The Windward Planning Commission, at its duly held public hearing on December 6, 2018,
recommended for your approval the proposed legislative bill for an Change of Zone from an
Single -Family Residential -10,000 square feet (RS -10) to a Neighborhood Commercial -20,000
square feet (CN -20) zoning district. The property is located Manono Street, approximately 185
feet south of its intersection with Hualani Street, Waiakea House Lots, South Hilo, Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending
favorable consideration of the request:
The applicant is requesting a Change of Zone from a Single -Family Residential -
10,000 square feet (RS -10) to a Neighborhood Commercial -20,000 square feet (CN -20)
zoning district in order to develop a paved parking lot for tenant employees and overflow
parking for customers of the Manono Street Marketplace adjacent to the south of the
subject property. The applicant intends to commence construction and infrastructure
improvements immediately upon securing development approvals and permits. The cost
of construction is estimated at more than $100,000.
Hawai `i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer

and Members of the County Council

In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals,
policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through
such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made
to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the General Plan
and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must
also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County.
The Change of Zone request from a Single -Family Residential -10,000 square
feet (RS -10) to a Neighborhood Commercial -20,000 square feet (CN -20) zoning
district will conform to, among others, the goals, policies and standards of the
General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements. The General Plan is intended to be
used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the
County. The overall goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands
in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. Land Use is one of the principal
focal points of public concern and policy. The Land Use Element provides the primary
basis for direct control and guidance of publicly and privately -owned resources.
The request conforms to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan in
that the proposed development will be developed in an area adequately served by necessary
services such as water, utilities and transportation systems. The proposed project conforms
to the Commercial Development goal which states "provide commercial developments that
complement the overall pattern of transportation and land usage within the island's regions,
communities, and neighborhoods."
The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General
Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated
growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical
relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and
non -urban form for areas within the County. The project area is designated Medium
Density Urban on the LUPAG Map. This designation allows village and neighborhood
commercial and single family and multiple family residential and related functions
(multiple family residential — up to 35 units per acre). The requested zoning would be
consistent with the urban designation on the LUPAG Map for this area of Hilo. The
requested zoning is also consistent with the following goals, policies, and actions of the
General Plan:
Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair
and Members of the County Council
Page 3
LAND USE — GENERAL
Zone urban- and rural -types of uses in areas with ease of access to community
services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities.
Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected
needs of neighborhood, community, region and County.
Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation, district
goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent zoned
uses, availability of public services and utilities, access, and public need.
LAND USE — COMMERCIAL
■ Provide for commercial developments that maximize convenience to users.
■ Provide commercial developments that complement the overall pattern of
transportation and land usage within the island's regions, communities, and
neighborhoods.
■ Commercial facilities shall be developed in areas adequately served by necessary
services such as water, utilities, sewers, and transportation systems. Should such
services not be available, the development of more intensive uses should be in
concert with a localized program of public and private capital improvements to
meet the expected increased needs.
■ Within the Waiakea Houselots "medium density" area, commercial development
shall be focused on the major streets --- Kekuanao`a, Piilani, Manono, and
Lanikaula, while the interior blocks should be zoned primarily for single- and
multi -family residential use.
The State Land Use designation for the subject property is Urban. The property is
designated "Existing Urban Developmet" by the Land Study Bureau's Productivity Rating.
The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP), adopted in 1975, suggests multi -family
residential uses in this area, however, this area is transitioning to higher -density
Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair
and Members of the County Council
Page 4
commercial type uses. The proposed change of zone would complement the existing
commercial land uses that already exist in this area and will provide for an orderly
development of the area.
