outline that is on the south side of Milo Street. For reference, again, we have the Keaʽau-Pāhoa Bypass Road on the left side of the map running in a north-south direction. The colors on the map—the dark green represents Agricultural – 20 acres which the subject property is currently zoned. The purple represents Commercial Industrial Mixed \[sic\] or MCX zoning. The light gray represents Limited Industrial. We have two properties that are Limited Industrial in the area. In fact, three properties. And, the lighter green represents Agricultural – 5 acres. This is our State Land Use Boundary Map. The green represents Agricultural, and the pink represents Urban. And, this is our General Plan. Just recently, you might recall that the General Plan was amended in this particular area. More specifically, the orange area, which is identified as Medium Density Urban, was switched from Low Density Urban to Medium Density. The gray represents Industrial. The interpretation up to this point has been to bring the Industrial up to the highway as represented, represented with the previous rezones in the area. This is an aerial photo. Again, for reference, we have the Keaʽau-Pāhoa Bypass Road. Milo Street, the subject property, is identified in a red outline. Currently, there is a warehouse that is constructed on the subject property. Prior—back in 1988—the Applicants did receive a Special Permit, Special Permit No. 671, which was to allow the processing and packing facility for anthuriums and other flowers and foliage. The Applicant is requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to an Urban District and a Change of Zone from Agricultural – 20 acres to a Limited Industrial – 20,000 square feet, ML-20, zoning district for approximately 2.082 acres of land. The objective is that the owners believe that there is a much broader demand for other non- agricultural uses of the facility that may include service-type Light Industrial service or uses such as self-storage facilities, contractor baseyards, small business storage and warehousing, and among others. This is the Applicant’s site plan that was submitted. For reference, we have Milo Street running in an east-west direction, and the subject property identified in this general location. These are some site photos. This is on Keaʽau-Pāhoa Bypass looking towards Keaʽau Town Center which would be in this location. Milo Street is on your right. This is a channelized intersection. This is at the intersection looking towards down Milo Street. Just for reference, on the left side would be the credit union that was built previously, and we have Greenhouse Specialists on the right side. 2 EXHIBIT A
