Home

For reference, moving in a north-south direction, we have the Keaʽau-Pāhoa Road or Highway 130. The subject properties are identified with a black outline. This is a closer view. This illustrates our County zoning for the area. The lighter green represents Agricultural – 1 acre, and these, majority of the properties within Paradise Park are one acre in size. The darker green represents Open zoning. There are several parcels within Hawaiian Paradise Park that are approximately 20 acres in size that were set aside for community purposes, that are zoned Open. This one’s just in that vicinity. This is our General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map. It identifies the subject parcel and surrounding areas as Rural, and you’ll notice the orange coloring that identifies Medium Density Urban. So, this is one of our Medium Density Urban nodes that was approved in Paradise Park which is also consistent with the location for the Village Center in the Puna Community Development Plan. So, the subject property would be right within that, that Village Center area. This is an aerial photo. For reference, we have Kaloli Drive running in a north-south direction. The, original subject property with the church is, is on the upper portion of the map, and the request for the amendment to add the lower parcel is identified on the lower parcel--mainly for access purposes is the request. The applicant is requesting an amendment to Special Permit No. 14-163 to include an adjoining th one-acre parcel, Parcel 124, as part of the permit area to accommodate a new access from 24 Avenue. This will allow for termination of access from Kaloli Drive as required by the existing Condition No. 3. Special Permit No. 14-163 was originally approved by the Windward Planning Commission on June 5, 2014, to allow the establishment of a church and related improvements and activities within two existing structures situated on approximately one acre of land in the Hawaiian Paradise Park Subdivision. The project is known as the “Paradise Park Baptist Church.” Condition, currently Condition No. 3 states, “The entrance to the subject property shall be from rd 23 Avenue. Direct access to the subject property from Kaloli Drive shall be prohibited after one \[(1)\] year from the effective date of the Special Permit, at which time the applicant will need to appear before the Planning Commission for an amendment.” And, so this is in compliance with Condition 3. For reference, this is the original site plan. The adjoining parcel would be on the left side which rd is now part of this map. But, for reference, we have Kaloli Drive, and we have 23 Avenue on the right side of the map. The existing church is on the left side of the parcel, and currently, they have been accessing from Kaloli Drive in this general area. This is now chained off, and they th will be providing access from 24 on the adjoining parcel to the subject property. 2 EXHIBIT B
