PLANNING COMMISSION
25 AUPUNI STREET • HILO, HAWAII 96720
COUNTY OF
HAWAII
October 3, 1988
Honorable Stephen K. Yamashiro, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
County of Hawaii
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Dear Chairman Yamashiro and Members:
Rezoning Request - Marc A. Josepho, Et Al
Tax Map Key 7-4-8:Por. 2
The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on
September 27, 1988 voted to recommend for your approval the proposed
legislative bill to change the district classification for 0.778
acre of land from a Limited Industrial 1 -acre (ML -la) to a General
Industrial 1 -acre (MG -la) at Kailua-Kona, Keahuolu, North Kona,
Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's
reasons for initiating the change of zone:
The requested change conforms to the General Plan Land Use
Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map which designates the area
for Industrial uses. The requested General Industrial (MG)
zoning will also complement the appropriate goals, policies, and
standards of the General Plan.
The Industrial Element of the General Plan states that
there are ". . . two distinct types of industrial development.
One sector is service oriented and is affected by population and
the level of activity of other industries. The other sector is
mostly influenced by outside markets. The location of
industrial developments is important for many reasons. In the
case of service types of industrial development (non -basic),
areas designated for industrial uses must be close enough to
population and/or commercial areas for efficiencies but still
distant enough to avoid traffic and environmental problems.

Basic industrial development is usually found close to raw
products. Both kinds of industries are affected by the
availability of transportation facilities. Other factors
equally important are the existence of public utilities, the
cost of land, and internal and external circulation."
The rezoning action merely make the zoning consistent with
the adjacent lot (TMK: 7-4-15: 16) which the area under
consideration will be consolidated with. Therefore, it can be
concluded that this particular rezoning action is still
necessary to accommodate present and future industrial growth
and development of the Kona area.
In light of the already established industrial land use
pattern for this section of Kona, it is determined that the
granting of this particular request will still provide for an
orderly industrial development of the area. It will still
accomplish the intent of the General Plan of centralizing
industrial activities in given areas.
The request would also conform to the locational standards
of the Industrial Element of the General Plan which state that
"Industrial development shall be conveniently located to its
labor source," and "Industrial development shall be located in
areas adequately served by transportation, utilities, and other
amenities." The property is within close proximity to the major
transportation facilities, such as the airport, as well as to
the central commercial core and employment center of
Kailua-Kona. All essential utilities and services are available
to the area. It is therefore determined that the property also
conforms to the location criteria for identifying industrial
lands. It is further concluded that in granting this particular
request, we would still be implementing the General Plan
policies which states that "Through its zoning powers, the
County shall locate industrial areas convenient to
transportation facilities, and provide a variety of sizes of
industrial sites, depending on the needs of the community."
The property has no severe geologic or topographic problems
which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the
land unusable for the proposed use. As such, the request also
complements the General Plan which states that the "Topography
of industrial lands shall be reasonably level."
It is further determined that the granting of the request
would complement the General Plan goal of assuring the orderly

and Members of the County Council

development and use of industrial zoned areas. The rezoning of
this particular lot for its intended purpose would also
complement the policies of the Economic and Industrial Elements
of the General Plan which states that "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."
Based on the above, it is determined that the rezoning of
the property to a General Industrial (MG) zoned district would
still result in an appropriate land use pattern that will
further the public necessity and convenience and the general
welfare.
For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-87,
the North Kona Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
We are enclosing a copy of the application and a copy of the
staff background for your information.

