2018-02-01 Hearing Transcript - HI Brewery SPP 842

Home

Permit area actually consists of four lots. One of them is zoned Agricultural – 5 acres, which is shown in the light green, and the other three are zoned Family Agricultural – 2 acres. Surrounding zoning to the north is General Industrial – 20,000 square feet, and then around there is primarily Agricultural – 20 acres which is shown in the dark green color. Okay, there we go. The Applicant is requesting an amendment for a five-year time extension to comply with Condition 4, and that is to complete construction of Special Permit No. 842. Special Permit No. 842 was granted in 1993 to allow the development of a brewery and bottling facility on a little over 14 acres of land in the State Land Use Agricultural District. The Applicant requests the additional time to find suitable operators of the various components of the project. And, so, this is the language that the Applicant is proposing for Condition No. 4. It says the the new language is underlined and language to be deleted is struck through. So, the new condition would be construction of the proposed brewery, distillery, or bottling facility and related improvements on one of the lots covered by TMK: 1-6-141:24, 27 & 28 shall be completed and a certificate of occupancy issued before October 18, 2023. Further construction on the second lot shall be completed and a certificate of occupancy issued within five years of completion of the first lot and then construction on the third or last lot shall be completed and certificate of occupancy issued within five years of completion of the second lot. So, this would allow for up to 15 years for all three lots to be developed. This is the approved subdivision plat for the property. The properties were recently subdivided into four lots, and—cops, let me go back here. So, this lot here, and you'll see this in the aerial image, it has an existing water bottling facility on it. And, these three lots below are vacant. I believe it's this middle lot here that's square shaped that was recently sold. The General Plan LUPAG Map for the area has changed since the Special Permit was originally granted. Currently, the properties are in Medium Density Urban, and right next to an Industrial node, this area that's shown in orange, Medium Density Urban, used to be Low Density Urban. When the permit was granted in 1993, the properties were determined by the Director at that time to be within the Industrial General Plan area because the LUPAG Map is not parcel specific, so the Director can interpret it to expand or contract. And, the subject properties are in the State Land Use Agricultural District, which is shown in the light green. The property just to the north which was recently rezoned is in the Urban District, which is shown in the pink. This is an aerial photo of the property. Again, here is the existing bottling facility that was transitioned to a bottling facility after the Special Permit was granted, and then you can see the three vacant lots here. And, this is a photo of the access road. So, the Special Permit, as well as the rezone ordinance for the property to the north do have conditions that required the paving of this access road, and so that was done, and you can see that. Sorry, I'm having a hard time with the clicker. Okay, so this is looking towards that bottling facility which is located in the background here. So, the EXHIBIT A 2
