Zooming in a little bit closer, we've got the zoning designation for the surrounding area. The subject parcel and much of the surrounding area is designated as Agricultural — 3 acres. There is some Residential and Agricultural — 1 acre and Residential and Agricultural half acre zoning in the surrounding area. Surrounding land uses include a County park; another church to the west of the subject parcel; vacant lands to the east of the subject parcel; and, again, some single-family dwellings around the rest of the area. The State Land Use designates the subject parcel and surrounding areas to the north as Urban, and to the South as Agricultural as indicated in the green. The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates the subject parcel and much of the surrounding area as Low Density Urban and some Important Agricultural Lands, again, indicated in green to the south. Here are some aerial photographs of the subject parcel and surrounding area. On the left, I just wanted to show, again, some of the surrounding land uses. Outlined in yellow is the subject parcel. Again, to the west is Tenrikyo Hilo Church. To the south of the subject parcel is the Malama, the County's Malama Park, and then, again, we've got the vacant uses here to the east of the subject parcel and surrounding single-family dwelling uses. On the right-hand side a little bit zoomed in, you'll see the subject parcel again outlined in yellow. There's an existing single-family dwelling on the parcel and an existing 4,800 -square foot church building and associated parking areas for the uses. On the north side here pardon me, on the east side of the, of the parcel is vegetation that has actually since been removed. This is, again, a Google Earth photo, so it's not the most up to date. And, here, between the subject parcel and the church on the left is showing some landscaping as mitigation for noise and visual issues. Not shown again on this picture is a roughly 10,000 -square foot catchment tank that's used for fire mitigation. And, moving on, the Applicant is requesting to amend Condition No. 2 of their Use Permit to remove the requirement for a 50 -foot minimum building setback from all property lines. Removing the setback requirement will accommodate the construction of five 400 -square foot accessory structures on the north side of the subject property which will conform to the 20 -foot side yard building setback and the 30 -foot front and rear yard setbacks as prescribed by the Agricultural — 3a zoning designation. The proposed structure closest to Lama Street will be a pavilion. The next structure as proposed is a storage area, storage structure. And, the other three proposed structures will be used as additional classroom and meeting space. 2 EXHIBIT B
