Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Chair Chung and Council Members: SUBJECT: Change of Zone Application (REZ 19-000235) Applicant: Charles Umemoto Request: A-3a to RS-10 Tax Map Key: 2-4-080:013 The Windward Planning Commission,at its duly held public hearing on July 11,2019,recommended for your approval the proposed legislative bill for a Change of Zone from an Agricultural-3 acres (A-3a) to a Single-Family Residential-10,000 square feet (RS-10) zoning district. The property is located at the end of Mailani Street,on the west side of Ho`omalu Street,Waiakea Homesteads,South Hilo District, Hawaii. F 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 Agricultural-3 acre(A-3a)to Single- Family Residential — 10,000 square feet (RS-10). The applicant intends to subdivide the property into twenty-seven(27)lots as wel l as one(1)road lot for the Mailani Street extension that will be built to County decidable standards. All lots will have County water and the Subdivision will have fire hydrants,as well as overhead utility lines for power,phone and cable services. There is no County sewer system in the area,so the owners will construct individual septic wastewater systems meeting with the approval of the Department of Health.Subdivision improvements are estimated to cost approximately$475,000.The applicant intends to have the lots on the market by November 2019. vtv„w_,E7 tannin d pt ont Hawaii County is an Equal Opporluniry Provider and Emplgyer [�Ll,PIF11E ashLIN a e)U tV>oN Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 2 The subject 7.631-acre parcel is rectangular shaped and located at the southern end of Mailani Street. The subject parcel is fairly flat, with no apparent topographic elements most likely due to previous land grading and grubbing. The elevation of the site is approximately 500 feet above mean sea level. There are no existing structures, landscaping, and/or development on the parcel. The Change of Zone request from Agri cultural-3acre (A-3a) to Single Family Residential— 10,000 square feet(RS-10) conforms to, among others, the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements. 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 be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. The proposed Change of Zone will conform to, among others, the goals, policies and standards of the Land Use and Land Use-Single-Family General Plan Elements: Land Use • Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County. • Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County. L • Promote and encourage the rehabilitation and use of urban areas that are serviced by, basic community facilities and utilities. • Encourage urban development within existing zoned areas already served by basic infrastructure, or close to such areas, instead of scattered development. • 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. I Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 3 Land Use: Sinl4le-Family Residential • To maximize choices of single-family residential lots and/or housing for residents of the County. • To ensure compatible uses within and adjacent to single-family residential zoned areas. The requested change of zone conforms to the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUAG) Map. 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 tile County. Itreflects 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 subject area is designated Low Density Urban(Idu).Low Density Urban are those residential lands with ancillary community and public uses as well as neighborhood and convenience-type commercial uses. For the ldu designation, overall residential density may be up to six (6) units per acre. The subject parcel is property is 7.631 acres in size and is roughly rectangular in shape. The parcel is located at the undeveloped end of Mailani Street in the Waiakea Homestead lots. The parcel is currently undeveloped and overgrown,and was completely cleared and graded in the past. The parcel is currently vacant of any structures or improvements. Although ohana dwellings are permitted in the County's Residential zoned district,a condition will be included to incorporate restrictive covenants in the deed of all lots to prohibit ohana dwellings on the lots. The applicant's proposal to subdivide the property into 27 lots is consistent with the Low Density Urban designation.This designation reflects the existing low-density residential development in this area of the Waialcea Homestead lots. The area is primarily residential in character with some agricultural lots. The proposed change of zone would complement the existing land uses in this area and will provide for an orderly development of the area. Surrounding properties are situated within Single-Family Residential (RS) and Agricultural (A) zoned districts. Immediately north and west of the subject parcel are lots zoned Single-Family Residential— 10,000 square feet(RS-10), with a portion of the western property line bounded by an Agricultural-3 acre(A-3a)zoned parcel.To the south are other A- Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 4 3a zoned parcels, while the entire eastern side of the subject parcel is bounded by a block of Agricultural-1 acre(A-1 a)lots created by subdivision of lot 813 of the Waiakea Homesteads in 1961. The surrounding lands uses are predominately used for single-family residences. The proposed request will result in a more appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. When considering any request to change the zoning district of a property,the Director shall consider the purpose of the existing and proposed zoning district and the purpose of the Zoning Code and shall recommend a change in zoning only where it would result in a more appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. The predominant land use in this area is single-family residential with the exception of a few Agricultural zoned parcels in the vicinity of the proposed project site. The majority of the single-family residential parcels range between 10,000 to 15,000 sq. ft. in size and are zoned either RS-10 or RS-15. If approved, the proposed zoning of this site would be lots averaging 10,000 sq. ft. in size which would be consistent with the surrounding parcels zoning. For the purpose of promoting health, safety, or the general welfare of the County,the Zoning Code regulates and restricts the height, size of buildings, and other structures, the percentage of a building site that may be occupied,off-street parking, setbacks, size of yards, courts,and other open spaces,the density of population, and the location and use of buildings, structures, and land for trade, industry, residence, or other purposes. In considering the purposes of the Zoning Code in relation to the proposed request, the approval of the request will result in a higher density.If approved,the applicant could build a dwelling on each of the newly created lots, resulting in an increase in the overall unit density within the project site. In considering the request in relation to the surroundingzoning,the request will result in an appropriate land use pattern.The subject property is surrounded on three sides by parcels that are zoned for single-family residential use, which will be similar to the proposed subdivision and will allow for the same density as the surrounding parcels. Based on the above information,the proposed request will result in a more appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience,and the general welfare of the County. Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 5 r The proposed request will not burden public agencies to provide utilities and services to the subject property. Access to the subject parcel is via W. Kawailani Street to Mailani Street direct to the lot. Mailani Street will be extended as a right-of-way to create the appropriate ingress/egress to the subdivision. All road work will conform to Chapter 22 of the Hawaii County Code(HCC): Streets and Sidewalks.According to the Department of Public Works (DPW), the proposed RS-10 zoning will require that the Mailani Street extension be constructed with curbs,gutters, and sidewalks with decidable pavement.The proposed right- of-way(i.e., Mailani Street extension) should match with the existing Mailani Street, which according to the Ahualani Subdivision Unit 1 final subdivision map,the right-of-way width is 50-feet. According to the Department of Water Supply(DWS)a water commitment deposit has been paid for the 26 additional lots of the 27-lot subdivision.Pursuant to Rule 5 of the DWS Rules and Regulations, a water commitment for the proposed development in the amount of 10,400 gallons per day,or 26 additional units of water,was granted to the applicant until April 30, 2022. Conditions of approval include the construction of necessary water system improvements such as water mains and service laterals.The applicant is also required by DWS to remit the prevailing facilities charge which is due and payable upon completion of the installation of the required water systems, and prior to final subdivision approval. As there is no municipal wastewater system in this area,wastewater will be disposed of by an individual wastewater system, meeting the requirements of the Department of Health. This will be done by the respective landowner in conjunction with the construction of a dwelling. i The subject property is located within an area designated as Flood Zone "X", or an "Area of Minimal Flood Hazard." As conditions of this recommended ordinance, all development generated runoff shall be disposed of onsite and not be directed toward any adjacent properties. Moreover, all earthwork and grading shall comply with Hawai`i County Code Chapter 10, Erosion and Sediment Control and all development shall comply with Hawaii County Code Chapter 27, Floodplain Management. All other essential utilities and services are or can be made available to the site. The subject request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statues, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The property is not located in the Special Management Area.The site is located approximately 3.38-miles from the nearest shoreline and Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 6 therefore will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no record of a designated public access that traverses the property.No valued cultural,historical or natural resources exist on the property 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. In view of the Hawaii State Supreme Court's"PASH"and"KcrPu'akai 0Ka`Aina" decisions,the issue relative to native Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights must be addressed in terms of the cultural, historical, and natural resources and the associated traditional and customary practices of the site: • Investigation of valued resources: No formal archaeological reconnaissance survey, oral history of kama`aina accounts of the area, historical survey of documentary records, or botanical study was included in the application. • The valued cultural,historical,and natural resources found in the rezoning area: The property has formerly used for cattle grazing and it is anticipated that no historic properties will be affected.A request for review has been submitted to the Department of Land and Natural Resources- State Historic Preservation Division to determine if any historic properties would be affected by the proposed change of zone. • Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resources: Native plants may be destroyed by ground alteration. There is no evidence that the flora in the area are particularly desired or used for cultural practices. • Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: No gathering is taking place on the site.Thus,to the extent to which traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights are exercised,the proposed action will not affect traditional Hawaiian rights;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 Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 7 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 above findings, approval of the Change of Zone request from Agricultural- 3 acre (A-3a) to Single-Family Residential — 10,000 sq. ft. (RS-10) would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will fiu•ther the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map) Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning) 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 to be provided under separate cover.

State Land Use The subject site is designated Urban. Based on the proposed lot size, no State Land Use Commission action is required. The County of Hawaii can process the rezoning request. B. County General Plan The County General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map designates the subject site as Low Density Urban. This designation allows consideration for uses that are single-family residential in character, ancillary community and public uses and convenience type of commercial uses. Based on the requested Single-family Residential (RS-10) zoning the project would be consistent with the current General Plan, and no amendments would be required. C. Hilo Community Development Plan The Community Development Plan (CDP) attempts to further define the General Plan and serves as a guide for decision makers. It was adopted by the Planning commission in 1975 over 40 years ago. Although reviewed by the County Council, the CDP was never adopted by ordinance. The County Charter requires all change of zones to be consistent with