Property Land Use History <br /> The Amended Urban Renewal Plan (URP) outlined permitted uses of the <br /> Hilo Iron Works site in the aftermath of the 1960 tsunami that devastated <br /> the Kaiako's area. The "Limited Industrial" uses permitted under the URP <br /> (and subsequently expanded in the Hawaii Redevelopment Agency's <br /> Declaratory Order dated December 12, 1988) were intended as "interim" <br /> uses for a term of 35 years, or until such time that adequate control <br /> measures could be implemented to mitigate the effects of future tsunami. <br /> No mitigation infrastructure has been put into place and the 35-year term <br /> of the URP has expired. Upon the expiration of the URP, the permitted <br /> uses for Hilo Iron Works has reverted to those of the property's current <br /> OPEN zoning designation. While HCC 25-5-162, which lists the permitted <br /> uses for the OPEN zoning district, does not reflect the current uses <br /> occupying the Hilo Iron Works site, the Zoning Code does conditionally <br /> permit nonconforming uses under HCC 25-1-5 and 25-4-61(a). <br /> B. Project Concept and Components <br /> Given the long-standing and continued presence of uses on the <br /> property, the ownership of the Hilo Iron Works site would like to <br /> request a change of zone to allow for conforming use that is also <br /> consistent with the historical use of the site. <br /> Existing improvements over the 7 parcels include 69,270 sf of <br /> warehouse and office space. Concrete sidewalks, gutters and fire <br /> hydrants are located on the Kamehameha Avenue frontage. <br /> In conjunction with this rezoning application, the applicant has no plans <br /> to expand the structure or make any substantial improvements to the <br /> 3 <br />
