cultural practices.
. Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: As stated by the applicant, no
gathering is taking place on the site. Thus, to the extent to which traditional and
customary native Hawaiian rights are exercised, the proposed action will not
affect traditional Hawaiian rights; therefore, no action is necessary to protect these
rights. A condition of the change of zone will require that the applicant cease
work and notify the SHPD should any unanticipated archaeological features or
sites be uncovered during the course of development.
Based on the above findings, the request to reclassify the property from an Agricultural -
I-acre (A-l a) to a Neighborhood Commercial - 20,000-square foot (CN-20) zoned district would
result in an appropriate land use pattern that would further benefit the general public.
For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-33 (City ofHilo Zone Map), of
the County Zoning Code is transmitted.

Background and Environmental Report
For the
Application for a Rezoning Request from an
Agriculture 1a to Commercial Neighborhood -20
TMK: 2-3-37:19
Ponahawai, South Hilo
I. INTRODUCTION
Dr and Mrs. Brian Sugai, owners of parcel TMK: 2-3-37:19, request a Change of
Zone from an Agricultural 1 acre zoned district to a Commercial Neighborhood-20
Zoned district. Dr. Sugai presently leases office space in the Ka Waena Lapaau
Medical Complex. At the termination of the lease agreement, Dr. Sugai would like to
move his medical practice into his own office building, which he hopes to construct
on the subject parcel.
II. PROJECT LOCATION
Parcel TMK: 2-3-37: 19, (hereinafter referred to as the subject parcel) is located on the
makai side of Komohana Street approximately 490 feet south of the intersection with
Ponahawai Street. It is adjacent to the County owned Alenaio Drainage Channel and
consists of one acre (see location map).
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
a. Project concept and components: The applicant would like to develop a
two story office and residential building which would house his office and
other offices on the first floor, with a residential unit on the second floor.
The doctor has practices both in Kona as well as Hilo, and would like to
utilize the residential unit for himself. He intends to rent/lease the
additional office space. If feasible, in the future, he would like to
construct a second building to house other offices. Overall, the initial
building would be.'approximately 20,000 square feet in size. (See site
plan)
b. Timetable: The applicant would like to begin construction as soon as
possible, at minimum so that the building would be completed by the time
his present lease expires. However, since his lease expires in 2010, it
appears that at best, the applicant would commence construction
immediately upon approval of the change of zone. The applicant
anticipates that the construction cost would be approximately $2 million or
more.
c. Parking: As the building envelope is proposed to be located to the rear of
the one acre lot, there is ample space for parking in front of the building.
Parking as determined and required by the final construction drawing and
plan approval will be provided.
d. Traffic Impacts. Based on the applicant's existing practice, it is
anticipated that approximately 50 trips per day would occur. At this time,
trip generations for the remainder of the proposed building rentable space
it is difficult to calculate since specific commercial uses have not been
determined. As the proposed structure is below the minimum required
through the concurrency sections of the code, a traffic study was not
performed.
e. On-site and off-site infrastructure: In addition to the necessary parking,
driveway and water requirements, the applicant will provide for required
on-site drainage and sewage requirements and off-site road/traffic related
infra-structure such as curb, gutters, side walk, turn lanes and signage as
required by the appropriate government agencies.
IV. CONFORMANCE WITH ST ATE AND COUNTY PLANS
a. State Land Use Designation: The subject parcel is situated with the State
Land Use Urban District. The proposed Commercial Neighborhood Zone
Designation is 'allowed within the Urban district designation and does not
require a State Land Use Boundary Amendment.
b. Chapter 205A, Coastal Zone Management: The proposed project would
not be contrary to policies of the Coastal Zone Management as it would
not interfere with public access to the shoreline, scenic and open space
resources since it is at least a mile inland from the coast. It would provide
additional view planes to scenic Hilo bay due to the elevation above Hilo..
c. County General Plan: Applicable goals and policies from the Land Use
Element of the General Plan include:
. Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix
and in keeping with the social, cultural, and physical environments of
the County.
. Zone urban-types of uses in areas with ease of access to community
services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and
facilities.
. Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing
or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County.
. Encourage the development and maintenance of communities meeting
the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social
environment.
. Provide for commercial developments that maximize convenience to
users.
. Distribution of commercial areas shall meet the demands of
neighborhood, community and regional needs.
. To provide for multiple residential developments that maximizes
convenience for its occupants.
. Appropriately zoned lands shall be allocated as the demand for
multiple residential dwellings increases. These areas shall be allocated
with respect to places of employment, shopping facilities, educational,
recreational and cultural facilities, and public facilities and utilities.
. Encourage flexibility in the design of residential sites,. buildings and
related facilities to achieve a diversity of socio-economic housing mix
