The properties are located at 755 Kekuana6`a Street and 605 Kalanikoa Street, at the northeast corner of the Kekuana6`a Street—Kalanikoa Street intersection, Waiakea Houselots South Hilo, Hawaii. The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's recommendation for a favorable consideration of the request: The applicant is requesting to change the zoning district from a Single-Family Residential - 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed District - 20,000 square feet (MCX-20) zoning district for 22,300 square feet of land in order to convert an existing single-family dwelling into an office building to rent out or for private use, and to develop a parking lot and related improvements on the subject parcels. The applicant is requesting the subject change of zone to convert the existing 1,456 square foot single-family dwelling located on TMK: 2-2-035:096 for office use and to construct an accompanying parking area for the office on the adjacent parcel Haivai`z County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii Page 2 (TMK: 2-2-035:049). If the proposed change of zone is granted, the applicant intends to consolidate the subject parcels into a single lot. The applicant is proposing a minimum of six (6) parking stalls plus one (1) handicapped parking stall and intends to install landscaping consistent with Planning Department Rule No. 17 in conjunction with the Plan Approval process. As the property north of the subject site is zoned Single-Family Residential (RS-10) the applicant proposes to install additional landscaping along the common boundary to be in full compliance with landscaping requirements per the zoning code. The applicant intends to finalize the renovation plans and begin construction within one year of being granted the requested Change of Zone. The applicant estimates the cost of this project to be $100,000 including the proposed parking area. Please note that although the applicant is currently proposing to convert the existing dwelling to an office building, any permitted use in the MCX-zoning district can be established on the property should the change of zone request be approved. In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. The Change of Zone request from a Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to the Industrial-Commercial Mixed 20,000 square feet (MCX-20) zoned district will conform to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements. The General Plan is intended to be used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the County. It sets forth goals, policies, standards and courses of action to accommodate growth without congestion, to designate and preserve the lands needed for residential use, commercial and visitor services, industry, agriculture and open space, and to coordinate these uses with the County's service and circulation systems. The overall goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. Land Use is one of the principal focal points of public concern and policy. The Land Use Element provides the primary basis for direct control and guidance of publicly and privately owned resources. The request conforms to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan in that the proposed project will be developed in an area adequately served by necessary services such as water, utilities, sewers and transportation systems. The applicant is requesting an Industrial-Commercial mixed zoning. The proposed project conforms to the i i I I I Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii Page 3 Land Use - Industrial sub-element which states that "Industrial development shall be located in areas adequately served by transportation, utilities and other amenities. " The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide(LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non-urban form for areas within the County. The project area is designated Industrial on the LUPAG Map. This industrial designation includes uses such as manufacturing and processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities, light industrial uses, and industrial-commercial uses, therefore the requested change of zone to an MCX-20 district conforms to the LUPAG Map. The MCX zoning designation was created when the Zoning Code was amended in 1996. In accordance with Section 25-5-130, Hawaii County Zoning Code, this district would allow a mix of light industrial and commercial uses. The intent is to provide for areas of diversified businesses and employment opportunities by permitting a broad range of uses, without exposing non-industrial uses to unsafe and unhealthy environments. Based on the preceding, the proposed MCX zoning would be consistent with the Industrial designation on the LUPAG Map for this area of Hilo. MCX rezonings in the area include: • TMK: 2-2-035:001; 103, Ordinance No. 09 92 effective September 2, 2009, for change of zone from RS-10 to MCX-20. • TMK: 2-2-35: 63, Ordinance No.06 145 effective November 28, 2006 for change of zone from RS-10 to MCX-20. • TMK: 2-2-037: 041, Ordinance No.04 5, effective January 15, 2004 for change of zone from RS-10 to MCX-20. Despite the 1975 Hilo Community Development Plan's suggested residential designation, this area is transitioning to commercial and light industrial uses. Land uses in the immediate area are a mix of commercial, industrial and residential uses. The property is bordered to the north and west by residential properties zoned Single-Family Residential-10,000 square feet (RS-10). The area fronting Kekuanao`a Street is a mix of residential, commercial, and limited industrial including a gas station immediately adjacent and east of the subject site, thus the proposed change of zone would be consistent with the zoning/land uses in the area. I t E Maile David, Council Chair j and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii j Page 4 4 i The subject proposed rezone area consists of two contiguous parcels each consisting of 11,150 square feet for a combined area of 22,300 square feet. In order to meet the minimum building site requirement of the requested MCX-20 zoning (minimum of 20,000 square feet), the two lots will need to be consolidated. Thus, the Director is recommending a condition requiring consolidation of the properties within one (1) year of the effective date of the change of zone ordinance or prior to the issuance of Final Plan Approval, whichever occurs first. Furthermore, the applicant is proposing to convert an existing single-family dwelling into an office building, which will require a change of use building permit. A condition of approval will require that all necessary building permits, including a change of use building permit for the existing single-family dwelling, shall be secured and finalized prior to the commencement of the proposed office use. All utilities and services are available to the site. The project site has frontage along both Kekfianao`a Street and Kalanikoa Street, which are two-lane, paved County roadways. The site is currently accessed via a single driveway to the existing single- family dwelling on Kalanikoa Street. Kekuanao`a Street is currently improved with 30 feet of pavement within a 40- foot-wide right-of-way in this area and is classified as a secondary arterial road by the Hilo Zone Map. Kalanikoa Street is currently improved with 22 feet of pavement within a 50-foot-wide right-of-way and is classified as a collector road with an existing right-of- way width of 50 feet by the Hilo Zone Map. As a collector street, Kalanikoa should have a total 60-foot-wide right-of-way (currently 50 feet), thus the Director is requiring the applicant to subdivide and dedicate a five(5) foot wide road widening strip to the County. As a secondary arterial, Kekflanao`a Street improvements should have a total 80- foot-wide right-of-way (currently 40 feet), which would require the applicant to subdivide and dedicate a 20-foot-wide future road widening strip to the County, however in this case, the Director is recommending a 10-foot-wide future road widening strip be provided to match other MCX and commercial zoning approvals along Kekuanao`a Street. The applicant proposes to access the site via a permitted full-access entry/exit along Kalanikoa Street and a limited (right-in, right-out) access from Kek5anao`a as recommended by the Department of Public Works (DPW). The preceding will be added as a condition of approval. Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii Page 5 DPW recommends the applicant install full improvements to the entire Kalanikoa Street and Kekfianao`a Street frontages consisting of, but not limited to, pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk, drainage improvements, and any required utility relocation within the future road widening setback established by the Planning Department. Additionally, DPW recommends a minimum of 20-foot corner radius (property line) be provided at the intersection of Kekfianao`a Street and Kalanikoa Street and recommends that the applicant install streetlights and traffic control devices as may be required by the DPW - Traffic Division. The preceding will be added as a condition of approval. As the applicant is currently proposing to convert an existing dwelling into an office building, they have requested the DPW roadway improvement requirements outlined above be deferred to when a new structure is built on the property, preferring to integrate the cost of those improvements within the larger development project. The Planning Director is not inclined to support that request as there has been no representation that the applicant ever intends to construct a new building on the property, thus the improvements may never be made. The proposed office use is considered a permitted use in the MCX zoning district. Moreover, these improvements have been required of other landowners in similar rezonings fronting Kekfianao`a Street and are appropriate for this type of zoning in urban Hilo. As such, the Director is recommending the improvements be similarly made prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. While the proposed office use will not generate the 50+peak hour vehicle trips to trigger a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TZAR), a condition of approval will require a TIAR should the applicant develop a future land use that willgenerate over 50 peak hour trips. County water is available to the site via existing 8-inch waterlines within both Kekfianao`a Street and Kalanikoa Street, fronting the subject parcels and there is currently one (1) existing service lateral and one (1) existing 518-inch meter fronting both parcels. DVS will determine the appropriate water commitment deposit, prevailing facilities charge, appropriate service lateral and meter size required once the applicant provides estimated maximum daily water usage calculations, prepared by a licensed engineer, for the proposed industrial-commercial use. The DWS also requires a reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly be installed. The preceding will be added as conditions of approval. Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii Page 6 According to DWS, the 8-inch waterlines within Kekuanao`a Street and Kalanikoa Street are inadequate to provide 2,000 GPM of flow for fire protection, as required per the DWS Water System Standards for Industrial-Commercial Mixed zoning. Any improvements required by the Fire Department and/or Department of Water Supply to ensure that fire protection requirements are met shall be implemented. The preceding will be added as conditions of approval. The subject properties are accessible to the County sewer and the existing dwelling is currently connected to the County's sewer line; therefore no sewer study is required at this time. However, at the time the applicant applies for a change of use permit for the existing structure and/or applies for building permits to construct another structure, the Department of Environmental Management (DEM) may require the applicant to submit wastewater calculations from a certified engineer and the applicant may be required to make sewer improvements as the Director of DEM may reasonably require. Solid waste will be handled by commercial haulers. The project site has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be rectified, or which would render the land unusable. The properties are located within Zone "X", an area determined by FEMA to be an area of minimal flood hazard. All development-generated runoff shall be disposed of on site and shall not be directed toward any adjacent properties, with drainage improvements prescribed by a drainage study approved by DPW. The preceding will be added as conditions of approval. Electricity and telephone services are available to the property. Police, fire and medical services are available nearby in Hilo. The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The project site is located more than one mile from the nearest shoreline and thus is situated outside of the Special Management Area and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the properties. No professional archaeological and cultural study was conducted of the properties as they have been in residential use since 1953. According to the applicant, no valued cultural, historical, or natural resources exist on the properties and there is no evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site nor are there any known historic sites on the property as listed on the State or National Register of Historic Places. By letter dated July 7, 2021, the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) determined that no historic properties would be affected by the proposed rezoning. The standard inadvertent archaeological find condition will be added to this approval recommendation. 3 Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii Page 7 No professional floral or faunal survey was conducted of the properties due to the long-time residential use of the properties and the urban character of the surrounding area. Flora on the property consists of lawn, and non-native trees and ornamental plants. Fauna in the area include introduced birds and mammals. Based on the preceding, the applicant believes that it is unlikely that rare or endangered floral or faunal resources are to be found within or proximate to the site. Lastly, this approval is made with the understanding that the applicant remains responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements in connection 1,vith the approved use, prior to its commencement or establishment upon the subject properties. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of building permits, the installation of approved wastewater disposal systems, compliance with the Fire Code, installation of improvements required by the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), among many others. Compliance with all applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this approval; failure to comply with such requirements will be considered a violation that may result in enforcement action by the Planning Department and/or the affected agencies. Based on the preceding findings, the Director recommends approval of the change of zone request from a Single-Family Residential (RS-10) to an Industrial- Commercial Mixed (MCX-20) district. The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code, is provided for your favorable consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill. We are enclosing copies of the staff Background, Planning Director's Recommendation, and the Power Point presentation. A draft transcript of the hearing will be provided under separate cover. Sincerely, John R.

Campbell Esq., Corporation Counsel BShimizuREZ.EC9.17.2021 COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT BACKGROUND REPORT LEILA SHIMIZU CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION(REZ 21-000247) LEILA SHIMIZU has submitted an application for a Change of Zone from a Single-Family Residential-10,000 square feet (RS-10) zoning district to an Industrial-Commercial Mixed- 20,000 square feet(MCX-20) zoning district for approximately 22,300-square feet of land. The subject properties are located at 755 Kekfianao`a Street and 605 Kalanikoa Street, at the northeast corner of the Kekuan5o`a Street-Kalanikoa Street intersection, Waiakea Houselots, South Hilo, Hawaii, TMKs: 2-2-035:049 and 2-2-035:096. PROPOSED ACTION 1. Applicant's Request: The applicant is requesting to change the zoning district from a Single-Family Residential - 10,000 square_feet(RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed District- 20,000 square feet(MCX-20) zoning district for 22,300 square feet of land in order to convert an existing single-family dwelling into an office building to rent out or for private use, and to develop a parking lot and related improvements on the subject parcels. According to the Zoning Code, the purpose of the Industrial-Commercial Mixed District (MCX) is to allow mixing of some industrial uses with commercial uses. The intent of this district is to provide for areas of diversified businesses and employment opportunities by permitting a broad range of uses, without exposing non-industrial uses to unsafe and unhealthy environments. This district is intended to promote and maintain a viable mix of light industrial and commercial uses. Industrial-Commercial Mixed District(MCX)has 56 types of permitted uses allowed within the district, including but not limited to: agricultural products processing—minor, art studios, business services, churches, temples and synagogues, convenience stores, farmers markets, offices,restaurants, retail establishments, etc. Requirements for establishing a land use in the MCX district, including a list of the variety of permitted land uses, are shown in Section 25-5-130 to 25-5-138 of the Zoning Code. (Planning Department Exhibit 1 —Zoning Code Requirements for Industrial-Commercial Mixed District(MCX)) 2. Proposed Development: The applicant is requesting the subject change of zone to convert the existing 1,456 square foot single-family dwelling located on TMK: 2-2-035:096 for office use and to construct an accompanying parking area for the office on the adjacent parcel (TMK: 2-2-035:049). If the proposed change of zone is granted, the applicant intends to consolidate the subject parcels into a single lot. The applicant is proposing a minimum of six(6)parking stalls plus one (1)handicapped parking stall and intends to install landscaping consistent with Planning Department Rule No. 17 in conjunction with the Plan Approval process. As the property north of the subject site is zoned Single-Family Residential (RS-10)the applicant proposes to install additional landscaping along the common boundary to be in full compliance with landscaping requirements per the zoning code. The applicant intends to finalize the renovation plans and begin construction within one year of being granted the requested Change of Zone. The applicant estimates the cost of this project to be $100,000 including the proposed parking area. Please note that although the applicant is currently proposing to convert the existing dwelling to an office building, any permitted use in the MCX-zoning district can be established on the property should the change of zone request be approved. 3. Supportive Information: The applicant has submitted the attached in support of the request(P. D. Exhibit 2—Change of Zone Application dated June 18, 2021). 4. Landowner: Teruo Kodani Trust STATE AND COUNTY PLANS 5. State Land Use District: Urban. 6. General Plan LUPAG Map Designation: Industrial, which includes manufacturing and processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities, power plants, and government baseyards. -2- 7. County Zoning: Single-Family Residential-10,000 square feet(RS-10). 8. Hilo Community Development Plan: The Hilo Community Development Plan adopted by Planning Commission Resolution No. 1 on May 21, 1975 identifies the area as RS-10. 9. Special Management Area: The SMA is a part of the Coastal Zone Management Program regulated by the County. The project site is located approximately one mile from the shoreline and is not in the SMA. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA 10. Subject Properties: The subject site consists of two (2)parcels, TMK: 2-2-035:049, and 2-2-035:096 that are rectangular in shape consisting of a total combined land area of 22,300 square feet. The combined parcels have 223 feet of frontage along KekfIanao`a Street and 100 feet of frontage along Kalanikoa Street. The topography is fairly level. The applicant intends to have the two (2)parcels consolidated should the proposed change of zone be granted. According to tax records there is one(1) three-bedroom 1,456 square foot single-family dwelling on parcel 96 that was constructed in 1953 and is proposed to be converted into an office building. Parcel 49 was improved with a single- family dwelling that was demolished in 2004. 11, Surrounding Land Uses/Zoning: The property is surrounded by a mix of commercial, industrial and residential uses. The property is bordered to the north and west by residential properties zoned RS-10. The area fronting Kekuanao`a Street is a mix of residential, commercial and limited industrial. There is a gas station immediately adjacent and east of the subject site on land zoned ML-20. There are other types of commercial uses within the vicinity of the subject site. 12. Flood Zone: The subject property falls within Zone"X", determined by FEMA to be an area of minimal flood hazard. 13. Flora/Fauna Resources: No professional floral or faunal survey was conducted of the properties due to the long-time residential use of the properties and the urban character of the surrounding area. Flora on the property consists of lawn, fruit trees and ornamental plants. Fauna in the area include introduced birds (dove, finch, Japanese white-eye, etc.) -3- and mammals (dogs, cats, mongoose, etc.) consistent with urban areas. Based on the preceding, the applicant believes that it is unlikely that rare or endangered floral or faunal resources are likely to be found within or proximate to the site, therefore it is unlikely that the development of the subject property would cause any adverse floral or faunal impacts. 14. Archaeological/Cultural/Historical Resources: No professional archaeological and cultural study was conducted of the property because it has been developed with a residential use since 1953. There are no known historic sites on the property as listed on the State or National Register of Historic Places. By letter dated July 7, 2021, the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) determined that no historic properties would be affected by the proposed rezoning. 15. Public Access: There is no public access to the mountains or the shoreline that traverses the property. UTILITIES AND SERVICES 16. Access: The project site has frontage along both Kekuanao`a Street and Kalanikoa Street, which are two-lane,paved County roadways. The site is currently accessed via a single driveway to the existing single-family dwelling on Kalanikoa Street. Kekuanao`a Street is currently improved with 30 feet of pavement within the existing 40-foot-wide right-of- way in this area and is classified as a secondary arterial road by the Hilo Zone Map, which requires an 80-foot-wide right-of-way. Kalanikoa Street is currently improved with 22 feet of pavement within the existing 50- foot-wide right-of-way and is classified as a collector road by the Hilo Zone Map, which requires a 60-foot-wide right-of-way. The applicant proposes to access the site via a permitted full-access entry/exit along Kalanikoa Street. The applicant also proposes to potentially provide additional parking in the area of the property closest to the gas station. In order to preserve the functional classification of Kekuanao`a Street as a secondary arterial road, the Department of Public Works (DPW) recommends that access to the project site via Kekuanao`a Street be prohibited or marginal (limited), at most. The -4- applicant is agreeable to the DPW recommendation and will limit any access to the site via Kekfianao'a Street to right-tum in,right-tum out movements only. DPW also recommends that the applicant provide the following improvements for the proposed zoning: roadway improvements to the subject property's Kalanikoa Street and Kekdando'a Street frontage consisting of, but not limited to, pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk, drainage improvements, and any required utility relocation,meeting the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the approval of the DPW. The improvements shall be located within the future road widening setback established by the Planning Department. Additionally, DPW recommends a minimum of 20-foot comer radius (property line)be provided at the intersection of Kekuando,a Street and Kalanikoa Street. Finally, DPW recommends that the applicant install streetlights and traffic control devices as may be required by the Department of Public Works -Traffic Division. The applicant shall be responsible for the design, purchase, and installation of such devices. As the applicant is requesting to convert the existing dwelling to an office at this time, they have requested that the County defer the requirement of the recommended roadway improvements until a new structure is built on the subject property. 17. Traffic: According to the applicant, the proposed office use is anticipated to generate five(5)vehicle trips during the AM and PM peak hours of traffic, thus the requirement of a Traffic Impact Analysis Report(TIAR) was not triggered. Furthermore, the applicant will limit access from Kekiliando'a Street to right-turn in, right-tum out movements and will provide adequate onsite parking for the project. Based on the preceding, the applicant does not anticipate the project creating a significant adverse impact to traffic along Kekiianao'a Street or Kalanikoa Street. 18. Water: According to the Department of Water Supply(DWS), County water is available from an existing 8-inch water line within both Kekilando'a Street and Kalanikoa Street, fronting the subject parcels. The subject parcels currently have one(1) existing service lateral and one(1) existing 5/8-inch meter fronting each existing parcel, which are limited -5- to an average daily usage of 400 gallons each. DWS will determine the appropriate water commitment deposit,prevailing facilities charge, appropriate service lateral and meter size required once the applicant provides estimated maximum daily water usage calculations,prepared by a licensed engineer, for the proposed land use. The DWS also requires a reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly be installed and inspected prior to commencement/continuation of water service. Finally, DWS indicated that the existing 8-inch waterlines within Kalanikoa Street and Kekfiando'a Street are inadequate to provide 2,000 GPM of flow for fire protection, as required per the Water System Standards for the proposed zoning and recommended that the applicant contact the Fire Department to determine any other fire protection requirements or alternatives to meet the minimum requirements for fire protection. 19. Wastewater: The subject properties are accessible to the County sewer and are situated in the Department of Health's (DOH) Critical Wastewater Disposal Area. The existing dwelling is currently connected to the County's sewer system in this area. According to the Department of Environmental Management - Wastewater Division(DEM),the "Applicant shall provide such sewer line or other facility improvements as the Director of DEM may reasonably require, which the sewer study may indicate are advisable for mitigation of impacts of the proposed pro, -Planning Department staff discussion with DEM staff clarified that a sewer study is not currently required for the project at this time. At the time the applicant applies for a change of use building permit to convert the existing dwelling into an office and/or applies for building permits to expand the existing structure or construct another structure, DEM may then require that wastewater calculations from a certified engineer be provided to DEM to determine if the sewer system is adequate to meet the projected increase. 20. Solid Waste: There are no municipal waste collection services in the County. According to the applicant, solid waste will be handled by commercial haulers who will dispose of the refuse at the county landfill in Hilo and eventually the Pu'uanahulu landfill in North Kona. The applicant does not believe one is needed, but if required, a Solid Waste -6- i Management Plan can be prepared to help address ways to accommodate and reduce the project's waste. 21. Utilities and Services: All essential utilities and services are available to the property. Police, fire and medical services are available nearby in Hilo. i AGENCY COMMENTS 22.

One of the parcels, TMK: 2-2-035: 096 is located on the northeastern corner of Kekuanada Street and Kalanikoa Street. The adjoining parcel (TMK: 2-2-035: 049) is situated to its east with a Kekuanao'a Street frontage. The parcels are collectively referred herein as the "subject site". If successful, the Applicant plans to convert the existing dwelling into an office building. In due time, however, the Applicant or its successors may elect to construct a new structure to accommodate uses consistent with the requested MCX zoning. PROJECT LOCATION As noted earlier, the subject site consists of 22,300 square feet and is identified by TMK: 2-2-035: 049 and 096.. Should the rezoning request be approved, the Applicant intends to have these parcels consolidated. Under that basis, the subject site would be a corner lot with frontages on both Kekuanao'a Street and Kalanikoa Street. (Figures 1 & 2) In this area, the area fronting Kanoelehua Avenue and Kekuanao'a Street is predominantly commercial and light industrial in character. There is a gas station immediately adjacent and east of the subject site. There are other commercial type of uses within 500 feet of the subject site. At the northeastern corner of Kekuanada Street and Laukapu Street, there is an office building, while a medical clinic is located at the southwestern corner of that intersection. Fronting Kanoelehua Avenue, in addition to the gas station, there are a retail paint store, cable company with vehicular storage areas, and an office building. There are single-family residential structures further north and south along Kalanikoa Street. The mixed uses generally correspond to the mixed zoning of this area. Particularly along major street frontages like the subject site, the Waiakea House Lots area is slowly undergoing a land use transition from an exclusive single-family residential to commercial uses, while the -. . , .

