Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`i Page 2 provide the applicant and DPW a one-year timeframe from the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy to determine if there are impacts on the West Lanikaula Street and Kino`ole Street intersection from full- turn movements at the West Lanikaula Street access. If DPW determines that there is an impact,the applicant will be required to modify the turning movements at the West Lanikaula Street access, at their cost, within 6-months of DPW's determination. The Ordinance conditions attached to this letter reflect the Windward Planning Commission changes discussed above. The following is the original Planning Director's Recommendation to the Planning Commission which may or may not be consistent with the ordinance conditions attached. The applicant is requesting a Change the zoning district from Single-Family Residential— 10,000 square feet(RS-10)to General Commercial—20,000 square feet (CG-20)zoning district for 40,282-square feet of land in order to develop a new, single-story, 7,500 square-foot office building to house banking functions at this site. The height of the structure is not expected to exceed forty-five(45)feet,the maximum allowable by the Zoning Code. While higher than normal for a single-story building,this added height is designed to provide for the option to accommodate a mezzanine within the structure to accommodate office and related uses. Additionally,the applicant is proposing a drive-through ATM along the northern boundary of the subject property. This new structure would provide the bank the option to either relocate some of its operations or to provide another branch in proximity to the University of Hawai`i at Hilo and this area of the community. The applicant is proposing a 36- stall parking lot(including two handicapped stalls)to accommodate customer and employee parking. This on-site parking and landscaping would be provided as required by the Zoning Code. 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 an RS-10 to a CG-20 zoning district conforms to applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan. 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 request to change the zoning to a CG-20 district conforms to the LUPAG Map, which designates the property and the surrounding area as High Density Urban. Such designation allows general commercial, multiple family residential and related services
