This is the location of the Hilo, I mean the doctors' offices along Komohana, and along Ponahawai Street, we've had a number of Commercial rezonings in the recent past. This is the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map. Again, for reference, we have Waianuenue Avenue running in an east -west direction which breaks off at Kaumana. The subject property is identified with a black outline right at the junction between Waianuenue and Kaumana. This is identified as an area for Medium Density Urban which allows for Commercial uses as well as apartments or dwellings up to 35 units per acre. This is an aerial photo of the area. Again, we have Waianuenue Avenue, with the split with Kaumana Drive. The subject property identified with a black outline. For reference, there are a number of single-family dwellings in the area. We do have existing Commercial zoning in this area as well as a 7-11 Store along Kaumana. The Applicant is requesting a Change of Zone from Single -Family Residential – 7,500 square feet, RS -7.5, to a Neighborhood Commercial – 10,000 square feet or CN -10 zoning district for approximately 11,642 square feet. The Applicant is proposing to construct a two-story office building with approximately 4,056 square feet of office space and 16 parking stalls, spaces. The design will have two buildings attached by an elevated walkway. The design concept is similar to a single-family dwelling with a detached garage connected by a covered walkway. Additionally, the new buildings will have a residential, plantation -style appearance. The Applicant is proposing a right -turn in from Kaumana Drive, and a right -turn out onto Waianuenue Avenue to address the potential traffic impacts, with the possibility of a right -turn in from Waianuenue Avenue as well. There will be no left turns in or out of the property. This is the Applicant's site plan that was submitted. This is the ground level. For reference, we have Kaumana Drive on the right side of the map. So, if you were travelling mauka, you would turn in on the right turn onto, off of Kaumana, and then right out onto Waianuenue Avenue. Again, this shows the parking layout as well as the office space on the ground level. This is the second floor level. Again, for reference, Kaumana Drive on the right side. We have on the second floor mainly office, as well as some storage. These are some site photos of the area. This is on Waianuenue Avenue looking directly at the subject property. This is on the junction right at the stoplight looking at the subject property head on. Kaumana—cops, I'm sorry—Kaumana would be on your left, and Waianuenue would be on your right. This is on Waianuenue Avenue. The subject property again is directly in front of us. This is also the same location just looking a little bit more to the left where the actual signal is. One more time, we have the subject property on the left looking at Waianuenue Avenue. And then, this is fronting the subject property looking makai on Waianuenue Avenue. EXHIBIT B 2