Pr=oject Concept and Components The Applicant wishes to convert an existing single-family residential structure into an office building for either rental or personal use The visibility and accessibility of this area make the subject site quite attractive for office or office-related uses associated with airport and transportation activities. At the same time, because of some of the surrounding residences, the proposed office use would be a more benign and less noxious use than a retail or light industrial activity. If the request is approved, the Applicant intends to convert the existing. 1, 156 square foot dwelling situated on parcel 006 for office use The other parcel, which had a dwelling that was demolished in 2004, would be used for parking. A preliminary site plan is found in Figure 3. The minimum parking required for the 1,500 square toot structure would be five (5) stalls. The applicant is proposing a minimum of six (6) plus one (1) handicapped stall. Landscaping consistent with Planning Department Rule leo. 17 would be implemented in conjunction with the Plan Approval process. Because the property north of the subject site is zoned R -10, additional landscaping along the common boundary would be implemented. Access to the site would be from the single permitted access along I alanikoa Street. The Applicant may also consider providing additional parking in the area closest to the gas station. In that event, access to this area would be limited to right-turn, right-out movements only, It should be emphasized that the proposed site plan and parking location are pLtlirninary and may be adjusted to accommodate the spatial requirements of the potential use and County's design review and related construction requirements. B. Project Timetable and Cost Should the request be approved, the Applicant intends to finalize the renovation plans and begin construction within the next year. The estimated cost of this project is $100,000, inclusive of the parking area. 2 v.: i i i j I i i t r h I i, 5 k 7 r i j I 1 1 L I t e4.1S FIGURE IV. INSTITUTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS A. State Land Use The subject property is designated Urban. As such.. no State Land Use Commission action is required. The County of Hawaii can process the rezoning request. B, County general Plan The County General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation wide (LUPAG) neap, if scaled, designates the site Industrial. Relative to the Industrial designation, the General Plan allows consideration for"manufa^turing and processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities, and light Industrial uses. ' As such, the requested !VICX zoning wou d ue consistent with 'this designation, and no General Plan amendment is necessary. No changes are contemplated in this area in the draft revision to the General Plan now being developed by the Planning Department. C. Hilo Community Development Plan The Community Development Plan (CDP) attempts to further define the General Plan and serves as a qqide for decision-makers. It was adopted by the Planning Commission in 1975, over 25 years ago, Although reviewed by the County Council, the CDP was never adopted. The CDP's Land Use Concept map identifies a RS-10 designation for this area. This designation suggests residential uses at an average of nearly 4 units per acre. Notwithstanding this inconsistency, however, it is acknowledged that the growth of Hilo and its outlying areas like Puna have made some of the planning assumptions of the CDP obsolete, An updated CDP would be timely. Absent the availability of a relevant intermediary planning document, one must rely only can the General Plan LUPAG reap and policies. In the end, the General Plan is more critical, as the County Charter requires all zone changes to be consistent with it. D. County Zoning The County zoning of the subject site is Single-family Residential (RS-0). If the Industrial-Commercial Mixed iI'MC -20) request were approved, the subject site would be converted from a single-family residential to office use. Should that occur, all land use and development codes such as parking, landscaping, fire, ACCRA. and the like would be complied with. G. Other Permitting Considerations The site is not located within the County Special Management area (SMA) As such, no SMA Use Permit would be required 4 However, other construction-related permits would still be required, j These would be of the "ministerial„ variety, such as flan Approval, building permit, driveway permit, and health clearances. `. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS A. 'General Description The combined area of the 22,300 square foot site is rectangularly- shaped. It has a width of 100 feet fronting Kalanikoa Street, while the frontage along Kekuanao'a Street is 220+ feet. There is a vacant single- family dwelling near the rear of the site. As noted earlier, the existing residential structure will be converted into an office and an improved parking area would be constructed. The subject site has been fully improved and used for two (2) residences. Since the second dwelling was demolished, the landscaping of that area has been integrated into the area with the dwelling. There is a lawn fronting both streets, as well as several citrus trees on the subject, 8. Climate, Sail and Topography According to the State Commission on Water Resource Management, the nearest rain gauge in this area is the Nilo Airport. The rainfall data of this gauge notes that over the past 37 years, the annual median rainfall for this area was 131.1 inches. The wetter months tend to occur between October through April. The average daily temperature ranges from a minimum of 61 degrees to a maXimum of 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Wind patterns are generally trade winds (easterly) during the day and westerly or mountain winds during the evenings. The site is fairly level. There are no perceptible topographic or geologic constraints. It sits at approximately the 75-foot elevation level. Being within a heavily urbanized area; the Land Study Bureau Overall Master Productivity Rating does not have any classification for this site. Likewise, the site is not classified under the Agriculture Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALIShi) classification system, Thus, 4 i the State's classification system does not recognize this site as being agriculturally important. The U. S. Steil Conservation Service, however, has designated the soil type in this are to be of the Waakaha extremely rocky muck (rKFD) series 6 to 20 percent slopes. This soil type consists of well-drained, thing (less than 1 foot) organic soils overlying pahoehoe lava bedrock. Runoff is mediurn, erosion hazard slight, and shrink-swell potential high These soils are usually moist, but when dried: they have high shrinkage but low swelling potential. This soil type is widespread throughout downtown Nilo. `i C. Natural Hazards Dr ipA.9. i The US Corps of Engineers' Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) designates the area of the proposed development to be in Zone X ureas outside of 000-year flood). There are no drainage ways through the site. Accordingly, the site has not and should not be subject: to flooding. As there will be an added level of impervious surface resulting from the proposed parking area, there may be an'issue relating to potential increased run-off. In that event, drywell or similar type of accommodations will be implemented, subject to the review and approval of the Department of Public Works. The depth of these drywells - if needed - will be sufficient to avoid potentially high groundwater table. . `tsunami Hazard The subject site is situated over a mile from the ocean and is outside of the Civil Defense's Tsunami Evacuation Zone. . Volcanic and Fart quake Hazards The United States Geological Survey (USES) classifies the entire City of Hilo as being within Lava Flow Hazard Zone 3 on a scale of ascending risk. 0 to 1. There is little that car' be done to mitigate this situation and reflects an ongoing threat to all residents and businesses, The entire island of Hawaii falls within Earthquake Zone 4, according to the County Building Code. As such, the Applicant understands 5 i and accepts that there will be added structural requwrements to address this seismic hazard during the conversion process. i D. Faure Resources I Although there was no professional survey conducted of the faunal resources of the site, the Applicant does not believe that rare or endangered faunal resources are likely to be found within or proximate to the subject site. The site is not only within an urban environment, but It is in fact fully developed. i Introduced bird species (such as dove, Japanese White-eye, house a finch.. myna) are common in this area. Domestic animals such as cats and dogs, and other animals like rats and mongoose are also common, t hese are all common and not endangered. i As such, it is unlikely that the development of the subject property would cause any adverse faunal impacts. j I i E. Flora Resources { No commissioned flora survey was conducted of the site due in large measure to its past and current residential use. Aside from the lawn, there are some fruit trees and other cultivated { plants typically used for landscaping such as anthuriurns and fern. Given its past use; it is unlikely that the subject site would be a habitat for any listed threatened or endangered plant life. F. HistoricICulturallArehaeologieal Resources i For the same reason noted above, no commissioned archaeological inventory survey and cultural assessment study was conducted of the subject site. The past and current residential use of the site; resulting in its extensive clearing, reduces the prospect of finding any archaeological remains. Nonetheless, during the course of developing this project, should any anticipated archaeological Features or sites be uncovered, work in the affected area will immediately cease and the applicant will notify the Planning Department. G. Valued Cultural Resources In view of the recent Hawaii Mate Supreme Court's -"PASH" and "Ka Pa'akai 0 Ka'Aina'decisions, the issue relative to native Hawaiian 6 gathering and fishing rights must be addressed. Specifically, there IT List be a discussion of the cultural, historical, and natural resources and associated traditional and customary practices of this site. In this situation, the subject site is not adjacent and/or proximate to the shoreline. As such, fishing and/or coastal access is not an issue. It is not known whether the subject or immediate surrounding area was ever used for the gathering of plants by native Hawaiians, However, as the site has been used residentially for over 50 years and landscaped with a lawn and other introduced species, it would appear very unlikely that the site would serve such purpose today and/or in the recent past. l There are also no known archaeological features on the subject property. Based on the above, it does not appear that the project would have any potential adverse impact relating to the cultural and historical resources of this area. H. Water and Coastal Resources The subject site is located over a mile from the coastline. As such, coastal impacts resulting from discharge of drainage systems from the site should not be significant. Being a non-coastal property, no coastal access will be affected. The subject site is already hooked up to the County's wastewater system fronting Kalanikoa Street. There was also a sewer hookup that has been disengaged for the demolished dwelling fronting Kekuanao`a Street. As such, potential groundwater and coastal resources impacts would be mitigated. 