I should also say the, the YMCA Building is located between Lanikāula Street and the subject property. The General Plan designation for the property is Low Density Urban. Low Density Urban allows single family residents, residential uses, as well as community uses, so the proposed church would be consistent with the General Plan designation. This is an aerial view of the property. Again, you can see the property outlined in red. It has been grubbed and graded recently, I think, prior to January of last year. And you have Lanikāula Street running through the bottom of the slide. Then you can see the YMCA building. The property does currently get its access off of Lanikāula in this area here. They have an easement over the YMCA driveway, so there’s an entrance in this location, and then it loops around and there’s an exit only. The applicant’s requesting to establish a church and related improvements. Those will include a 3,200 square foot church sanctuary building that includes an office for the church, an approximately 2,000 square foot building that will include a kitchen, restrooms, classroom, nursery, and storage for the church. And then in the future, they would like the ability to add an additional building to accommodate the needs of the church expansion. That would be about fifteen to two thousand square feet. And they’re also proposing on-site parking and landscaping as required by the Zoning Code. Church services and classes and fellowship would be held Sundays for about 250 congregants, mainly between 9 and 1. And then Bible classes would be held at various times during the week for about ten to twenty participants. This is a site plan that the applicant submitted. It’s kind of oriented opposite of the previous slides but you can see Lanikāula Street on the right side of the slide. The future Kapi‘olani Street extension is shown on the top of the slide, and then you have the YMCA building over in the right corner. You can see the existing entrance only driveway of the YMCA and the loop around to the exit through their parking area, and then the subject property behind that. So, this is what the church is proposing. They’re proposing to access through the YMCA parking lot and extend a driveway into a new parking area for the church. You can see the main sanctuary building that they’re proposing as well as that smaller building to accommodate Bible classes, restrooms, as well as a nursery. And then off to the left side of the slide, you have an area for a future building. Once Kapi‘olani Street extension is constructed, which is anticipated to be done fairly soon within the next few years, the church would like to get access off of that extension as well which would be along the top of the slide. I’m assuming they’re going to propose just to punch through in this area here into the parking lot. This is a view of the YMCA entrance, so Lanikāula Street is very far in the back here. This is their entrance. It’s an entrance only, and the subject property, I was standing on the subject property looking back at the YMCA parking lot here, so this gives you an idea of the topography and slope of the property as well as where the access will be in the future. This is the exit driveway with, again, Lanikāula Street very far in the back. So the, one of the driveways to the church property, would be in this general area here. And then, this is a view looking to the west. This is the US Army training property in the back. And then the future driveway for the church would come off in this area here. And then this is a view looking towards where the future Kapi‘olani Street extension would be along the tree line 2 EXHIBIT B
