J Yoshimoto, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 8 The property is currently a dwelling site and the warehouse was formerly used for a towing business. The applicant hopes to renovate the warehouse to establish a food processing facility with a commercial kitchen to produce smoked meats and fish. The applicant will continue to reside on the property. Immediate surrounding lands are zoned for commercial and agricultural uses. The Woodland Shopping Center zoned CN-20 is located across Kahakai Boulevard to the west. Further to the southwest is the Malama Market shopping center zoned MCX-20. Other nearby commercial uses include Pahoa Auto Parts (zoned CN-20) to the south of the property at the intersection of Kahakai Boulevard and Pahoa Village Road. In 2013, a 9.93-acre parcel kitty-corner to the Woodland Shopping Center at the Pahoa Village Road-Kahakai Road intersection was approved for a change of zone from A-1 a to CV-10 (concurrent with a State Land Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban) for the development of an approximately 104,326-square foot commercial center. The Pahoa Bypass Highway is located to the north of the property. The establishment of CV zoning on the subject property would be consistent with the existing land use pattern established within this portion of Pahoa. The applicant will comply with the requirements of the Zoning Code for the CV zoning district which would include but not be limited to building height restrictions, property setbacks, landscaping, and onsite parking. Therefore, the request to amend the zoning to CV-20 is consistent with the General Plan and Puna Community Development Plan. This particular request involves a change of zone from an A-la to a CV-20 zoned district. However, once a particular zoning district is approved and established, other similar uses may be allowed. As such, although this request is to amend the zoning district from Agricultural to Village Commercial uses to accommodate the renovation of an existing warehouse to establish a food processing facility, other uses may be established in the CV-zoned district. Under Section 25-5-122, these permitted uses include: • Adult day care homes • Amusement and recreation facilities, indoor • Art galleries, museums • Automobile sales and rentals • Automobile service stations • Bars • Bed and breakfast establishments • Boarding facilities • Business facilities, rooming, or lodging houses • Business services
