Before you today we have the Dennis Schmitz's Change of Zone application PL-REZ-2023-041 as well as a Special Management Area Use Permit application PL-SMA-2023-029. The subject property is located within the `O`okala District of North Hilo, Hawaii. Before you today the applicant's request. The applicant is currently requesting a Change of Zone from the Agricultural—20 acres zoning district to the Agricultural—5 acres zoning district and a Special Management Area Use Permit to allow for the development of a 4-lot agricultural subdivision on a total of 20.027 acres of land. If the requested land use entitlement changes are approved, the applicant is proposing to subdivide the property into 4 lots, consisting of 5.027 acres, and 5 acres in size in order to continue and expand the grazing, orchard, and crop activities by subdividing the property to allow for more intensive farming by the individual family members. The applicant currently anticipates the property will be subdivided within 3 years and is anticipated to cost around, somewhere around $200,000.00. On the screen before you is the County zoning map.
