The property is located west of <br />Spencer Road, approximately 500 feet southwest of the Spencer Road-Hoku`ula Road <br />intersection, Waimea Homesteads, South Kohala, Hawaii, TMK: 6-5-011:030. <br />PROPOSED ACTION <br />1. Applicant's Request: Change the zoning district from A-1 a to RS -20 for a 35,414 <br />square foot (0.813 acre) portion of a 2.358 -acre parcel in order to create a 2 -lot <br />subdivision.

According to the Zoning <br />Code, the purpose of the Single -Family Residential district is to provide for low and <br />medium density residential uses in areas having facilities.

(Planning Department Exhibit I - <br />Zoning Code Requirements for Single -Family Residential Districts) <br />2. Reason for the Request: The purpose of the request is to allow the creation of a parcel <br />that will be given to the applicant's daughter. The existing 2.358 -acre parcel can be <br />subdivided under the current zoning into two lots that are a minimum of 1 acre in size. <br />However, the existing residence is situated in the center of the property making it <br />awkward to subdivide the area into two equal size lots. The proposed RS -20 zoned <br />portion of the parcel is situated in what is currently the backyard of the applicant's <br />residence. The area to be rezoned is currently vacant of any use, although it was used <br />-1- <br />Re: Bill 25/Comm. 123 <br />
