Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 207,
regarding the rezoning request of W. H. Shipman, Ltd. , Keaau, Hawaii ,
TMK: 1-6-03:7 (por . ) & 78, reports as follows:
Bill No. 207 amends Section 25-103, Article 3, Chapter 25 of the
Hawaii County Code, by changing the district classification of
approximately 488 acres of land from Agricultural 20-acre (A-20a) to
a General Industrial 20,000 square feet (MG-20) .
The applicant plans to develop an industrial park of approximately
400 lots ranging in size from 20,000 square feet to 10 acres. The
park will be developed in two increments of 312 and 176 acres .
The first increment will be developed in several phases and is
expected to take five years at a cost of approximately $12.2 million.
The subject property is located about 6 miles from Hilo and is
adjacent to State Highway 11 .
The General Plan designates the property for industrial uses . Prior
to the 1979 General Plan Revision Program, the property was
designated for Orchard uses . During the update, the County
determined that there was a definite demand for additional industrial
lands .
The State Land Use Commission reclassified the property from an
Agricultural to an Urban District effective February 19, 1985 .
All essential utilities are immediately available to the property.

Your Committee heard from Mr . Roy Blackshear , President of
W. H. Shipman, Ltd. Mr . Blackshear requested clarification of
Condition C of the bill which makes reference to the condition that
the zoning of the second increment shall be effective "after
construction has been partially completed to the extent that roofs
have been constructed on a minimum of twenty-five percent of the lots
proposed for the first zoning increment. "
Planning Director Albert Lyman stated that since the lots will be of
varied sizes, the condition could refer to either the number of lots
or amount of land area .
The fourth sentence of Condition C is amended, as follows, to reflect
the Planning Director 's recommendation:
"Development" means that building permits have been issued for
industrial structures and construction has been partially
completed to the extent that roofs have been constructed on a
minimum of twenty-five percent of either [the] lots or
developable land area proposed for the first zoning increment ; "
The second sentence of Condition M is also amended by replacing the
words Housing Agency with Office of Housing and Community Development.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose
of Bill 207, as amended, and recommends that it pass first reading.
