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