1 i Further as noted earlier, prior to the installation or use of any drywells on the site to address on-site drainage concerns, the appropriate UIC j permit from the State will be taken. At that time, impacts to water and coastal resources will be carefully examined. 1, Eloise, Air Quality, and gust Impacts The existing background ambient noise level is associated with the wind, foliage, birds, and the like. This is relatively low, averaging less than 45 Lad n. Traffic along Kekuanao'a Street and Kanoelehua Avenue and frequent aircraft traffic, however, heaviiy influence manmade noise in this area, 7 i i i Kanoelehua Avenin is a major cross-town 6-lane, divided highway. Likewise, Kekuanao'a Street is one of the major arterials into Downtown Hila. As such, although this project will introduce additional vehicular traffic to this area, it is not anticipated to contribute significantly to the long-term ambient noise level. Thus. any traffic increase should result in a noise increase of equal to or less than 55 Ldn, which is within acceptable levels within an urban environment. The periodic aircraft overflights generate a higher level at approximately 66 Ldn. The short-term noise impacts will be associated with the construction of the project. These will be temporary, Further, all applicable State rules governing construction noise abatement will be observed. The Applicant also intends to not ailow noise-generating construction activity to occur on Sundays and early morning and late evening hours. The proposed development should not generate any direct airalit, impacts. During the short-term, there may be some fugitive dust associated with the construction of the project. However, compliance with the State Department of Health's regulations governing dust control should help mitigate this potential impact. From a long-terra perspective, the project itself is not expected to have uses that generate adverse air pollutants. The only discernible air quality impact would be associated with vehicular traffic to and from the site. While the added traffic will have an impact to the ambient air quality, the impact should not be significant. This is due in part to the higher FPA standards for automobile air emissions and the prevailing tradewinds. All required parking area within the project site will be paved with an ail- weather, dust free surface. Landscaping will also be required as part of the Plan Approval requirement. As such, with the exception of minimal construction dust in the beginning, long term dust generated by the project should be insignificant. J. Sceni- and Visual Considerations In the Natural Beauty element of the General Plan, there are sites or areas listed as scenic resources. The subject site is not listed as a scenic site. However, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are listed as scenic resources. The proposed conversion should not create any adverse visual imparts on either of those mountains. The location of the site is such that there 8 will be no interruptions to these views. Further, the structure already exists, resulting in the a 'what you see is what you get" impact. Thus, there should be little, if any, adverse visual impacts resulting from this project, NA, SOCIAL AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS A. Surrounding Land Uses There is a gas station immediately east of the subject site. There arE other commercial uses further east and fronting Kanoelehua Avenue. There are also commercial uses and a medical clinic a block west along the corners of Kekuanao'a Street and Laukapu Street, There are also residential uses north and south of the subject site along Kalanikoa Street. The uses are generally consistent with their zoning, as noted in the zoning map Figure 4. As such, while the requested use would be consistent with the design and scale of the immediate area, the proposed office use could still generate some impact to the residences. To mitigate these impacts, design and construction factors such as the placement of future structures, parking areas, lighting, landscaping, and the like will be addressed during the Flan Approval process. B. Economic Impacts The requested zoning would have some measure of economic impact, as it would provide short-terra employment opportunities for those in the construction and related industries. With the completion of the project, there will possibly be a few long-term employment opportunities. The project is anticipated to create at least two ( ) to five (5) full and part-time employees. The subject property is located proximate to commercial areas, including Downtown Nilo. Kaiko'o Mall, Nilo Shopping Center, and the University, it can thus be economically complementary of those areas. A mixed industrial/commercial rezoning would also increase the tax revenues to the County. However, there could be some real property tax consequences for the adjacent residential properties. As the assessed valuation of the subject property rises due to the higher commercial use, there could be some fallout to neighboring properties. Nonetheless, homeowners intent on keeping their property for residential uses could„ 9 i i i i i Ulol-,Am ST C5 d- t I ue an > D < < r Vi tdA O z cst cit CD o cis ct > r I 7t7 C) NSIC_1LANI ST � �sol C/Y [Ii # tJ7 O Cra (n Eli O C3 C7 ;tt sv t7 C7 y, -' w O s z N Z z p C3 ;r MANONO ST C7 f) 0C7 ,. c> to m M 70 t} r: tit {y M M v -a Y W Z W ooZ U) o Cninits °�. rk p O o O Z G O O s + RS HiNANO ST 3 0 X ,a cn Ctx i!3 t) A40 M ' s co X' ci tP3 CCD a p ® [l}dT. + } x n ; N '� ck x ,may KALANtKOA ST 00 � 0 � Ct7 � � 6 LO �. w�g FF II CD KA OELEHUAAVE `.0',13 s'SF "�#SY, a..,.x.°5:44 `Ft U::,, ~~• y5 ::, is �"I rk x xx k a xx,x :s. � � � �`"�—*;.% x €.~~t�sx a � x '?„xr• x x CD .? :z` MD. f11 Q 4".~x x OKEL.ANI ST. . x a z ¥ .�e .. 3 v r x x,•.: x x: s x p �► .,i C CY1gig im ( ,7s- "' � '';�. x x t � v xx..�gy :�� r z �'��x•—� t' 1,1 YN 4 5 5 � � � �i y v '� :..k a a�x a•#s, �,� �rvr x � r y $ x FIGURE at this time, take advantage of a flax provision that allows homeowners to "freeze" the valuation of their property for a certain period. C. Agricultural Impacts The site is urban and has not been used for intensive agricultural activities, The site has been used as a residence for over 50 years, The surrounding area is also heavily urbanized. Even the Mate ALISI-I's mapping system does not classify this site. Accordingly, the potential commercial agricultural value of the site - aside from limited domestic purposes - is minute, if at all. VII INFRASTRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS A. Road Although the subject site is a corner property with access to both Kekuanao'a Street and Kalanikoa Street, full movernent access would be limited to Kalanikoa Street. The Kekuanao'a Street access would be limited to right-turn in, right-turn out movements. Kekuanao'a Street is a -lane collector road operating within a 40-foot wide right-of-way. Kalanikoa Street is also a 2-lane road but within a 50- foot wide right-of-way. As with ether rezoning applications in this area, at the appropriate time, the Applicant is prepared to improve and dedicate a 10-foot wide road widening strip along the Kekuanao'a Street frontage, as well as a 5-foot wide road widening strip along Kalanikoa Street. i Kalanikoa Street is also a 2-lane road but within a 50-foot wide right-of- way. Inasmuch as the Applicant intends, at this time, to only renovate the existing structure for office use, it would appreciate consideration in having the significant off-site road improvements, such as the curb, gutter and sidewalk, deferred to when a new structure is built. That way, the required infrastructure as well as funding of the off-site improvements can be integrated into the overall and larger project. At any rate, the proposed office use is not expected to generate more than five (5) AM and Rpt peak hour traffic. As such, the project does not reach the 50+ movement threshold for a Traffic Impact Analysis Report. While there will be some measure of traffic impacts, there are certain conditions that should help mitigate the impacts. For one, �r the limitation of right-in, right-out movements along Kekuanao'a Street minimizes conflicts. Further, unlike a retail establishment, the office use would generate fewer turning movements or traffic. B. Water There is a 6-inch waterline within Kekuanao'a Street, There is also a similar line along Kalanikoa Street. It is anticipated that the existing Si8- inch meter would be sufficient for the proposed office use. If an additional or larger meter is needed, the Applicant will install one. Wastewater The existing dwelling is already hooked up to the County's system in this area. -fh s will continue. D. Solid Waste Solid waste will be handled by commercial haulers who will dispose of the refuse at the county landfill in Hilo and eventually at Pu'uanahulu, North Kona. Typically, the waste generation of a project of this nature (office) should be comparable to a typical residence or at the most t�%o (2) residences. Although the Applicant does not believe one is needed, if required, a Solid Waste Management Plan can be prepared to help address ways to accommodate and reduce the project's waste. E. Other Government Services As this area is already part of the City of Hilo urban area, it is already being serviced. No extension of government services would be required, and existing facilities should be sufficient to accommodate the limited demand expected from this project At least three (3) County Fire Stations and Emergency Medical Services are located within a 5-minute response area. As this project is a commercial one, it should have little or no direct impacts to schools, parks, and other related facilities. It should be noted that there are parks and schools within a 2-mile radius of the sUbject site. The Hilo Medical Center is located, approximately three (3) miles from the site. This hospital is one of five licensed hospitals on the island. Ii F. Other Utilities All other utilities such as telephone and electrical services are avaiEatle to the site. \'lll. IMPACT SIGNIFICANCE ANALYSIS Aa Relationship Between Local Short-Term Uses of Environment and Maintenance and Enhancement of Long-Term Productivity The short-term use of the site would probably be continued residential use. However, given that the subject site is in an area of land use transition and considering the traffic along Kanoelehua Avenue and more so, Kekuanao`a Street, long-term residential use may not be that desirable Further, this project should not result in any significantly adverse short or long-term impacts that cannot be properly mitigated. There will be direct and indirect economic benefits - albeit small - resulting from the construction and implementation of this project. Relatedly, the project will generate increased tax revenues that can supplement the State and County's fiscal resources. Because of its location: this project will provide a service that can be made reasonably accessible to the region and immediate neighborhoods. The