Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members: Change of Zone Application (REZ 96-12) Applicant: Hao Street Hui Request: A-20a to A-Sa Tax Man Key: 7-3-25:4 The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on December 5, 1996, voted to recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to change the district classification for approximately 22.065 acres of land from Agricultural (A-20a) to Agricultural (A-Sa). The property is located in the Kaloko Mauka Subdivision between approximately the 2,500-2,800 foot elevation, along the north side of Hao Street at Kaloko, North Kona, Hawaii. The Planning Director proposed a favorable recommendation for the applicant's request for a change of zone from Agricultural (A-20a) to Agricultural (A-3a) based on criteria, findings and County Council Resolution 330-96 that the approval would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. However, in reviewing the request, the Commission further considered statements within County Council Resolution 330-96 regarding an established pattern for rezoning in the Kaloko Mauka area. Within Resolution 330-96, the County Council recognized that rezoning ordinances have established a pattern of A-3a lots up to the 2,600 foot elevation and A-Sa lots within a band between the 2,600 and the 2,900 foot elevation. Based on this established pattern and to remain consistent, the Commission voted to recommend the approval of the change of zone from Agricultural (A-20a) to Agricultural (A-Sa) to the County Council based on the following findings.