APPLICANT'S REASONS FOR REQUESTING A CHANGE OF ZONE
The requested change of zone will be consistent with the
goals, policies, and courses of action of the General Plan for
the County of Hawaii due to the continuing need for industrial
zoned land serviced by adequate facilities.
The applicant's proposal contemplates simultaneous
amendment of rezoning Ordinance Nos. 84-9 and 88-5 (which
rezoned approximately 101.075 acres of TMK: 7-4-8:2 from
Unplanned (U) to Open (0) and Limited Industrial (ML -la)) by
deleting approximately 1+/- acre of the southeastern corner of
Parcel 2 from Ordinance Nos. 84-9 and 88-5 and simultaneously
rezoning that property to conform with the General Industrial
(MG -la) zoning of adjacent Parcel 7-4-15:16. Both the existing
General Industrial (MG -la) zoned area and the 1 -acre Limited
Industrial (ML -la) properties have recently been rezoned in
accordance with the County of Hawaii General Plan goals,
policies, and courses of action. The requested General
Industrial (MG -la) zoned district does conform with the General
Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map which
designates the property for Industrial uses.
The applicant has taken the preliminary steps toward
setting aside 20 feet of the southern boundary of TMK Parcel
7-4-15:16 for purposes of dedication to the County of Hawaii in
conjunction with the Kaiwi Street widening. The remainder of
Parcel 16 will be consolidated with the 1+/- acre portion of
Parcel 2 to create a new parcel. Simultaneously with the
rezoning request, the applicant is processing a Special
Management Area Use Permit application for the above properties
to amend the SMA boundary line to coincide with the northern
boundary of reconfigured TMK Parcel 7-4-15:16. The project
proposal will maintain the 50 -foot Open (0) zoning for the
future road widening of Queen Kaahumanu Highway pursuant to the
prior rezoning actions.
The draft Hawaii County General Plan (August 1987) states
that there are 3,858 acres of industrially zoned lands in the
County, 1,107 acres of which are vacant. The subject property
is located within the existing Kona Industrial Subdivision and
is immediately south of the Limited Industrial (ML -la) area
recently rezoned by the County through Ordinance Nos. 84-9 and
88-5. As such, the proposed rezoning would conform with the
existing industrial area which is serviced by adequate
community facilities and utilities. The proposed rezoning will
also facilitate industrial development in an area adequately
-2-
served by transportation, utilities and other amenities
provided in the prior industrial rezoning for the surrounding
properties. The agreement by the Liliuokalani Trust Estate to
grant the additional land for the Kaiwi Street roadway widening
will promote the General Plan objective of land development in
concert with programmed public. and privately funded
infrastructure to meet the industrial needs.
At the present time, the market demand for industrial land
within the Kailua-Kona region is strong, as evidenced by the
fact that approximately 60% of the industrial spaces in this
project have been tentatively committed. In light of the
growing resort development in the South Kohala and North Kona
areas, it is anticipated that demand for increased industrial
space will remain strong. The projected market demand for
industrial land which formed the basis for rezoning Ordinance
Nos. 84-9 and 88-5 has materialized and continues to grow.
Attached and incorporated herein as Exhibit "A" is the
December 6, 1983 Planning Commission recommendation to the
County Council in support of the industrial rezoning of TMK:
(3) 7-4-08:por. 2, Ordinance Nos. 84-9 and 88-5, which clearly
states the current justification for this rezoning request.
The present proposal results from the request by the County
of Hawaii Department of Public Works to provide approximately
20 lineal feet along the Kaiwi Street frontage of TMK 7-4-15:16
-3-
for the purpose of road widening and eventual dedication to the
County to alleviate the existing traffic access and congestion
problem. The Liliuokalani Trust Estate has already taken the
preliminary steps with the County Department of Public Works
and Planning Department to confirm that the Kaiwi Street
roadway easement will be dedicated to the County upon
completion of the pending consolidation/resubdivision proposal
for the above properties.

