The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> Page 5 <br /> The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statues, <br /> relating to Coastal Zone Management. The project site is not proximate to the <br /> shoreline and outside of the SMA. There is no record of a designated public access to the <br /> shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the site. According to the applicant, no valued <br /> cultural, historical or natural resources exist on the properties and there is no evidence of <br /> any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site. Thus, it <br /> is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any adverse impact on cultural or <br /> historical resources in the area. Therefore, no action is necessary to protect these rights. <br /> Based on the above, the approval of the change of zone request from a <br /> Single-Family Residential (RS-10) to a Neighborhood Commercial(CN-10) zoned <br /> district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the <br /> general public. <br /> For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), <br /> Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawai`i County Code, is transmitted. <br /> We are enclosing copies of the staff Background, Planning Director's Recommendation, and the <br /> Powerpoint presentation for your information. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Wallace A. Ishibashi, Jr., Chairman <br /> Windward Planning Commission <br /> Enclosures <br /> cc: Mr. Sidney Fuke <br /> Ms. Sherry Jordan <br /> Department of Public Works <br /> Department of Water Supply <br /> William Brilhante, Esq., Corporation Counsel <br />
