Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 258, reports as follows:
Bill No. 258, transmitted by Mayor William P. Kenoi via Communication No. 1154 dated October 24,
2016, amends Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the
Hawai`i County Code 1983 (2005 Edition), by changing the District Classification from Single Family
Residential— 10,000 Square Feet (RS-10) to Neighborhood Commercial— 10,000 Square Feet (CN-10)
at Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawai`i, covered by Tax Map Key: 2-2-040:004. The applicants are Robert S.
Oshiro and Carol Oshiro, and the subject parcel covers 1 acre. The applicants are seeking a change of
zone to allow the construction of a new 2,280 square foot restaurant where the applicants' son, a chef,
will be able to operate his own restaurant. The restaurant will be open six days a week from 6 a.m. to 9
p.m. It is anticipated that the restaurant will have eight employees, in addition to the owner.
Mr. Onishi spoke in favor of this bill.
The Windward Planning Commission, at its duly held meeting on October 6, 2016, concurred with the
Planning Director's favorable recommendation on this item.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 258, and recommends
its passage on first reading.
