condition of approval to require the applicant to secure a change of use permit, if necessary to accommodate the new commercial uses. Surrounding lands are zoned A-la and A-5a on the east side of Highway 130 and RS-10, A-la, CV-10 and CN-20 on the west side of Highway 130. The east side of the highway consists mainly of residential dwellings, agricultural uses, and vacant land. There is a church north of and across Highway 132 near the subject property. Tangerine Acres Subdivision is east of the subject property. The west side of the highway is the part of Pdhoa Village and includes the Pdhoa High School Complex, Pdhoa Sacred Heart Church and preschool, and several commercially zoned properties. The construction of the proposed near-term commercial uses and ultimate medical/retail/office facility development, driveway and parking lot improvements will create temporary construction impacts such as an increase in noise, dust, and truck traffic. These impacts will be temporary in nature and minor in scope and therefore are not anticipated to have a substantial adverse impact on the surrounding properties, particularly since some surrounding properties are already developed with commercial and community uses that serve a regional population. A condition of approval will require landscaping to be installed to visually screen the village commercial uses from surrounding properties and adjacent roadways to reduce the noise and visual impacts associated with the development. Additionally, as referenced above, any new structures on the property will require approval from the Pdhoa Village Design Committee. With implementation of these conditions, it is not likely that the proposed developments will have a substantial adverse impact to the community's character or to surrounding properties and will not be detrimental to the public welfare. The proposed use will not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads and streets, sewers,water, drainage, schools, police and fire protection and other related infrastructure. Access to the property is from Pdhoa-Kapoho Road (Highway 132),which is a County-owned and maintained roadway with a pavement width of approximately 22 feet within a 60-foot-wide right-of-way (ROW) and designated by the General Plan as a major collector road. There is a 6-foot paved shoulder along the property boundary as well. Paved parking for the project will be provided on-site. Conditions of approval will require the driveway connection and work -4-
