Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 148, transmitted by Mayor Stephen
K. Yamashiro per Communication No. 531, dated October 8, 1997, regarding the change of zone
request by William V. Brilhante at Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii, TMK 2-2-35:91, reports as
follows:
Bill No. 148 amends Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning
Code) by changing the district classification for approximately 10,525 squaze feet of land from
Single Family Residential (RS-10) to Limited Industrial (ML-10) zoned district.
The subject property is located at the northwest corner of Kanoelehua Avenue and Hualani Street
intersection where the applicant intends to construct a 2,000 square foot single story building
with businesses such as a photographic processing, air conditioning, and financial institutions.
The landowner of the subject property is First Hawaiian Bank Trust of which William V.
Brilhante is the Trustee.
The subject property, rectangulaz in shape, has an existing single family dwelling which will be
replaced with the new one-story building.
Primary access for the proposed development of the subject property is from Kanoelehua
Avenue, a state highway, under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Transportation. The
subject property is also bordered along the south by Hualani Street, a 40-foot wide County right-
of-way with an approximate 19-foot wide pavement in good condition, with a 2-foot wide
grassed shoulder on the north side and no shoulder on the south side.
Water is available to the subject property through an existing 12-inch waterline along
Kanoelehua Avenue and an existing 6-inch waterline along Hualani Street fronting the subject
property. The applicant will connect to existing sewer lines available from a collector line along
Hualani Street.
Surrounding uses neaz the subject property are single family residences, multiple family
residences, retail stores, bank institutions, offices and restaurant establishments, wazehouses,
service stations, and parcels zoned ML-20. Harper Car and Truck Rentals of Hawaii, which was
recently zoned from RS-10 to ML-20, is an adjacent property to the north of the proposed
development.
PC REPORT N0: 3
PC-78 Page 2 November 4, 1997
Because the subject property has been developed, no endangered or threatened species of floral
or fauna nor any archaeological sites are anticipated to be found on the subject property.
The subject area has no severe topographic or geologic problems which cannot be properly
rectified or which would render the land unusable for the proposed use.
Your Committee concurs with the following reasons by the Planning Commission and the
Planning Director for recommending a favorable consideration for the change of zone request:
1. The zone request conforms with the goals, policies and standards of the General
Plan.
2. The zone request is consistent with General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation
Guide (LUPAG) Map which designates the area for Industrial.
3. All essential services and utilities, including water, wastewater and roadways will
be provided.
There was no discussion.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose of Bill No. 148 and
recommends that it pass first reading.
