The Honorable Dominic Yagong, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 improvements, and utility relocation that may be required by the Department of Public Works. These improvements will be located within the road widening strip which will be delineated and dedicated to the County. County water is available to the site. The project will connect to the County's sewer line fronting the subject property on Lanikaula Street. Solid waste will be handled by commercial haulers. Electricity and telephone services are available to the site. The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be rectified or which would render the land unusable. The project site is located within Zone "X ", area determined to be outside the 500 -year floodplain. All development generated storm run -off shall be disposed of on -site and not allowed onto adjacent properties or roadways. As the property is developed, no professional archaeological survey was conducted of the site. No professional flora or fauna surveys were conducted of the site. The property is located in an urban setting close to existing industrial and commercial uses and has been in residential uses since 1935. The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The project site is located more than two miles from the shoreline, not located in the Special Management Area, 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 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 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 Single - Family Residential (RS -10) to an Industrial - Commercial Mixed (MCX -20) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the general public. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25 -8 -33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) is transmitted.
