several years ago we had a change of zone request in this area for this particular office building here, Gerald Takase. I can’t remember exactly the name of the applicant but there’s quite a large office building there now next to the Mormon Church which is identified -. HAYASHI: Allan Takase. DARROW: I’m sorry, Allan Takase. Thank you for that. The colors on the map represent the surrounding zonings. The yellow represents RS-10 zoning. The darker and lighter color pink and red and maroon identify Commercial zoning. We have quite a bit of Commercial zoning running along Kilauea Avenue. We do have other particular areas as we go further south of the property on Kilauea. The applicant is requesting a change of zone from RS-10 to CG-10 for 9,886 square feet of land. This is so that she can convert an existing cottage structure into an office. The cottage structure is located right here on this particular site plan. Again, for reference we have Kilauea Avenue, we have Lanikaula Street. Subway would be located here. The State facility would be located across the street on the makai side in this area. There are two structures on the property, a 2- story dwelling identified in this area and we have the cottage structure in this area. It’s approximately 440 square feet in size. This will be converted to an office. Access is proposed to be from Lanikaula Street in this area. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation to the Hawaii County Council. Are there any questions? WATANABE: Are there any questions, Fellow Commissioners? I have one, just for the record. Typically we do try to focus commercial development at these types of intersections, is that not correct, in our past practices? DARROW: Correct. Well, I mean, we have one directly on both sides of the street. Again, we look at the General Plan for the area. The General Plan shows that this particular area is designated for High Density Urban uses. So this would be consistent with the General Plan. WATANABE: Okay. Thank you. Yes, Ms. Siracusa. SIRACUSA: Yes. The previous map, yeah, that whole block except for one other parcel right above the “u” in “subject” is all zoned Single-Family Residential right now. And I’m wondering what is that exception? Do you know what that is there, Jeff? DARROW: I’m not sure. If you’ll give me one second -. SIRACUSA: Because otherwise we would be moving Commercial into a block that, you know, it sets the stage, it sets a precedent. DARROW: This particular property right here that you’re referring to, is that correct? SIRACUSA: Yes. DARROW: This is actually zoned RM-4, which is Multiple Family Residential. EXHIBIT A 2
