Dear Dr. Bonham:
Re: Request for"No Effect"Determinaiion for a Change of Zone
Nanawaie Homesteads Puna Hawa.ai'i TMK 1- -•0 4: 005
This office submitted an application on behalf of Paul Ogasawara for a Chang
of Zone from Single-family Residential(RS-15))to Commercial Village(CV-10)for th
subject parcel. If approved,the applicant plans to construct several residential styled
structures and use them for office and possibly retail uses.
The project site,consisting of nearly 1 acre,is situated on the northeast side of e
Old Pahoa Village Road,between the Pahoa Post Office to the southeast and Apaa Ro
to the north.
s
The entire subject site has been used residentially for well over 50 years. The
existing residential structure,which will be eventually torn down,is vacant.
Based on the foregoing,we believe that the site has no significant historic value.
Should there be a need to photograph the existing dwelling,it can be done. According)),
we revectfully request that a determination of",no historic properties affected"be
provided. The site and location maps are enclosed.
Should you have any questions or require more information,please feel free to
contact this office. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

PAUL OG SAWA A
NANAIIALE HOMESTEADS, PISA, HWAI`
TAX MAP BEY: 3 1.5-014: 005
I. INTRODUCTION
Paul Ogasawara ("applicant") wishes to rezone 42,856 square feet or
approximately 1-acre of land, identified by TIVIK: 3 1-5-014: 005, into the
Village Commercial ial C1 - district. The purpose of this request is to
enable him to construct a commercial office and retail complex consisting
of approximately 7,500 square feet.
II. PROJECT LOCATION
The subject area, consisting of approximately 1.0 acre, is located
generally on the northeast side of the Pahoa Village Road, between the
Pahoa Post Office to the southeast and Apaa Toad to the north. More
specifically, the host Office is located about 500 feet to the southeast
towards the core of Pahoa Village. There is a martial arts school within a
converted single-family residential structure located directly across of or
Volcano side of the subject site. The Woodlawn Shopping Center is
located approximately a ,,file Hilo side of the subject site. It is situated in
the land division of I anawale Homesteads, Puna, and is identified by
TM K: 3 1-5-014: 005. (Figures 1 and 2).
III. PROJECT ECT I. ESC IPTION
A. Project Conde
The applicant, a lifelong resident of Pahoa, believes that while there
have been a recent surge of commercial retail areas within and around
the village, the amount of available office space has not kept up with
that growth. As such, he would like to develop a project that would
address that need, while ,making it possible for some limited or small
scale retail activities.
In that regard} the applicant initially had conceptual plans prepared that
reflected a much larger project. It called for a 9,000 square foot
commercial office building as well as a 3,840 square foot retail building
on the subject site. (Figure However, after considering the
predominantly rural and residential character of the surrounding area,
the applicant elected to scale the project back to reflect structures that
would be more in keeping with the surrounding area.

The applicant's current plans call for the construction of a complex of
residential-scaled structures for commercial office and possibly some
retail use. The concept plan calls for three 3 single-family scaled
structures, consisting of approximately 2,500 square feet each. These
structures would all be single-story with a height not exceeding twenty
fire 2 feet. As proposed, there would be twenty six 2 parking
stalls, sic of which would be handicapped accessible. (Figures 4,
4a
Further a 1 -foot wide future road widening and landscaping strip
fronting Pahoa village Road would also be provided.
B. Pr
iot Timetable and Cost
The applicant hopes to begin construction of the project by spring of
2015. This would be after the required rezoning approval is secured
(hopefully, by the end of the year), as well as completion of the plans
and building permit approvals in early 2015).
The cost of these improvements is estimated at $1.5 Trillion. In
addition to the basic building cost, included in this cost estimate are the
wastewater system and driveway improvements.
111. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. General Description
The subject site is slightly rectangular in shape, with varying widths of
192+ to 198+ feet and varying lengths of 212+ to 227+ feet. The site is
fairly level with no significant undulations, except them is a slight slope
towards the rear of the property.
The site has been used essentially as a residence. As such, there is a
vacant 1,632 square foot, single-family dwelling on the subject
property, as well as lawn, some citrus, mango, and plumeria trees, as
well as former anthurium plants and other non-native landscaping.
The property fronts the old Pahoa Village Road between the Post
Office on the southeast and Apaar Road to the north_
B. Climate, Soil and Topography
At approximately the Boo-foot elevation level, the site is located about
riles from the ocean. The average annual rainfall is 140 inches.
The average annual temperature ranges between 72 to 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, with occasional higher and lower ranges daring certain
periods such as summer or winter months.

The prevailing wind patterns in the area are often light and variable,
dominated by tradewinds (easterly) during the day and westerly or
mountain grinds during the evenings.
The Land Studv Bureau Overall Master Productivitz 1 a ire of this area
is 3 very poor. This designation suggests that the site has
gory poor potential for agricultural productivity. Further, this type of soil
is characterized by almost bare pahoe o , with r very little soil material.
The parent material is pa roe oe, and it is moderately draine f. It is
unsuited for machine fillabili y.
The project site is unclassified under the Agricultural Lands of
Importance to the state of Hawaii ALISH classification system. This
classification does not recognize this site as being agriculturally
important.
C. Natural Hazards
1, Drainage
The Federal Flood Insurance Rate Map FIRM identifies the
subject site to be within Zone X (arrears outside of 500-year flood .
