AMENDMENT TO SPECIAL PERMIT (SPP 1194, Docket No. 02-000042) <br /> ROBERT AND RUBY KOBAYASHI <br /> TMK: 1-6-009: 166 <br /> 1. INTRODUCTION <br /> Robert and Ruby Kobayashi ("Applicants") sought and received approval <br /> of a Special Permit (SPP 1194) on January 17, 2003, by the County <br /> Planning Commission (now Windward Planning Commission) to allow an <br /> auto repair shop on approximately 3,500 square feet of land within the <br /> State Land Use Agricultural District. The Special Permit, however, was <br /> approved with a condition (Condition No. 2) that required the life of the <br /> permit be for a period of 5-years or "upon new commercial/industrial <br /> zoned lands becoming available within the vicinity of Hawaiian Paradis <br /> Park Subdivision and Orchidland Estates Subdivision with a reasonable <br /> period to effect the relocation, whichever occurs first." <br /> The Commission subsequently granted a 5-year extension to January 17, <br /> 2013, on April 4, 2008. This was then followed by a 10-year extension <br /> from the date of the Commission's approval (March 21, 2013), effectively <br /> extending the life of the permit to March 21, 2023. (Exhibit A) <br /> The Applicants are seeking to delete Condition No. 2 or in the alternative, <br /> extending the life of the permit by an additional 10 years to March 21, <br /> 2033. <br /> ll.
