Re: Comm. No. 157/Bill No. 30
Your Committee on Legislative Approvals and Acquisitions, to which was referred Bill No. 30,
reports as follows:
Bill No. 30, transmitted by Managing Director William V. Brilhante, Jr., via Communication No. 157,
dated February 18, 2025, amends Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), Article 8, Chapter 25
(Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as amended), by changing the Zone
Map Classification from Single -Family Residential — 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Neighborhood
Commercial — 10,000 square feet (CN-10) at Waidkea, South Hilo, Hawaii, covered by Tax Map
Key: 2-2-036:113. (Applicant: Jack Vanderhoff, Jr. and Sau-Yin Yeung) (Area: 19,500 square feet).
The Windward Planning Commission forwards its favorable recommendation for the requested change
of zone, which would allow the applicant to convert the existing dwelling to use as an accounting
business office. This property is located at 900 Manono Street.
Planning Director Jeffrey Darrow; Planning Consultant Daryn Arai; and the applicant, Jack
Vanderhoff, were present in Chambers.
Mr. Darrow provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding the change of zone application.
Council Member Jenn Kagiwada expressed concern of the neighbors being sufficiently notified, and if
some of the permitted activities in the Neighborhood Commercial District might be disruptive to the
residential properties in the area.
Bill 30 was amended with the contents of Communication No. 157.2, which was introduced by
Committee Chair Heather L. Kimball and approved with eight "ayes," with Committee Member Matt
Kdneali`i-Kleinfelder absent.
Your Committee on Legislative Approvals and Acquisitions is in accord with the purpose and intent
of Bill No. 30, as amended to Draft 2, and recommends its passage on first reading.
