will provide 41 paved parking spaces in a parking lot including one ADA parking stall to meet the County Code parking requirements. Hours of operation for the outreach center are proposed to be seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. While the Applicant does not anticipate the outreach center being open during the entirety of the proposed hours of operation, the requested time frame will allow the Applicant greater flexibility to schedule their outreach programs in a way that will maximize their effectiveness. Clergy, church members, and other volunteers will staff the outreach center programs, and finally, the site and infrastructure work will commence shortly after the appropriate permit approvals are secured. Construction of the structure and related improvements should begin within two years and be complete within five years as funding becomes available. The Applicant estimates the entire project to cost approximately $500,000. The reason for the request is the existing Kurtistown Assembly of God Church is located adjacent to the subject parcel and has been in operation as a church since 1956. They have been offering outreach and community services; however, their existing church facility lacks the space and improvements necessary to offer the services, proposed community services. While the proposed outreach center is considered auxiliary to the existing church use, religious services will not be offered at the outreach center. The County zoning for the subject parcel and much of the surrounding area is Single -Family Residential — 20,000 square feet. Again, just for reference, we've got Volcano Highway running generally north -south through the slide. To the west of the subject parcel is some Agricultural zoning and also to the north of the subject parcel, Agricultural zoning indicated in the green and the blue color. The State Land Use designation for the subject parcel is Urban as indicated in red, and there is some Agricultural designations in the vicinity as well. The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates the subject parcel and much of the surrounding area as Urban Expansion. There is some Low Density Urban to the east as indicated in the mustard color and some Important Agricultural Lands across the highway to the south. Here's an aerial photograph of the subject parcel and some of the surrounding area. The subject parcel is outlined here in blue. The existing church is adjacent to the west of the parcel. As you can see, it's currently vegetated, and there are no structures on the parcel. Here is the Applicant's submitted site plan. Volcano Highway is running generally north -south on the left-hand side of the slide. The upper image is the location of the proposed outreach center in relationship to the larger parcel. On the bottom it's blown up and shows the proposed parking lot and proposed facility farther toward the middle of the parcel. EXHIBIT D 2
