Re: C-652
Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 150,
regarding the change of zone request by Maryl Development,
Inc., at Lanihau 1st, North Kona, Hawaii, TMK: 7-5-04:54
(previously a portion of Parcel 29), reports as follows:
Bill No. 150 amends Section 25-87 (North Kona Zone Map),
Article 3, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code,
by changing the district classification for approximately
6.629 acres of land from an Agricultural -one acre (A -la) to a
General Commercial -20,000 square foot (CG -20) zoned district.
The property, presently vacant and periodically utilized for
cattle grazing, is located approximately 980 feet south from
the Palani Road/Queen Kaahumanu Highway intersection in
Kailua-Kona.
The subject property is one of three subdivided lots, the
others being the Ololi Road remnant and Parcel 19, for which
the applicant is requesting the General Commercial (CG -20)
zoning and the concurrent Urban boundary amendment in order to
develop a commercial subdivision into various lot sizes with a
minimum of 20,000 square feet.
Water is available to the project site but the applicant must
obtain a water commitment from the Department of Water Supply,
subject to a determination on the anticipated maximum daily
water usage for the proposed development.
Although the property is within the State Land Use Agricultural
district and the County's Agricultural one -acre zone district,
it is not currently used for active agricultural purposes. The
Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH)
map does not classify the subject area in any category, and the
Land Use Study Bureau's Overall Master Productivity Rating for
the soils in the area is E or Very Poor.

The property has no severe geological or topographical problems
which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the
land unusable.
The subject property is not within the boundaries of the Kailua
Village Special District but surrounding lando uses include
Lanihau Shopping Center, Kailua-Kona Post Office, Kona Coast
Shopping Center and vacant lands.
The Planning Commission concurs with the following Planning
Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of
the change of zone request:
(1) The zone request is consistent with the goals, policies and
standards of the County General Plan and the Kona Regional
Plan which recommends the area be developed for General
Commercial uses.
(2) The change of zone request conforms with the General Plan
Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map which
designates the area for high density urban development.
(3) The property is or will be provided with all utilities and
services which are essential to accommodate urban
development.
Since it was determined by Corporation Counsel that the Ololi Road
remnant is a county road, your Committee expressed a desire that the
the Ololi Road remnant should be considered for payment of a monetary
fee or an exchange for other portions of the applicant's land. This
matter will be considered at the appropriate time.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose
of Bill No. 150 and recommends that it pass first reading and be sent
back to the Planning Committee for further deliberation.