required infrastructure - if needed - will be implemented by the Applicant to mitigate potential impacts of this project. Finally, the design and scale of the project will be quasi-residential in nature. As such, in spite of its "mixed industrialfcommercial" use, a residential ambiance could still be captured. B. Irreversible and Irretrievable Commitment of Resources The subject site is already disturbed. As such, the commitment of natural or other resources (such as archaeological) would not appear to be an issue. The likelihood of finding archaeological features on the site is remote, due to the past development of the site. Further, any unanticipated finds will be properly mitigated upon consultation with appropriate government agencies. C. Mitigative Measures The Applicant intends to provide any required off and on-site infrastructure in conjunction with the development of this project. i These may include drainage, wastewater, water, and road/traffic improvements. l The Applicant will provide a conforming full movement driveway access from Kalanikoa Street and a limited right-in. right out access alone 3 Kekuanao`a Street. Likewise, the Applicant, if required, is prepared to make on-site drainage improvements to accommodate the planned parking area. All of these will be done in conjunction with the permitting and project implementation phases of this project. As noted ea1ier however, while the Applicant would not have any objections in dedicating the required rights-of-way at any point in time, it would appreciate consideration in having their improvements deferred until a new structure is built on the subject site. AlthouC1h the potential for unearthing archaeological features on the site is remote, if any inadvertent discoveries are made during any phase of this project, the planning Department will be notified. Work will resurne only upon receipt of proper clearances from said agency. If required, additional landscaping will also be incorporated within the project site, as well as along the boundaries adjacent to the neighboring residences to the north. The landscaping would be consistent with the Planning Department's landscaping rules. D. Alternatives to the Proposed Projec I. No Project Under the status quo alternative, the subject site would remain in its present residential use. Under this scenario, the site would not be utilized to a use that services the community while keeping the residential flavor of the immediate neighborhood. 2. Development Based on Existing RS-10 Zoning Under this alternative, the land could not be further subdivided. It would, however; be possible to construct an additional dwelling with an "ohana" permit on each of the lot, resulting in a total density of four {4} homes_ However, the site's proximity to commercial and industrial uses and the heavily traveled Kanoelehua Avenue and Kekuanao`a Street would make it less desirable for more intensive residential uses. 13 Accordingly, it may be unlikely that the site would be developed more intensively for residential uses. . Alternative Residential Densities The site could be developed into a higher residential density, such as multiple-family. However, that would not be fulfilling the long-range lradostr'ial objective of the General Plan LUPAG map. Notwithstanding the General Plan, as noted above, having residential uses adjacent to a major street; particularly from a noise and dust perspective, may not be a desirable use. 4. Evaluation sof Alternatives Leaving the property in its current undeveloped state would not rnaximize the use of the land. There would also be diminished tax revenues and fewer services to the public. Vlhile alternative residential densities are possible, the proximity of industrial and commercial uses and a major highway would not make such a project feasible. At the same time, the project's impact to the area's social and physical infrastructure would not appear to be pronounced, particularly considering the quasi-residential scale and design of the building. Further, additional mitigative measures such as landscaping, lighting, and so forth will be taken to address any possible impact associated with the proposed use. In that regard, the project in totality would be consistent with the land use objectives sought to be accomplished by the County General Phan LUPAG reap. In view of the aforementioned, none of the alternatives would be more prudent and beneficial than the requested MMX--20 zoning alternative. IX. REGULATORY ANALYSIS A. general Plan LUPAG app The General Plan provides for the long-range comprehensive development of the island of Hawaii, It provides direction for balanced growth in the County. 14 The LUPAG reap designates the site todustrial. a designation that allows the requested MCX-20 zoning. Accordingly, this request would not be inconsistent with the LUPAG map. General Plan POliGieS The requested zoning would be consistent with the goals, policies, and standards of the Economic and Land Use dements of the General Plan. Specifically, the more pertinent ones follow: 1. Economic Element Goals • Provide residents with opportunities to improve their quality of life. • Economic development and improvement shall be in balance with the physical and social environments of the island of Hawaii, • The County of Hawaii shall strive for diversity and stability in its economic system. • The County shall provide an economic environment which allows neve, expanded, or improved economic opportunities that are compatible with the County's natural and social environment. Policies The County shall provide an economic environment which allows new, expanded, or improved economic opportunities that are compatible with the County's natural and social environment, The County shall strive for an economic climate which provides its residents an opportunity for choice of occupation. The County shall strive for diversification of its economy by strengthening existing industries and attracting new endeavors. The County shall encourage the development of a visitor industry which is consistent with the social, physical, and economic goals of the residents of the County. Discussion The request, through the conversion of the residence, would provide opportunities for a small office building to establish itself in an area that is i i i serviced by a good transportation system. Relatedly, all required infrastructure is there or, if not and/or needed, will be provided by the Applicant without taxing government's servicing ability. Further, the area is located proximate to industrial and business areas, making the site accessible to these uses. I At the same time, because of the type of use (office) and its small--scaled nature, the requested project should be consistent with the land use j pattern in this area; while making it convenient for the region and surrounding neighborhoods. 2, Lame Use Element (Commercial) 6oais Provide for commercial developments that maximize convenience to its users. provide commercial developments that complement the overall pattern of transportation and land usage within the island's regions, communities, and neighborhoods. I { Policies r i 'i • Commercial facilities shall be developed in areas adequately served by necessary services, such as water, utilities, sewers, and transportation systems. Should such services not be available, the development of,more intensive uses should be in concert with a localized program of public and private capital improvements to meet the expected increased needs. • Distribution of commercial areas shall be such as to best meet the demands of neighborhood, community and regional needs. • The development of commercial facilities should be designed to fit into the locale with minimum intrusion while providing the cesired services. Appropriate infrastructure and design controls shall be incorporated into the review of such developments. Standards Commercial developments shall be located in areas adequately served by transportation, utilities, and amenities. Commercial developments shall provide for adequate internal circulation amongst commercial facilities in the area. ,E 16 i i I • Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be provided. • Commercial development shall maintain or Improve the quality of the present environment through the consideration of visual, access, landscaping, and other design elements in their development. • Preference shall be given to commercial lands with a reasonably level topography, Discussion As the City of Hilo and its surrounding area continue to grow, there will be a need for more office space, However. not all office uses need to be in large structures. Smaller structures in areas of transition — such as here — would be appropriate. From a visual and infrastructure perspective, the proposed project would not overwhelm the surrounding area. The subject site also fulfills other policies and standards articulated in the General Plan. The site is already serviced by adequate infrastructure, and where there are not, will be extended and/or provided by the Applicant, The County water and sewer lines are already available to the subject site. Police and fire protective services are available within a 5-minute response time. As such, this project should not require additional publ c services to be provided. The site does not have any'on-site developmental constraints. The land is relatively level and is designated "X" on the FIRM map. Further, because office use is not noxious, potential pollution concerns Would be minimal, if at all. Being used as a residence in the past, the prospects of the site servirig as a habitat for rare or endangered plant or animal life appear remote. There is also little evidence that the site would have any archaeological feature. Because of the proposed scale and type of use, the request would be - ironically - generally compatible with the Surrounding residential area as well as the growing mix of industrialfcommercial uses. To further mitigate potential visual and noise impact, additional landscaping can be provided adjacent to any adjacent residential properties west of the subject site. Finally, the standards for an office building will be fulfilled. These include the acreage, setbacks, uses, parking, etc, 17 t t }i} t 1 1 t 3 B. Hilo Community Development Plan I As noted earlier, the Hilo CDP was adopted in 1975 by the Planning Commission to serve as a guide to the General Plan. Although the site is designated RS-10, many changes have occurred over the past 25 years, making many of the planning assumptions obsolete. C, Zoning If the request is approved.. the existing dwelling would be renovated and converted into an office building. All requirements to allow for this conversion — such as parking and landscaping and building code compliance — will be adhered to. No variances from the Code are anticipated E� DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS COUNTY OF HAWAII HILO, HAWAII DATE, t my 13, 2021 TO: Zendo Kern, Planning Director FROM: Deparlment of Public Works, Engineering Division f` SUBJECT: CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION (REZ 21-000247) Request: RS-10 TO MCX-20 Applicant: Leila Shimizu TMK: 2-2-035:049 and 2-2-035:006 We have reviewed the subject application forwarded by your memo dated June 28, 2021 and offer the following comments for your consideration: 1.

