Additionally, there is no evidence that the flora in the area are particularly desired or used for cultural practices. As the property is improved with a single-family dwelling, no professional flora or fauna surveys were conducted of the site. The property is located in an urban setting in an area dominated by single-family residential uses and has been in residential uses for over 40 years. Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: As there is no evidence of any valued cultural,historical, and/or natural resources found on the site, there is no action to be taken. A condition of approval will be added in the unlikely event that during future construction activities that historic properties such as lava tube openings, concentrations . of artifacts, structural remains or human skeletal remains are found during construction activities. The DLNR-SHPD respectfully requests that the applicant cease work in the immediate vicinity of the find, protect the find from additional disturbance, and contact the DLNR-SHPD office for further guidance. Lastly, this approval is made with the understanding that the applicant remains responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements in connection with the approved use, prior to its commencement or establishment upon the subject properties. Additional governmental requirements may include,but are not limited to, the issuance of building permits, the installation of approved wastewater disposal systems, compliance with the Fire Code, installation of improvements required by the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), among many others. Compliance with all applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this approval; failure to comply with such requirements will be considered a violation that may result in enforcement action by the Planning Department and/or the affected agencies. Based on the above findings, approval of this change of zone request from a Single-Family Residential- 15,000 square feet (RS-15) to a Single-Family Residential 10,000 - square feet (RS-10) zoning district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity, convenience and the general welfare.
