For reference, we've got Hawaii Belt Road or Highway 19 running generally east -west through the slide. Also, Mauna Loa Street running generally north -south, and Old Mamalahoa Highway running parallel to Hawaii Belt Road generally running east -west as well. Tex Drive Inn commercial center is located directly makai across Highway 19 from the subject parcel. Zooming in a little bit closer, again, outlined in red here is the subject parcel. The different colors on the map indicate different zoning designations. The subject parcel and areas mauka of that are identified as Agricultural – 40 acres. To the west and east are Residential – 10,000 square feet, and, again, as I noted across Highway 19 makai of the parcel is Village Commercial – 7.5. And, again, that's where Tex's Drive Inn is located. The State Land Use Boundary Map designates the subject parcel as Urban as indicated in red. Further makai is also Urban, and that's kind of more consistent with the, with the town core of Honoka`a. Mauka of the subject parcel is designated Agricultural, and that's designated in the green color. Our General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates the subject parcel as Low Density Urban, and much of the surrounding area as indicated in the mustard color. Again, makai of that is Medium Density Urban indicated in orange and, again, more consistent with the town core for Honoka`a. Here's an aerial photograph of the subject parcel. Again, for reference, we've got Highway 19, Hawaii Belt Road, running east -west. Mauna Loa Street running north -south, and Old Mamalahoa Highway, again, running parallel generally east -west. Subject parcel's outlined in red. Some items of note. There are currently two driveway accesses—one more makai and one more mauka on the parcel. The existing single-family dwelling here is being proposed to be converted into a chapel, a church. There are some other structures on the parcel difficult to see here, but there is a gazebo associated with the church, an agricultural structure here makai of the, the building. The Applicant is proposing all parking on site with a larger parking area roughly around this area makai of the dwelling. And, there will also be handicapped parking more adjacent to the, to the dwelling as is proposed. The Applicant is requesting a Use Permit to allow the conversion of an existing single-family residence into a church along with related improvements and activities on four acres of land. The renovation and conversion of an existing 3,760 -square foot, single -story residential structure into a 2,500 -square foot chapel with the remaining space to be dedicated to office space, classrooms, and storage. The Applicant is proposing two driveway accesses from Old Mamalahoa Highway with the makai driveway accessing the larger proposed parking area and the mauka driveway accessing the proposed church and handicapped parking spaces.
