is the future community center. And, then there will be another access all the way up to the top out towards Ululani Street. And, then I have some close-up views of the various project components. So, this is a zoomed in view of the veterans' center, community-based, outpatient clinic. You see that Kawili Street on the bottom, the entrance into and then like a loop driveway out of the site with the parking on the left side. The—it will be one structure. There will be a waiting room, quite a few exam rooms in this location here, a conference room, restrooms, break room, and then on the bottom of the slide are the offices associated with the veterans' center. This is a view of the proposed community center, and so you have a patio area that kind of separates two structures. One will have a multi-purpose room and a kitchen facility. There will be restrooms, some storage and office building or office rooms, and then the other side is like a gathering area that will have a TV, computer, some tables, and then a little fitness center in this location here. And, then the nextoh, I'm sorry, I thought I had a close-up view of the affordable housing, but I don't. So, the County zoning for the property is Multi[ple]-Family Residential – 1,000 square feet. That's shown in the brown. As I mentioned earlier, the University is located just across Kapi`olani Street to the west which is shown in the purple. And, then you have a mix of Single - Family zoning which is shown in the yellow further to the east across Kino`ole Street. To the south is the Waiakea School campus. And, the General Plan designation of the property is High Density Urban, which allows high density residential single-family and multi -family residential use as well as community uses. This is an aerial view of the photo [sic]. Again, you have Kapi`olani Street on the west side; Kawili Street on the south side. That one driveway entrance would be generally located I believe in this area here. Another entrance off of Kapi`olani Street in this location, and then a connection to Ululani Street on the north end. The property is currently vacant. This is a view of the property looking towards the UH Campus, so towards the west; and the property is on this side here with the big tree. And, a view looking the other way. The truck is parked in that existing driveway entrance. This is a view of Kapi`olani Street, so the University would be just off the slide here, and then the subject property is located on the left side. The Planning Director is recommending a favorable recommendation for the time extension request and an unfavorable recommendation to amend Condition B and F, and I'll explain that briefly. So, we did get a comment letter back from Department of Water Supply and Department of Public Works regarding Condition B and F. So, the way Condition B works is our Zoning Code concurrency requirements say that anytime you apply for a Change of Zone or a time extension to a Change of Zone, we have to ensure that water is available to support that zoning change, and that requires that the Applicant secure water commitments from Water Supply. We've received a letter from Water Supply saying that because commitments haven't been secured for the affordable housing project, that there is no guarantee that water can be made available until they secure those commitments.