and innovative means of meeting the market requirements.
The General Plan Land Use Allocation Guide Map (LUP AG) designates the
site "Medium Density Urban". This designation allows for consideration of
"Village and neighborhood commercial and residential and related functions
(3-story commercial; residential up to 35 units per acre)." Thus the requested
change of zone and projected uses are consistent with the LUP AG map
designation and policies of the Land Use Element.
d. Zoning: Although the subject parcel is within the State Land Use Urban
District, it is nevertheless zoned Agricultural one-acre probably based on
past usage as a sugar cane plantation in the area, and which has since been
terminated in the early 1970's. The Agricultural Zone does not
accommodate the proposed urban uses.
e. Community Development Plans: The Hilo Community Development
Plan, (Hilo CDP) adopted by the Planning Commission in 1975 designates
the area for single family, multiple family and planned unit development
uses. It suggests that the "Kukuau/Mohouli and Upper Ponahawai areas
which are adjacent to or near the downtown should be rezoned for multi-
family use." Thus the residential aspect ofthe proposed complex is
consistent with the 1975 CDP, though the proposed office use is not. It
should be noted that the CDP was adopted over thirty years ago under
provisions of the original 1971 General Plan. Two revisions of the General
Plan have since been adopted, in 1989 and 2005. Thus the Hilo CDP itself
is not now quite consistent with the most recently adopted General Plan.
The economic, population and settlement assumptions of the Hilo CDP
have since changed. In fact the present surrounding land use reflect a
slightly different pattern with commercial offices. As noted previously the
proposed uses is consistent with the 2005 General Plan, which prevails,
given the absence of an updated CDP.
f. Special Management Area (SMA): The subject project site is outside the
County's adopted Special Management Area. No permits are necessary
under Rule 9 of the County Planning Commission relating to Special
Management Areas.
V. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ENVIRONMENTAL
SETTING OF THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
a. Description of the subject property: As noted previously, the parcel is
located on the makai side of Komohana Street near the southeastern corner
of the intersection of that street with Ponahawai Street. The one- acre
parcel takes its access directly off of Komohana Street and is located
adjacent to the access to the County owned and improved Alenaio
drainage channel. The parcel is vacant.
Elevation is approximately 240 feet above sea level and slopes very
slightly to the east. Median annual rainfall within the area is
approximately 130 inches.
b. Lava Hazard Zone: The United States Geological Survey classifies the
Hilo area including the subject parcel as Lava Flow Hazard Zone 3, on a
scale of ascending risk, Zones 9 -1, due to the city's location down slope
and potentially subject to lava flows from Mauna Loa.
c. Distance from the coastline: The parcel is slightly over a mile from the
Hilo Bay coastline.
d. Agricultural Lands of Importance in the State of Hawaii (ALISH)
designation: As the site is located within an urban area, it is not
designated as "important" according to this State Classification system.
e. U.S.D.A. Natural Resources Conservation Services Soil Service Report:
Soils ofthe project area are classified as Hilo silty clay loam,
characterized as well drained; silty clay loams formed in a series of
volcanic ash, giving it a banded appearance. They occur on gently sloping
to steep slopes from sea level to 800 feet.
f. Land Study Bureau soil rating: The Land Study Bureau Overall Master
Productivity Rating identifies the area as Urban, unclassified.
g. Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) designation: An AE designation
(Flood designated area with specified building elevation requirements)
occurs on the southern side of the parcel (See site map). The northern side
of the parcel is within Zone X, signifying areas that are outside a flood-
designated area.
h. Existing drainage ways or improvements: The AE designation is
associated with the improved Alenaio Stream drainage channel along the
south side of the subject parcel. This designation as it occurs on the
subject parcel, indicates that proposed structures within the designated
area, must observe a minimum elevations ranging from 234 to 243 feet.
An improved driveway access to the drainage channel owned by the
County of Hawaii is immediately outside the southern boundary of the
subject parcel. Proposed revisions to the FIRM maps, being reviewed
review by state and federal agencies show no AE designations on the
subject parcel. (See exhibit A and B)
1. Air /Noise/Water: In general, the ambient air quality of the project area
meets all federal and state standards as evidenced by its designation as an
"attainment" area by the State Department of Health, Clean Air Branch.
However, the windward area of Hawaii Island is subject to voggy
conditions due to the Kilauea eruption during times of southeasterly
winds. Existing noise levels are primarily caused by traffic along
Komohana and Ponahawai Streets. It is not anticipated that the proposed
residence and office use will have a significant adverse noise impact on
residents to the south of the project as it is separated by the Alenaio
drainage channel and would be limited to normal working hours. Water
quality should not be impacted as Department of Health regulations
requiring on-site containment and non pollution of outside water will be
adhered to..
J. Historic and Cultural Resources: There are no archaeological, cultural or
historic sites on the subject parcel as the area was extensively cultivated in
sugar cane. Likewise cultural resources associated with traditional and
customary native Hawaiian rights have not been identified in the project
area. The Department of Land and Natural Resources issued a clearance

