The Honorable Dominic Yagong, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 In a recent letter to the manager of the Amy B. H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden, it was clear that the intent of eliminating the restricted use of Condition E was to allow for a weekly farmers' market, a use that is permitted within the CN-zoning district provided that the farmers' market is limited to the sale of locally grown/homemade products no more than two (2) days per week to avoid extensive on-site and off-site infrastructural and site improvements normally associated with commercial uses. Since this provision is currently allowed by the Zoning Code, the Planning Director is recommending that Condition E not be deleted as recommended by Bill No. 255,but rather amended as substantially recommended by the Planning Commission in 2008, with a further amendment to accommodate a bi-weekly farmers' market. The Planning Director's recommended amendment to Condition E of Ordinance No. 08-150 is shown as follows (material to be deleted is bracketed and struck-out, with added material underscored): "E. [This amendment to change the district classification of property is limited conformance to the description in the current application for reasons of public health, - ' - - -- :.]For commercial uses other than the visitor education center and a bi-weekly farmers' market, the applicant shall provide improvements to the road lot that runs along the entire southeast frontage of the subject property, consisting of an intersection with Mamalahoa Highway, a 20-foot wide pavement lane and concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk, drainage improvements, and any relocation of utilities meeting with the approval of the Department of Public Works prior to Certificate of Occupancy. For the purpose of this condition, a bi-weekly farmers' market shall be limited to the sale of local fresh and/or raw produce, plant life, fish and local homegrown and homemade products for two days a week or less." The Planning Director also recommends that the following new Condition F be included to address the Concurrency requirements of the Zoning Code. F. Should the applicants, successors or assigns develop a land use which the Planning Depai lnient, in consultation with the Department of Public Works, determines will generate over 50 peak hour trips, a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) shall be submitted for review and approval by the Department of Public Works prior to Final Plan Approval. The applicants shall implement, when required by the Department of Public Works, at no cost to the County, any transportation system improvements that may be deemed necessary by the Department of Public Works.
