Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
County of Hawaii
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, HI 96720
Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members:
Change of Zone Application (REZ 02-008)
Applicant: Beatrice C. Choy Family Ltd.
Request: Limited Industrial (ML-20) to
Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use (MCX-20)
Tax Mata Kev: 2-2-32:.95
The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on May 17, 2002, voted to
recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to change the district classification for
approximately 71,483 square feet of land from Limited Industrial (ML-20) to
Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use (MCX-20). The property is located at the southern corner of
Kanoelehua Avenue and Kuawa Street, Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending
favorable consideration of the change of zone:
The subject property is developed with the Waiakea Square complex which
consists of two structures with approximately 27,041 square feet of floor space and 86
parking stalls. The owner seeks to strengthen their marketing position of the existing
Waiakea Square by allowing a greater range of uses that would be allowed on the subject
property -particularly those relating to retail and commercial activities. The proposed
MCX-20 zoning designation would allow for industrial-commercial mixed uses on the
subject property. Further, the existing mix of tenants would conform to the MCX-20
zoning and would not be negatively impacted by the zoning change. The existing nine
(9) tenants include Fiascos Restaurant/Lounge, Lani's Beauty Salon, Goodwill Industries
of Hawaii, Mail With Us, Hyla Hawaii, Big Island Harley Rentals, Koreana Restaurant &
Lounge, Rent-A-Center, and Hawaiian Hardwoods.
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
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 2
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 be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the
County, but ultimately, on the future development of the whole island.
The proposed change of zone request from aLimited-Industrial (ML-20) to
Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use (MCX-20) district classification would further the
County's goals of providing an economic environment which allows new or existing
businesses to expand and diversify the County's economic base, and thereby also increase
the choice of occupations.
The proposed request would be consistent with the following goals and policies of
the General Plan Economic Element.
Economic Element
* 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 new, expanded,
or improved economic opportunities that are compatible with the County's natural
and social environment.
* The County of Hawaii shall strive for an economic climate which provides its
residents an opportunity for choice of occupation.
The applicant's objective recognizes the growing development needs for the
region. The applicant seeks to provide the community with further commercial,
industrial and community facilities, which take advantage of the site's positive physical
and locational attributes. By targeting the project area for commercial and industrial
mixed development, the applicant is seeking to meet the urban expansion needs in a
manner that is in concert with the long-range community plans as expressed in the
County General Plan.
The proposed change of zone request would also be consistent with the Land Use
Element of the General Plan. 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
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 3
and guidance of publicly and privately owned resources. It is also 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 Land Use
goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands in the County in the
best interest of the island's residents. These state the following under the Land Use
Element:
* Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in
keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County.
* Zone urban- and rural-types of uses in areas with ease of access to community
services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities.
* Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected
needs of neighborhood, community, region and County.
* The County shall encourage the development and maintenance of communities
meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social
environment.
* Zoning request shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation, district
goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent zoned
uses, availability of public services and utilities, access and public need.
The proposed request would also complement the following goals, policies and
course of action of the Commercial Element.
* Provide for commercial developments that maximize convenience to users.
* Provide commercial developments that complement the overall pattern of
transportation and land usage within the island's regions, communities and
neighborhoods.
* Commercial facilities shall be developed in areas adequately served by necessary
services, such as water, utilities, sewers and transportation systems.
* Distribution of commercial areas shall be such as to best meet the demands of
neighborhood, community and regional needs.
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page ~
* The development of commercial facilities should be designed to fit into the locale
with minimal intrusion while providing the desired services. Appropriate
infrastructure and design concerns shall be incorporated into the review of such
developments.
The proposed request would also complement the following goals and policies of
the Industrial Element:
* Designate and allocate industrial areas in appropriate proportions and in keeping
with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County.
* It shall be the policy of the County to achieve a broader diversification of local
industries by providing opportunities for new industries and strengthening
existing industries.
* Through its zoning powers, the County shall locate industrial areas convenient to
transportation facilities, and provide a variety of industrial zoned districts and lot
sizes, depending on the needs of the industries and the communities.
