No. 518/13ill No. 85 <br />Your Committee on Legislative Approvals and Acquisitions, to which was referred Bill No. 85, reports <br />as follows: <br />Bill No. 85, transmitted by Mayor Mitchell D. Roth, via Communication No. 518, dated September 20, <br />2023, amends Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning) of the Hawaii <br />County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as Amended), by changing the District Classification from <br />Agricultural — 3 Acres (A-3 a) to Family Agricultural — 1 Acre (FA -1 a) at Hilo, Hawaii, covered by <br />Tax Map Key: 2-2-048:092. <br />The Windward Planning Commission forwards its favorable recommendation for this change of <br />zone request, which would allow the applicant to subdivide the property into two lots, each <br />approximately 1.4 acres in size to accommodate existing single-family dwellings. The property is <br />located at 605 Makalika Street, approximately 540 feet southeast (mauka) of its intersection with <br />Railroad Avenue. <br />Planning Consultant Daryn Arai appeared with Tyler Kaneshiro, son of the applicant, and gave a <br />brief overview of this project and explained that this zoning request is for estate planning purposes. <br />Planning Director Zendo Kern appeared and responded to several inquiries from the Council <br />Members. Mr. Kern explained that this request is consistent with the General Plan. <br />This bill was amended with the contents of Communication No. 518. 1, introduced by Council <br />Member Holeka Inaba, which added a five-year requirement to secure final subdivision approval. <br />Your Committee on Legislative Approvals and Acquisitions is in accord with the purpose and intent <br />of Bill No. 85, as amended to Draft 2, and recommends its passage on first reading. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATIVE <br />APPROVALS AND ACQUISITIONS <br />G <br />HOLEKA GORO INABA, CHAIR <br />LAAC REPORT NO.: 37 <br />ADOPTED: NOV 0 1 2023 <br />AYES NOES ABS EX <br />EVANS <br />X <br />GALIMBA <br />X <br />INABA <br />X <br />KAGIWADA <br />X <br />KANEALFI-KLEINFELDER <br />X <br />KIERKIEWICZ <br />X <br />KIMBALL <br />X <br />LEE LOY <br />X <br />VILLEGAS <br />X <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATIVE <br />APPROVALS AND ACQUISITIONS <br />G <br />HOLEKA GORO INABA, CHAIR <br />LAAC REPORT NO.: 37 <br />ADOPTED: NOV 0 1 2023 <br />