There are no existing drainage ways on the site.
2. Tsunami Hazard
Given its elevation (800+/- feet) and distance from the nearest
shoreline + - miles , it is located outside of the Civil Defense's
Tsunami Evacuation Zone. Thus, there should be little or no threat
from high waves.
3. Volcanic and Earthquake Hazards
According to the United states Geological survey maps, the project
site is located within Lava Flog Hazard Zone 2, on ar scale of
ascending asks g to 1. The entire City of Hilo falls in the Zone 3
category. There is very little that can be done to protect structures
and improvements on the site from lava flows. Like all residents,
the reliance would be on the evacuation system provided by the
County.
The Building Code designates the entire island of Ha waii
Earthquake Zone 4 and contains certain structural requirements to
address the relative seismic hazard. These will be complied with in
conjunction with the construction of any new structure on the site.
D. Fauna Resources
Although there was no professional survey conducted of the faunal
resources of the site, the applicant does not believe that rare or
endangered faunal resources are likely to be found within or proximate
to the subject site. This is due to the already developed state of the
subject area and its immediate surrounding area.
Nonetheless, due to the semi-developed state of this area, the faunal
resources should be somewhat typical of other developed areas. One
may thus find bird species such as the Spotted Dove, Japanese White-
eye, House Finch, Common Myna, and the like. Domestic animal
such as cats and dogs, and other animals like rats and mongoose are
also common.
None of these are endangered animals. As such, it is unlikely that the
development of this property would cause any adverse faunal impacts.
E. Flora Resources
Similarly, no commissioned botanical survey was done of the subject
site. vegetation of the site consists of a lawn, some citrus, mango and
plumerla trees, and other non-native landscaping. There are also
remnants of an anthurium farm.
All of these are alien or introduced plants which can also be found in
similar areas in the Pahoa area. done of these were considered
threatened or endangered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Thus,
it can be reasonably argued that development of this area is not
expected to have a significant negative impact on the botanical
reso u rtes.
F. Archaeological Resources
As the site was and continues to be used as a residence, an
archaeological inventory survey of the subject site was not performed.
A letter requesting a determination of 44 no historic properties affected,
from the Department of Land and Natural Resources will be submitted
together with this application.
Notwithstanding the above, during the course of improving the site,
should any unanticipated archaeological features or sites be
uncovered, work will cease and the applicant will immediately notify the
Planning Department.
4
G. Valued cultural Resources
The recent Hawaii State Supreme court's "PASH" and "Ka Pa`a ai
' 1ina"decisions require decision-makers to consider a project's
impact to native Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights. specifically,
there must be a discussion of the cultural, historical, and natural
resources and associated traditional and customary practices of this
site and the impact of this project to these resources and practices.
In this situation, the subject site is not adjacent ardor proximate to the
shoreline. As such, fishing and coastal access is not an issue.
Furthermore, as noted in the floral and faunal analysis, there are no
known rare or endangered plants or animal life. The applicant has not
observed any native Hawaiians gathering plants within or proximate to
the subject site. As such, it would appear very unlikely that the site
would serve such purpose today and/or in the recent past.
Nonetheless, if legitimate claims are made, the applicant will make the
appropriate access accommodations.
Furthermore, in the event inadvertent discoveries are made while
improving the site, appropriate protocols will be taken. These include
stopping work and making contacts and determining appropriate
courses of action with the State Historic Preservation Division.
Based on the above, it does not appear that the project would have
any potential adverse impacts relating to native Hawaiian cultural and
historical resources and/or practices.
H. Water and coastal Resources
urces
The subject site is located about 6 miles from the coastline. As such,
coastal impacts resulting from discharge of drainage systems from the
site should not be significant. Being a non-coastal property, no coastal
access will be affected.
Any expanded use of the property will comply with the requirements of
the State Department of Health relative to wastewater systems. This
may include the installation of a septic system. In that event, there
should be further protection of the groundwater or nearshore water
impacts resulting from this project.
L Noise Air Quality, and Dust
Generally, air quality is affected by regional and local climates as well
as the amount and type of human activity in a given location. No large,
5
stationery sources of air pollutants and no major 'industries are located
within the project area. Air quality in the vicinity is most affected by
emissions from natural and vehicular sources.
Fisting ambient noise in this area includes wind, foliage and traffic
along the existing streets, particularly the old Pahoa pillage Toad.
Although the project may slightly increase traffic in the area, it is not
expected to generate significant levels of air pollutants as only
discernible air quality would be associated with traffic to and from the
site.
The proposed development should not generate any direct air impacts.
As the project itself is not expected to generate adverse air pollutants,
the only air quality impact would be associated with vehicular traffic to
and from the site. While the added traffic will have an impact to the
ambient air quality, the impact should not be significant. This is due in
part to the higher EPA standards for vehicular air emissions and the
prevailing trade winds.
Relative to new construction, there may be short-term noise impacts
during the construction phase. To mitigate this impact, all construction
activity will be limited to daylight hours and weekdays. Contractors will
be required to comply with established State Department of Health
guidelines and standards relating to noise and emission controls.
Given the existing ambient noise and existing urban environment, the
proposed request would not have a significant noise impact to
surrounding properties.