* Industrial development shall be located in areas adequately served by
transportation, utilities and other amenities. Redeveloping or newly developing
areas shall be developed in concert with programmed public and privately funded
infrastructure to meet the expected needs.
* Topography of industrial land shall be reasonably level.
* Industrial development shall be conveniently located to its labor resource.
* Buffer zones shall be established between industrial and adjacent non compatible
uses of land.
* The County shall identify sites suitable for future industrial activities.
The project area is situated adjacent to existing MCX-20 zoned lands, and is within the
vicinity of commercial and industrial uses. The project area is well served by existing
infrastructure and roadway systems.
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
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 5
Industrial. This industrial designation includes uses such as manufacturing and
processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities and light industrial
uses. This request is consistent with the Industrial designation on the LL'PAG Map for
this area of Hilo. The proposed site would be suitable and allow for the applicant's
proposed mixed industrial commercial uses. As the existing zoning in this area is a mix
of ML-20, MCX-20 and CN-10, this rezoning reclassification would be a reasonable
expansion of commercial -industrial activities and the existing uses in the area. Further,
this proposed industrial-commercial mixed development will provide the framework of a
concentration of urban activities occurring in an orderly manner and as reflected with the
creation of the MCX zoning designation.
Adjacent lands to the west are zoned MCX-20 where Hilo Self-Storage and
Business Center is located on TMK: 2-2-32:101. Also adjacent to the west on ML-20
zoned lands is Del's Farm Supply. To the south are lands zoned General Industrial
(ML-20) and where Jack's Tours was previously located. Across the street along Kuawa
Street are lands zoned CN-10 where the Waiakea Kai Shopping Plaza (which includes the
Fun Factory, McDonald's Restaurant and other retail establishments) is located,. Thy
Word Ministries is located adjacent to the Waiakea Kai shopping Plaza on lands zoned
ML-20. Adjacent to the west, also along Kuawa Street is the Morning Dew Lounge on
MCX-20 zoned lands.
The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP) adopted in 1975 suggests the
retention of industrial zoned lands in this area. The advantage of this area is its location
in close proximity to water, air transportation terminals, harbor facilities and the
residential population of Hilo, The proposed change of zone would complement the
existing industrial and commercial land uses and will provide for an orderly development
of the area.
The MCX zoning designation is a relatively new zoning district that was created
when the Zoning Cody was amended in 1996. In accordance with Section 25-5-130,
Hawaii County Zoning Code, this district would allow a mix of 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.
The project site is situated within close proximity to schools, commercial areas,
employment centers and public safety services. Lands located within this -area are zoned
CN-10, MCX-20 and ML-20. The project site is located approximately two miles from
the Hilo urban center where police, fire and emergency medical services are available.
All utilities and services which are essential to accommodate urban development
are or will be made available to the project site. Water is available to the site through an
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 6
existing 1-1/2 inch water meter. However, according to the Department of Water Supply,
29 more units are being used than the existing meter allows. Therefore, the applicant
shall provide the maximum daily water usage as recommended by a registered engineer
to be submitted to the Department of Water Supply for review and approval. Further, a
backflow preventer shall also be installed in accordance with the Department of Water
Supply requirements. A condition shall be included to require all water improvements to
be constructed in accordance with the Department of Water Supply requirements within
one year from the effective date of the change of zone. The Department of Public Works
has informed us that there are outstanding building permits, many of which are permits
related to interior renovations proposed by previous tenants. The applicant has stated
that they are working with the Building Division to resolve these permits. Further, in the
interest of public safety, roadway improvements along the entire frontage of Kuawa
Street are being required to provide this development with the appropriate level of road
improvements to accommodate an existing MCX development. Final Plan Approval
shall be secured from the Planning Department, which shall include a review of any
change in parking requirements. Further, due to the fact that the project site has been
fully developed, best efforts shall be made to comply with landscaping requirements.
Finally, the applicant has informed that existing tenants utilize private waste disposal
services. All other utilities and services are available to the subject property.
The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be
rectified or which would render the land unusable. The property is located within Zone
X, area determined to be outside the 500-year flood plain. All development generated
storm run-off shall be disposed of on-site and not allowed onto adjacent properties or
roadways. Any further improvements to the property must comply with Chapter 27 of
the County Code relating to Flood Hazard Control. Due to the fact that the property has
been fully developed, no rare or endangered plants or animals nor any archaeological
sites are anticipated to be found on the subject property.