TMK: (3) 2.3-037:019
Thank you fOf the opportunity to comment on the aforementioned project, which we received on June 26,
2009. We determine that no historic properties will be affected by this project because;
o Intensive cultivation has altered theland ,
~ Residential development/urbanization has alten3d'theland
1ZI Previous grubbinglgradinghas altered the land
o An accepted archaeological inventory survey (AIS) found no historic properties
o SHPD previously reviewed this project and mitigation has been completed
~ Other: SHPD previously commented on this project and determined no historic properties will be
affected in 2002 and 2003.
In the ~vcnt that historic resources, including human skeletal remains, cultural materials, lava tubes, and
lava blisters!bubbles are identified during the construction activities, all work needs to cease in the
immediate vicinity of the find, the find needs to be protected from additional disturbance, and the State
Historic Preservation Division, Hawaii Island SectJon, needs to be contacted immediately at (808) 933~
7653.

We have reviewed the subject application and have the following comments and conditions.
Water is available from an existing I2-inch waterline within Komohana Street fronting the subject parcel.
There is an existing I-inch service lateral installed to the subject parcel, capable of accommodating a
5/R-inch meter, which is limited to a maximum daily usage of 600 gallons.
The Department has no objection to the proposed application; however, prior to issuing a water
commitment the applicant shall comply with the following conditions:
1. The Department requests that the applicant submit estimated maximum daily water usage calculations
for review and approval. The water usage calculations shall be prepared by a professional engineer
licensed in the State of Hawai'i and should include the estimated peak flow in gallons per minute
(GPM) and the total estimated maximum daily water usage in gallons per day, including all
irrigation/landscaping use.
Upon acceptance of the water usage calculations, the Department will make a determination as to the
water commitment deposit due, prevailing facilities charge (subject to change) to be paid, and any
water system improvements required for water service. A larger or additional meter may be required if
the water usage calculations show that the estimated demand will exceed the capacity of the existing
service lateral.
2. The proposed zoning will require the installation of a reduced pressure type backflow prevention
assembly, within five (5) feet of the existing meter on private property. If a larger or additional meter is
required, a backflow prevention assembly will also be required for that meter. The installation of the
backflow prevention assembly(s) must be inspected and approved by the Department before water
service can be activated.
3. Please be informed that the existing I2-inch waterline fronting the parcel is adequate to provide 2,000
GPM of flow for fire protection as required per the Department's Water System Standards for the
proposed type ofland use. Planning Dept.'.

Guidelines
INTENT AND PURPOSE
This is to establish guidelines for reviewing solid waste management plans, for which special
conditions are placed on developments. The solid waste management plan will be used to: (1)
promotes and implement recycling and recycling programs, (2) predict the waste generated by
the proposed development to anticipate the loading on County solid waste management
facilities, and (3) predict the additional vehicular traffic being generated because of waste and
recycling transfers. A qualified consultant shall prepare a suitable solid wasfe management
plan for review by the Department of Environmental Management.
REPORT
The Solid Waste Management Plan will contain the following:
1. Description of the project and the potential waste it may be generating: i.e. analysis of
anticipated waste volume and composition. This includes waste generated during the

be limited to):
A. Organics (including food waste and green wastes);
B. Construction and Demolition;
C. Paper (including cardboard);
D. Metal (including ferrous and non-ferrous metals);
E. Plastic;
F. Special (including ash, sludge, treated medical, bulky items, tires);
G. Household Hazardous (including paint, vehicle fluids, oil, batteries); and
H. Glass.
2. Indicate onsite source separation' facilities by waste type; i.e. source separation bins of
glass, metal, plastic, cardboard, aluminum, etc. Provide ample and equal space for
rubbish and recycling.
3. Identification and location of the proposed waste reduction, waste re-use, recycling
facility or disposal site and associated transportation methods for the various
components of the development's waste management system, including the number of
County of Hawai'i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.

