meet the minimum building site requirement of the requested MCX-20 zoning (minimum of 20,000 square feet), the two lots will need to be consolidated. Thus, the Director is recommending a condition requiring consolidation of the properties within one (1)year of the effective date of the change of zone ordinance or prior to the issuance of Final Plan Approval,whichever occurs first. Furthermore,the applicant is proposing to convert an existing single-family dwelling into an office building,which will require a change of use building permit. A condition of approval will require that all necessary building permits, including a change of use building permit for the existing single-family dwelling, shall be secured and finalized prior to the commencement of the proposed office use. All utilities and services are available to the site. The project site has frontage along both Kekdanao`a Street and Kalanikoa Street,which are two-lane,paved County roadways. The site is currently accessed via a single driveway to the existing single- family dwelling on Kalanikoa Street.

The applicant proposes to access the site via a permitted full-access entry/exit along Kalanikoa Street and a limited (right-in, right-out) access from Kekdanao`a as -4-