Based on the above findings, approval of this change of zone request from Limited
Industrial (ML-20) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use (MCX-20) zoned district would result
in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the general public.
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 that Section 2 of the draft bill has been expanded to include a rationale
for supporting conditions which are not normally included in a change of zone request, in
particular, the requirement on water and roadway improvements to support the level of services
for an industrial-commercial development and to mitigate potential impacts upon public facilities
and infrastructure servicing the affected area. Please note the proposed conditions of approval
attached to the draft bill.

CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION (IaEZ 02-008)
;$EATIZICE C. CIIOY FAlO~IILY LTD. has submitted an application for a Change of
Zone by changing the district classification from Limited Industrial (ML-20) to Industrial-
Commercial Mixed (MCX-20) for approximately 71,483 square feet of land. The project site is
located at the southern corner of Kanoelehua Avenue and Kuawa Street, Waiakea, South Hilo,
Hawaii, TMK: 2-3-32: 95.
GENERAL INFOIt1VIATION

PI20POSED 1)EYELOPIVIENT
2. Izequest: The applicant is requesting to change the district classification from Limited
Industrial (ML-20) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX-20) for approximately 71,483
square feet of land.
3. Objectives: The subject property is developed with the Waiakea Square complex which
consists of two structures with approximately 27, 041 square feet of floor space and 86
parking stalls. The owner seeks to strengthen their marketing position of the existing
Waiakea Square by allowing a greater range of uses that would be allowed on the subject
property -particularly those relating to retail and commercial activities.
4. Tenants: The existing mix of tenants would conform to the MCX zoning designation.
Therefore, the zoning change from ML-20 to MCX-20 would not negatively impact
existing tenants and would be an appropriate zoning designation. There are nine (9)
leaseable spaces with the following tenants occupying the Waiakea Square:
A. Fiascos Restaurant/Lounge
B. Lani's Beauty Salon
C. Goodwill Industries of Hawaii

1978. Various uses have been established over the years. Original parking requirements
were determined at the time of construction. Current Plan Approval within the Planning
Department files indicate that there are 86 parking stalls. According to the existing
Zoning Code, retail or commercial uses including MCX zoning would require one
parking stall for every 300 square feet of gross floor area. According to the applicant,
there is approximately 27,041 square feet of floor area. This floor area would require
approximately 90 parking stalls. The applicant would be required to comply with parking
requirements, including Amercian Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Based on the
approximately 90 stalls that would be required, four (4) of those shall be parking for
persons with disabilities. Plans submitted with the application indicate 86 parking stalls
plus 4 parking stalls for persons with disabilities.
6. Plan Approval/Landscaping: Should the change of zone be approved, Plan Approval
review would be required. Further, landscaping requirements, although not originally
required during the time that the building was constructed in 1978, are now required
through Planning Department Rule 17. A majority of the subject property has been
developed with the existing buildings and paved for parking. Landscaping requirements
would also be need to be reviewed and complied with in a reasonable way.

We have reviewed the subject application and our comments and requirements follow.
For your information, this parcel has an existing account with us. The average daily water use for the last two
years is 54 units or 29 units more that the existing 1 %2 -inch meter is allowed and the meter has been replaced
two times since 1990. For these two reasons, we ask that the anticipated maximum daily water usage as
recommended by a registered engineer be submitted to the Department for review and approval. The
Department reserves the right to make a final determination.
In addition, as a condition of approval, the Department of Water Supply will require the installation of a
backflow preventer (reduced pressure type) by a licensed contractor on the applicant's property just after the
meter. The installation and assembly of the backflow preventer must be inspected and approved by the
Department. The backflow preventer shall be operated and maintained by the customer. A copy of our
backflow preventer handout is being forwarded to the applicant to help them understand this requirement.
If there are any questions, please contact our Water Resources and Planning Branch at 961-8070, extension 1.
Sincerely yours,
Milton D. Pavao, P.E.