vehicle movements and associated routes that will be used to transport the waste and
recycled materials.
4. The report will include identification of any impacts to County-operated waste
management facilities, and the appropriate mitigation measures that will be implemented
by the development to minimize these impacts.
5. Analysis will be based on the highest potential use or zoning of the development.
REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS
1. A solid waste management plan will be prepared for all commercial developments, as
defined under the policies of the Department of Environmental Management, Solid
Waste Division.
2. The Department of Environmental Management will require the developer to provide or
resolve all recommendations and mitigation measures as outlined in the solid waste
management plan; besides any conditions placed on the applicant herein.

Applicant: Brian Sugai
Request: A-1 a to CN-20
TMK: 2-3-037:019
South Hilo District, Hawaii County
Thank you for the opportunity to review the subject project located in South Hilo.
HELCa will be able to provide electrical service to the proposed development as
described subject to detailed analysis to be performed after receipt of your consultant's
detailed design drawings and estimated demand.
1. Generation Capacity - HELCO's current system peak load is 198,200 kWand our
total generation system capability is 269,600 kW. Our, reserve margin is 36
percent and has adequate generation to serve the above.
2. Electrical Substation - The area is currently served by our existing 10.0 MVA
Komohana electrical substation and a 12,470 volt distribution overhead system
along Komohana Street. Based on the 1 OW/sf (office building) and 6.5W/sf
(residence), the capacity of our existing substation is adequate to serve the
estimated load of 165kW.
3. Off-Site Electrical Distribution System- The existing off-site 12,470 volt
distribution system along Komohana Street is adequate to serve the proposed
development.
4. On-Site Electrical System - On-site distribution line extensions and easements
are required on the developer's property to serve the anticipated load.
After the development's detailed electrical load calculations and civil plans are
submitted, HELCa will design the electrical system and prepare a firm cost to provide
electrical power to the development.

SUBJECT:
Chapter 6E-42 Historic Preservation Review -
Change of Zone Application (REZ09-000l01) A-la to CN-20
Ponahawai Ahupua'a, South Hilo District, Island of Hawai'i
TMK: (3) 2-3-27: 19
Thank you for requesting our comments regarding the subject application, which affects a one-acre parcel
on Komohana Street. The purpose of the zoning change is to allow the owner to construct a medical
office building, to be operated by the own~r, Dr. Brain Sugai. We have recently reviewed this application
and sent a letter to Dr. Sugai dated July .2,.2009 (Log'2Q09.2488, I?Qc 0907MD03) with the information
found below. .... . .
We determine that no historic properties will be affected. by this project because:
D No land alteration will occur in connection with thi,s application
C8J Development/urbanization has altered the land .
C8J Previous grubbing/grading has altered the land
D SHPD previously reviewed this project and mitigation has been completed
C8J Other: SHPD previously commented on this project in 2002 and 2003, and determined that no
historic properties would be affected.
In the event that historic resources, including human skeletal remains, lava tubes, and lava
blisters/bubbles are identified during the activities, all work should cease in the immediate vicinity of the
find, the find should be protected from additional disturbance, and the State Historic Preservation
Division, Hawaii Island Section, should be contacted immediately. Please contact Theresa Donham at
(808) 933-7653 if you have any questions or concerns regarding this letter.

