Bill No. 67, transmitted by Mayor Harry Kim, via Communication No. 443, dated August 22,
2017, amends Ordinance No. 07-136, which reclassified lands from Single-Family Residential—

Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawai`i, covered by Tax Map Key: 2-2-036:090.
(Applicant: Rodney Tanaka) (Area: 22,500 Square Feet)
Mayor Kim forwarded the Windward Planning Commission's favorable recommendation for this
amendment, which would allow a five-year time extension to Condition C, time to complete
construction. The project is located at the corner of the intersection of Lanikaula Street and
Hinano Street, and provides for a 9,075 square foot building to be used as a warehouse space, an
office, and a showroom.
Deputy Planning Director Arai stated that the applicant, Rodney Tanaka, was present in the
audience. He said that this rezoning was issued in 2007, with an administrative extension to
complete the project issued in 2013. Mr. Arai then stated that the applicant secured plan
approval and obtained a building permit for a warehouse structure, and that the Planning
Commission issued a favorable recommendation for this request.
Several Council Members commented with support. The vote was taken on the motion to
approve and passed with nine"ayes."
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 67, and
recommends its passage on first reading.
