The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 The property is Neighborhood Commercial — 20,000 square feet (CN -20), which allows for commercial activities such as a compact shopping center which supplies goods and services to a residential or working population on a frequent need or convenience basis. The proposed retail establishment, restaurants, convenience store and automotive service station are permitted uses within the CN zoning district. Thus, the request continues to be consistent with the Zoning Code. The Department of Transportation (DOT), in consultation with the County and applicant, has identified additional roadway improvements that are needed to address concerns regarding traffic circulation and safety in the vicinity of the Woodland Center project. DOT recommends reconnecting the Kahakai Boulevard intersection at Highway 130 to allow right -turn in and right -turn out movements only, as well as a dual - purpose auxiliary lane beginning at Pahoa Village Road and ending at Kahakai Boulevard to serve as an acceleration for vehicles turning right onto Highway 130 from Pahoa Village Road, a merge lane for vehicles traveling southbound past Kahakai Boulevard, and a deceleration lane for vehicles turning right into the reopened Kahakai Boulevard. An acceleration lane with a paved striped island is also recommended for vehicles turning right out of Kahakai Boulevard onto southbound Highway 130. The Planning Department and Department of Public Works concurs with the need for these roadway improvements. Thus, Condition E has been modified to reflect these recommendations. Additionally, since the applicant has already secured final plan approval for the proposed development, this requirement has been removed from Condition B. Compliance with all other conditions of Ordinance No. 03 111 is still required. Based on the above findings, the proposed amendment to Condition B of Ordinance No. 03 111 is not contrary to the original reasons for approving the Change of Zone. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Ordinance No. 03 -111 is transmitted.