The property is 22,500 square feet in size and is rectangular in shape. The property
is located at 663 Manono Street in the Waiakea House Lots. The parcel was formerly used
for a single-family residence that has since been demolished and the site has been cleared
and graded. The property is currently vacant of any structures or improvements.
The land uses in the area are a mix of residential and commercial uses. The Manono
Street Marketplace is located adjacent to the property to the south, which is zoned CN -20.
Rezonings in the area from Single -Family Residential (RS) to Neighborhood Commercial
(CN) include properties to the north and south, and other properties to the northwest across
Manono Street and to the southeast. Businesses include the Manono Street Marketplace,
Big Island Candies, Atebarra Chips, Kilauea Kreations II, and others.
The proposed parking lot is intended for tenant employees and overflow parking for
customers of the Manono Street Marketplace adjacent to the south of the subject property.
While the Zoning Code does not explicitly permit stand-alone parking lots within the CN
District the Director considers the proposed parking lot use accessory to the Manono
Marketplace retail establishment use and therefore, the parking lot use shall also be
permitted per Section 25-5-102 (b), Hawaii County Code. In order to ensure that the
parking lot use is accessory to the adjacent retail use, the Director is recommending
consolidation of the subject parcel with the Manono Marketplace parcel
(TMK: 2-2-034:085) prior to securing Final Plan Approval for construction of the parking
lot.
All utilities and services are available to the site. Access to the project site will
be from Manono Street, which is a County owned and maintained roadway with 22 feet of
pavement within an existing right-of-way width of 50 feet fronting the subject property.
The City of Hilo roadway map identifies Manono Street as a major collector road with a
minimum required right-of-way width of 60 feet. The Department of Public Works (DPW)
recommends that the applicant provide improvements to the property's entire Manono
Street frontage consisting of, but not limited to, pavement widening with concrete curb,
gutter and sidewalk, drainage improvements, and any required utility relocation meeting
with the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act and the approval of DPW.
Additionally, DPW recommends that the applicant design, purchase, and install streetlights
Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair
and Members of the County Council
Page 5
and traffic control devices as may be established by the Traffic Division. The
improvements shall be located within any future road widening setback as may be
established by the Planning Department. The preceding are proposed as conditions of this
favorable recommendation.
While county sewer and water are available from within Manono Street fronting the
subject property, the applicant is not proposing to utilize either utility for its proposed
parking lot project. The Director is recommending conditions requiring connection to these
utilities should the applicant initiate a commercial use that requires water or wastewater
service.
The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be
rectified, or which would render the land unusable. The project site is located within Zone
"X", area determined to be outside the 500 -year floodplain. All development generated
storm run-off shall be disposed of on-site and not allowed onto adjacent properties or
roadways.
No professional floral or faunal surveys were conducted of the site due to the
history of the property being used for residential and commercial purposes. By letter dated
January 11, 2018 responding to a request for a grading permit application, the DLNR-
SHPD determined that no historic properties would be affected.
The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statues,
relating to Coastal Zone Management. The project site is not proximate to the shoreline
and is situated outside of the SMA. There is no record of any designated public access to
the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the site. According to the applicant, no
valued cultural, historical or natural resources exist on the properties and there is no
evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the
site. Thus, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any adverse impact on
cultural or historical resources in the area. Therefore, no action is necessary to protect these
rights.
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 property. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of
building permits, the installation of approved wastewater disposal systems, compliance
Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair
.and Members of the County Council
Page 6
with the Fire Code, installation of improvements required by the American with
Disabilities Act (ADA), compliance with DLNR SHPD requirements, 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 preceding, the approval of the change of zone request from a
Single -Family Residential (RS -10) to a Neighborhood Commercial (CN -20) zoning
district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the general
public.
The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map),
Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code, is provided for your favorable
consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill.
We are enclosing copies of the staff Background, Planning Director's Recommendation, the Power
point presentation and a draft transcript of the hearing for your information.

