Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii Page 8 Hawaii County Council prescribed a formula of one(1) parking stall for every 160 square feet of gross floor area for commercial uses (or 123 stalls based on the previously proposed project size). If that ratio is applied to the current proposed project size(9,046 square feet), the new minimum number of off-street parking and loading spaces would be 57. Planning Director's Recommendation for Amending Condition H: The Planning Director supports the proposed amendment to Condition H as the applicant will continue to apply the County Council imposed ratio of one(1)parking stall per 160 square feet of gross floor area for commercial uses but will apply that ratio to a smaller overall gross floor area.Thus,the director supports the reduction of minimum parking spaces articulated in the proposed amendment. Applicant's Requested Amendment of Condition N (Fair Share) and stated reasons: The applicant has requested to update the Fair Share contribution dollar amounts to current(2018)levels.Although the applicant is not proposing the construction of residential units on the subject property, this proposed amendment seeks to update the fair share contribution amounts based on the current percentage change in the Honolulu Consumer Price Index (HCPI) being utilized by the Planning Department from 2007 levels to the current levels. PlanninfZ Director's Recommendation for Amending Condition N: The Planning Director supports this amendment as it is already standard practice for the Planning Department to update Fair Share amounts for change of zone amendments,even if the applicant does not request it. Please note that as the amendment application was submitted in 2017, the Fair Share contribution amounts contained in the applicant's stated amendment request are different(smaller)than those articulated in the Condition attached to the Planning Department's draft Ordinance. Applicant's Request to Delete Condition E (TIAR Timing) and Reason: The applicant has is requesting deletion of Condition E,which requires the submittal of a Traffic Impact Analysis Report(TIAR) to the State Department of Transportation for review and approval prior to issuance of Final Plan Approval.
