indicated in the green color. Other surrounding zonings are Agricultural-3 acres indicated in blue and Agricultural-20 acres here to the south indicated in the darker green. The State Land Use designated, the State Land Use Boundary Map designates the parcel as Agricultural. And the County’s General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates the parcel as Medium Density Urban as indicated in the mustard color. There are some Important Agricultural Lands to the east and to the south section of Urban Expansion Lands as indicated with the black hatching. The Kona CDP designates the subject parcel within the Kona CDP Urban Area as indicated by this red outline. Here is an aerial photograph of the subject parcel. Again, for reference we’ve got Hawai‘i Belt Road running makai of the parcel, Onaona Road running here generally east-west, and Old Māmalahoa Highway running north-south. The clinic and the extension to the clinic through the original Special Permit and the first amendment are generally in this area here. There is an existing, the main structure is an existing single-family dwelling where the owners are currently residing. Access is off of Old Māmalahoa Highway through a driveway here. There is a paved parking area right here in front of the clinic; it’s got six paved parking stalls. There is an unpaved parking area here to the south of the parcel and this is where most of the employees park; the paved parking area is designated for clinic clients. So, this is, again, an amendment to Special Permit No. 780, which was approved on July 2, 1991. It was to establish an office and outpatient clinic in support of a mobile veterinary service on 1.64 acres of land. In July of 1991, they were granted Final Plan Approval for the establishment of the clinic and office. On September 17, 1991, Building Permit No. 916201 was issued for the construction of a dwelling and attached veterinary clinic. And the first amendment to this permit was August 14, 2009, and that was to expand the number of permitted clinic staff from three, which was originally approved in the Special Permit, to eight staff, and to increase the permitted size of the clinic from 900 square feet to 1,700 square feet of gross floor area, and that was done by converting a portion of the single-family dwelling into office space and additional clinic space. The applicants for the second amendment are requesting an amendment to Condition 4 to increase the staff size from eight to a total of twelve full and part time staff members. They are also asking to amend Condition No. 5 to increase the office and clinic size from 1,700 square feet to 3,177 square feet by converting an existing three-bedroom dwelling for increased office space, a break room for staff, storage and a consultation room. The applicants are requesting these changes to keep up with the growing demand for veterinary services in the Kona region. Here is the applicant’s submitted site plan. Again, for reference we’ve got Hawai‘i Belt Road running east-west of the slide at the bottom, Onaona Road running north-south, and Old Māmalahoa Highway running parallel. The access again is off of Old Māmalahoa Highway. The site plan is showing the paved parking area here with six paved stalls. The existing clinic space is roughly this area, and this is the existing remainder of single-family dwelling area. Not shown apparently on here but showing to the south of the parcel here is where the unpaved employee parking area is. 2 EXHIBIT C
