Your Committee on Planning,to which was referred Bill No. 26, reports as follows:
Bill No. 26 repeals Ordinance No. 12-128, which amends Section 25-8-23 (Mountain View Zone
Map), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawai`i County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, As
Amended), by changing the district classification from Single-Family Residential— 10,000
square feet(RS-10)to Village Commercial— 10,000 square feet(CV-10) at `Ola`a, Puna,
Hawai`i, covered by Tax Map Key: 1-8-002:064, area: 13,785 square feet.
The bill would revert the property's classification back to its original designation of
Single-Family Residential— 10,000 square feet. The property is located on the northwest corner
of Highway 11 and Nichols Road.
Bill No. 26 is initiated by the Planning Director Zendo Kern. Mr. Kern was called forward and
elaborated that Bill No. 26 is a straightforward request to revert the property back to its original
zoning.
Committee Chair Kierkiewicz noted that property owners explained their reasons for not
developing the property in the background materials and that the rezone is necessary in order to
complete the sale of the property,which is in escrow.
The vote was then taken on the motion to move this measure to Council with a favorable
recommendation and passed with eight"ayes,"and Council Chair Maile David absent and
excused.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 26, and
recommends its passage on first reading.