the designation in the General Plan. In this case the General Plan LUPAG designation is Low Density Urban, and thus, the requested RS-10 zoning would be consistent. D. County Zoning The proposed zoning of the subject property is Single-family Residential (RS- 10). Properties in the general area of the subject site are characterized by single-family residential lots ranging between 10,000 square feet to 15,000 square feet. If approved, the site would be subdivided in a manner generally meeting with both the Zoning and Subdivision Codes. Further, all uses and standards consistent with the requested RS-10 zone would be adhered to. E. Special Management Area The site is not located within the County Special Management Area (SMA). As such, no SMA Use Permit would be required. However, as the entire island falls with the State Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Area, some discussion of the request's relationship to the CZM Program follows. The site is not adjacent to the ocean. It is more then 4 miles from the shoreline. As such,the proposed action should not have any adverse impacts on the area's coastal recreational and marine resources nor have any impacts on beach protection. The likelihood of this improvement having any impacts to the area's historic resources is not high. The site was previously bulldozed by its predecessor. In the event any archaeological features are found during any earth disturbance activity, work will stop within the affected area until clearances from the appropriate County and State agencies. The proposed action will eventually involve the construction of improvements (particularly a dwelling unit) in an urban setting. Accordingly, there is a potential visual impact to the area's scenic and open space resources. However, given the relatively flat terrain and location or this site, the views of Mauna Kea or Mauna Loa should not be impeded. Relative to the Coastal Ecosystems, impacts should be negligible, if at all, as the site is located well over four miles from the ocean. Notwithstanding the distance, the nature of the project-residential- are such that potential coastal ecosystem impacts would usually not be found. The proposed action will result in creating more residential lots in this area. This should thus provide short-term construction jobs. In the long run, by aiding the housing situation,the project could help provide the needed support for the expansion of the area's economy. In doing so, the project could aid the area and island's economy and the overall economic use of this site and the area in general. Because of the distance from the shoreline, the site should not be subject to coastal hazards. Relative to the managing development objective,this function is more applicable to the "authority" or approving agencies. However, it is noted that the request would operate and be constructed within the scope of the Zoning Code. The subject site would be zoned RS-10, and the requested use and design/parameters (parking, height, setback, etc.) would be consistent with said zoning. In that regard, the project would be consistent with this policy. i i Finally, in terms of the public participation objective, this is generally a public agency function. This is achieved through the Marine and Coastal Zone Management Advisory Group (MACZMG) and the public hearing process required pursuant to the Planning Commission's Rules and County Council's meetings on this application. Notices of this application will become available through the posting of a sign on the property, as well as sending two (2) notices to surrounding property owners, one at the time the application is filed and again, prior to the public hearing. Based on the foregoing, it is concluded that the requested improvements would be consistent with the objectives, policies and guidelines of the Coastal Zone Management Policies, as outlined in Chapter 205-A-23, HRS and Planning Commission Rule No. 9 relating to Special Management Area. F. Other Permitting Requirements Should these applications be approved, other permits would still be required. These would be of the "ministerial" variety, such as Subdivision Approval, Building permits and the like. V. ENVIROMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS l G; A. General Description The parcel is L shaped and is accessed via Mailani Street. The site does not have any buildings on it. There does not appear to be any topographic constraint in developing and utilizing the site. The elevation is of the site is approximately 500 feet above mean sea level. B. Soils and Topography The US Department of Agriculture- Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) Soil Survey Report classifies the soil to be of the Ola'a (OID) series. The Ola'a series consists of well drained, extremely stony silty clay loams which formed in volcanic ash. Permeability is rapid, run off slow, and the erosion hazard slight. The subject site falls within the State Land Use "Urban" District and is not included in the: The Agriculture Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) designation. C. Natural Hazards 1. Drainage The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) identifies the majority of the project site to be located in Zone "X", areas outside the 500-year flood plain. Pursuant to County drainage requirements, appropriate drywells and/or similar means to capture runoff from any improvements will be built. 2. Tsunami Hazard As the site is located over 4 miles from the ocean and near the 500 foot elevation, it is located outside of the Civil Defense's Tsunami Evacuation Zone. 3. Volcanic and Earthquake Hazards The United States Geological Survey (USGS) classifies this area, as well as the entire City of Hilo, in Lava Flow Hazard 3, on a scale of ascending risk 9 to 1. The Building Code designates the entire island of Hawaii Earthquake Zone "D" and contains certain structural requirements to address the relative seismic hazard. All structures would have to comply with this standard. D. Flora/Fauna Although there were no professional surveys conducted on the floral or fauna of the site, the applicant does not believe that rare or endangered floral or fauna resources are likely to be found within the subject site. The site has already been cleared by bulldozers in the past. Thus, floral impacts should be minimal. The site is not known to be a habitat for any rare or endangered animal life. Given its elevation, however, it would be possible to find the Hawaiian Hawk (Vo) and the Hawaiian Owl (Pueo). Further, the urban nature of the surrounding areas would make it less likely to find endangered animal life in this area. E. Historic/Cultural/Archaeological Resources As the site was formerly bulldozed and cleared, no commissioned archaeological survey of this site