is, since they are so related, that we discuss both the agenda items tog obviously make a decision separately on these agenda items. And that should make it a lot easier for those from the public who have come to testify; it gives you a little broader range. With that, let me turn it over to Mr. Darrow. DARROW: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good morning, Members of the Planning Commission. IÓd like to welcome our new members. Commissioner Beaudet and Commissioner Iokepa, welcome. Thank you. If I can direct your attention to our presentation map. The agenda item No. 3, our applicant is Palamanui Global Holdings LLC. They are requesting a change of zone from Project District to Industrial-Commercial Mixed 20,000 square feet for 29.92 acres of land. The location of the application is within North Kona District. More specifically we are looking at in the area of the Kehole Airport, which is located to the west of the project site. We have Kaiminani Drive that is to the south of the project site. The actual project site itself is identified with a black outline, and has a purple color for the zoning of Project District. Just to the east of the project, or mauka, we have Makalei Estates Subdivision, and it is identified as Agricultural 3-acre zoning. We have Queen KaÒahumanu Highway that is running in a north-south direction, that is located on the west side of the area. The actual 29.92 acres is located in this area on the Project District area thatÓs owned by Palamanui. This is the area that the applicant is asking for the change of zone from PD to MCX. The applicant is requesting this rezoning, which is part of the 70-acre area titled ÐPalamanui Business ParkÑ under their Project District designation. The reasons for the request is that they want to be able to allow wholesaling and distribution uses, which the Project District does not permit as part of its permitted uses. The Project District will, the project will consist of 35 lots ranging in size from 20,000 to 62,000 square feet, and they will sell or develop into uses permitted under the MCX zoning. Additionally, it will consist of distribution and wholesale uses as well as retail and office uses on this site. Lastly, it will be a mix of buildings from 5,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet; these are the sizes anticipated. The Director is recommending that a favorable recommendation be forwarded with conditions to the HawaiÒi County Council. If we can go ahead, we can go right into -. WATANABE: Please. DARROW: Item No. 4. If you could give me just one minute. Thank you, Maija. Agenda Item No. 4, our applicant is again Palamanui Global Holdings LLC. They are asking for an amendment request to various conditions in Ordinance No. 06 105, which originally rezoned the area, rezoned 725.2 acres from Agricultural 3 acres and Open to a Project District. Again, the location is identified by a black outline, and this borders Queen KaÒahumanu Highway to the west as well as Makalei Estates Subdivision to the east. The applicant has submitted an overall project map, which gives Project District. Up on the upper portion of the map we have a dry land forest preserve. There is a road connection to Makalei Estates Subdivision to the mauka side of the Project District that runs through; this is identified currently as Road 1, but as we get into the amendment, there are some changes to the name of this particular road.
