Dru Kanuha, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 4 The State Land Use designation for the subject property is Urban. The property is designated Urban by the Land Study Bureau's Productivity Rating. The Hilo Community Development Plan(CDP), adopted in 1975, suggests residential uses in this area. However, this area is transitioning to higher density commercial type uses. The proposed change of zone would complement the existing commercial land uses that already exist in this area and will provide for an orderly development of the area. The property is 22,000 square feet in size and is rectangular in shape. The property is located at 717 Manono Street in the Waiakea House Lots. The parcel has been the location of an existing dwelling that was constructed in 1925, as well as the Atebara Chips business since 1946. The land uses in the area are a mix of residential and commercial uses. The Manono Street Marketplace is located adjacent to the property to the north, which is zoned CN-20. Rezonings in the area from Single-Family Residential (RS) to Neighborhood Commercial (CN) include adjacent properties to the north and south, and other properties to the northwest across Manono Street and to the southeast. Businesses include the Manono Street Marketplace, Big Island Candies, Kilauea Kreations II, and others. All utilities and services are available to the site. Access to the project site will be from Manono Street, which is a County owned and maintained roadway and identified as a secondary arterial with an existing right-of-way width of 60 feet fronting the property. The Department of Public Works (DPW)has recommended that the applicant provide improvements to the property's entire Manono Street frontage consisting of,but not limited to, pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk, drainage improvements, and any required utility relocation. The project will connect to the existing County sewer system. County water is available to the property from Manono Street fronting the property. The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be rectified or which would render the land unusable. The project site is located within Zone "X", area determined to be outside the 500-year floodplain. All development generated storm run-off shall be disposed of on-site and not allowed onto adjacent properties or roadways.
