approved, will allow the development of a permanent medical clinic and related facilities on the subject property. Surrounding properties immediately adjacent to the west of the subject property along Akoni Pule Highway are zoned Neighborhood Commercial-10,000 square feet (CN-10) and Agricultural-20 acres (A-20a). Properties located to the north are zoned Agricultural-20 acres (A-20a). Surrounding properties within the Single-Family Residential (RS-15) zoning district, Agricultural-3 acres (A-3a) and Agricultural-20 acres (A-20a) zoning district are located to the south and east of the subject property. Associated uses include institutional, residential, and agricultural uses. The property was previously used as the Kohala Hotel, with no adverse impacts on surrounding properties. The applicant has proposed that the project will not employ visually offensive structures or equipment, does not produce unsafe or unpleasant odor, noise, heat, or other particulates, and does not involve chemicals or other substances which pose a threat to health and safety in the community. In addition, the large size of the property and natural topography will physically provide a buffer to adjoining properties. The proposed project will meet the required yard setbacks of 20 feet from the two fronts and 10 feet from its side property lines required by the RS zoning designation. Additionally, the applicant will be required to put in landscaping through the Plan Approval process to further minimize any adverse noise and visual impacts that may be generated by the project. All buffer yard landscaping shall conform to the standards for separation of a residential (RS) zoning district from a commercial (CN) zoning district as provided for in Planning Department Rule No. 17 to further minimize impacts. Traffic will be staggered to the site based on scheduled appointments. To mitigate traffic impacts the applicant is also proposing to provide on-site parking for 19 vehicles for Phase I of the project which includes the construction of the transitional medical clinic. Once the permanent medical clinic is constructed along with the workforce housing, parking for a total of 90 vehicles including ADA and a loading/unloading area will be constructed on the subject property. The applicant has stated that the estimated hours of operation of the transitional medical clinic will be from 7:30 am until 6:30 pm 6
