The Honorable Dominic Yagong, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 Should this request be approved, the applicants may apply for a Second Farm Dwelling, allowing for the construction of a second dwelling unit on each lot. The potential to allow additional dwellings may contribute to the cumulative burden on the existing infrastructure. As such, a condition is included to prohibit a second dwelling unit and a Condominium Property Regime (CPR) on each lot. The condition will require that restrictive covenants be included in the deeds of all the proposed lots for the subdivision prohibiting second dwelling units to preserve the residential /agricultural ambience of the area. Typically the County Council requires that applicants provide a fair share contribution to mitigate the potential regional impacts of their development on public facilities and services such as roads and parks. For Family Agricultural (FA) zoning, the County Council has historically required this contribution for lot sizes of one acre or less, for example a fair share contribution would not be required for FA -2a zoning but would be required for FA-la zoning. Thus, a condition of approval will be added to require a fair share contribution for the additional lot being proposed by the applicant's future subdivision of the property. Based on the above findings, approval of the Change of Zone request from an Agricultural 3 -acre (A -3a) to Family Agricultural 1 -acre (FA -la) 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), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) is transmitted.
