Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 3 Approval of this request is not be contrary to the General Plan or Zoning Code nor with the original reasons for granting the Change of Zone. There have not been any significant changes to the General Plan for this area since the change of zone was approved in 1997. At that time the General Plan LUPAG Map designation for the property was the same that it is today, High Density Urban. This designation allows for general commercial,multiple family residential (up to a density of 87 units per acre) and related services, thus the current General Commercial (CG) zoning is consistent with the General Plan designation. Additionally, the proposed commercial development is still consistent with the permitted uses allowed under the General Commercial (CG) zoning district in the Zoning Code. Lastly, the reasons for granting the original change of zone have not changed. The applicants still proposed to construct a 4,000-square foot single-story structure for retail/office use and related improvements to help accommodate the relocation of their current office from Waianuenue Avenue to the new proposed office, which is the same development proposed when the original rezoning request was approved. The Department of Public Works (DPW)provided comments to the original change of zone request. DPW recommended that access to the subject property be limited to Kamana Street and be prohibited from Kino`ole Street. They commented that improvements along the frontage of Kamana Street shall include construction of commercial standard concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk along with pavement widening and transition. Additionally, DPW recommended to eliminate the grass planting strip and provide full width commercial standard concrete sidewalk along the Kino`ole Street frontage. This requirement was also conditioned as part of the change of zone approval directly north across Kamana Street for Change of Zone Ordinance 09 166. This favorable recommendation is made with the understanding that the applicants remain responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements in connection with uses permitted within the General Commercial zoning district,prior to its commencement or establishment upon the subject property. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of building permits, 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 favorable recommendation; 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.