The Subject properbi IS designated Urban. As such, a boundary annendment- to
cover the requested Cn-20 zone is not neaded.
B. �Qo.�,WvGenerai Plan
Tine County Geneeral Plan Land Usie NA ern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) rylap
designates the Site Medium Density. As such, a General Plan arnencirrient to the
LUPAG main would not be requOred. it should be rioted that while the Ph.nning
Director initiated interim arnandfrients include some changes to the House lot
area, note is being proposed for the swbj,-ct parcel.
Relative to the N'ledium Density designation, the General Plan @11ovils consideration
for "'Village and neighborhood commercial, residential an to 35 units per acre'.
"The rewuesied zoning and planned useswouldbe consistent with the uses
envisioned within the Medium area.
C, Hlio Comaiumt Develoomen't N8"
The Co-mr,nunity Development Plan (CDP) attempts to further define the General
Pl'mi and serves as a quide for decision -makers. It was aclopted by the Planning
Commission in 1975, aver 25 nears ago. Although reviewed by the County Council,
the CDP was never ado ned.
The CDR Land Use Concept map identifies a RKI-4 designation for this area.
Although the proposed uses are not residential, it should be noted that requested
CN -20 zoningwould allow single and multi -family residential uses.
Notwithstanding the technical inconsistency, however, it should be noted that the
General Plan has been amended three (3) tries, and much has occurred in the way
of development n Hilo and jt�_.,,3utlyhng areas. Accordingly, some of the planning
assumptions r --Elected in the CDP are obsolete. An updated CDP would be timely.
Absent the ava"labillity of --,i rehevant inlermedlary planning do'cument, one must
rely only or, the General Plan LUPAC-- m,-ap and policies. in the end, the General Plan
is more crib -,@l, as the County Charter Trrequires all zone changes to be consistent

D. FawlaRe-source-9
The applicant does not believe that rare or endangered faunal resources are
Hkely to be found with in or proximate to the subject site, This is due to the
already developed state of the subject, area (anti the fact that the site is

Oka'Aina decisions, the issue relative to native 'riaviai-lan gather -Ing and"fishing
rights must be addressed. Specifically, there rnust be a discussion of the
cultural, historical, and natural resources anel associated tradition and
customary practices of this site,
in this situation, the subject site is not adjacent and /or proximate to tile
shoreline. As such, gathering of rinarine life and coastal access is not an issue.
it is not known whether the subject or Immediate surrounding area was used
in the.recent past for the gathering of plants by native Hawaiians. However, as
the site has; be -an cleared, it would .appear high) Y Unlikely that the site would
serve such purpose today.
it is not known soihethe; the subject or ifnmediate surrounding area %vas used

