The subject property is a 1 acre parcel which has been developed with four single family dwelling units currently on the property. The first dwelling was constructed in 1944 and the most recent one was constructed in 1992. The oldest dwelling is unoccupied and in dilapidated condition. The applicants intend to demolish the unoccupied dwelling to construct a new 2,280 square foot restaurant. The remaining three dwellings will be retained for residential use and are currently occupied by the applicants and other family members. The applicants are requesting a change of zone from Single Family Residential 10,000 square feet(RS-10)to Residential-Commercial Mixed Use 10,000 square feet(RCX-10)for 1 acre of land. b) Statement of objectives and reasons for the request: The applicants are requesting the change of zone to allow the construction of a new 2,280 square foot restaurant. The applicants have a son who is a chef and they would like to help him fulfill his dream of having his own restaurant. The restaurant will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, six days a week from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. It is anticipated that the restaurant will have eight employees in addition to the owner. c) Timeframe and cost: The applicants are currently obtaining a demolition permit to demolish the unoccupied single family dwelling and intend to commence construction of the restaurant as quickly as possible following the approval of the change of zone. The estimated cost of developing the restaurant is $220,000. d) Traffic impacts: No specific Traffic Impact Analysis Report(TIAR)was prepared for the subject application. The subject property is fronted by Kilauea Avenue which is a major collector road that extends from downtown Hilo to the Waiakea Homesteads. At the project site,Kilauea Avenue has two travel lanes and a center turning lane. Existing traffic volumes are high due in part to the proximity of major shopping areas including the Puainako Town Center, KTA Shopping Center and the Prince Kuhio Plaza. The proposed 2,280 square foot restaurant will not add significant traffic to existing volumes in the area. 1
