Valerie T. Poindexter, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 3 • Approval of this request would not be contrary to the General Plan or Zoning Code nor the original reasons for granting the Change of Zone. There have not been any significant changes to the General Plan or Zoning Code for this area since the subject rezone was approved in 2007. At that time the General Plan LUPAG Map designation for the property was the same that it is today, Industrial. This designation includes uses such as manufacturing and processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities, light industrial and industrial-commercial uses. Since the subject property was rezoned in 2007, there have been two other properties in the vicinity that have been rezoned from RS-10 to MCX-20. To the northwest, a recent Change of Zone Ordinance 16-087 from residential to commercial was approved for three (3) consecutive parcels on Manono Street. According to the Department of Public Works, the Zoning Map (Ordinance No. 187) classifies Lanikaula Avenue as a secondary arterial of 80 feet width and Hinano Street as a collector of 60 feet width, however, the General Plan (facilities map) classifies Lanikaula Avenue as a Major Collector street. Section 13-2-4(c) Standards of the General Plan defines a Major Collector as: "Any street supplementary to the arterial street system that is a means of transit between this system and smaller areas; used to some extent for through traffic and to access abutting properties; collect and distribute traffic between neighborhood and arterial system. Major collectors shall have a minimum right-of-way of 60 feet." Based on the General Plan definition, the Planning Department continues to recommend that Lanikaula Avenue have a 60-foot right-of-way between Kanoelehua Avenue and Kilauea Avenue. The Subdivision Code classifies Hinano Street as a minor street requiring a 50-foot right-of-way. Although the General Plan road standards section indicates minor streets in commercial/industrial areas need a 60-foot right-of-way, the Planning Department recommends a 50-foot right-of-way as this block of Hinano Street will remain in the Single-Family Zoning district in accordance with Section 14.3.5.2.1(f) of the General Plan Land Use Courses of Action, which states: "Within the Waiakea Houselots "medium density" area, commercial development shall be focused on the major streets---Kekuanao`a, Pi`ilani, Manono, and Lanikaula, while the interior blocks should be zoned primarily for single-and multi-family residential use." Additionally, Conditions E and F continue to require roadway improvements to Lanikaula and Hinano Street in support of the MCX zoning.
