The property is located east of Highway 11 (Volcano Highway) and north of Highway 130 <br />(Kea'au-Pahoa Highway), Kea'au, Puna, Hawai'i. <br /> <br />The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending <br />favorable consideration of the request: <br /> <br />The applicant requests a Change of Zone for 7.829 acres ofland from an <br />Agricultural 5-acre (A-5a) to a Family Agricultural 2-acre (F A-2a) district for <br />approximately 7.829 acres ofland to subdivide the property into three lots approximately <br />two acres in size. The project site was part of an approximately 14.5-acre property, <br />currently the site of a water bottling facility permitted by Special Permit No. 842 to <br />establish a brewery, water and soft drink bottling facility and related improvements. The <br />14.5-acre parcel was subdivided into two lots approximately seven acres in size under <br />Final Subdivision Approval on January 11, 2005. The water bottling facility is <br />established on one of the subdivided parcels. However, the 7.8-acre parcel appears too <br />large for the proposed brewery and soft drink bottling facility, and the applicant currently <br />seeks a change of zone from A-5a to FA-2a to subdivide the 7.8-acre parcel into three <br />lots. This would potentially allow different operators for the brewery and soft drink <br /> <br />Hawai 'i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
