Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman

County of Hawaii
25 Aupuni Street

Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members:
Change of Zone Application (REZ 96-16)
Applicant: Lawrence L. Stevens
Request: A-la to RS-10
Tax Mangy: 6-5-7:25
The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on December 5, 1996, voted to
recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill for approximately 49,700 square
feet of land by changing the district classification from Agricultural (A-la) to Single Family
Residential (RS-10). The property is located along the west side of Lindsey Road,
approximately 250 north of the Waimea Park at Waimea, South Kohala, Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending
favorable consideration of the change of zone:
In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable
goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is
only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and
decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve quality growth.
The implications of these evaluations and decisions must also be considered as they
may have an impact on other similar areas of the County.
The Change of Zone request from Agricultural-1 acre (A-la) to Single Family
Residential (RS-10) zoned district will conform to the following goals, policies and
standards of the Land Use Elements of the General Plan:
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the Coun[y Council
Page 2
o Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in
keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County.
o Zone urban- and rural- types of uses in areas with ease of access to community
services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and
facilities.
o Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or
projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County.
o The county shall encourage the development and maintenance of communities
meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social
environment.
o Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation,
district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with
adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access and
public need.
Approval of this request would also compliment the following goals and policies
of the Single Family Residential Element of the General Plan:
o To maximize choices of single-family residential lots and/or housing for
residents of the County.
o To ensure compatible uses within and adjacent to single-family residential zoned
areas.
o To provide single-family residential areas conveniently located to public and
private services, shopping, other community activities and convenient access to
employment centers.
o The County shall designate and allocate single-family residential zoned lands at
varying densities for future use in accordance with the needs of the communities
and the stated goals, policies and standards.
o Areas shall have basic improvements and amenities necessary for immediate
use.
o Areas shall be limited to low-density and medium density residential uses.
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 3
Approval of this request would also contribute to a diverse socio-economic housing mix
within the region. In this manner, the request would also complement the following goals and
policies articulated in the Housing Element of the General Plan:
o Attain safe, sanitary, and livable housing for the residents of the County of
Hawaii.
o Attain a diversity of socio-economic housing mix throughout the different parts
of the County.
o Maintain a housing supply which allows a variety of choice.
o Develop better places to live in Hawaii County by creating viable communities
with decent housing and suitable living environments for our people.
The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the
General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the
coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of
the physical relationship among the various land uses. The requested zone change from
Agricultural-1 acre (A-la) to Single Family Residential-10,000 square foot (RS-10)
conforms to the LUPAG Map, which designates the area for Medium Density Urban
Development, which allows for village and neighborhood commercial and residential
and related functions (3-story commercial; residential---up to 35 units per acre).
The proposed development would implement the goals, policies and courses of
action of the General Plan for South Kohala. In the implementation of these goals and
policies and standards, the applicant will complete its proposed project in compliance
with all of the codes and standards referenced above. The proposed development is
located within close proximity to all necessary urban services and facilities, and will
serve the area of South Kohala. Therefore, the proposed rezoning and development
will complement the land usage within [he community and neighborhood it is proposed
to be located in.
The request is compatible with the Waimea Design Plan. The Waimea Design
Plan suggests the area be maintained for Medium Density Urban uses. The subject
property is located in an area designated as Urban by the State Land Use Commission.
An Urban classification is compatible with the requested Single Family Residential
(RS-10) zoning.
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 4
The request is compatible with adjacent zoned uses. Surrounding properties to
the south are zoned Single Family Residential (RS-7.5) and Single Family Residential
(RS-10). Land uses in the immediate vicinity include single family residential uses and
vacant lands on lands zoned A-la. The southeastern portion of the property abuts lands
zoned CV-7.5.
Adequate public services and utilities are available to accommodate the
proposed use. Water, electricity and other essential services and utilities are available
to accommodate the expansion of this proposed two (2) lot subdivision. Concerns
regarding drainage, solid waste disposal and wastewater disposal will be addressed
through the conditions of approval of this change of zone request and during review of
the actual plans for the proposed single family dwellings.
The Department of Public Works states that Lindsey Road has a 60-foot
right-of-way with a 18-foot wide pavement. The design of the interior roadways,
including the provision of adequate sight distance at with Lindsey Road, shall meet
with the approval of the Department of Public Works and the State Department of
Transportation. A condition of approval is being included to ensure that these
infrastructural improvements are installed.
The applicant stated there is no record of historic sites on the subject property.
However, the lands were probably never surveyed. Should any unanticipated historic
sites be found, the applicant will immediately notify the Department of Land and
Natural Resources, Historic Preservation Division.
Based on the foregoing, the approval of the Change of Zone request from
Agricultural (A-la) to Single Family Residential (RS-10) zoned district would result in
an appropriate land use pattern that will further the public convenience, necessity and
general welfare.
For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-95E, the Lalamilo - Puukapu
Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council

4. The General Plan Land Use Pattern for TMK:6-5-007:25 is designated as a
medium density area. Our intended single-family residential use falls within
this category.
The goals, policies and standards, as set forth for such development, such as "to
re-habilitate a deteriorating single-family residential area, or to provide
convenience being located to public and private services, shopping and other
community related activities:' Under which policies for the county would
"review and amend if necessary landuse ordinance and codes to include
considerations for rural-style residential subdivision in appropriate locations."
Such standards such as having basic improvement and the necessary amenities
would be adhered to the area, "shall be limited to low-density and medium-
density residential uses.
Our proposal for change of zone and later subdividing, to allow both owners to
erect their own dwelling falls within the parameters set by the county.
5. To the best of my knowledge; there are no archaeological sites on the
property. There has never been a problem with drainage and there are no
unique floral and fauna species that have been found on this noted lot, TMK: 6-
5-007:25.
An additional roadway, would add two additional cars commuting down the
roadway.
