applicant is currently requesting. This is the General Plan designation for the property. The areas in orange are Medium Density Urban. The areas in red are High Density Urban. In the Medium Density Urban Multi-Family Residential zoning is allowed, and, as well as some commercial uses. The applicant is requesting a change of zone from RM-2.5 to RM-1.5 in order to develop an affordable housing project known as Hualalai Court. He’s planning on developing 88 affordable housing units. This is his current development proposal. This is conceptual so it can change. But you have Hualalai Street on the right side of the slide, and then Hale Nani comes down off of that heading south. So he is proposing to extend Hualalai Street and then drop it down into a driveway. And you can see the units here, the Multi-Family Residential, units here in this location here. He’s also proposing some playground areas along here and on the northeast side of the property. This is an aerial view of the property and surrounding neighborhood. These are the Single- Family Residential homes making up the Hualalai Subdivision. The property is outlined in red. You can see there is an existing dwelling and pool on the property that the applicant is planning on demolishing. And then this is a view from the end of Hualalai Street looking towards the property. So this curve here curves around to Halenani Street. And the subject property is in this location here. The Planning Director is recommending a favorable recommendation for the change of zone request. And before I take questions, I just want to call your attention to a few correspondence we’ve received. You should have two letters from Charlene Nishida. One is dated February 4, 2010. These were comments that she submitted when the applicant first rezoned his property three years ago. And then you should also have a letter dated October 1, 2013 from Charlene Nishida. And we’ve also received a letter from Roy Toma, Roy and Ann Toma, and that letter includes the applicant’s response to the Tomas at the bottom of the page. Then you should also have an email st from David Martins dated October 1. And that concludes my presentation. Are there any questions? ISHIBASHI: Thank you, Maija. Any questions of staff, Commissioners? Could we have the applicant come forward, please. Good morning, Mr. Tai. TAI: Good morning. ISHIBASHI: If you could raise your right hand, please. Do you swear and affirm to tell the truth before the Windward Planning Commission over this matter? TAI: Yes, I do. ISHIBASHI: Thank you. Could you state your name for the record. 2 EXHIBIT A