Che needed access vvithin the site.
Based on the above, it does not apptialr that. the ;_,project ;,vouldl have any
potential adverse impa"trehative to The culturai.-i'md historical resources of the
area.
H. Water and Coastal Resourcps
The Hilo area is underlain by basal groundwater. 'The 'Y'Vailoa River is
approximately M mile from the subject site. The coastline is about a mile away.
The proposed development kAlill MITI,2rt to the COU"Ity'S -system along Mai- ono
Street. This should further reduce potenti?l adverse- groundwater or nearshore
water impacts resulting fronrn tbis project.
Father as noted earlier, Prl-Or tri the iristallation or use of any drywells on the
site to aeldre-ss on-site drair age co,,Icerns, the appropriate UIC permit from the
State will be taken, At that time, M-1pacts to water and coastal resources will be
carefully eyamined.
Dust
"rhe -existing baclkgri,-und ambient, nc�Isp levPI in this area is wind, foliage, birds,
si
and ttv�, like. However-, the signi -mol- manmade noise i nfluenc-ed by tree
traffic jssoc-4,-ted along both Mat ono ��,nd Kekauanaoa Streets. VVI�I-h the traffic,
the nolso la�,vei is relatively high, aveagingmore that; 55 Ldn.
To mitigate this noise to the project, the applicant plans to install appropriate
landscaping alae the frontage of the propertNI and to the sides.
There will also be short-term noise impacts during the construction phase.: o
mitigate this impact, the development of this project- particularly the site work
- will be Urnited to daylight hours and on weekdays. Contractors will also be
7
required to comply with established State Department of Health guidelines and
standards relating to noise and emission controls.
The proposed development should not generate any direct air quality irnpacts.
As the project itse if is riot e -x p2cted to have uses -that generate adverse air
pollutants, -he only discernible air quality impact li,;ould be associated tvith
vehicular traffic to and frorn the site.=PJhfle the arlded traffic vAlr have an
Impact to the arinbiant ah- quality, The irnp act should not be slignifican"t, This is
due in part to t'he higher EPA standardsfor vehicular air ennissions and the
prevailing trade vninds.
All the required parkinZ area within the project site will be paved with an all-
weather, dust free surface. Landscapin1g, viijil also be requ Ired as part of the
Plan Approval requirement. As such, except for minimal construction dust in
the beginninZ, long term dust gemerated by -the project should be insignificant.
J. Scenic and Visual Considerations
In the Natural Beauty Pie neat rof the General Plan, there are sites or area listed
as scenic resources. The subject site is not fisted as a scenic site. Haviever,
there were a few examples cited in the Hfilo area, The roost notable is the
backdrop of Miami Kea and the 1-flflo Bay.
The proposed deveiapment would riot have any visual impacts on Mauna Kea
or Hilo Bay. The view of Mauna Kee in this area is somewhat visible frorn
Manono Street. Since no structure vvill be built at this' hne the vievi luvouid not
be impeded from this pub!lcroad.
The view of Hilo Bay is barely visible froirn this area. Given th-e location of the
site, vehicles traveling along I'Vlanono Street should not have this view

4. Evaluation of Afternative
Leaving the propertyinits current state would not maximize the use of
the )and. The land could continue to be used residentially, Hoykiever,
tierern-ay be some saftetry tactor, given the collector road function of
Manono Street. This would also mean having to redirect cornniercial
USI -S tO Othe" area Hilo, areas that arc- increasingly, becoming less
available. '
There wouid also be diminished tax revenues and less services to tht,
While ;aIternative residential densities are possible, those uses rna�, not
be desirable, given its frontage along a heavily traveled road and the
cost to provide, the required off-site infrastructure.
Neither, of the above alternatives could best deliver some needed off-
site infrastructure improvement as iitiould the requested commercial
project. The proposed project would make improvements fronting
13
Marion Street. Then, 'roo, the use could provide need commercial retail
and office service foo 5 hVIALL business to the area community.
In that regard the project in --tatality xivauld be consistent Vilth the land,

Pursuant to said requirernent, a discus!slon of the pertinent policies and goals
and the pro-lect's relation follmvvs"
Goals
A strong, viable aconomy Characterized by stability, diversity, and growth

nourishes a sense of corn -munity responsibility and caring of participation in

Discussion
The proposed projezt would achieve these goals. It 1,Aiould provide both direct t
nd indivert employment opporturiffies for current and future residents for the
island; contribute to the island's overall tax base and hence, increase both
State and County revenus,.s; and complement and suppott other econonlic uses
and in turn, contrib-ute ;:co tho stability, diversity, and growth of local and
regional economies.
This employment cipportun-Oty vijould carne, without adversely affecting the
environment. There is no know %didlifle or plant life listed as either endangered
or threatened on the subject sike. Then, too, because of it historical residential
use, the the fac that the site has been cleared and leveled, the likelihood of
finding archaeological features ori the site is quite remote.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this grading permit application that was received in our office on October 1,
2015. The application proposes grading of the 0.5165 -acre parcel. The owner intends to utilize this area for parking
for an adjacent commercial establishment.
A review of our records indicated that there has been no archaeological inventory survey (AIS) completed for this
parcel. The parcel is has been previously impacted by urban and commercial development, as well as grading. In
addition, the previous owner demolished the former residence. It is unlikely that surface historic properties remain
on the parcel.
Based on current information, SHPD's determination is no historic properties affected. Therefore, issuance of the
permit for the grading activities may proceed.
In the unlikely event that historic properties such as lava tube openings, concentrations of artifacts, structural
remains or human skeletal remains are found during construction activities please cease work in the immediate
vicinity of the find, protect the find from additional disturbance, and contact the State Historic Preservation Division
at(808)933-7651.

