Kekela Street, and asking to modify Condition H to readjust parking requirements for the project. And, finally, asking to modify Condition N to update the fair share dollar amounts. So, to give you some context on the project, the original Ordinance 07-105 was granted in 2007, and changed the zoning designation for the subject property from a Single -Family Residential — 10,000 square feet to Neighborhood Commercial — 40,000 square feet. The original applicant proposed to develop two pads of commercial real estate or business center ranging in size from 9,600 to 10,132 square feet, and a 130 parking stalls. The current Applicant is proposing a smaller commercial development consisting of an approximately 9,046 -square foot commercial storefront, a minimum of 57 paved parking stalls, landscaping, and related improvements, and the Applicant is requesting these condition amendments to accommodate this new, scaled-down development proposal, and to delete some conditions that have already been complied with. The subject parcel is located in the South Hilo District. It's here outlined in black; more specifically, in the Waiakea area of South Hilo. For reference, we've got Kanoelehua Avenue running generally north -south through the slide. On the other side is Kilauea Avenue, and running east -west is Puainako Street, and also it's bounded on the east here by Kekela Street. For further reference, KTA Super Stores Complex is located here to the south of the subject parcel. The zoning for the subject parcel is Neighborhood Commercial, and the surrounding zoning to the north and east is Single -Family Residential. There's some Open zoning to the west and some General Commercial zoning to the south pardon me, the southeast. Across Kekela Street is also zoned Neighborhood Commercial, and this is the site of the old Ginger Patch Marketplace. The State Land Use designation for the subject parcel and surrounding area is Urban as indicated in the pink color. The General Plan designation for the subject parcel is split --High Density Urban indicated in red and Medium Density Urban indicated in the orange color. Here's an aerial photograph of the subject parcel. Again, for reference, we've got Puainako Street running generally east -west through the slide. Kilauea Avenue north -south, and Kekela Street. As you can see, the subject parcel here outlined in red is currently vacant of all structures and improvements. Again, what you see here to the south is the parking lot for KTA. There are two entrances to their parking lot --the eastern entrance, or makai entrance, and the western entrance, or mauka entrance. The Applicant is proposing to take access from Puainako right across from the mauka entrance to the KTA parking lot and then also taking access off of Kekela Street roughly in this area. Here is the Applicant's proposed site plan for the project area. Again, it's generally this L- shaped parcel here. As we talked about before, access will be coming off of Puainako Street and Kekela Street, and access is limited from Puainako Street to a right -in, right -out access. And, currently, there is a condition limiting access to the project site from Kekela Street to delivery vehicles only, and that's part of the request to amend that condition to allow the general public to access the site from Kekela Street.
