J Yoshimoto, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 5 • Investigation of valued resources: No formal archaeological, floral or faunal studies were conducted of the property because it has historically been cultivated in sugar cane. • The valued cultural, historical, and natural resources found in the rezoning area: According to the applicants, there are no valued cultural, historical and natural resources found on the property because it was previously used for growing sugar cane. • Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resources: Given the scope of previous agricultural use of the property and the property's urban setting, no known rare, threatened, or endangered species are known to inhabit the parcel or are expected to be discovered on the site. • Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: According to the applicants, no gathering or other cultural practices are taking place on the site. Thus, to the extent to which traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights are exercised, the proposed action will not affect traditional Hawaiian rights; therefore, no action is necessary to protect these rights. Lastly, this approval is made with the understanding that the applicants remains responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements in connection with the approved use, prior to its commencement or establishment upon the subject properties. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of building permits, the installation of approved wastewater disposal systems, compliance with the Fire Code, installation of improvements required by the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), among many others. Compliance with all applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this approval; failure to comply with such requirements will be considered a violation that may result in enforcement action by the Planning Department and/or the affected agencies. Based on the above findings, the approval of the change of zone from an Agricultural 1-acre(A-1 a) to a Neighborhood Commercial 20,000-square foot(CN-20) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern and further benefit the general public.