Request: RS -10 to CN -20
Tax Map Key 2-2-034:086
We have reviewed the subject application and have the following comments and conditions.
Water can be made available from an existing 8 -inch waterline within Manono Street which fronts the
subject parcel in accordance with the Department's existing water availability conditions, which are
subject to change without notice.
The Department has no objection to the proposed application subject to the applicant understanding
and accepting the following conditions:
The Department requests that the applicant submit estimated maximum daily water usage
calculations for the proposed use, prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the State of
Hawaii, for review and approval. The water usage calculations should include the total estimated
daily water usage in gallons per day and the estimated peak -flow in gallons per minute (GPM),
including irrigation use.
Upon receipt of the water usage calculations above, the Department will make a determination as
to the water commitment deposit amount and prevailing facilities charge, which is subject to
change, to be paid. Based on the water demand calculations, the Department will determine the
appropriate service lateral and meter size required.
2. The proposed zoning will require the installation of a reduced pressure type backflow prevention
assembly, within five (5) feet of the meter on private property. If a larger or additional meter is
required, a backflow prevention assembly will also be required for that meter. The installation of
the backflow prevention assembly(s) must be inspected and approved by the Department before
water service can be activated.

Request: RS -10 to CN -20
Tax Map Key 2-2-034:036
This is in response to your letter dated October 16, 2018,
The Department has no objection to the proposed change of zone as water is not required for the proposed
application.
Please be informed that the existing 5/8 -inch ureter assigned to the subject parcel will not generate a significant
increase in water demand; therefore, the requested water demand calculations will not be required.
The Department acknowledges that potable water is Hawaii Island's most precious resource and encourages our
communities to promote water conservation and reserve the highest quality of water for the most valuable end
use, which is the sustenance of life. Alternate methods (i.e. reclaimed or reused coater) for non -potable demand
of water or irrigation should be implemented.
Furthermore, the existing 8 -inch waterline within Manono Street is inadequate to provide the required 2,000
gallons per minute of flow for fire protection, as per the Department's Water System Standards.
Should there be any questions, please contact Mr. Troy Sam ura of our Water Resources and Planning Branch at

