The maps indicate the various zoning districts and the gray-shaded areas are identified either as General Commercial or Limited Industrial Commercial. The zoning for the subject property is Industrial-Commercial zoning, MCX 20. Existing on this subject property, and I’ll go to the site map that was presented by the Applicant. Again, this is Kalanianaole Avenue, and this would be in the Hilo town direction, and this would be towards the Keaukaha direction. This is Kumau Street running, again, this would be makai; and this particular line here identifies Ocean View Drive. There are some single-family dwellings owned by the State and leased to tenants, I believe until the year 2015; and those houses are located here. If you look at this particular map, the zoning map, the lots are located here; and those lots are zoned for Industrial use. The access to the property currently is from this particular location along Kalanianaole Avenue. The Applicant also intends to continue to use the access at this particular location. There’s also another access proposed from Kumau Street at this particular location. Existing on the property is a 7,500-square foot building that was constructed a number of years ago, and that was previously used as a showroom and auto repair and service area for the previous operation that I. Kitagawa had at this particular location. There’s also a small kiosk at this particular location, existing kiosk. This particular area is currently used by a pre-owned car sales operation. The Applicant intends to, as part of this SMA Use Permit, renovate this existing building and, also, convert this into a new showroom area for Kamaaina Nissan, which is one of I. Kitagawa’s subsidiaries, and they also intend to have a Parts Department for the Nissan operation, as well as a service area. They also intend to provide additional parking at this particular area or service parking. This particular area is currently just grass, so what the Applicant intends to do is provide new parking areas throughout most of the subject property as part of this SMA Use Permit application. Most of the area is currently graveled so they’ll be providing new paved areas. As part of this renovation of this particular building, the Applicant also intends to create a mezzanine; and that’ll be used for storage purposes. The height of the building would not exceed 25 feet. Actually, the existing height would remain the same. Excuse me, I did state incorrectly that the zoning was MCX, it’s actually MG-20. And the height limit for MG-20 is 50 feet, so they would be well within the height limitation. Surrounding lands are, just as a matter of information, on this side of the property there is the Pacific Island Flooring building at this particular location. Gaspro is located across Kumau Street at this particular location. We also have Creative Arts across of Kalanianaole Avenue, and several other industrial activities along or within this particular general area of Kalanianaole Avenue. As I indicated earlier, there are some residential lots along the makai side of Ocean View Drive that were created many years ago; and there are single-family dwellings on those lots. Those lands are owned by the State and leased to tenants for a period of time. EXHIBIT A 2