J. Scenic and Visual Considerations
In the Natural Beauty element of the General Plan, there are sites or
areas listed as scenic resources. The subject site is not listed as a
scenic site. From the Old Par oar Village Road, the subject site w utd
not impede the vier of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa or any of the identified
scenic resources.
Notwithstanding those circumstances, the height of any new structure
would be no taller than 35 feet, the maximum allowed within the
existing single-family residential zone.
V. SOCIAL AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS
A. Surrounding land Lases
The surrounding land uses in this area are a mixture of residential
6
and rural-residential sized lots and commercial uses. There are some
commercial uses and zoned properties to the southwest towards the
core of Pahoa pillage. This includes the Post Office, less than Soo feet
away. Hence, the requested use would be compatible with the
evolving land use pattern in this area.
There is no active agricultural activity on the property or even on the
adjoining properties. Given the existing and zoned conditions, the
proposed CV zoning would not be incongruous with the existing
mixture of commercial/residential pattern of this area. (Figure 5)
B. Economic Impacts
The requested zoning would have some measure of direct economic
impact. From a short-term standpoint, there would be the construction
impact; from a long-terra impact, it would provide much needed
supportive commercial office uses to the region. In so doing, it would
provide opportunity for complementary uses, uses that could
strengthen an area's overall economic stability.
c. ricultural Im acts
As noted earlier, the site and surrounding area have not been
intensively used for agriculture in the recent past. Given its soil
classification of"E", intensive agricultural activity may be absent here.
This typo of soil condition is common in this area and the development
should not result in the removal of significant agricultural properties.
111. INFRASTRUCTURE co s I RATi ON S
A. R
Access to the project site is from the County-owned and maintained
Old Pahoa Village Toad. This road has a right-of-way of + - feet
with a pavement width of 20+/- feet and grassed shoulders. If
approved, the applicant intends to set aside, improve as may be
needed, and then dedicate the additional right-of- gray with
improvements fronting the site to the County.
A Traffic Impact Analysis Report "TZAR" was prepared based on the
more intensive development consisting of nine thousand (9,000)
square feet of office space and three thousand eight hundred forty
(3,840) square feet of retail space or a nearly thirteen thousand
(13,000) square feet project. As noted earlier, the project, however,
has been significantly scaled back to a , 00+ - square foot complex.

The concurreny requirement for a TIAR is fifty or more peak hour
trips. Based on the larger project, a TIAR was prepared and is
attached as Exhibit A. Notwithstanding the project's reduction: the
TIAR noted that the larger project would generate thirty 3 M peak
and 19 III peak hour traffic.
The TIAR concluded that
The 13,000 square foot project "has eery little impact on the
existing conditions in the area. For both intersections, the levels
or service will remain the same for all movements as before the
proecU."
• "In all cases, both intersections and the driveway, the approach
le Orel of service remains H with the intersection delays only
varying a fear seconds. Therefore, it can be expected that this
project will have little, if any, impact on the immediate area and
surroundings area."
Given that the project has been scaled back by nearly 40%, the
impacts should be no more significant than the larger one. As such, it
can be concluded that the traffic impacts will be the sane as noted in
the TIAR or less.
B. Water
There is an existing County grater line fronting the property along the
Id Pahoa Village Road. If an additional or larger T eter is needed, the
applicant will install one. The applicant will also install a bac flo w
pre enter, if required.
C. Wastewater
There is a cesspool that used to service the abandoned residence.
That will be abandoned and a septic system capable of serving the
project and meeting with the standards and approval of the State
Department ment of Health will be constructed.
D. solid Waste
Solid waste will be handled by commercial haulers who will dispose of
the refuse at the county approved landfill, which at this time is located
in Hilo. Typically, the waste generation of a project of this nature
(office use) should be comparable to a few residences.
8
Although the applicant does not believe one is needed, if required, a
Solid Waste Management Plan can be prepared to help address ways
to accommodate and reduce the project's waste.
E. Other Government Services
As this area is already part of the Pah a Village I it is already being
serviced. No extension of government services would be required.
The nearest fire station is located in Pah a Village, less than 2 miles
from the subject site. Similarly, the Police Station is located in the
Village.
Public school K-12 is available at the Pah a High School complex
also approximately 2 railer from the subject site. There is a County
park in Paha pillage.
As such, the project should not result in the extension of any
government s ari s. Further, the required public facilities are located
reasonably proximate to the subject site.
F. Other uti I itiea
All ether utilities such as telephone, cable, and electrical services are
available to the site.
V11. INSTITUTIONAL N REGULATORY Y C SIDE TI S
A. State Lana use
The subject property is designated Urban. As such, a State Land use
boundary amendment to cover the requested CV-10 zone would not be
required.
B. Hawaii State Plan
Chapter 226, Ha waii Revised Statutes, outlines the long-range goals
and policies of the Hawaii State Plan. Said Plan is intended to serge
as a guide for the growth and future long-range development of the
State.
Pursuant to said requirement, a discussion of the pertinent policies and
goals and the project's relationship follows:
Goals
A strong, Friable economy characterized by stability, diversity, and
• growth that enables the fulfillment of the needs and expectations of
Hawaii's present and future generations
• A desired physical environment characterized by beauty,
cleanliness, quiet, stable and natural systems, and uniqueness that
enhances the mental and physical Drell-being of the people
• Physical, social and economic well-being for individuals and
families that nourishes a sense of community responsibility and
caring of participation in family life.
