Your Committee on Planning. to which was referred Bill No. 1 11, transmitted by Mayor
Barry Kim per Communication No. 250, dated May 9, ?003, regarding the change of cone request
by ~iray~a ~rntlaers ;El~etrisal, I~ae. at Waiakea, South Hilo. I-Iawai'i TMK: 2-2-35: ;1,
reports as follows:
Bill No. 111 amends Ordinance No. 91-38, which reclassified 11,450 square feet of land from a
Single Family Residential (RS-10) to a Limited Industrial (ML-10) zoned district. Bill No. 1 I 1
proposes to amend Conditions B and D (Final Plan ~~lpproval and required roadway
improvements). The original change of zone request enabled the applicant to remove and/or
demolish an existing dwelling and construct an approximately 4,800 square foot building
consisting of a warehouse and office on the subject parcel. I-Iowever, the plans never materialized
and no activity has taken place on the site.
In 2000, the former owner/applicant, David Okano, sold the subject parcel to
Mel-Brian T. ~Iirayama, who operators an electrical business on the adjoining parcel.
Mr. I-Iirayama resides on the, subject property in the exiling dwelling and wishes to expand the
dwelling in order to utilize it as a watchman or custodian quarters for the business.
On December 5, 2002, the Planning Department informed the applicant that the existing dwelling
is a non conforming use a~-rd cannot he expanded, unless it is used for caretaker purposes. On
,lanua~y 17, ?003, the Planning Department informed the applicant that the expansion of the
existing dwelling would be allo~~~ed if the subject property were consolidated with the adjoining lot
where the business is, so an application to consolidate parcels 31 and 99 was submitted on
February 18, 2003.
The rectangular shaped property, located in~aiakea House Lots lies on the west side ofKalanikoa
Street approximately 100 feet north of its intersection with Ilualani Street. Because the County
Toning Code was revised since the original rezoning was approved, compliance with all applicable
requirements such as setback, height and landscaping is required. All other utilities and services
are available to the site.
The request would not adversely impact the industrial land use pattern in the Waiakea 1-louselots
area. The granting of this request would not be contrary to the original reasons for granting the
change of zone request.
Communication 250
Bill 111

Your Committee concurs with the Planning Commission and the Planning Director for
reconunending a favorable consideration for the change of zone request_ which would result in an
appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the public. Your Committee also notes that a
statement in the cover letter from the Planning Commission stating "In addition, to provide ample
time to submit plans for Final Plan Approval, it is recommended that Condition B be amended to
state afive-year time period to secure Final Plan Approval instead of the current one-year time
period." was inadvertently included because it is not pertinent to this measure.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose of Bill No. 1 I I. and
recommends it pass first reading.
