This is a closer view. For reference, we have Kaloli Drive running in a somewhat of a north- <br />rd <br />south direction and we have 23 Avenue or Naupaka Avenue. The subject application is located <br />on the corner of these two roads. Again, for reference the colors represent zoning. We have <br />Agricultural - 1 acre for the light green. Dark green represents Open zoning. The General Plan <br />Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map for this area is Rural, and we also have the Medium <br />ththth <br />Density Urban node that we referred to earlier, that’s located along 24, 25, and 26. So this is <br />right in that general area. The Puna Community Development Plan also identifies what they call <br />the Hawaiian Paradise Park Regional Town Center area, and this application is located right on <br />that corner there, so it’s in that area set aside for the Regional Town Center for Paradise Park. <br /> <br />rd <br />This is an aerial photo. For reference, again, we have Kaloli Drive and 23 Avenue with the <br />subject property identified in a black outline. Currently, there are two existing single-family <br />dwellings constructed on the property. This is a little closer view so you can see the current <br />landscaping that is on the property, as well as the accesses that are being utilized at this time. <br />The actual church is being proposed in this structure. This structure would be used as a <br />rd <br />parsonage for the church pastor. So currently, access is from Kaloli for the church and from 23 <br />for the dwelling. <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting a Special Permit to allow the establishment of a church and related <br />improvements and activities within two existing structures situated on approximately one acre of <br />land in the Hawaiian Park--Paradise Park Subdivision. One dwelling will be used for the <br />parsonage for the church’s pastor. The other dwelling will be used for the sanctuary for services <br />which will include two classrooms for Sunday school, Bible study and prayer, and an office. <br />The church activities will also include special seasonal events and community outreach <br />programs. <br /> <br />This is the submitted site plan within the application. For reference, on the lower portion of the <br />rd <br />map we have Kaloli Drive. On the right side of the map, we have 23 Avenue or Naupaka Street. <br />Again, we have access from Naupaka for the dwelling, and access is shown on Kaloli for the <br />church. This is a representation of what the proposed parking might look like on the property. <br /> <br />A condition to mention--so there has been a concern--the Planning Department received a letter <br />from the Paradise Park Community Association, and they asked that access not be allowed off <br />Kaloli Drive. There are, they in the letter, they talk about certain grandfathered uses, but because <br />this use is changing from a dwelling to a church, that they would not consider this to be <br />rd <br />grandfathered. And so they’re asking that access be from 23 and prohibited from Kaloli Drive. <br />We have reflected that within our conditions. Condition 3 states the entrance to the subject <br />rd <br />property shall be from 23 Avenue. Direct access to the subject property from Kaloli Drive shall <br />be prohibited. We have received a response to the Association’s letter from the applicant’s <br />representative identified as Planning Department Exhibit 10. <br /> <br />rd <br />These are site photos. This is on 23 looking mauka on Kaloli, so the actual Kaloli access is <br />right in this general location. So you can see the heavy landscaping that’s in place already, as <br />well as the sign and the entrance area. This is a little closer so it shows the access and sign.