COUNTY OF HAW AI'I PLANNING DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
BRIAN '{. SUGAI
CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION (REZ 09401)
Upon careful review of the request against the guidelines for granting a change of zone,
the Planning Director is recommending that an unfavorable recommendation of this change of
zone application be forwarded to the County Council. Since this recommendation is made
without the benefit of public testimony, the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this
position based upon additional information presented at the public hearing. The unfavorable
recommendation is based on the. following findings:
The applicant requests a change of zone from Agricultural-l acre (A-l a) to
Neighborhood Commercial-20,OOO square feet (CN-20) in order to construct an
approximately 20,OOO-square foot, two-story building for a medical office and other
offices for rent or lease on the ground floor and a residential unit on the second floor.
The primary reasons for the unfavorable recommendation are: 1) approval of the
change of zone request would aH~ direct ir;g~:ess and egress at the property's Komohana
Street access for potentially high traffic voluni~'commercial uses on the property, which
will reduce the functional efficiency of Komoh'.lJla Street as a limited access roadway,
and 2) the proposed request conflicts with various goals, policies and standards of the
Transportation, Land Use and Natural Beauty Elements of the General Plan.
The change of zone request from an A-la to a CN-20 zoned district does not
conform to applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan. In order to
consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies and
standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a
comprehensive policy analyses approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to
better time or stage developments to achieve quality growth. The implications of these
evaluations and decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on other
similar areas in the County. The subject'iequest will not conform to the following goals
and standardsoftheTransportation and Land Use Elements:
1 '
· Provide a system of roadways for the safe, efficient and comfortable movement of
people and goods.
· A Secondary Arterial is defined as a street of considerable continuity that is
primarily a traffic artery between or through large areas which interconnects with
and augments primary system. Designed as a limited access roadway. Secondary
arterials shall have a minimum right-of-way of 80 feet.
· Provide commercial developments that complement the overall pattern of
transportation and land usage within the island's regions, communities, and
neighborhoods.
· Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation,
district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent
zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access, and public need.
· The development of commercial facilities should be designed to fit into the locale
with minimal intrusion while providing the desired services. Appropriate
infrastructure and design concerns shall be incorporated into the review of such
developments.
The subject property contains one legal access onto Komohana Street via a 30-
foot wide road and utility easement (Easement RU-ll). According to the Department of
Public Works (DPW), Komohana Street is classified as a secondary arterial with a 25-
foot pavement width within an 80-foot wide right-of-way fronting the property. A 10-
foot wide No Vehicular Access Planting Screen Easement, created when the property was
originally subdivided, runs along the property's Komohana Street frontage.
Functional classification is the grouping of streets into classes (ex. arterial,
collector, and local) according to the character of traffic service that they are intended to
provide. According the General Plan Transportation Element standards, a secondary
arterial roadway is designed as a limited access roadway which operates primarily as a
traffic artery between or through large areas and interconnects with and augments the
primary roadway system. Arterial roadways provide the fastest method of travel by
limiting access from intersecting roadways and adjacent properties.
With the exception of the nearby Ka Waena Lapaau medical complex, all existing
commercial uses along Komohana Street have access via a minor road rather than a
driveway. For example, the businesses just mauka ofHala'i Hill access Komohana Street
via Puuhonu Place which is a minor road that intersects Komohana Street. Additionally,
access into the Ka Waena Lapaau medical complex is restricted to one driveway on
Ponahawai Street and one driveway at Komohana Street which is limited to egress only.
Approval ofthe applicant's request would set a precedent by allowing direct access to
and from Komohana Street via driveways for commercial development, which would
reduce the functional efficiency of Komohana Street as a secondary arterial roadway.
The subject property is not appropriate for commercial zoning because
commercial land uses normally generate significantly higher traffic volumes than other
land uses, such as agriculture. Should the change of zone request be approved a variety
of other commercial uses that are permitted in the eN-zoned district could potentially be
developed on the property. The DPW recommends that access to and from Komohana
Street be limited to right-turn in and right-turn out movements only. However,
introducing high traffic volumes associated with commercial land uses in this area may
result in a hazardous situation as vehicles attempt to enter and exit Komohana Street,
which is already a heavily congested roadway. Additional traffic in this area of
Komohana Street cannot be supported at this time.
Because the subject property does not have legal access to any roadways other
than Komohana Street, there are no alternative access options that could be considered to
accommodate the change of zone request but also maintain the functional classification
and safe operation of Komohana Street.
The subject request will also not conform to the following goals and standards of
the Natural Beauty Element:
· Protect scenic vistas and view planes from becoming obstructed.
· Protect the views of areas endowed with natural beauty by carefully considering
the effects of proposed construction during all land use reviews.
The General Plan identifies the viewpoint on the hilltop overlooking Hilo Bay in
the vicinity of the subject property as a site of natural beauty. Scenic views of Hilo Bay
and the eastern shoreline towards Puna can be seen from the property. Development of
the property has the potential to reduce intermittent scenic views ofHilo Bay and the
Puna shoreline for motorists traveling along Komohana Street.
Due to the subject property's access deficiencies and incompatibility of the
request with the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan, the Planning Director
does not support the change of zone as it would not result in a more appropriate land use
pattern that will further the necessity, convenience and welfare of the public. The
Director therefore recommends an unfavorable recommendation of the accompanying
draft bill.
