(Bill 221) AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 25-8-26 (PAHOA ZONE MAP), ARTICLE 8,
CHAPTER 25 (ZONING CODE) OF THE HAWAII COUNTY CODE 1983
(2005 EDITION), BY CHANGING THE DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION FROM

(Aonlicant: Timothv Lvnn Gardner) (Area: 3.317 acres)
From Mayor Harry Kim, dated January 24, 2006, transmitting the above bills and the
Planning Director's letter and enclosures. The Planning Commission sends an unfavorable
recommendation to the County Council and agrees with the Planning Director's reasons for
the unfavorable recommendation. The reclassification from the State Land Use
Agricultural to the Urban District will not conform to Section 205-2, Chapter 205, Hawaii
Revised Statutes (HRS), the Hawaii Land Use Commission Rules, the Hawaii State Plan
and the County General Plan; and the change of zone from Agricultural 1-acre to Industrial-
Commercial Mixed 1-acre to develop aself-storage facility, is contrary to the Land Use
goals and policies of the General Plan, and would not result in an appropriate land use
pattern nor further the public convenience, necessity and general welfare.
Postponed July 6, 2006
Postponed August 21, 2006
