in red, is in the Lalamilo Farm Lot Subdivision to the west of Waimea Town. The subject parcel is directly adjacent to parcels zoned Agricultural. Again, here is the subject parcel. For your reference Māmalahoa Highway is running generally north-south through the slide, Lalamilo Farm Lots Road is generally running east-west. The parcel and surrounding parcels are all zoned Agricultural-5 acres, which is indicated by the light green. Surrounding properties, for instance directly to the north, the darker green is Agricultural-1 acre lots. Across Māmalahoa Highway is the Parker Ranch race track, indicated in the blue color as Agricultural-40 acre zoning. To the north of the subject parcel, zoned Residential, is the Lualai residential subdivision. The State designates the subject parcel and surrounding areas as Agricultural State Land Use Designation, again, that’s in green. To the right here we see, more closer to Waimea Town is Urban indicated in red. The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates the subject parcel and surrounding areas as Important Agricultural Lands, and again you’ve got Low Density Urban moving more toward Waimea Town. This is an aerial photograph of the subject parcel again outlined in red. This shows also the Lalamilo Farm Lot Subdivision, so I wanted to give you an idea of where this is relative to the rest of the subdivision. Zooming in we’ve got two aerial photographs. On the left outlined in red is the entire five-acre parcel. As you can see, as indicated in the Background and Recommendation report, there are 16 greenhouses on the property. There is an existing single-family dwelling here in the lower left hand corner. The project area, which is roughly a half an acre, is outlined here in yellow. And if you go to the right a little bit, this is just a blown-up image of that. We’ve got the original vegetable processing facility here with the solar panels on top. There are roughly 2,500 square feet of unpermitted additions, which are indicated in the, with the green roofs here behind the building somewhat. The refrigerated truck parking area is right here on the western portion of the property. And some of the other uses, most of the other uses take place, proposed uses take place inside the structure, and I’ll get into that when I show you the site plan. Special Permit No. 378 was originally approved on February 1, 1978 by the State Land Use Commission to allow the establishment of a vegetable processing facility. On January 20, 2006, the Planning Commission approved an amendment to Special Permit No. 378 to allow the processing of ice cream products within a portion of the original 7,875-square foot structure. Over time, the uses requested in the Special Permit amendment were established in the remainder of the original structure as well as the unpermitted additions and surrounding areas for refrigerated box truck and fitness center parking use. The Planning Department issued warning letters on August stst 1 and August 21, 2014, requiring the applicant cease unpermitted uses or submit an amendment to Special Permit 378 to cover the unpermitted uses as corrective action. On March 19, 2015, the Leeward Planning Commission held a hearing on the subject Special Permit amendment. At the meeting the Commission granted contested case standing to eight intervenors. The Commission thth also voted to hire a hearings officer for the contested case. On November 19 and 20, 2015, the contested case proceedings were undertaken in Honoka‘a before Hearings Officer Sherry Broder. rd On March 23 of this year, the applicant, intervenors and Planning Department reached a settlement agreement, which suspended the contested case hearing pending approval of the Special Permit amendment with stipulated conditions by the Leeward Planning Commission. 2 EXHIBIT F
