Home

Here's the location map. As you can see, this parcel is located off of Manono Street here in the South Hilo District. It is bounded to the north by Hualani Street and to the south by Kekuanao`a Street. It's about pretty much in the center of Manono Street there, you can see on the map. At this time, the Applicant is requesting an amendment to the Change of Zone Ordinance for a five-year time extension (1) to complete the required off-site infrastructure improvements, (2) is to complete the future road widening dedication, and (3) is to allow for the construction of a new commercial structure, and then finally [4] to allow for an additional administrative time extension. So, those are the four amendments today. The reasons for the request. There's been a change of ownership. The new Applicant, or the Applicant is actually, was the previous owner and now there is a new ownerNakoamana Kaialii Ventures, LLC is the new landowner, but Makalika is still pursuing the application on behalf of that landowner. They've elected to secure the proposed amendment prior to any planned design and that's key. There's no plan being presented today for any proposed structure. It's kind of they're waiting to see to ensure that they have the ability to develop before they proceed with a planned design. And, then the permitting and regulatory requirements, they exceeded the Applicant's projected timetable; hence, the need for the five-year time extension. And, then, oops sorry, and then finally, they are unable to secure the proper financing until they can kind of get this amendment through and then pursue that development. Here we can see the zoning map for the site. The parcel itself is zoned Commercial, CN -20, surrounded predominantly by Residential, RS -10, with a couple of other smaller segments here, V-.75 and this is the CG -20. Take note of these Commercial, CN -10's, are separate. The rest of the, the colors are similar so I marked it, sorry, but the rest of these are CN -20, with the remainder as I said being Residential. It's pretty straight up. State Land Use District is Urban, and the surrounding area is predominantly Urban. Okay, the General Plan, the LUPAG Map, shows the parcel itself is Medium Density Urban with some small pockets or pockets of High Density Urban zoning in this area. Here's an aerial photograph of the site. As you can see, it's already developed. There's currently a commercial structure there called Kilauea Kreations in operation since 2007. Just immediately to the south is a flooring carpet center/warehouse, and across the street, you can see the large Manono Market Place already in operation. Take note of some of the residential units here to the north and, you know, adjacent to the property to the west as well as some other residential here, but the area is turning into a commercial kind of area.