Discussion
The proposed single-story residential-scale commercial complex would
achieve these goals. It would provide troth direct and indirect
employment opportunities for current and future residents of the island;
contribute to the island's overall tax base and hence, increase both
State and County revenues; and complement and support other
economic uses— particularly the surrounding and evolving mixture of
uses - and, in turn, contribute to the stability, diversity, and growth of
local and regional economies.
This employment opportunity would come without adversely affecting
the environment. There is no known n wildlife or plant life listed as either
endangered or threatened on the subject site. Then} too, there are no
known archaeological or cultural features on the site. if there are
inadvertent finds, appropriate mitigative protocols will be taken.
.
Impacts to the surrounding areas would also not be significantly
adverse. All required infrastructures are or will be in place by the
applicant prier to occupancy of any portion of the project. These
include a private wastewater and possibly upgraded water systems.
Furthermore, the provision and/or retention of natural landscaped
buffers around the perimeter of and selected portions within the project
site would also help mitigate any adverse visual and noise impacts to
neighboring residential or commercial properties.
C. County General Plan
The County General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide LUPAG
map designates the subject site and surrounding area Medium
Density. Based on this designation, the General Plan allow
consideration for "Village and neighborhood commercial mercial acrd
residential and related functions (3-story commercial; residential- up to
35 units per acre."
10
The requested County zoning and planned uses would be consistent
with the uses envisioned within the Medium fium ensi area. As such, no
General Plan amendment would be required to effectuate this project.
The request would also be consistent with the General Plan goals,
policies and objective. Specifically, the more pertinent ones follow:
Economic Element
Goals
• Provide residents with opportunities to improve their quality
of life.
• Economic development and improvement shall be in balance
with the physical and social environments of the island of
Hawaii.
• The County of Hawaii shall strive for diversity and stability in
its economic syte m.
• The County shall provide an economic environment which
allows new, expanded, or improved economic opportunities
that are compatible with the County's natural and social
environment.
Policies
The County shall provide an economic environment which
allows new, expanded, or improved economic opportunities
that are compatible with the County's natural and social
environment.
• The County shall strive for an economic climate which
provides its residents an opportunity for choice of
occupation.
• The County shall strive for diversification of its economy by
strengthening existing industries and attracting new
endeavors.
• The County shall encourage the development of a visitor
industry which is consistent with the social, physical, and
economic goals of the residents of the County.
r �
Land Use Element Commer
Loafs
Provide for commercial developments that maximize
convenience to its users.
0 Provide commercial developments that complement the
overall pattern of transportation and land usage within the
island's regions, communities, and neighborhoods.
Policies
Commercial facilities shall be developed in areas
adequately served by necessary services, such as water,
utilities, sewers, and transportation systems. Should such
services not be available, the development of more intensive
uses should be in concert with a localized program of public
and private capital improvements to meet the expected
increased needs.
Distribution of commercial areas shall be such as to best
meet the demands of neighborhood, community and regional
needs.
The development of commercial facilities should be
designed to fit into the locale with minimum um intrusion while
providing the desired services. Appropriate infrastructure
and design controls shall be incorporated into the review of
such developments
Standards
0 Commercial developments shall be located in areas
adequately served by transportation, utilities, and amenities.
Commercial developments shall provide for adequate
internal circulation amongst commercial facilities in the area.
0 Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be provided.
Commercial development shall maintain or improve the
quality of the present environment through the consideration
of visual, access, landscaping} and other design elements in
their development.
• Preference shall be given to commercial lands with a
1
reasonably level topography.
Discussion
As the residential areas of Puna continue to grow, there will be a
need to accommodate the various communities' commercial retail
and office needs. Much of these needs are being provided outside
of the Puna District. laving opportunities closer to the heart of the
lower Puna district area should help reduce regional traffic
congestion not only for workers but patrons who frequent these
businesses.
Furthermore, while there has been considerable increase in retail
spaces, the corresponding increase in office space has lagged
somewhat. This project would help address that deficit.
The subject site, in addition to attempting to meet this need, also
fulfills other policies and standards articulated in the General Plan.
The site is already and will be serviced by adequate infrastructure.
The County water line is already available. Fire protective services
are available within two riles of the site. Wastewater system
meeting with the standards of the State Department of health will
be provided by the applicant in conjunction with the development of
the project. All other utilities are available to the site. As such, this
development should not require additional public services to be
provided.
The site does not have any on-site developmental constraints. The
land is relatively level, and there are no flood (Zone or other
hazardous condition that would render the site a developmental
problem and pose a burden to public agencies. Further, given the
non-noxious type of use associated with commercial office type of
uses, pollution concerns typically associated with heavy industry
would be minimal, if at all.
As the land has been cleared, the prospects of the site serving as a
habitat for rare or endangered plant or animal life appear remote.
Most of the subject area is devoid of its original vegetation. Then,
too, while there may be a potential for some endemic birds to visit
this area, the development of this site would not remove a critical
habitat. At the same time, there are alternative areas that would be
more suitable for any habitats.
Likewise, due to the developed physical nature of this site, it is very
unlikely that there may be any archaeological features left on the
site. In the event there are some inadvertent archaeological finds,
work will stop and the State DLNR and County Planning
Department will be consulted before further activities occur within
the affected area.
The use is also compatible,with the surrounding area. For the
most part, properties adjacent to the subject site are residential and
commercial.