RECOMMENDATION
GHC FAMILY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
CHANGE OF ZONE APPLCIATION (REZ 18-000230)
Upon careful review of the request against the guidelines for granting a change of zone,
the Planning Director is recommending that a favorable recommendation of the Change of
Zone request be forwarded to the County Council. Since this recommendation is made
without the benefit of public testimony, the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this
recommendation based upon additional inforination presented at the public hearing. This
favorable recommendation is based on the following findings:
The applicant is requesting a Change of Zone from a Single -Family Residential -
10,000 square feet (RS -10) to a Neighborhood Commercial=20,000 square feet (CN -20)
zoning district in order to develop a paved parking lot for tenant employees and overflow
parking for customers of the Manono Street Marketplace adjacent to the south of the
subject property. The applicant intends to commence construction and infrastructure
improvements immediately upon securing development approvals and pen -nits. The cost
of constriction is estimated at more than $100,000.
In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable
goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only
through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions
can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the
General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and
decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the
County.
The Change of Zone request from a Single -Family Residential -10,000 square
feet (RS -10) to a Neighborhood Commercial -20,000 square feet (CN -20) zoning
district will conform to, among others, the goals, policies and standards of the
General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements. The General Plan is intended to be
used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the
County. The overall goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands
in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. Land Use is one of the
principal focal points of public concern and policy. The Land Use Element provides the
primary basis for direct control and guidance of publicly and privately -owned resources.
The request conforms to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan in
that the proposed development will be developed in an area adequately served by
necessary services such as water, utilities and transportation systems. The proposed
project confonns to the Coininercial Development goal which states "provide commercial
developments that complement the overall pattern -of transportation and land usage within
the island's regions, communities, and neighborhoods."
The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General
Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated
growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical
relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban
and non -urban form for areas within the County. The project area is designated Medium
Density Urban on the LUPAG Map. This designation allows village and neighborhood
commercial and single family and multiple family residential and related Rinctions
(multiple family residential — up to 35 units per acre). The requested zoning would be
consistent with the urban designation on the LUPAG Map for this area of Hilo. The
requested zoning is also consistent with the following goals, policies, and actions of the
General Plan:
LAND USE — GENERAL
Zone urban- and neral -types of uses in areas with ease of access to community
services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities.
Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected
needs of neighborhood, colmnunity, region and County.
Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation,
district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent
zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access, and public need.
-2-
LAND USE — COMMERCIAL
■ Provide for commercial developments that maximize convenience to users.
■ Provide commercial developments that complement the overall pattern of
transportation and land usage within the island's regions, communities, and
neighborhoods.
Commercial facilities shall be developed in areas adequately served by necessary
services such as water, utilities, sewers, and transportation systems. Should such
services not be available, the development of more intensive uses should be in
concert with a localized program of public and private capital improvements to
meet the expected increased needs.
® Within the Waidkea Houselots "medium density" area, commercial development
shall be focused on the major streets --- Kekuando`a, Piilani, Manono, and
Lanikaula, while the interior blocks should be zoned primarily for single- and
multi -family residential use.
The State Land Use designation for the subject property is Urban. The property is
designated "Existing Urban Developmet" by the Land Study Bureau's Productivity
Rating. The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP), adopted in 1975, suggests multi-
family residential uses in this area, however, this area is transitioning to higher -density
commercial type uses. The proposed change of zone would complement the existing
commercial land uses that already exist in this area and will provide for an orderly
development of the area.
The property is 22,500 square feet in size and is rectangular in shape. The
property is located at 663 Manono Street in the Waiakea House Lots. The parcel was
fonnerly used for a single-family residence that has since been demolished and the site
has been cleared and graded. The property is currently vacant of any strictures or
improvements.
The land uses in the area are a mix of residential and commercial uses. The
Manono Street Marketplace is located adjacent to the property to the south, which is
zoned CN -20. Rezonings in the area from Single -Family Residential (RS) to
Neighborhood Commercial (CN) include properties to the north and south, and other
-3-
properties to the northwest across Manono Street and to the southeast. Businesses include
the Manono Street Marketplace, Big Island Candies, Atebarra Chips, Kilauea Kreations
II, and others.
The proposed parking lot is intended for tenant employees and overflow parking
for customers of the Manono Street Marketplace adjacent to the south of the subject
property. While the Zoning Code does not explicitly pen -nit stand-alone parking lots
within the CN District the Director considers the proposed parking lot use, accessory to
the Manono Marketplace retail establishment use and therefore, the parking lot use shall
also be permitted per Section 25-5-102 (b), Hawaii County Code. In order to ensure that
the parking lot use is accessory to the adjacent retail use, the Director is recommending
consolidation of the subject parcel with the Manono Marketplace parcel
(TMK: 2-2-034:085) prior to securing Final Plan Approval for constriction of the
parking lot.
All utilities and services are available to the site. Access to the project site will
be from Manono Street, which is a County owned and maintained roadway with 22 feet
of pavement within an existing right-of-way width of 50 feet fronting the subject
property. The City of Hilo roadway map identifies Manono Street as a major collector
road with a minimum required right-of-way width of 60 feet. The Department of Public
Works (DPW) recommends that the applicant provide improvements to the property's
entire Manono Street frontage consisting of, but not limited to, pavement widening with
concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk, drainage improvements, and any required utility
relocation meeting with the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act and the
approval of DPW. Additionally, DPW recommends that the applicant design, purchase,
and install streetlights and traffic control devices as may be established by the Traffic
Division. The improvements shall be located within any filture road widening setback as
may be established by the Planning Department. The preceding are proposed as
conditions of this .favorable recommendation.
While county sewer and water are available from within Manono Street fronting
the subject property, the applicant is not proposing to utilize either utility for its proposed
parking lot project. The Director is recommending conditions requiring connection to
-4-
these utilities should the applicant initiate a commercial use that requires water or
wastewater service.
The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be
rectified, or which would render the land unusable. The project site is located within
Zone "X", area detennined to be outside the 500 -year floodplain. All development
generated stone run-off shall be disposed of on-site and not allowed onto adjacent
properties or roadways.
No professional floral or faunal surveys were conducted of the site due to the
history of the property being used for residential and commercial purposes. By letter
dated January 11, 2018 responding to a request for a grading permit application, the
DLNR-SHPD determined that no historic properties would be affected.
The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Rawai`i Revised Statues,
relating to Coastal Zone Management. The project site is not proximate to the
shoreline and is situated outside of the SMA. There is no record of any designated public
access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the site. According to the
applicant, no valued cultural, historical or natural resources exist on the properties and
there is no evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being
practiced on the site. Thus, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any
adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the area. Therefore, no action is
necessary to protect these rights.
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 property. Additional governmental requirements may include 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), compliance with DLNR SHPD requirements, 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
-5-
agencies.
Based on the preceding, the approval of the change of zone request from a
Single-family Residential (RS -10) to a Neighborhood Commercial (CN -20) zoning
district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the
general public.
The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map),
Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code, is provided for your favorable
consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill.

