This is a closer view. Again, for reference, we have the Hawai‘i Belt Highway or Māmalahoa
<br />Highway running through the middle of the map, and we have the subject properties identified in
<br />a black outline. Access will be from the highway onto Lehua Lane. It intersects with Keaka
<br />Parkway.
<br />
<br />This is the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map for the area. Just to give you
<br />an idea of the, the darker orange color represents Rural. The hatched shaded area represents
<br />Urban Expansion, and the white area on the bottom represents Extensive Agriculture. Planning
<br />Director, Chris Yuen, when this application first had come before, come into the Planning
<br />Department, had interpreted the General Plan for this particular area, the Urban Expansion, as
<br />also coming across the highway, and including the portions of the properties that abut the
<br />highway, as long as they were within the same area that is being affected by Ranchos. And so,
<br />this particular area, he represented, the, as being within the Urban Expansion area. The General
<br />Plan is a broad brush interpretation which means that it’s not site specific, but that it has a broad
<br />brush interpretation. As far as what that distance is, it’s given up to interpretation, but in this
<br />particular case, he did include the properties that come across the highway.
<br />
<br />Let me back up here just a little bit. I wanted to bring to your attention this purple area right
<br />here. This is the first Change of Zone that had come in for this particular area. We’ll go into it a
<br />little bit more detail on that, but I wanted to just bring to that, your attention. This is MCX or
<br />Commercial Light Industrial zoning which came in, in 2011, and was approved through County
<br />Council. So, this is generally, its right in this general location over here.
<br />
<br />This is an aerial photo, so this shows you the current uses that are occurring in the area. Again,
<br />for reference, we have the Hawai‘i Belt Highway. The subject property identified with a black
<br />outline. You’ll notice the different shopping centers in the area. We have the Kamagaki Store,
<br />the Hawai‘i, the Ocean View Town Center as well as the Malama Market area that’s located in
<br />Ranchos. So, these are all in this general area—the kind of the central of Ocean View and
<br />Ranchos Subdivision. Lot of activity happens in this particular area.
<br />
<br />The applicant is requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from the Agricultural to the
<br />Urban District for 4.143 acres and a Change of Zone from the Agricultural – 1 acre to
<br />Commercial, or Village Commercial – 40,000 square feet zoned district for 4.143 acres. The
<br />applicant is proposing to develop a 54,000 square foot commercial center with an additional
<br />12,500 feet of an open landscaped area to be used for periodic craft fairs, thespian events, and
<br />public gatherings. The project will be constructed utilizing LEED certified design standards.
<br />
<br />The project conceptually includes two, three-story structures, each approximately 27,150 square
<br />feet in size which includes anchor tenants along with day care, tourist driven retail
<br />establishments, and an acute care facility on the ground floor. Medical and professional offices
<br />would occupy the upper levels. Two hundred and thirty parking stalls including, handicapped
<br />and loading stalls, on permeable paved surfaces, and a private water system that supports the
<br />public health and safety needs of the project such as sanitation and fire fighting, sewage
<br />treatment plan, and landscaping.
