Dear Mr. Saunders:
Nonsignificant Zoning Change (NZC 97-1)
Tax Map Key' 1-6-143.38
This is to acknowledge receipt of the revision to your original
request and the notification to the surrounding property owners.
With the submission of the revised information and the
notification, we are now able to complete the processing of your
request for a determination of a nonsignificant zoning change in
accordance with Section 25-2-45, Chapter 25, Hawaii County Code,
as amended, and the Planning Department's Rule 8.
W.H. Shipman, Limited is requesting that the Planning Director
make a determination of a nonsignificant zoning change for the
reclassification of a 2,310-square foot area from a Single Family
Residential - 15,000 square foot (RS-15) district to a Village
Commercial - 10,000 square foot (CV-10) district. The requested
area is part of a 1.068-acre (46,522-square foot) parcel,
identified by Tax Map Key 1-6-143:38. The area under
consideration is located approximately 500 feet, east of the Pili
Mua Street-Old Volcano Road intersection and adjacent to the
Keaau Police Station, Keaau Village, Keaau, Puna. W.H. Shipman,
Limited is also the owner of the surrounding properties and
intends to develop a small commercial center. The 2,310-square
foot area will be incorporated into this commercial center
through a consolidation and resubdivision action with Tax Map Key
1-6-143:5, 6, 7 and 8. The applicant contends that the inclusion
of the 2,310-square foot area would make for a better
configuration of the commercial center property.

Upon review of the request, we have determined that it complies
with the criteria for a nonsignificant zoning change. The State
Legislature enacted the nonsignificant zoning change legislation
to accommodate situations as presented in this request. The
request will conform to the following criteria set forth in
Section 25-2-45, Chapter 25, Hawaii County Code, as amended:
1. The area under consideration is consistent with the
General Plan which designates the area for Medium
Density Urban development. Such a designation will
allow village commercial uses.
2. The inclusion of the 2,310-square foot area will not
result in a net increase in the density of the Village
Commercial (CV-10) district.
3. The 2,310-square foot area is less than 5 percent of
the total land area of entire parcel (1.068 acres or
46,522 square feet) and is less than one acre in size.
Based on the above, the Planning Director has determined that the
request qualifies as a nonsignificant zoning change, and that the
2,310-square foot area is hereby administratively amended to a
Village Commercial - 10,000 square foot (CV-10) district.
Should you have any questions regarding the determination, please
feel free to contact us at 961-8288.
incerely,
