Suite i • Hilo, Hawaii 06720 Phonc18081961-8288 • Fax1808061-5742 January 12, 2010 The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Chairman Yoshimoto and Council Members: Change of Zone Application (REZ 09-000101) Applicant: Steven & Loretta Milner Request: RS -15 to CV -10 Tax Map Key: 5-5-10:25 The Leeward Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on December 9, 2009, voted to recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill for a Change of Zone from a Single Family Residential — 15,000 square feet (RS -15) to a Village Commercial — 10,000 square feet (CV -10) district for approximately 1. 16 acres of land. The property is located on the west side of Hawi Road, approximately 420 feet south of the Akoni Pule Highway — Hawi Road intersection, Ka'auhuhu, North Kohala, Hawaii. The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the request: The applicants request a change of zone from RS -15 to CV -10 in order to lease office space in the existing structures to the general public. Offices are not a permitted use in the RS -15 zoned district, but are permitted in the CV zoned district. No new construction is proposed. 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 also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. flawai'i C'ountY is an Equul Oppornmih• Powider and Empincei-