was made. However, if needed, an archaeological monitoring plan can be prepared and implemented in conjunction with further land clearing activity. Furthermore, in the event any inadvertent discoveries are made during and land disturbance activity relating to this project, work will stop and the applicant will immediately notify the Planning Department. F. Valued Cultural Resources In view of the recent Hawaii State Supreme Court's "PASH" and KaPa'akai O Ka Aina decisions, the issue relative to native Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights must be addressed. Specifically, there must be a discussion of the cultural, historical and natural resources, as well as the associated tradition and customary practices of this site. In this situation, the subject site is not adjacent and/or proximate to the shoreline. As such, gathering of marine life and costal 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 be Native Hawaiians. Thus, it would appear unlikely that the site would serve such a purpose. In the event legitimate gathering claims are made by Native Hawaiians, the applicant intends to respect and honor such claims and provide the need access with on the site. Based on the above, it does not appear that the project would have any potential adverse impact relative to the cultural and historical resources of the area. G. Water and Coastal Resources The subject site is located well over four miles from the coastline. As such, coastal impacts resulting from discharge of wastewater systems from the site should not be significant. Further, being a non-coastal property, no coastal access will be affected. Septic tanks of their equivalent meeting with the approval of the State Department of Health will be installed in conjunction with the construction of any dwelling on the site. H. Noise, Air Quality, and Dust Mailani Street will serve as the main access to the site. The existing ambient traffic noise is quite low. With the completion of this project, the noise level is not anticipated to increase significantly. There will, however, be short-term noise impacts associated with the construction of the infrastructure for the proposed subdivision. In that event, contractors will be required to comply with appropriate noise and related mitigation measures of the State Department of Health. The proposed development should not generate any direct air quality impacts. The only discernible air quality impact could be associated with the vehicular traffic to and from the site. While there will be an impact to the ambient air quality, the impact should not be significant. With higher EPA standards for automobile air emissions, the air quality impact should thus hopefully not be significant. As such, with the exception of the construction dust in the beginning, long term dust generated by the project should be minimal. Construction dust, however, like construction noise will have to comply with the State Department of Health's regulations. I. Scenic and Visual Considerations In the Natural Beauty element of the General Plan, there are sites or areas listed as being a scenic resource. The subject site is not listed as a scenic site. However, there were a few examples cited in the Hilo area, such as Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. The proposed development would not have any visual impacts on those mountains and other listed scenic resources in the area. The site is not situated in an area where it would impede any public views of the mountains. Furthermore, the project is a residential one, where the heights of structures would be generally les than 30 feet and not pronounced. J. SOCIAL AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS A. Surrounding Land Uses The predominant land use in this area is single-family residential. With the exception of a few 2-4 acre sized lots in the general area. The lots in this area range between 10,000 to 15,000 square feet. For the most part, the zoning in this area is Single-family Residential (RS-10 or RS-15) The requested zoning (RS-10) would result in lots averaging 10,000 square feet. The proposed lots would be consistent with the residential pattern and lot size of this area. B. Economic Impacts The requested zoning would have some measure of economic impact as it would make fee simple lots available. These lots will create an a 1ff rm,mI�� )mn � aai - � mo} 1 � m In r v 0 o Il lOp�ltilNA _ v s I I _OIn 0 C o �Jr n l* m vw S gf�m7��CF I v m E m T m a ♦� a ` � Ln rN IM my � f h� �bn,� r a I ` n (13 �'q A-1 Nm m'�a a ��f 14,0'.4 'V��, n rmr m v I ° °) m ! ` 16m �m m_ �t of j rn.°n t� Lnlnitrl m i I N �` rN. mfr �I�� i !mni�. @ I o T m 1 '� _+., 1 in r _ _ tt m _ Rl -'�S�ry t N i m ms o �� �. s c cul D p '� g ko a a a m in I al I m a p� - -gi - r w m a m m w` > r uTln ul ry ry l a to ami c c rn l r o In a m a - _ _ Ti{{— i N O R — LLL Ivy »@ _ r OL O r- Subject ry ��, �, Q, v -�b1All.ANIrST � �w wom a C CL I _ 7 m -O (U d � _- '1 ~ CTI �• O t O� FRI �__�.

In addition it will create an economic impact with the construction of single-family dwellings. This will create construction jobs as well as purchases from local suppliers. And this, could help with the area's economy. C. Agricultural Impacts As the subject site is in a predominantly urban residential location there will be no agricultural impacts. This parcel is located in the Urban District therefore a residential zoning is consistent with the over all land use and zoning in the adjacent area. VI. INFRASTRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS A. Road Access to the proposed lots is from W. Kawailani Street, a County roadway. Mailani Street will be extended with in a 60-foot right-of-way creating the ingress and egress to the subdivision and shall conform to Chapter 22, Streets, Sidewalks, of the Hawaii County Code. The interior paved subdivision road shall be provided with curbs, gutters and sidewalks meeting the approval of the Department of Public Works. (Exhibit A and B) B. Water There is a Six (6) inch water line running along Mailani Street. The Department of Water Supply has said that they would make the additional water meters available for this project. C. Wastewater There is no County wastewater system in this area. As noted earlier, a septic system meeting the approval of the Department of Health would be allowed in this area. This will be done by the respective landowner in conjunction with the construction of a dwelling. D. Solid Waste Solid waste will be handled through commercial haulers or the individual homeowners into authorized landfill sites or transfer stations. With the requested RS-10 zoning, the potential for uses with toxic or related chemical waste would be minimal, if at all. E. Other Government Services As this area is already part of the Hilo urban area, it is already being serviced. .1"', Y i,� @4 i} r ,,99 nf� is f7 Yd xa sfr,xt4 5 a ✓ # + 4sza �Ssa4f � i:gcp� s 4 ° o� y +.a"All ra��C ��>�t�Yyy �#�Yi ? > - -y �'g tai k ���`��a; �a`a��r�cia,dd°�,r,a Y�rfS+r�m���.