The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 commercial uses; overall residential density may be up to six units per acre. Additionally, the use continues to be consistent with the Land Use element of the General Plan. The requested Single-Family Residential zoning would continue to be consistent and compatible with the transition of this particular section of the Waiakea area into residential uses. This area consists mainly of residential subdivisions. To the west is the Kula Ridge Residential Subdivision consisting of lots zoned RS-15, to the east is the Komohana Estates Subdivision consisting of lots zoned RS-15 and to the south across West Kawailani Street is the Ku'ulei Subdivision consisting of lots zoned RS-10, as well as other residential subdivisions. The request is not contrary to Zoning Code and is not contrary to the original reasons for granting the change of zone. The property is located within an area adequately served with essential services and facilities such as water, transportation systems and other utilities. Access to the property will be from an adjacent 50-foot roadway lot that runs along the western boundary, which connects to West Kawailani Street. Condition D of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 05-110 requires that interior subdivision roads be provided with curbs, gutters and sidewalks meeting with the approval of the Department of Public Works. Additionally, Condition F requires a 10-foot wide road widening strip along the Kawailani Street frontage of the property. Lastly, a condition of tentative approval for SUB 92-000010 requires an additional 10-foot wide"no vehicular access"planting screen easement along with the 10-foot wide road widening strip,which runs along the Kawailani Street frontage of the property. Based on the above discussion, the granting of the amendment request continues to be consistent with, and not contrary to, the General Plan, Zoning Code, and the original reasons for granting the change of zone. Based on the above findings, it is recommended that a favorable recommendation of the applicant's request to amend Change of Zone Ordinance 05-110, along with other housekeeping amendments,be forwarded to the Hawai`i County Council. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Ordinance No. 05-110 is transmitted.
