to the Eagles Cafe within the already approved commercial zone. That property <br /> could potentially be swapped or developed, avoiding the need to rezone outside of <br /> the planned commercial core. <br /> Importantly, the location of this lot is outside of the intended commercial zone as <br /> designated in both the Puna Community Development Plan (PCDP) and the Volcano <br /> Community Development Plan (VCDP 2015). The Hawai'i County General Plan 2045 further <br /> reinforces this distinction: The area along Old Volcano Highway above the post <br /> office is designated as "Low Density Urban," where the primary use is residential <br /> with only ancillary community and convenience-type commercial uses allowed. By <br /> contrast, the area at the post office and below is designated "Moderate Density <br /> Urban," where village and neighborhood commercial uses are intended to be <br /> located. Thank you for noting this distinction. <br /> In light of these plans and the availability of suitable alternatives, we and others in <br /> our community, respectfully request that the Planning Commission deny this <br /> rezoning request. <br /> Thank you forconsidering oursubmitted testimony and your service on <br /> the Windward Planning Commission, <br /> Our aloha, <br /> Kathleen & Peter Golden <br /> PO Box 647 <br /> Volcano Hawaii 96785 <br /> Kathleen Golden <br />