If needed, additional landscaping can be provided to help mitigate
potential visual impacts of the project. As such, while the location
of the requested area is proximate to a few residences, appropriate
mitigation measures, if needed, can be taken.
Finally, all additional structures built on the site will comply with the
standards outlined in the Zoning Code —such as parking, loading
zone, setback, height, etc.
D. Puna CommuniiW Development men Plan (CDP)
Section 15.1 of the County General Plan called for the development
and eventual County Council adoption of CDPs. The General Plan
states that the CDP " rll translate the broad General Plan statements
to specific actions as they apply to specific geographical areas." The
General Plan also notes that should the CDP require a General Plan
amendment, it could be considered concurrent with the adoption of the
CDP. H ovwreve r, "If there is s direct conflict between the Community
Development Plan and the General Plant the General Plan shall be
control lin .it (emphasis added)
Pursuant to the above, the Puna CDP was developed and adopted by
the Hawai*i County Council on August 2 , Zoo . It became effective
on September 10, 2008 as Ordinance No. 08 116.
The CDP identified a "Regional ional Town Cente ' for, among other areas,
Pahoa town. The subject site is within the Regional Town Center area
and generally proximate to designated and/or zoned for commercial
uses. Thus, the requested zoning is generally consistent with this land
use emphasis.
In addition to the map, the CDP established three 3 major themes-
Malama 1 Ka; lira which "establishes how the contextual
natural, historic and cultural features of Puna should be
preserved." (emphasis added)
14
• Growth Management which "addresses how the future pattern
of human settlement and land use should be shaped to respect
that context and support the desired quality of life for Pun '
residents.' (emphasis added)
• Transportation which Iocuses on sustainable approaches to
transportation to support the goals of the two above themes.,,
Relative to the Malama I Ka`Airy theme, four major elements were
identified and assigned goals, objectives, and actions. These elements
and their relationship to the proposed action follow:
1. Historic Cultural and Scenic Resources
The site has been entirely cleared of all vegetation and used as
residence. As such, it would appear that archaeological resources
of this site are probably non-existent.
Nonetheless,, should there be inadvertent discoveries during the
construction of this project, work will stop and contacts with the
County Planning Department and State Historic Preservation
Division will be rude.
2. Native Forests and Geological Features
Given the location of the property and the geological condition of
the site, the goals and objectives of this element would not be
applicable to the proposed project. The subject site is not part of
any established native forest area, neither does it have any
significant or unique geological features.
3. Aquifers, Coastal Waters and Storm waters
The project site is net proximate to potable wells in this area.
Notwithstanding that factor, the project will have a wastewater
system that would comply with the State Department of Health's
standards to assure adequate protection of any potential
groundwater in this area.
All storm water generated by the project would be retained on site
through a system of dry Drell , if any are needed. In that event,
these drywells will require the approval of the State Department of
Health and through the I P ES permitting tern, the objective of
not only storm water containment but protection of groundwater will
be fulfilled.
1
Given the above, combined with the fact that the property is over
riles from the ocean, the goals and objectives of this element
would be fulfilled.
4. Shoreline Area
As the site is not a shoreline or coastal property, this element is not
applicable.
The other there is .Managing Growth. For this, six elements were
identified. These elements and their relationship to the project follow.
1. Land Use Pattern
The Implementation Section (chapter of the CDP identifies,
among others, regional Torn Centers within which commercial
areas are further identified. The subject site is proximate to
commercial areas. Actually, it can be considered generally
99sandwiched" between commercially zoned properties and/or uses.
Further, Section 5.2.1 of the CDP focuses on the land use
entitlement process as it relates to regional town centers and
community village centers states that ""Future zone changes and
State lard use boundary amendments for the regional town centers
and community village centers at Kea"au, Pa oa, and Hawaiian
Paradise Park shall be consistent with the L PAS mad
esigna ions of the General Plan.,, (Erg p hasis added). fn this
situation, the subject site falls within the Medium Density
designation of the General Plan LUPAG reap.
Thus, in considering land use applications, the CDP does not
mandate consideration of only those sites that fall exactly within
designated regional, community, or neighborhood centers. The
designated areas are to be used as guides, thus enabling land use
applications to be considered in a much broader policy context.
Given the above, this request is being evaluated against the
articulated goals and objectives of the Managing Growth theme.
The request mould be consistent with the following Goals of the
CDP:
Improves the quality of life and expands economic opportunity
for Puna's residents.
Deduces the exposure to high risk from natural hazard
situations.
16
* Makes services and community facilities more accessible in
village/town centers
o Reduces overall number of buildable lots in Puna.
In that regard, the proposed project is intended to be supportive of
the needs of the community. Having the project situated in this
area provides the ability to concentrate commercial retail and office
uses in a general location. It would allow for the eventual in-filling
of the arrears between the core of Pahoa town and the Woodlawn
Center area to the north. Hence, the project's location would not
necessarily foster urban commercial sprawl.
Additionally, the project would indirectly provide economic
opportunity for Puna's residents, This project could eventually and
indirectly yield much needed employment in this area. This site
would be a convenient location not only for prospective employees
but the community in general.
