Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 646,
regarding the State Land Use Boundary amendment request of
Orchid Gardens, Waiakea Homesteads, South Hilo, Hawaii,
TMK: 2-4-65:Portion of 2, reports as follows:
Bill No. 646 amends the State Land Use Boundaries Map, H-66, of the
County of Hawaii, by changing the district classification of
13.74 acres of land from Agricultural to Urban.
The Waiakea Homesteads area, where the subject property is located,
is situated in close proximity to major employment and government
centers of our County. As such, it complements the Land Use
Commission Rules which states that, in determining the boundaries for
Urban District, "It shall include lands characterized by 'city -like'
concentration of people, structures, streets, urban level of services
and other related land uses."
While the property is currently within the State Land Use
Agricultural district, it is not actively used for agricultural
purposes. The property was used for very limited grazing activity.
Therefore, the Department of Agriculture has stated that
reclassification action will not adversely affect the agricultural
resources of the area.
Water and other essential utilities and services are readily
available to the property.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose
of Bill No. 646 and recommends that it pass first reading.