The Applicant is requesting a Change of Zone from a Single -Family Residential — 10,000 square
feet designation to a Neighborhood Commercial — 20,000 square foot zoning district in order to
develop a paved parking lot for tenant employees and overflow parking for customers of the
Manono Street Marketplace adjacent to the south of the subject property. The Zoning Code does
not explicitly permit standalone parking lots within the Neighborhood Commercial District;
however, the Director considers the parking lot use accessory to the Manono Street Marketplace
retail establishment and, therefore, the parking lot use shall be permitted should the zoning
change. We also added a condition requiring consolidation of this lot with the Manono Street
Marketplace lot, so you've got that connection there.
For—County zoning for the subject parcel is currently Single -Family Residential – 10,000
square feet. As indicated in the yellow color, there are several other parcels in close proximity
that have been rezoned to Neighborhood Commercial – 20,000 square feet. Again, we've got the
Manono Street Marketplace, Atebara Chips, Tokunaga Stores, and then we've got some General
Commercial – 20,000 square feet, and this is the Big Island Candies property to the east.
The State Land designation for the subject parcel is Urban as indicated in pink. The General
Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designation for -11h& -subject parcel and much of the
surrounding area is Medium Density Urban which will allow"for commercial -type zonings, and
then some in High Density Urban as indicated in the red color
Here's an aerial photograph of the subject parcel outlined in red. Again, we've got Manono
Street running generally north -south through the slide. You can see the-Manono Street
Marketplace hereto the south. The subject parcel in the photograph is vegetated. This is an old
photograph. It's since been cleared and graded and has no improvements of, egetation at this
point. Again, access to the subject parcel will come off of Manono Street as well as access will
come through the Manono Street Marketplace here as well
Here is the Applicant's submitted site plan. Agam,_we've got Manono Street running generally
north -south through the slide., You've got the access; again coming.off of Manono Street, single
access, and then an access here from the Manono Street Marketplace.
Here's a view of the property from :across Manono Street. Here are the buildings and the
marketplace. The property is generally this area here. And, a view of Manono Street looking
south in the upper left with the subject parcel on the left hand side and the lower right view of
