The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 5 The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statues, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The property is not located in the Special Management Area. The project site is located about 3.5 miles from the nearest shoreline and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the property. According to the applicants, 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 site. Thus, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the area. Therefore, no action is necessary to protect these rights. Based on the above findings, approval of this change of zone request from a Single- Family Residential - 15,000 square feet (RS -15) to a Single - Family Residential 10,000 - square feet (RS -10) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25 -8 -33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), of the County Zoning Code is transmitted. We are enclosing copies of the staff Background and Planning Director's Recommendation for your information.