Honorable Stephen
and Members of the
County of Hawaii
25 Aupuni Street
Hilo, HI 96720
K. Yamashiro, Chairman
County Council
Dear Chairman Yamashiro and Members:
Rezoning Request - Kuakini Corporation
Tax Map Key: 7-4-08:Portion of 2
The Planning Commission, after a duly held public Nearing on
November 3, 1983, voted to recommend for your approval the proposed
legislative bill to change the district classification from an
Unplanned (U) to a Limited Industrial - 1 acre (ML -la) and an Open
(0) zoned district, at Kailua-Kona, Keahuolu, Nortn Kona, Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following findings as
recommended by the Planning Director:
The requested Limited Industrial - 1 acre (ML -la) zoned
district does conform to the General Plan Land Use Pattern
Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map which designates the property for
Industrial uses. The General Plan land use pattern for this
area was recently amended to reflect certain industrial uses' on
the property. The Open (0) zoned district will also complement
the Transportation element of the General Plan which calls for
the future increase to the right-of-way width of Queen Kaahumanu
Highway.
One of the basic policies of the General Plan's Industrial
element is that "Through its zoning powers, the County shall
locate industrial areas convenient to transportation facilities,
and provide a variety of sizes of industrial sites, depending on
the needs of the community.' We nave determined that there
definitely is a great demand and need for additional lands, botn
DEC 6^-�
s
Honorable Stephen K. yamashiro, Chairman
and Members of the County Council

in fee and leasehold, to accommodate present and future
industrial activities for the Kona area.
Kona's demands for additional industrial lands are
basically to provide for service-oriented or supportive
industries. Within the Kona area, there are approximately 1,400
acres of industrial zoned lands, which include the Keahole
Airport and Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii (NELH) areas and
the existing Kona Industrial Subdivision. However, excluding
the lands at Keahole Airport and NELH, only about 16 acres of
industrial zoned lands are vacant of any uses.-
Recently,
ses.
Recently, the Planning Commission recommended the approval
of the rezoning of approximately 126 acres of land in the
vicinity of the Honoxohau Small Boat Harbor to a similar ML -la
zoned district. The proposal for tl:at area, however, is to
create fee simple industrial lots. The property under
consideration, however, will be marKeted on a leasehold basis.
According to the 1980 Census figures, Kona is one of the
fastest growing areas in the County of Hawaii in terms of
population. We anticipate that this growth trend will continue
in the years to come. As an area grows, there will be a demand
for additional lands for industrial uses. Since tnese types of
land are currently limited, it is determined that the granting
of this particular request for its intended purposes is
warranted to accommodate the present and future expansion of
service-oriented industrial activities for the Kona area.
Moreover, there will be further opportunities for
industrial expansion with the development of the South Kohala
resort destination areas. The development of these resort areas
will require construction activity, as well as the normal
operation of their facilities, both of which will require
storage, wholesaling, and Dusiness and repair services, which
could be supplied by Kona -based operations.
It is therefore felt that the subject location for a
potential industrial development could provide for the demand of
additional industrial lands for present and future needs. In
providing such lands for present and future industrial
activities we would be in the direction of fulfilling some of
the policies of the Economic and Industrial elements of the
General Plan which basically state that "The County of Hawaii
shall strive for diversification of its economy by strengthening
existing industries and attracting new endeavors" and that "Tne
I
Honorable Stephen K. Yamashiro, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 3 '
County of Hawaii shall strive for an economic climate which
provides its residents an opportunity for choice of
occupation." The granting of this particular request would also
complement the specific course of action cf the Economic element
which, in essence, states that the County hail explore the
possibility of encouraging new industries in the Kona area.
Based on the above, it is also felt that the provision of
additional industrial -zoned lands is reasonably necessary to
accommodate growth and development from an overall regional
standpoint.
It should be noted that the subject property is not located
within any known potential flood hazard area. Therefore, the
potential of damages from flood action should be minimal, if at
all. Because of the distance of the subject area from the
shoreline, the proposed development is not expected to have
substantial adverse impact on the coastal ecosystem. Further,
any visual impact the proposed development may create, these can
be mitigated through existing regulations and further
requirements or conditions of approval. As statea as a policy
and standard of the Industrial el—Ement of the General Plan, "The
County shall attempt to improve aesthetic quality of industrial
sites and protect amenities of adjacent areas by requiring
landscaping, open spaces, and buffer zones," and that "Buffer
zones shall be established between industrial and adjacent
non -compatible uses of land."
Location -wise, the property will also provide a needed
industrial expansion area adjacent to the existing Kona
Industrial Subdivision. Therefore, from a localized, as well as
from a regional standpoint, the proposed location would fit into
the overall growth management plan for this sector or region of
Kona.
All essential utilities and services are or will be made
available to the subject property. The transportation networks,
which include the roadways, are also sufficiently adequate to
accommodate the proposed development. As part of its
development, the petitioner will De required to provide certain
intersection improvements, including the construction of a
channelized intersection with acceleration, deceleration, and
left -turn storage lanes at the Queen Kaanumanu Highway. It is
felt tnat with the provision of these roadwav improvements, the
goals of the Transportation element of the General Plan which
states to "Provide a transportation system whereby people and
Honorable Stephen
and Members of the
Page 4
R. Yamashiro, Chairman
County Council
goods can move efficiently, safely, comfortably and
economically" would be implemented.
The granting of the request would also complement the
policies and standards of the Land Use and Industrial elements
of the General Plan which states to "Zone urzan-type uses in
areas with ease of access to community services and employment
center and with adequate public utilities and facilities"; tnat
"Through its zoning powers, the County shall locate industrial
areas convenient to transportation facilities, and provide a
variety of sizes of industrial sites, depending on the needs of
the community"; and that "Industrial development shall be
located in areas adequately served by transportation, utilities,
and amenities."
Based on the reasons presented above, the Planning
Commission has concluded to at the requested zone change is
warranted.
For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-87
of the North Rona Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
We are enclosing a copy of the application and a copy of the
staff background for your information.

