Maija. <br /> <br />COTTLE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The next application is a request for a change of zone. And if I <br />can direct your attention to the screen, the subject property is located in the Puna district, within the <br />town of Pahoa. And you can see here on the slide the Pahoa Bypass runs along the north, east side of <br />the slide. You can see Pahoa Village Road running through the middle of the slide, and then Post <br />Office Road leading from Pahoa Village Road, the Bypass in this location here. The subject property <br />is outlined black in this location. It is currently zoned Single-Family Residential - 10,000 square feet, <br />which is shown in the yellow color. And there is not a big difference between the two colors but the <br />yellow closer to town here is zoned Single-Family Residential - 10,000 square feet. The lighter yellow <br />just outside of town here and over here is zoned Agricultural – 1 acre. All of the areas in light purple <br />are currently zoned Village Commercial, which is the zoning that the applicant is requesting. <br /> <br />The General Plan designation for the property is Medium Density Urban, and that is shown in the <br />darker green. And just outside of that is an area of Low Density Urban in the yellow color. This is a <br />map of the Pahoa Village from the Puna Community Development Plan.
