DOWNTOWN HILO COMMERCIAL CORE (DHCC) <br />Within the CDH district, there is an area that can be identified as the Downtown <br />Hilo Commercial Core (DHCC), where an existing and unique compact historic <br />fabric forms its physical landscape. This core is identified by all land parcels <br />abutting and within the development area limits of Hilo Bay, Wailuku River, the <br />eastern boundary of Kino`ole Street, and Ponahawai Street. <br />The DHCC is identified by common physical features that enhance the existing <br />pedestrian - friendly community. Many of the buildings include historic design <br />features and are on the State and National Historic Register. Canopies over the <br />sidewalk are a common feature that protect pedestrians from the sun and rain. <br />A majority of buildings in the core area directly abut the sidewalk, i.e. have a <br />zero front yard. Further, in recognition of the small lots sizes, the DHCC area, in <br />accordance with the County of Hawaii Zoning Code, is currently exempt from <br />off - street parking and loading requirements. <br />Aerial view of o section of Downtown Hilo I <br />EDH 2025: 5 -Year Action Plan Update 6 1 Page <br />