2. A-qriulture and Economic Development
The CDP identifies the following:
Goals
• Increase opportunities for diversified agriculture
• Preserve lands for agricultural use
• Increase local market share of Puna agricultural products
Objectives
• Discourage urban growth and further subdivision on lands that
have been identified as having agricultural value
The subject site is zoned residential and not agriculture. There is
also no evidence that the site, aside from domestic purposes, has
been used intensively for agricultural purposes in the recent past. It
has been used as a residence until a few years ago.
As such, the proposed project should not have an adverse impact
on the agriculture industry. It could actually be indirectly supportive
of it through the provision of services to that industry.
3. Social Services and I--lou�in
As this is not a housing project, this section is not really applicable.
Indirectly, however, by providing employment opportunities in an
17
area that is proximate to lower Puna, the project would reduce
commuting time and expenses. In that regard, it could afford
employees and employers to devote more time to their families and
the community.
4. Public Safety and Sanitation Service
The subject site is located in an area where basic infrastructure is
available or will, if needed, be made by the applicant. These
include a private wastewater system and the provision of additional
land for roadway purposes fronting the property.
5. Parks and Recreation
This section is not really applicable, as the project would have no
direct impacts on parks. Nonetheless, there are existing park
facilities in the villages of Kea'au and Pahoa. Then, too, the site is
not listed for any future trails or park related uses.
6. Ene[gy Energy Sustainabilit
The applicant may utilize solar and photovoltaic system to help with
some of its power needs. Other means to reduce dependency on
the conventional fuel source is being explored.
The third theme is Transportation. This therm identifies, as it pertains to
the subject request, the following goals and objectives:
Goals
Reduce percentage of residents who commute to employed outside
of Puna
Ike ti fires
• Provide more services and employment within Puna's village and
town centers
• create new employment opportunities in Puma in order to reduce
long commuting
It also identifies five elements. The project's relationship to these
elements follows.
I. Traffic Demand Management
The intended use will not generate much if any) employee traffic,
1
as the applicant and his wife will probably the only operators of this
food processing business. The projected volume of sales and
activity should also be quite low. Nevertheless, if there are more
intensive commercial uses of the property, its location would help
reduce the flog of both workers as well as residents requiring
certain services from traveling outside of the district. In that regard,
it would definitely fulfill two of the major objectives of this there.
2. Mass Transit
This clement is not really applicable. However, in the event bus
stops are needed in this area, the applicant would be willing to
consider an area within the property for this purpose.
3. Roadway i twork
Likewise, the objectives and policies of this element are not directly
pertinent to the project. However, it should be noted that the
project will not have a direct access to the heavily traveled Parhoa
By-Pass Road.
4.' Highways
Access to the project will be from the Old Pahoa Village Road.
Given its location, it should not directly affect the Pahoar By-Parrs
and/or Karharkai Boulevard.
5. Non-Motorized Travel and Scenic BMays
The subject site is not part of any proposed non-motorized travel
area, such as bikwary. There are also no known trails within the
subject site. Accordingly, the project would not be incongruous with
this l m nt.
The CDP also has a table (Table -1) that outlines general use and design
criteria. Relative to the Regional Town Center and the subject request:
a. The service area population is geared for 20,000 to 50,000
residents. The applicant's project is intended to supplement and
complement the growing retail uses in the area. Accordingly, it
should provide a regional service, as do the existing and evolving
retail uses in this area.
b. The subject site is about 1 acre, which is less than 30+ acres.
1
However, as the site is part of other properties in the vicinity that
are zoned commercial, it would help strengthen this regional
commercial concept.
. As new structures will be constructed: they will be designed in
accordance with the design guidelines of the C P.
. Access from the Old PaMhoa Village Road will be needed, as that is
the only access to the site. Driveway y connection :meeting with the
County's standards will be adhered to.
In summary, the requested CV zone is consistent with the Regional
Town Center concept. Further, it is also consistent with the themes
and corresponding policies and objectives of the C P.
E. county Zoni
The County zoning of the requested area is Agticufture 1- a . If the
Village Commercial C1 - request were approved, at the appropriate
time, all related land use and development codes such as building
permit and the life would be complied with by the applicant.
F. Special I la ng ernent Area
The subject site is net situated within the County Special Management
Area SI I . However, as the entire island falls within the BATA, a
general discussion of this project's relationship with the SMA
objectives follows.
1. Recreational F e u rce
The proposed improvements should not have any adverse impact
to the recreational resources of the area. The property is not
coastal property, and there are intervening properties between the
project site and the ocean. There is also no known access to the
shoreline from this site.
2. Historical and Cultural Resources
urces
As the area of the proposed improvements has been largely
cleared and used as a residence, the prospects of finding any
archaeological features on the subject site is fairly remote.
However, should there be any inadvertent finds during the further
development of this project, work will immediately cease until
clearance from the County and/or SHPD is secured.
20
Relative to cultural resources, the site of the requested area has
been cleared. The applicant also notes that there have been no
reported observation of any native Hawaiians gathering plants
within or proximate to the subject site. As such, it would appear
very unlikely than the site would serve such purpose today and/or in
the recent past.
In sum, given the disturbed nature of the area of the proposed
activity, it can be reasonably concluded that this project would have
no significant adverse impact relating to native Ha waiian cultural
and historical resources and/or practices that cannot be otherwise
mitigated.
3. scenic and open space Resources
As noted earlier, the coastal vier plane is not visible from the
Highway in the area of the subject site. This is due in large pert to
the distance between the subject site and the shoreline. As such,
this project should not adversely impact any scenic coastal
resources.