TIME: 1:30 p.m.
Chairman and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 648,
regarding the rezoning request of Marc A. Josepho, Et Al,
Kailua-Kona, Keahuolu, North Kona, Hawaii, TMK: 7-4-8:Por. 2,
reports as follows:
Bill No. 648 amends Section 25-87, Article 3, Chapter 25 of the
Hawaii County Code, by changing the district classification of
0.778 acre of land from Limited Industrial (ML -la) to
General Industrial (MG -la).
.The subject property is located in the Kona Industrial Subdivision.
The applicant plans to consolidate the subject property with an
existing General Industrial zoned lot to create a 3.4 -acre lot.
According to the Planning Department, the applicant plans to
construct three new industrial warehouses on the proposed 3.4 acre.
Two of the warehouses will be one story in height and contain 8,750
and 10,500 square feet of useable space. The third building will be
two stories and consist of 17,500 square feet (10,500 square feet on
the first floor and 7,000 square feet on the second.) The applicants
will provide 107 parking stalls and four loading and unloading spaces.
Councilwoman Lorraine Jitchaku-Inouye inquired about traffic patterns
on Kaiwi Street, near the subject property. The Planning Director
and the applicant's representative informed your Committee that
access to the property will be off Lukia Street and that no accesses
will be permitted off either Queen Kaahumanu Highway or
Kaiwi Street. To insure against improper accesses, a 10 -foot wide
planting easement is being required along Kaiwi Street and the area
along Queen Kaahumanu Highway, which is currently zoned Open (0) will
be retained as a planting easement.
A Kaiwi Street right-of-way runs through the subject property. The—
applicant is being required to deed the right-of-way to the County.
Councilwoman Jitchaku-Inouye suggested that the Committee Chairman
write to the Department of Transportation to inquire as to whether
the department has any plans to improve the traffic pattern at the
Queen Kaahumanu Highway-Kaiwi Street intersection.
The property is not within the boundaries of the Kailua Village
Special District.
The General Plan designates the property for Industrial use. The
State Land Use designation is Urban:
Water and all essential utilities are readily available to the
property. PC REPORT N0,
ADOPTED:
