25 AUPUNI STREET • HILO, HAWAII 96720
COUNTY OF
HAWAII
September 20 , 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 - Glenmore Trust Investment
Tax Map Key 7-5-22 :43 and 44
The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on
August 30, 1988 voted to recommend for your approval the proposed
legislative bill to change the district classification for 15,054
square feet of land from a Multiple Family Residential - 1,000
square foot (RM-1) to a Village Commercial - 7, 500 square foot
(CV-7 . 5) zoned district at Kailua Village, North Kona, Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director' s
reasons for initiating the change of zone:
The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map (LUPAG)
component of the General Plan is a representation of the
document' s goals, policies, standards , and courses of
actions. It is also a graphic depiction of the physical
relationships among the various land uses. The LUPAG map
establishes the basic land use pattern for areas within the
County. The LUPAG map designates the property for Medium
Density Urban Development. Such a designation may allow
commercial uses.
An evaluative corollary to the LUPAG map is the policy
analysis approach. 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 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 also be
considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the
County.
The requested change of zone conforms to the General
Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map which
designates the area for Medium Density Urban Development.
Such a designation may allow Village and Neighborhood
commercial uses. For the Kailua Village Special District
area, the LUPAG Map provides for the concentration of urban
activities with development occurring in an orderly manner
commensurate with the provision of the necessary
infrastructure. The General Plan LUPAG map has designated
the High Density and Medium Density core to extend from
Palani Road south to Lunapule Road and from Kuakini Highway
up to the Queen Kaahumanu Highway. The property is within
this established core area and as such is in close proximity
to Kailua Village and other commercial retail activities in
the area. It is therefore determined that the request is
consistent with the urban form depicted on the LUPAG Map as
the area would be an extension of the established commercial
core for the village of Kailua.
In order to accommodate the demand additional commercial
land, other zoned areas within the designated medium density
core must be considered. However, such expansion should
occur in conformance with the General Plan Land Use pattern
as discussed previously. Since this property is within the
area earmarked for medium density urban uses, it is
determined the request will help to provide adequate
commercial areas for the needs of Kailua Village in a
concentrated manner consistent with the goals, policies and
land use pattern expressed in the General Plan.
The request would be consistent with the urban form
depicted for Kailua Village in that it would add commercial
uses serving the entire village in a central location and in
close proximity to other similar services. Thus, the
approval of the request is anticipated to strengthen the
existing commercial core in addition to providing services to
the community. In this regard the approval of the subject
request would be consistent with the General Plan Commercial
Policy which states that the "Distribution of commercial
areas shall be such as to best meet the demands of
neighborhood, community and regional needs. "

The Kona Regional Plan and the Kailua Village Design
Plan is intended to provide short and middle range
implementation strategies for the goals, policies, and land
use pattern presented in the General Plan. While the land
use maps for these documents suggests that the area be
designated for General Commercial and Residential uses
respectively, it also recognizes basic problems associated
with the existing commercial development. One is the
potential growth of the West Hawaii district with the major
resort developments in the South Kohala and North Kona
districts and the commercial needs to be created by this
growth. The necessity of providing areas which will support
the commercial needs have to be addressed. In anticipation
of this, the General Plan recognized that it was necessary to
designate specific areas in which this anticipated
development would occur. The proposed change of zone would
be implementing the General Plan with respect to this
premise. Therefore, we have determined that the properties
are within this designated commercial core of Kailua
Village. The Kona Regional Plan which was adopted in 1984
stated that "It should be clearly noted that the Kona
Regional Plan is intended to be used as a guide to help the
nature of future land use actions by both the public and
private sectors. It is not, however, intended to function in
a regulatory manner mandating compliance. While it assists
in making zoning decisions, it is not the zoning map. "
Although the Kona Regional Plan and the Kailua Village Design
Plan which were adopted in 1984 and 1976 respectively by the
Planning Commission suggest that area for general commercial
and residential uses, it is felt that the area in question is
compatible to be used for the uses within the Medium Density
category. The inclusion of this area with the requested
Commercial zoning would therefore not exclude any residential
development of this area but is anticipated to be compatible
with its surrounding residential development. Therefore, the
requested change of zone would still complement the goals and
policies of the General Plan and both plans as it will tend
to concentrate commercial developments as well as be
compatible with existing residential developments in the
Kailua Village area.
The Commercial element of the General Plan also states
that commercial facilities shall be developed in areas
adequately served with essential services such as water,
other utilities, and transportation systems. The area is
provided with all of these essential utilities. A condition
Honorable Stephen K. Yamashiro, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 4
of the change of zone will be for the petitioner to provide
all of the necessary curb, gutter, sidewalk and pavement
improvements along the frontage of the subject property.
Thus, with the provision of these essential infrastructure,
it is determined that the request also complements this
policy of the General Plan.
Based on the above reasons, it is determined the
granting of this request would 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 25-89, the Kailua Urban 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.

APPLICANTS REASONS FUR REQUESTING CHANGE OF ZONE
1. The property is situated only one block off Kuakini on the corner of
Kalani Street and Kalawa Street. Kalani Street meets Kuakini at a
signalized intersection, creating a preferred traffic situation. Honolulu
Federal Savings and Loan lies across Kalawa Street adjacent to the West.
Diagonally across the Kalawa Street, Kalani Street interest is a
McDonald's restaurant. Office and other commercial uses, including the
County offices are situated between Kalawa Street and Kuakini Highway,
making the subject vacant property a natural extension of the commercial
office area
2. The change of zone is consistent with the goals of allocating land uses
in approriate proportions to need. The increased business activity in West
Hawaii which has been generated by the existing resort industry growth,
the alternate energy explorations, the astronomical activity and the ocean
technology industry. Projected growth, particulary in resort development,
will create ever more need for associated business, such as architectural,
engineering, building material dealerships, interior design firms, planners
and contractors. The growth In population will also require associated
professional services such as attorneys, accountants, financial
consultants, etc. At this time, there are very few parcels of land that are
suitable for and/or zoned for commercial development. The 4 parcels in
the Kailua-Kona area that are available for sale that have commercial
zoning range in price from $17 per square foot to $24 per square foot.
This price range makes the development of the parcel Into office space for
rent unfeasible as it would require rents too high for professionals to
afford to rent.
The subject property is more reasonably priced and is in the path of the
commercial and urban growth of the Village core. It is appropriate for
commercial use as most of the parcels on the makai side of Kalawa Street
are already zoned commercial and have been developed for commercial use.
It seems appropriate for properties on both sides of the same street to
have similar zoning so as to have a cohesive neighborhood with the same
uses. The tenants of the new office building on this centrally located
corner will be able to conduct much of their business (banking, meetings
with other professionals, County business etc.) by walking to these places,
thereby alleviating the traffic of vehicles entering the town core from
outlying areas.
It has been the stated policy of the Plan to centralize commercial activity
in the Village core and the change of zone of these corner parcels will
implement this goal.