4. Coastal Ecosystem
The proposed improvements should not generate any adverse
impacts to the area"s coastal ecosystem. A drywell will probably
have to be installed to address on-site drainage. Please note that
during the course of securing the required Underground Injection
Control (UIC) and NPIDES permits, the project's impacts to the
groundwater and nearshore waters will be evaluated and
appropriate mitigative, if needed, actions will be taken.
Further, the site is situated over 5 miles from the shoreline, and any
direct interaction between the proposed use and the water should
be barely existent, if at all. Furthermore, the project's wastewater
will be disposed off in a State Department of Health approved
manner.
5. Economic Uses
The project itself should have some significant indirect economic
impacts, due to the possible long-term jobs this project could
potentially generate. The short-terra impacts relate to the
construction jobs while the long-term ones deal with the anticipated
office and perhaps some retail employees.
6. Coastal Hazards
The site is designated 'X' on the Flood Insurance Fate map. Being
at nearly the 800-foot elevation level, the site also falls outside of
the Civil Defense Tsunami Evacuation Zone.
As the site is not located adjacent to the shoreline and over 5 riles
away, n rmal winter storm waters should not be are issue for this
project.
Based on the foregoing, it is concluded that the proposed
improvements are consistent with the objectives, policies and
guidelines of the Special Management Area Mules and Regulations.
ns.
Specifically:
A. The proposed project will not have any substantial, adverse
environmental or ecological effect. Any effect that may
result will be minimized to the extent practicable and is
clearly outweighed by public health, safety and welfare, arnd
other compelling public interest.
Further, it will not generate any adverse effects by
themselves or in conjunction with other individual
developments, the potential cumulative impacts of which
would result in a substantial adverse environmental or
ecological effect and the elimination of planning options.
Appropriate mitigative measures will be taken to address any
potential adverse impacts of this project;
B. The proposed activities - as discussed earlier - are
consistent with the objectives, policies, and guidelines of the
SIVIA Mules and Regulations; and
C. The proposed activities are consistent with the County
General Plan and County Zoning Code.
G. Other Permittin g C nsiderarti ns
Other construction-related permits will be required in the future. These
would be of the it ministerial 22 variety, such as Plan Approval, building
permit, grading permit, and the lid .
VIII. IMPACT SIGNIFICANCE ANALYSIS
A. elationshi .m Between Leval short-Terre Uses Environment and
�n
Maintenance and Enhancement of Lon -Term Productivi!y
If the request were denied, the short-term use of the site would
probably continue to be used residentially and in very, very low level
agriculture activity. The use of pesticides and herbicides to support the
agricultural activity may be a nuisance to the surrounding residential
and commercial properties.
From a long-term productivity standpoint, then, the proposed CV-10
zoning would not have any significant impact on the environment or
existing mixture of residential/commercial uses in the area.
C. Irreversible a nd Irretrievable Commitment of Resources
urces
As the site has been relatively disturbed in the past, it is not likely that
its development would result in an irreversible commitment of natural
or archaeological resources.
Since the soil on the parcel has been classified "E" or very poor by the
.and Study Bureau, there is little potential for agricultural activity. The
residential use of this area should thus net compromise any
agricultural or cultural resources.
Further} it is net likely that the site has any significant archaeological
features. This is evidenced by the prier grading and existing
residential use of the site. Again, if needed, a monitoring program can
be conducted during any land disturbance activity.
D. Mitinative Measures
The applicant does not believe that significant infrastructure
improvements are needed for this rezoning. However, the applicant
already intends to set aside, improve, and dedicate a portion of the
property's frontage to the County. Curing the construction phase,
contractors will be obligated to comply with appropriate State noise
and air quality standards.
Should unanticipated archaeological finds be discovered in conjunction
with any further development of the site, work will stop (as is required
by the State and County) and clearance secured before work is
resumed.
There are no drainage ways on the property. Any land disturbance
activity, any and all required grading or grubbing work will be done in
conjunction with the required permits. This is to assure that the land
disturbance activity of this site does not adversely affect the drainage
of surrounding properties.
Finally, there will be no person or businesses to be dislocated by this
project.
E. Alternatives to the Proposed Pr 'e t
I No Project
Linder the status quo alternative, the site could continue in its
residential start . however, it would not address the growing need
for more small r rn e rei a l office space.
Further, given the evolving commercial uses in this area, the
retention of this site in the s-1 5 zoning may not be consistent with
that evolving land use pattern.
2. Alternative Density
Under this alternative, the applicant could seek a more intensive
residential rezoning, such as RS-7.5 or a RM zoning. Those zoning
categories would arguably be just as consistent with the requested
CV-CV-10 zoning, particularly as the CV zoning allows either single or
multiple family residential uses. however, the residential zoning
would limit the applicant to only those uses and not enable to meet
the existing commercial office and future small-scale retail demand.
.
3. Evaluation of Alternatives
The project's impacts to the area's social and physical
infrastructure would not be significant. Mitigative measures in the
form of street frontage improvements will be taken to address any
possible roadway impacts associated by the project. Further, the
project would be consistent with the land use objectives sought to
be accomplished by the County General Plan L PAG map and the
Puna Community Development Plan.
In view of the aforementioned, it would appear that none of the
alternatives would be more prudent and beneficial than the
requested CV-10 CV-10 alternative.

TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIs REPORT
FOR PROPOSED OFFICE & RETAIL AC1SIT `# 41: 3' Y"
PAHOA, PUNA, HAWAII
TMK (3)1-5-014:005
INTRODUCHON
A. Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this report is to assess the impact a 9,000 ft'of office space and 3,840
ft' specialty store would have on the traffic on Old Pahoa Village Road in Pahoa.
This report will address the existing traffic on Old Pahoa Village Road in that area.
B. Location
The proposed project is located on the northeast side of Old Pahoa Village Road
between the Pahoa Post Office to the southeast and Apaa Road to the north. The site
is on TM 3 1- --014:005.
C. Description
The proposed project is 9,000 ft of office space and 3,840 ft'ofspecialty retail. The
access will directly to Old Pahoa Village Road.
Y EmSTING CONDITIONS
A. Site and Lame Use
As stated above the site lies on the northeasterly side of Old Pahoa Village Road,
northwest of the whoa Post Office. The zoning is S-1 . There are some small
fauns in the area. Other zonings in the area are CV-10, RS-1 and -1 a.
B. Traffi e
Manual traffic counts were taken on November 7., 2013 from 6:00 All to 9:00 AM
and from 2:45 PM to 6:00 PM. The peak hours of traffic were determined to be :1
AM - :15 AM in the morning for both intersections, Old Pahoa Village load and
Kaul ale Street and Old Pahoa Village Road and Apaa Road. The afternoon peak
hour was 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM for the intersection of Old Pahoa Village Road and
l auhale Street and 3:15 PM to 4:15 PM for the intersection of Old Pahoa Village
Fad and Apaa Road. It should be noted that even though the peak Phi traffic was
Page 1 of
for the time noted above, the traffic volumes are nearly constant for the next hour.
Therefore in reality,the peak for the PM could occur at any time over a two and one-
half lour period depending on the day and the conditions. The following is a
breakdown on these counts.

' sans to Section 25-2-46 (Concurrency Requirements), Hawaii County Code,,
traffic impact analysis report(TIA is required for submittal with a change of zone
action that can generate 50 or more peals hour trips. This project will generate 30
AM peak hour trips and 19 PM peals hour trips. Therefore traffic will be assessed for
the existing condition, buildout condition and five-year condition.
TRIP GENERATION
A. Methodology
The trip generation methodology used for this report is based,upon applications
developed by the Institute of Transportation Engineers IT published in
Generation, "Edition,2010. Since this is an office complex and specialty store,the
ITE land use codes are 7 10 and 8 14. The following table reflects the trip generations.

B. Trip D s r u
Trip distribution is based upon the north/south movement of traffic along Old S a o
Village Road. During the AM peak hour, 55% of the traffic is southbound on Old
Pahoa Village toad and 45% is . r o a . Dufing the PM peak dour, it is %
northbound and 52%southbound on old Pa oa Village Road. The follova'ng table
shows this relationship.

Iv. TRAFFI ESSMENT
Highway capacity analysis was performed in accordance with the Hi, w?j .0 paci jy Manual,
Special Report 209.2"Edition of the Transportation Research Board� and the Highway
Capacity software from the Federal Highway Administration and McTrans, University of
Florida, Gainesville, FL,for unsignali ed intersections. The methodology for unsign li ed
intersections calculates the levels of service for individual approaches and the intersection
as a whole based upon the average stopped delay per vehicle.
Level of service is defined as"a qualitative measure describing operational conditions within
a traffic stream; generally described in terms of such factors as speed and travel time,
freedom to maneuver,traffi c interruptions,comfort and conve i ence,and safety." There are
six levels of operational conditions defined as follows:
Level of Service A Little or no traffic delays
Level of Service B Short traffic delays
Level of Service C Average traffic delays
Level of Service D Long traffic delays
Level of Service E very long traffic delays
Level of Service F Extreme traffic delays
Page 4 of
It should be noted that traffic improvements should be considered for level of service
"F"' condition.
Level of service calculations are tabulated herein for both AM and PM peaks for existing-and
the post development condition.

V. DISCUSSION
This report sbows the relationship between the existing conditions at the two intersections
and the affects this project will have on the area. Bevel of service calculations were
performed for the existing conditions at the intersections. Trip generation calculations and
movement distributions were performed for the project. Project trips were distributed in
proportion to the direction of travel at the site for the times of day, All and PM. The
additional traffic was then apportioned proportionally to the movements of each of the
intersections.
In addition, for comparison purposes, the volume of traffic was analyzed five years out
(2018) for growth using a growth factor of 2% per year. This factor is based upon
information provided by the Traffic Division of Department of Public Works, County of
Hawaii for the 1ahoa area.
It should be noted that the entrance into the project is located closer to the southern
intersection,and the traffic volumes are relatively low. with this being said,the ingress and
egress to the site can expect gaps in traffic that will tend to mitigate some of the waiting time
for the left ding movements. However,as previously noted,the waiting time is minimal.
V1. CONCLUSION
41
The project has very little impact on the existing conditions in the area. For both
intersections, the levels of service will remain the same for all movements as before the
Project.
In all eases, both intersections and the driveway, the approach level of service remains"B"
with the intersection delays only varying a few seconds. Wherefore it can be expected that
this project will have little, if any, impact on the immediate area and surrounding area.