��fi ��a}�"�¢' a ✓a�f ern f%��"rF^ { ��'�, � A j' �r f Y T 1 1 ]d t ✓" ,it a.^FUIQ a46, } r { "11111-111 ✓a. q,er J'y; 7A aaw zrt 8 tr �,G r } f + x k��,�.t6�p$izil`t`�r•4a,jy a q-�,y�*t£Ea� a`�$�� ,rt� -fi� .t, `ett,pjr�1 j yv r i � � ��<' � 3ry r G� ,� r,�ua,��r S.t' t� ✓"��ur.= ) v���s� ���#S� �#�,j ro F4�r+ 4�i'~, ftr �,�t,� r^��, }�'' � ��°�➢7 rt x4 , `� ++ r 1 Pt x �"kecy r r int t �4 f �, c rl"a6 F ",rt. ✓�larfi�t �$ �;t �� £" c�6 #yv« 1t�t ;�d �i E ��tr Fv#r �^�' as r� fa�nizrr st itie �; I ��[ Y �dr p: (ae�a u d ars ,rt ,�? s y tr r�"' 6 ,��P,I r�a b rre�n S✓�� �'t. n � f r uf'y tit d k:' r jdr° A lay 8 � yy4 r rro l trs r �4. ta/ .� rt a. ��,�r� .. fr e ill �� �-u•����III�. v J�s d6, ! c t M1 °' p 4k 7 d6`r$n 5��'� � "Y✓•L� �"I'1 { f a 1 awl �t�F ,v vti r s4 rc�Ml� � r a: a x '4` ✓s mt�"#'¢P`f�` 4t`�.�t 8 f ����trv# ,t J��a ¢, Y" � .y �if�r#4 a r✓ x a a "�' t, ?r ""x 1' `' �a��aim�=f.Y �.' e a #!, , ��"`'may` r {yw µ d� q a S I pr N, r" k rt a�t rrr } 1 a r l y IN p { a ~➢ , r ��bu J >f�%*� fSa � r bAl ,ti 1 s� eps t as , *'�, rh� t r r na x r a4rze fp e txi. y�y� �.✓� ss;t�a,�iYS° �n>fi � a r 'r,trr ! a z,� ,� t',..J�„r r �^' # "E 4 �o fi^a ,r ddr�-{ ✓'� +r A° �! �.�y �s. r i trb} f V 7 rswx2 vx w b #t ✓�'13g a "` ��� ppb �.

The nearest Fire Station is located approximately .5-miles away and the nearest Police Station is located approximately 2.5 miles from the site. The public elementary, intermediate and high Schools are all located less than a mile from the subject site. In addition multiple recreational facilities are located in close proximity, these include, Lokahi Park, Ahualani Park and the Hilo Muni Golf Course. As such, the project should not result in the extension of any government services. Further, the required public facilities are located reasonably proximate to the subject site. F. Other Utilities All other utilities such as telephone, cable, and electrical services are available to the site. VII. IMPACT SIGNIFICANCE ANALYSIS A. Relationship Between Local Short-Term Uses of Environment and Maintenance and Enhancement of Long-Term Productivity If the request were denied, the short-term use of the site would probably be an undeveloped tract of land and used for a single-family residence. Given the residential nature of this area, the retention of the Agriculture (A-3a) zoning may not result in the best development of this site. There would be a large residential lot, which-because of its resource and locational (being in an urban setting) characteristics- may not be capable of supporting intensive agricultural activities. At the same time, pressures could occur on the conversion of lands currently being used for more intensive agricultural activities in rural South Hilo. Given those conditions, it may be more prudent from a land use perspective to more effectively utilize the project site to satisfy a residential lot demand than to subdivide them into large lots. The projected use could indirectly help retard the pressures for the unnecessary conversion of better agricultural lands for residential activities. B. Irreversible Irretrievable Commitment of Resources The subject site already disturbed in the past, it is not likely that its development would result in an irreversible commitment of natural or archaeological resources. There are also no known floral or faunal resources in the area. C. Mitigative Measures The applicant intends to make improvements, if required, generally consistent with the subdivision process. Further, if there is any construction activity, contractors will be obligated to comply with appropriate State noise and air quality standards. Should unanticipated archaeological finds be discovered in conjunction with any further development of the site, work will stop (as is required by the State and County) and clearance will be secured before work is resumed. There is no existing drainage way on the property. Any and all required grading or grubbing work would be done in conjunction with the required permits and/or County codes. This is to assure that the development of this site does not adversely affect the drainage of the surrounding properties. Finally, there will be no person or businesses to be dislocated by this project. D. Alternatives to the Proposed Project 1. No Proiect Under the status quo alternative, the site will remain in its present condition. This alternative, however, would not utilize the site to its fullest potential, given the predominant residential land uses in this area. 2. Alternative Density Under this alternative, the applicant could seek a more intensive zoning, such as RA-.5a or possible RS-7.5 zoning given the LUPAG Low Density Use classification of the site and RS and CN zonings proximate to this area. These zoning categories would arguably be consistent with some of the surrounding zonings. Such an approach, however, may not be the best density for the subject parcel. Given the nature of existing subdivision the requested density of RS- 10 would be consistent with the overall make-up of the community and other change of zones in the area. 3. Evaluation of Alternatives The project's impacts to the area's social and physical infrastructure would not be pronounced. Certain mitigative measures could be taken to address any possible impacts associated by the development of this project. Further, the project would be consistent with the land use sought ht to be J g accomplished by the County General Plan LUPAG map. In view of the aforementioned, it would appear that none of the alternatives would be more prudent and beneficial than the requested RS-10 alternative. VIII. REGULATORY ANALYSIS A. General Plan LUPAG Map The General Plan provides for the long-range comprehensive development of the island of Hawaii. It provides direction for balanced growth in the County. The LUPAG map designates the site Low Density Urban. This designation allows the requested RS-10 zoning with out a General Plan amendment. S. General Plan Polices The requested zoning would be consistent with the goals, policies, and standards of the General Plan document. For one, it may provide limited short-term economic opportunities largely through the construction of any improvements required for the subdivision. More importantly, however, longer-term opportunities would be created largely in the form of construction of a new single-family dwelling and service providers for yard care, maintenance and the like. In so doing, the project should add revenues to the County and State coffers byway of increased property tax revenue and increased General Excise Tax base. The project intends to be energy conscious through the use and/or encouragement of solar energy and design features to take advantage of the sun and wind patterns. Maintaining and improving the quality of the environment is important to the success of this project. The General Plan identifies five (5) areas of environmental concerns-air pollution, water quality, soil pollution, solid waste disposal, and noise pollution. As proposed, the project would not violate any of those objectives. Aside from the limited vehicular transmission, air pollution associated with the project should be negligible. All waste water systems would be consistent with the requirements of the State Department of Health. This should be sufficient to address any potential groundwater or coastal water impacts. If required, a solid waste management plan could be prepared and implemented. The project will also not be a noisy one, as residents would come to this area to enjoy its tranquility. Any noise-generating facility- such air conditioners-would be carefully placed to minimize their noise impacts. The project area is outside of any flood way. Nonetheless, if required, a drainage system will be designed and constructed (especially in conjunction with the subdivision approval process) in a manner to protect the property as well as to minimize the volume of surface runoff generated by this development. The site does not appear to have historic sites due in large measure to the prior grading activity on the site. Nonetheless, work will cease if unanticipated archaeological remains are discovered during the development of this project. Work will resume only after proper clearances from the County and /or State have been received. While there have been sightings of the Hawaiian Hawk (I'o) or the owl (pueo), this area is not their primary habitat.

The development shall not exceed 50 residential lots or 50 dwelling units; 2. Each lot shall have a minimum size of 10,000 square feet; and 3. One IWS shall not serve more than five bedrooms 0. 4. If the proposed development has less than 50 lots, the developer must identify the lots elf _ that will have multiple dwelling units with the understanding that the total dwelling units cannot y exceed 50 for the development. a _ Public Water Systems: The Department of Health's Safe Drinking Water Branch authority on 2 drinking water quality is based on the definition of a"public water system." Federal and state X regulations define a public water system as a system that serves 25 or more individuals at least LU 60 days per year or has at least 15 service connections. All public water system owners and operators are required to comply with Hawaii Administrative Rules, Chapter 11-20 (HAR 11- 20), and titled "Rules Relating to Public Water Systems". All public water systems are regulated by the Department of Health and shall be in compliance with the Hawaii Administrative Rules, Title 11, Chapter 20. Recommend the subdivision lots be connected to an existing public water system. Concerns on water quality for lead, copper, algae and microbiological and chemical contaminations in private water systems have identified the need for self monitoring. A - i,rNTIEr. Department of Health does not support the use of these private rain catchment systems foA PR 05 2 . drinking purposes since the quality may not meet potable water standards. 5 Michael Yee March 27, 2019 Page 2of6 All new public water systems are required to demonstrate and meet minimum capacity requirements prior to their establishment, per HAR 11-20-29.5, titled "Capacity Demonstration and Evaluation." This requirement involves demonstration that the system will have satisfactory technical, managerial and financial capacity to enable the system to comply with safe drinking water standards and requirements. Projects that propose development of new sources of potable water serving or proposed to serve a public water system must comply with the terms of HAR 11-20-29. This section requires that all new public water system sources be approved by the Director of Health (Director) prior to its use. Such approval is based primarily upon the submission of a satisfactory engineering report which addresses the requirements specified in HAR 11-20-29. The engineering report must identify all potential sources of contamination and evaluate alternative control measures which could be implemented to reduce or eliminate the potential for contamination, including treatment of the water source. In addition, water quality analyses for all regulated contaminants, performed by a laboratory certified by the State Laboratories Division of the State of Hawaii, must be submitted as part of the report to demonstrate compliance with all drinking water standards. Additional parameters may be required by the Director for this submittal or additional tests required upon his or her review of the information submitted. All sources of public water system sources must undergo a source water assessment which will delineate a source water protection area. This process is preliminary to the creation of a source water protection plan for that source and activities which will take place to protect the source of drinking water. Projects proposing to develop new public water systems or proposing substantial modifications to existing public water systems must receive construction plans approval by the Director prior to construction of the proposed system or modification in accordance with HAR 11-20-30, titled "New and Modified Public Water Systems". These projects include treatment, storage and distribution systems of public water systems. The approval authority for projects owned and operated by a County Board or Department of Water or Water Supply has been delegated to them. 4 All public water systems must be operated by certified distribution system and water treatment plant operators as defined by HAR 11-25 titled, "Rules Pertaining to Certification of Public Water System Operators". All projects which propose the use of dual water systems or the use of a non-potable water system in proximity to an existing potable water system to meet irrigation or other needs must be carefully design and operate these systems to prevent the cross-connection of these systems and prevent the possibility of backflow of water from the non-potable system to the potable system. The two (2) systems must be clearly labeled and physically separated by air gaps or reduced pressure principle backflow prevention devices to avoid contaminating the potable water supply. `Iii additidn backflow devices must be tested periodically to assure their proper operation. Further, all non-potable spigots and irrigated areas should be clearly labeled with warning signs to prevent the inadvertent consumption on non-potable water.

COMMENTS The rules and regulations of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44CFR), are in effect when development falls within a Special Flood Hazard Area (high risk areas). State projects are required to comply with 44CFR regulations as stipulated in Section 60.12. Be advised that 44CFR reflects the minimum standards as set forth by the NFIP. Local community flood ordinances may stipulate higher standards that can be more restrictive and would take precedence over the minimum NFIP standards. The owner of the project property and/or their representative is responsible to research the Flood Hazard Zone designation for the project. Flood Hazard Zones are designated on FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), which can be viewed on our Flood Hazard Assessment Tool (FHAT) (http://gis.hawaiiliFp.orc,/FHAT). If there are questi6ns regarding the local flood ordinances, please contact the applicable County NFIP coordinating agency below: r o Oahu: City and County of Honolulu, Department of Planning and Permitting (808) 768-8098. o Hawaii Island: County of Hawaii, Department of Public Works (808) 961-8327. o Maui/Molokai/Lanai County of Maui, Department of Planning (808) 270-7253. o Kauai: County of Kauai, Department of Public Works (808) 241-4846. i Signed: CARTY S. CHANG, CHIEF ENGINEER Date`: e �� RUM EMMOTOREZ.aj x.05.14.19 COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION CHARLES UMEMOTO CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION NO. 19-000235 (REZ 19-000235) Upon careful review of the request against the guidelines for granting a Change of Zone, the Planning Director is recommending that a favorable recommendation for a Change of Zone from an Agricultural-3 acre (A-3a) to a Single-Family Residential — 10,000 square feet (RS-10) zoning district for a 7.631-acre parcel 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 position. This favorable recommendation is based on the following findings: The applicant is requesting a change of zone from Agricultural-3 acre (A-3a) to Single-Family Residential — 10,000 square feet (RS-10). The applicant intends to subdivide the property into twenty-seven (27) lots as well as one (1) road lot for the Mailani Street extension that will be built to County decidable standards. All lots will have County water and the subdivision will have fire hydrants, as well as overhead utility lines for power, phone and cable services. There is no County sewer system in the area, so the owners will construct individual septic wastewater systems meeting with the approval of the Department of Health. Subdivision improvements are estimated to cost approximately $475,000. The applicant intends to have the lots on the market by November 2019. The subject 7.631-acre parcel is rectangular shaped and located at the southern end of Mailani Street. The subject parcel is fairly flat, with no apparent topographic elements most likely due to previous land grading and grubbing. The elevation of the site i is approximately 500 feet above mean sea level. There are no existing structures, landscaping, and/or development on the parcel. The Change of Zone request from Agricultural-3 acre (A-3a) to Single Family Residential — 10,000 square feet (RS-10) conforms to, among others, the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements. -1- 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 detennined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. The proposed Change of Zone will conform to, among others, the goals, policies and standards of the Land Use and Land Use-Single-Family General Plan Elements: Land Use • Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County. EV • Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County. • Promote and encourage the rehabilitation and use of urban areas that are serviced by basic community facilities and utilities. • Encourage urban development within existing zoned areas already served by basic infrastructure, or close to such areas, instead of scattered development. • 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: Single-Family Residential • To maximize choices of single-family residential lots and/or housing for residents of the County. i • To ensure compatible uses within and adjacent to single-family residential zoned areas. -2- r The requested change of zone conforms to the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUAG) Map. 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 forin for areas within the County. The subject area is designated Low Density Urban (ldu). Low Density Urban are those residential lands with ancillary community and public uses as well as neighborhood and convenience-type commercial uses. For the ldu designation, overall residential density may be up to six (6) units per acre. The subject parcel is property is 7.631 acres in size and is roughly rectangular in shape. The parcel is located at the undeveloped end of Mailani Street in the Waiakea Homestead lots. The parcel is currently undeveloped and overgrown, and was completely cleared and graded in the past. The parcel is currently vacant of any structures or improvements. Although ohana dwellings are pennitted in the County's Residential zoned district, a condition will be included to incorporate restrictive covenants in the deed of all lots to prohibit ohana dwellings on the lots. The applicant's proposal to subdivide the property into 27 lots is consistent with the Low Density Urban designation. This designation reflects the existing low-density residential development in this area of the Waiakea Homestead lots. The area is primarily residential in character with some agricultural lots. The proposed change of zone would complement the existing land uses in this area and will provide for an orderly development of the area. Surrounding properties are situated within Single-Family Residential (RS) and Agricultural (A) zoned districts. Immediately north and west of the subject parcel are lots zoned Single-Family Residential — 10,000 square feet (RS-10), with a portion of the western property line bounded by an Agricultural-3 acre (A-3a) zoned parcel. To the south are other A-3a zonedparcels, while the entire eastern side of the subject parcel is bounded by a block of Agricultural-1 acre (A-1 a) lots created by subdivision of lot 813 of the Waiakea Homesteads in 1961. The surrounding lands uses are predominately used for -3- single-family residences. The proposed request will result in a more appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. When considering any request to change the zoning district of a property, the Director shall consider the purpose of the existing and proposed zoning district and the purpose of the Zoning Code and shall recommend a change in zoning only where it would result in a more appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. The predominant land use in this area is single-family residential with the exception of a few Agricultural zoned parcels in the vicinity of the proposed project site. The majority of the single-family residential parcels range between 10,000 to 15,000 sq. ft. in size and are zoned either RS-10 or RS-15. If approved, the proposed zoning of this site would be lots averaging 10,000 sq. ft. in size which would be consistent with the surrounding parcels zoning. For the purpose of promoting health, safety, or the general welfare of the County, fi the Zoning Code regulates and restricts the height, size of buildings, and other strictures, the percentage of a building site that may be occupied, off-street parking, setbacks, size of yards, courts, and other open spaces, the density of population, and the location and use of buildings, structures, and land for trade, industry, residence, or other purposes. In considering the purposes of the Zoning Code in relation to the proposed request, the approval of the request will result in a higher density. If approved, the applicant could build a dwelling on each of the newly created lots, resulting in an increase in the overall unit density within the project site. In considering the request in relation to the surrounding zoning, the request will result in an appropriate land use pattern. The subject property is surrounded on three sides by parcels that are zoned for single-family residential use, which will be similar to the proposed subdivision and will allow for the same density as the surrounding parcels. Based on the above information, the proposed request will result in a more appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience, and the general welfare of the County. -4- The proposed request will not burden public agencies to provide utilities and services to the subject property. Access to the subject parcel is via W. Kawailani Street to Mailani Street direct to the lot. Mailani Street will be extended as a right-of-way to create the appropriate ingress/egress to the subdivision. All road work will conform to Chapter 22 of the Hawaii County Code (HCC): Streets and Sidewalks. According to the Department of Public Works (DPW), the proposed RS-10 zoning will require that the Mailani Street extension be constructed with curbs, gutters, and sidewalks with decidable pavement. The proposed right-of-way (i.e., Mailani Street extension) should match with the existing Mailani Street, which according to the Ahualani Subdivision Unit 1 final subdivision snap, the right-of-way width is 50-feet. According to the Department of Water Supply (DWS) a water commitment deposit has been paid for the 26 additional lots of the 27-lot subdivision. Pursuant to Rule 5 of the DWS Rules and Regulations, a water commitment for the proposed development in the amount of 10,400 gallons per day, or 26 additional units of water, was granted to the applicant until April 30, 2022. Conditions of approval include the constriction of necessary water system improvements such as water mains and service laterals. The applicant is also required by DWS to remit the prevailing facilities charge which is due and payable upon completion of the installation of the required water systems, and prior to final subdivision approval. As there is no municipal wastewater system in this area, wastewater will be disposed of by an individual wastewater system, meeting the requirements of the Department of Health. This will be done by the respective landowner in conjunction with the construction of a dwelling. The subject property is located within an area designated as Flood Zone "X", or an "Area of Minimal Flood Hazard." As conditions of this recommended ordinance, all development generated runoff shall be disposed of onsite and not be directed toward any adjacent properties. Moreover, all earthwork and grading shall comply with Hawaii County Code Chapter 10, Erosion and Sediment Control and all development shall comply with Hawaii County Code Chapter 27, Floodplain Management. All other essential utilities and services are or can be made available to the site. -5- The subject request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statues, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The property is not located in the Special Management Area. The site is located approximately 3.38-miles from the nearest shoreline and therefore will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no record of a designated public access that traverses the property. No valued cultural, historical or natural resources exist on the property 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. In view of the Hawaii State Supreme Court's "PASH" and "Ka Pa`akai O Ka`Aina" decisions, the issue relative to native Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights must be addressed in tens of the cultural, historical, and natural resources and the associated traditional and customary practices of the site: • Investigation of valued resources: No formal archaeological reconnaissance survey, oral history of kama`aina accounts of the area, historical survey of documentary records, or botanical study was included in the application. • The valued cultural historical, and natural resources found in the rezoning area: The property has formerly used for cattle grazing and it is anticipated that no historic properties will be affected. A request for review has been submitted to the i Department of Land and Natural Resources - State Historic Preservation Division to detennine if any historic properties would be affected by the proposed change of zone. • Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resources: Native plants may be destroyed by ground alteration. There is no evidence that the flora in the area are particularly desired or used for cultural practices. • Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: No gathering is taking place on the site. Thus, to the extent to which traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights are exercised, the proposed action will not affect traditional Hawaiian rights; therefore, no action is necessary to protect these rights. -6- Lastly, this approval is made with the understanding that the applicant remains responsible for complying with all other applicable govermnental 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 agencies. Based on the above findings, approval of the Change of Zone request from Agricultural- 3 acre (A-3a) to Single-Family Residential — 10,000 sq. ft. (RS-10) would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map) Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning) of the Hawaii County Code is provided for your favorable consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill. -7- OO��LY OF COUNTY OF HAWAII {; STATE OF HAWAII �rF•OFH F'J+ BILL NO. ORDINANCE NO.