The DWS noted that while water is available, a water use calculation study be submitted to determine the size of the water meter and water lateral. Any commercial use of the property will require Plan Approval,a process prior to the submittal/processing of plans for a building permit. As such, the applicant intends to submit such a study and implement any required water related improvements, including a backflow prevented, in conjunction with the building construction process. The applicant will also consult with the Fire Department to determine alternative fire protection requirements. The agreed upon option would be implemented prior to issuance of an occupancy permit for any proposed commercial use. We trust that this adequately responds to DWS' comments.

In response to these comments,we provide the following; a. In similar rezoning applications,the Fire Department "FD") has commented that fire access be made available within 150' of all parts of any building. This and the access requirements, as well as any alternative to the minimum fire flow requirement will need to be fulfilled prior to issuance of a building permit. This is understandable and acceptable, especially for a new structure where all required improvements can be reasonably amortized over the construction of a new commercial structure. However, given that the applicant initially intends to convert the existing dwelling for office use,full compliance will be excessively onerous. As such, we respectfully request that there be a condition of compliance with the DWS' requirement,except as may be modified by FD relative to fire protection,prior to issuance of a building permit. b. The Police Department did not anticipate any traffic and/or safety concerns. c. Relative to the Department of Public Work("DPW")—Engineering's comments,the requirement of containing all project-generated water on-site will be complied with. A drainage plan, as required by the Plan Approval process,will be submitted and subsequently implemented. Likewise,if needed,all appropriate traffic control devices and street lights will be installed in conjunction with the development of this project. As with other properties in this area that were recently rezoned,the applicant is aware of and accepts that a 10-foot wide future Toad widening strip fronting the site's Kekuanaoa Street frontage to create an eventual a 60-foot right-of-way, with the Palo -,tg D e.431= i b i I. I I--,.. 4 CS (5 Mr.Zendo Kem, Director July 28,2021 Page 2 i additional 10-feet coming from the opposite side of the street. Access from Kekuanaoa Street would be limited to a right-in,right out movements. The improvements would include a concrete curb, gutter,and sidewalk section fronting the site's two frontages,which will be installed prior to issuance of an occupancy permit. This would also include the minimum 20-foot corner radius. Since the applicant intends to initially convert the existing dwelling for office use, like the Fire and Water requirements, it requests that the requirement for a curb, gutter,and sidewalk be deferred to when a new structure is constructed. d. Finally, the State Historic Preservation Division concluded that"no historic properties"would be affected. Thus, the request should not have any cultural or archaeological issues. We trust that the above adequately responded to the comments to date. If not or if there are further questions or comments on this matter,please let me know. Thank you very much. incerel , SI NEY M.

State Department of Land and Natural Resources Engineering Division noted the necessity to comply with applicable National Flood Insurance Program requirements.

Its Land Division—Hawai'i District had no objections to the request. h. State Department of Health noted the necessity comply with its noise and fugitive dust requirements. The applicant and/or its contractor will comply with those requirements. c. Count�Department of Environmental Management recommended connection to the sewer line. The subject dwelling is already connected to the sewer line and will comply with any additional wastewater related requirements in conjunction with the building permit process.

PUKE Planning Consultant Copy—Ms.Leila Shimizu wf agency comments via email ExIhibil ._._.1. _.�a® I RShimizuREZ.EC.9.21.2021 COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION I LEILA SHIMIZU CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION(REZ 21-000247) Upon careful review of the request against the guidelines for granting a change of zone, the Planning Director is recommending that a favorable recommendation of the Change of Zone request be forwarded to the County Council. Since this recommendation is made without the benefit of public testimony,the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this recommendation based upon additional information presented at the public hearing. This favorable recommendation is based on the following findings: The applicant is requesting to change the zoning district from a Single-Family Residential- 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed District- 20,000 square feet(MCX-20) zoning district for 22,300 square feet of land in order to convert an existing single-family dwelling into an office building to rent out or for private use, and to develop a parking lot and related improvements on the subject parcels. The applicant is requesting the subject change of zone to convert the existing 1,456 square foot single-family dwelling located on TMK: 2-2-035:096 for office use and to construct an accompanying parking area for the office on the adjacent parcel (TMK: 2-2-035:049). If the proposed change of zone is granted, the applicant intends to consolidate the subject parcels into a single lot. The applicant is proposing a minimum of six (6)parking stalls plus one (1)handicapped parking stall and intends to install landscaping consistent with Planning Department Rule No. 17 in conjunction with the Plan Approval process. As the property north of the subject site is zoned Single-Family Residential (RSA 0) the applicant proposes to install additional landscaping along the common boundary to be in full compliance with landscaping requirements per the zoning code. The applicant intends to finalize the renovation plans and begin construction within one year of being granted the requested Change of Zone. The applicant estimates the cost of this project to be $100,000 including the proposed parking area. Please note that although the applicant is currently proposing to convert the existing dwelling to an office building, any permitted use in the MCX-zoning district can 3 I be established on the property should the change of zone request be approved. In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation,the applicable goals,policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. The Change of Zone request from a Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet(RS-10) to the Industrial-Commercial Mixed 20,000 square feet (MCX-20) zoned district will conform to the goals,policies and standards of the General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements. The General Plan is intended to be used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the County. It sets forth goals,policies, standards and courses of action to accommodate growth without congestion, to designate and preserve the lands needed for residential use, commercial and visitor services, industry, agriculture and open space, and to coordinate these uses with the County's service and circulation systems. The overall goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. Land Use is one of the principal focal points of public concern and policy. The Land Use Element provides the primary basis for direct control and guidance of publicly and privately owned resources. The request conforms to the goals,policies and standards of the General Plan in that the proposed project will be developed in an area adequately served by necessary services such as water, utilities, sewers and transportation systems. The applicant is requesting an Industrial-Commercial mixed zoning. The proposed project conforms to the Land Use- Industrial sub-element which states that "Industrial development shall be located in areas adequately served by transportation, utilities and other amenities." i The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide(LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical -2- relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non-urban form for areas within the County. The project area is designated Industrial on the LUPAG Map. This industrial designation includes uses such as manufacturing and processing,wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities, light industrial uses, and industrial-commercial uses, therefore the requested change of zone to an MCX-20 district conforms to the LUPAG Map. The MCX zoning designation was created when the Zoning Code was amended in 1996. In accordance with Section 25-5-130, Hawaii County Zoning Code, this district would allow a mix of light industrial and commercial uses. The intent is to provide for areas of diversified businesses and employment opportunities by permitting a broad range of uses, without exposing non-industrial uses to unsafe and unhealthy environments. Based on the preceding, the proposed MCX zoning would be consistent with the Industrial designation on the LUPAG Map for this area of Hilo. MCX rezonings in the area include: • TMK: 2-2-035:001; 103, Ordinance No. 09 92 effective September 2, 2009, for change of zone from RS-10 to MCX-20. • TMK: 2-2-35: 63, Ordinance No.06 145 effective November 28, 2006 for change of zone from RS-10 to MCX-20. • TMK: 2-2-037: 041, Ordinance No.04 5, effective January 15, 2004 for change of zone from RS-10 to MCX-20. Despite the 1975 Hilo Community Development Plan's suggested residential designation, this area is transitioning to commercial and light industrial uses. Land uses in the immediate area are a mix of commercial, industrial and residential uses. The property is bordered to the north and west by residential properties zoned Single-Family Residential-10,000 square feet(RS-10). The area fronting Kekuanao`a Street is a mix of residential, commercial, and limited industrial including a gas station immediately adjacent and east of the subject site, thus the proposed change of zone would be consistent with the zoning/land uses in the area. The subject proposed rezone area consists of two contiguous parcels each consisting of 11,150 square feet for a combined area of 22,300 square feet. In order to -3- meet the minimum building site requirement of the requested MCX-20 zoning (minimum of 20,000 square feet), the two lots will need to be consolidated. Thus,the Director is recommending a condition requiring consolidation of the properties within one (1)year of the effective date of the change of zone ordinance or prior to the issuance of Final Plan Approval, whichever occurs first. Furthermore, the applicant is proposing to convert an existing single-family dwelling into an office building, which will require a change of use building permit. A condition of approval will require that all necessary building permits, including a change of use building permit for the existing single-family dwelling, shall be secured and finalized prior to the commencement of the proposed office use. All utilities and services are available to the site. The project site has frontage along both Kekuanao`a Street and Kalanikoa Street, which are two-lane,paved County roadways. The site is currently accessed via a single driveway to the existing single- family dwelling on Kalanikoa Street. Kekuanao`a Street is currently improved with 30 feet of pavement within a 40- foot-wide right-of-way in this area and is classified as a secondary arterial road by the Hilo Zone Map. Kalanikoa Street is currently improved with 22 feet of pavement within a 50-foot-wide right-of-way and is classified as a collector road with an existing right-of- way width of 50 feet by the Hilo Zone Map. As a collector street, Kalanikoa should have a total 60-foot-wide right-of-way (currently 50 feet), thus the Director is requiring the applicant to subdivide and dedicate a five(5) foot wide road widening strip to the County. As a secondary arterial, Kekuanao`a Street improvements should have a total 80- foot-wide right-of-way (currently 40 feet), which would require the applicant to subdivide and dedicate a 20-foot-wide future road widening strip to the County, however in this case, the Director is recommending a 10-foot-wide future road widening strip be provided to match other MCX and commercial zoning approvals along Kekuanao`a Street. The applicant proposes to access the site via a permitted full-access entry/exit along Kalanikoa Street and a limited(right-in, right-out) access from Kekflanao`a as -4- recommended by the Department of Public Works (DPW). The preceding will be added as a condition of approval. DPW recommends the applicant install full improvements to the entire Kalanikoa Street and Kekbanao`a Street frontages consisting of, but not limited to,pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk, drainage improvements, and any required utility relocation within the future road widening setback established by the Planning Department. Additionally, DPW recommends a minimum of 20-foot corner radius (property line)be provided at the intersection of Kekuanao`a Street and Kalanikoa Street and recommends that the applicant install streetlights and traffic control devices as may be required by the DPW-Traffic Division. The preceding will be added as a condition of approval. As the applicant is currently proposing to convert an existing dwelling into an office building, they have requested the DPW roadway improvement requirements outlined above be deferred to when a new structure is built on the property,preferring to integrate the cost of those improvements within the larger development project. The Planning Director is not inclined to support that request as there has been no representation that the applicant ever intends to construct a new building on the property, thus the improvements may never be made. The proposed office use is considered a permitted use in the MCX zoning district. Moreover, these improvements have been required of other landowners in similar rezonings fronting Kekuanao`a Street and are i appropriate for this type of zoning in urban Hilo. As such, the Director is recommending the improvements be similarly made prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. While the proposed office use will not generate the 50+peak hour vehicle trips to trigger a Traffic Impact Analysis Report(TIAR), a condition of approval will require a TZAR should the applicant develop a future land use that will generate over 50 peak hour trips. County water is available to the site via existing 8-inch waterlines within both Kekuanao`a Street and Kalanikoa Street, fronting the subject parcels and there is currently one (1) existing service lateral and one(1) existing 518-inch meter fronting both -5- parcels.DWS will determine the appropriate water commitment deposit,prevailing facilities charge, appropriate service lateral and meter size required once the applicant provides estimated maximum daily water usage calculations,prepared by a licensed engineer, for the proposed industrial-commercial use. The DWS also requires a reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly be installed. The preceding will be added as i conditions of approval_ According to DWS, the 8-inch waterlines within Kekuanao`a Street and Kalanikoa Street are inadequate to provide 2,000 GPM of flow for fire protection, as j required per the DWS Water System Standards for Industrial-Commercial Mixed zoning. i Any improvements required by the Fire Department and/or Department of Water Supply 'i to ensure that fire protection requirements are met shall be implemented. The preceding 'i will be added as conditions of approval. The subject properties are accessible to the County sewer and the existing dwelling is currently connected to the County's sewer line; therefore no sewer study is required at this time. However, at the time the applicant applies for a change of use permit for the existing structure and/or applies for building permits to construct another j structure, the Department of Environmental Management(DEM) may require the applicant to submit wastewater calculations from a certified engineer and the applicant may be required to make sewer improvements as the Director of DEM may reasonably require. Solid waste will be handled by commercial haulers. The project site has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be rectified, or which would render the land unusable. The properties are located within Zone "X", an area determined by FEMA to be an area of minimal flood hazard. All development-generated runoff shall be disposed of on site and shall not be directed toward any adjacent properties, with drainage improvements prescribed by a drainage study approved by DPW. The preceding will be added as conditions of approval. Electricity and telephone services are available to the property. Police, fire and medical services are available nearby in Hilo. The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The project site is located more than one mile -6- i i from the nearest shoreline and thus is situated outside of the Special Management Area and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the properties. No professional archaeological and cultural study was conducted of the properties as they have been in residential use since 1953. According to the applicant, no valued cultural, historical, or natural resources exist on the properties and there is no evidence of i any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site nor are there any known historic sites on the property as listed on the State or National Register of Historic Places. By letter dated July 7, 2021,the State Historic Preservation Division i (SHPD) determined that no historic properties would be affected by the proposed i rezoning. The standard inadvertent archaeological find condition will be added to this approval recommendation. No professional floral or faunal survey was conducted of the properties due to the long-time residential use of the properties and the urban character of the surrounding area. Flora on the property consists of lawn, and non-native trees and ornamental plants. Fauna in the area include introduced birds and mammals. Based on the preceding, the 4 applicant believes that it is unlikely that rare or endangered floral or faunal resources are { to be found within or proximate to the site. Lastly, this approval is made with the understanding that the applicant remains ,r responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements in 3 connection with the approved use,prior to its commencement or establishment upon the subject properties. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of building permits, the installation of approved wastewater disposal systems, compliance with the Fire Code, installation of improvements required by the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), among many others. Compliance with all applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this approval; failure to comply with such requirements will be considered a violation that may result in enforcement action by the Planning Department and/or the affected agencies. -7- Based on the preceding findings,the Director recommends approval of the change of zone request from a Single-Family Residential (RS-10) to an Industrial- Commercial Mixed (MCX-20) district. The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code, is provided for your favorable consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill. -8- �J Ar 1"1'1 ���, rn r- Z `ir�� .��,,�. �� ...
