west of Awa Street. The General Plan designation for the property is Low Density Urban. And <br />you can see south of the street here that comes off of the highway, and the property is east of <br />Railroad Avenue, these are all designated Important Agricultural Land; but all the properties <br />towards town, north of that and west of that, are Low Density Urban. This is the State Land Use <br />Designation Map that’s also in this slide. It shows the property is in the Agricultural Land Use <br />District. And, again, south of Makalika Street there is a large portion of land that was <br />reclassified into the Urban Land Use District. And then again the more dense area of South Hilo <br />to the left top part of the slide is also designated Urban. <br />We have a few new conditions that we’ve added to address an issue that came up last time which <br />was protection of the adjacent farm operations and farm lands in the Ag Land Use District. The <br />Hawaii Right to Farm Act protects farming operations when you have land that’s reclassified out <br />of the State Land Use Ag District but you have adjacent lands still within the State Land Use Ag <br />District. Those farming operations are protected from nuisance complaints by this Act. And so <br />we’ve added two conditions to the Rezone Conditions D and E; and you should have a revised <br />Recommendation Report for that. And we’ve added Conditions A and B to the State Land Use <br />Boundary Amendment Recommendation. The Planning Department is recommending a <br />favorable recommendation for both the Change of Zone from Ag-3 acres to Residential- <br />Agricultural .5 acre and a favorable recommendation for the State Land Use Boundary <br />Amendment from Agricultural to Urban. Are there any questions? <br />WATANABE: Thank you. Fellow Commissioners, any questions of staff? <br />Mr. Domingo? <br />DOMINGO: Under the Low Density designation how many units can you put in on <br />one acre? <br />COTTLE: I believe it’s five. <br />DOMINGO: Five units on Low Density? <br />COTTLE: I’m sorry, it’s six. <br />DOMINGO: Six, acre? <br />COTTLE: Six units per acre. <br />DOMINGO: Okay. <br />WATANABE: Follow-up question to that, but this will only allow two, yeah, as it’s <br />stated right now, cause it’s a half acre, right? <br />COTTLE: This would allow two, yes. <br />WATANABE: Okay. Any further questions of staff? Okay, moving along. I do have <br />three people here that signed up to testify. So maybe I can call two of you, well, I can call all <br />three of you up. Marvellee Branco-Azevedo, would you come up please, Jack Branco, and Greg <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />2 <br /> <br />
