Agricultural 1-acre, across Māmalahoa Highway in this blue color is the Parker Ranch race track
<br />and that’s again Agricultural 40-acre zoning. And finally, to the north of that is the Luala‘i
<br />residential subdivision zoned RS, pardon me, Residential with a minimum lot size of 7,500 square
<br />feet. The subject parcel is designated Urban by the State Land Use Commission and, pardon me,
<br />Agricultural, and that’s shown here in the green, and to the right here is, getting closer to Waimea
<br />Town, and that’s designated as Urban. Our General Plan LUPAG Map shows the subject parcel as
<br />Important Agricultural Lands, to the east is Low Density Urban, and then to the north of the parcel
<br />showing as Urban Expansion.
<br />
<br />Here is an aerial photograph of the subject parcel and surrounding area. Again maybe a little
<br />difficult to see, but the subject parcel is here outlined in red. I just wanted to show you proximity to
<br />the Lalamilo Farm Lots and again Waimea Town here to the northeast. Zooming in a little bit, to
<br />the left you’ll see the larger five-acre parcel, I just wanted to show a little bit that there are about 16
<br />greenhouses on the parcel, an existing single-family dwelling and this main structure here outlined
<br />in yellow. Then further zoomed in is the approximate permit area, and we’ll get into that a little bit
<br />more with subsequent slides.
<br />
<br />To give you a brief history of Special Permit 378, it was initially approved in February of 1978 by
<br />the State Land Use Commission to allow the establishment of a vegetable processing facility. On
<br />January 20, 2006, the Planning Commission approved an amendment to the Special Permit,
<br />allowing the processing of ice cream products within a portion of the original 7,875-square foot
<br />structure. Over time, the uses that are being requested through this amendment were established in
<br />the remainder of the original structure, as well as in additional unpermitted structures attached to the
<br />main structure and surrounding areas for refrigerated truck parking and fitness center parking use.
<br />The Planning Department issued warning letters, August 1, 2014 and August 21, 2014, requiring the
<br />applicant cease, either cease unpermitted uses or submit an amendment to the Special Permit 378 to
<br />cover the unpermitted uses as corrective action.
<br />
<br />So in terms of the applicant’s request, they are requesting an amendment to the Special Permit to
<br />legitimize and retain the following uses on approximately a half acre of the larger five-acre parcel:
<br />That’s a fitness center and associated parking area; a refrigerated box truck parking area; a bakery; a
<br />honey storage and distribution facility; a butter processing, storage and distribution facility; and a
<br />limited retail sales area.
<br />
<br />This next slide shows the applicant’s site plan. Again, on the left the larger parcel, and zoomed in
<br />here on the right the approximate, in red, permit area. You’ll see here most of the requested uses
<br />are going to be within that existing structure, which is outlined here in a diagonal hatching, and
<br />again, without the hatching, here shows some of those additions to the structure that are unpermitted
<br />additions. We are showing here on the outside, or I guess we’ll start here, the fitness center is going
<br />to be roughly 1,900 square feet within these different areas within the structure and the additions,
<br />the bakery area roughly 800 square feet, butter production is going to be about 100 square feet here,
<br />and then the honey production about 1,000 square feet. It should be pointed out that the bakery area
<br />also includes outside, the actual baking portion, so the ovens, both wood fire and electric, are
<br />outside of the main structure. Also, the, not shown on here, but the limited retail sales area is right
<br />here roughly in the front corner of the building. The fitness center parking area is shown here. The
<br />application didn’t indicate how large it would be but it did indicate they could accommodate
<br />roughly 20 vehicles. Another what’s being called Meadow Gold Truck Parking Area here is about
<br />2,200 square feet, and that’s kind of along the fence line. Some things that aren’t on the site plan
