On-site parking will be provided as required by the Zoning Code. The applicant, a lifelong resident of Pahoa, owns and operates a gas station, auto repair shop called Paul's Repair Service, and a convenience store called N&P Mart on the CV- 10 zoned portion of TMK 1-5-114:020. In 2004 he acquired a 21,750 square foot portion of an adjoining parcel, zoned RS-10, and had this area consolidated with the CV-10 zoned portion of parcel 20, creating a split zoned lot. Since then, at least 10,000 square feet of the newly acquired area was used for activities associated with the commercial uses, primarily as a driveway and parking.

The request to change the zoning to a CV-10 district conforms to the LUPAG Map, which designates the property and the surrounding area as Medium Density Urban. Such designation allows village and neighborhood commercial uses and single-family and multiple-family residential uses and related functions, up to 35 units per acre. In addition to being consistent with the LUPAG Map, the request would also support the following goals and policies of the General Plan Land Use and Economic elements:
