This is the County’s General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map. You may indicate, or you may note, the orange color here which represents a medium density urban designation, that is supportive of commercial type of uses as well as Multiple Family Residential uses. Also note the subject property here outlined in black that is situated within the orange colored area. The yellow represents low density urban which is typically single family residential as well as this cross thatched area indicating urban expansion which accommodates a myriad of uses that have not yet been clearly defined by the County. Other colors in the surrounding, this core is agricultural designated lands. This is a map depicting the State Land Use boundaries within the area and its distribution. The green represents agricultural designated lands and the pinks represent urban designated lands. Off here, you see a yellow color, that’s a, one of the few rural designated lands we have within the County. The subject property, again, is located here outlined in black. Zooming in, this is a closer shot of the subject property relative to not only roadways within the area but also depicting the various zoning district that currently apply to the affected area. The subject property once again is outlined in black and encumbering (sic) one acre of land designated agricultural – 1a or one acre minimum lot size. You may note Pāhoa Bypass off to your right, Old Pāhoa Village Road off to your left, and fronting the property is Kahakai Boulevard. Surrounding properties include Woodland Center, which maintains a Neighborhood Commercial zoning. This is Pāhoa Auto Parts, also Neighborhood Commercial zoning. This purple color here is Malama Market Place, and this is a Commercial Industrial Mixed Use zoning district classification, and as you may recall, this was the Kuwahara rezoning where a proposed shopping center was planned and for which a change of zone to a Village Commercial zoning was approved last year. The applicant’s request is to rezone the property to a Village Commercial zoning that is consistent with the type of zoning classification applied to the Kuwahara property. This is an aerial photo. This time the property is outlined in red. You may note an existing home on the property as well as in the back of the property an existing warehouse structure approximately 1,200 square feet in size. The property does front Kahakai Boulevard, and as you may note, this is the location of Woodland Center, Malama Place off to the top left, and this is the Kuwahara property off to your left. The applicant, once again, is requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agriculture to Urban district; a Change of Zone from Agricultural – 1 acre, minimum lot size to Village Commercial – 20,000 square feet minimum lot size affecting one acre of land. The reason for the request is to accommodate the renovation of an existing 1,200 square foot warehouse building into a food processing facility for the preparation of commercial smoked sausages, meats, and fish. This is the applicant’s site plan showing the existing improvements on the property. Kahakai Boulevard is off to your left. Excuse me, once again, this is a one acre property, and you may note the total of the boundaries here, outlined in heavier black, as well as the existing improvements consisting of an existing home and an existing warehouse structure that will be renovated to accommodate this food processing facility. And this is the existing driveway leading out to Kahakai Boulevard. This is a site photo showing, looking east along Kahakai 2 EXHIBIT A
