REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE ON PLANNING
DATE: September 12, 1988 Re : Comm . 1747
PLACE: Councilroom
TIME: 1 : 30 p.m.
Chairman and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo , Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No . 615 ,
regarding the rezoning request of Kailua Bay Village , Inc. ,
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii , TMK: 7-5-09 :portion of parcel 25 , reports as
follows:
Bill No . 615 amends Section 25-89, Article 3 , Chapter 25 of the
Hawaii County Code , by changing the district classification of
2. 25 acres of land from Multiple Family Residential (RM-1 ) to
Resort-Hotel (V.75) .
A portion of the subject property is already zoned for Resort use .
Therefore , the rezoning request applies to the remaining area .
The proposed development will consist of eight free standing
structures . Five of these structures will be one-story and the
remaining three will be two-story in height . Tenants will be
primarily specialty retail shops and restaurants . The development
will include at least 283 parking stalls . An on-site sewage
treatment plant will be constructed if the Department of Public
Works - Wastewater & Solid Waste Division determines that it is not
possible for the subject development to hook into the County 's system .
Bill 615 passed first reading of the County Council on September 7 ,
1988 and was recommitted to the Planning Committee for further
discussion as to whether or not the applicant should be required to
develop affordable housing units in conjunction with the project .
Councilman Russell Kokubun asked the Planning Director whether a
housing requirement should be imposed on the project . The director
answered in the negative and added that the administration ' s position
is that commercial developments should not be subjected to a housing
requirement because they, generally, do not create a housing need .
Committee Vice Chairman Spencer Kalani Schutte informed the
Planning Director that he disagrees with the administration ' s
position . He added that a policy which requires only certain
developments to include affordable housing units is the primary cause
of the confusion that currently surrounds the County 's affordable
housing requirement .

The Planning Director made reference to primary employment centers
being industrial cores , such as resorts , agriculture , etc .
Commercial activity is generally considered an outcrop of the primary
employment centers .
Although a brief period of discussion followed Councilman Schutte 's
comments , no amendments were made .
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose
of Bill 615 and recommends that it pass second and final reading .
