COMMITTEE ON PLANNING
DATE: October 8, 1985 Re: Comm. 304
PLACE: Councilroom
TIME: 1: 30 p.m..
Chairman and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii
Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 84
regarding the rezoning request of Dr. James Lutter, Waiakea,
South Hilo, TMK: 2-2-21: 7 & 46, reports as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to rezone approximately 20,812 square
feet of land from a Single Family Residential - 10,000 square foot
(RS-10) to an Office Commercial - 20,000 square foot (CO-20) zoned
district. The property is located on Lanihuli Street.
According to information from the Planning Department, the property
was subdivided into two lots in 1980. Parcels 7 and 46 consist of
10,813 square feet and 10,000 square feet, respectively. Dr . Lutter ,
a practicing dentist, plans to convert the existing single-family
dwelling on parcel 7 into a dental office for himself. He has no
plans to consolidate the two lots .
According to the Planning Department, the surrounding lands are
either zoned commercial or single-family residential. The properties
abutting the subject property are zoned residential .
The Planning Commission met to consider Dr . Lutter ' s rezoning request
on July 2, 1985 and July 24, 1985 but could not register a majority
vote at either meeting. Therefore, the Planning Commission is
transmitting the rezoning application to the County Council without a
recommendation.
At the July 2, 1985 public hearing, the motion to recommend denial of
the request was recorded as two ayes , two noes , and one abstention.
Subsequently, the Planning Commission voted to reconsider its motion
and then voted to defer action until July 24, 1985. At the
July 24, 1985 meeting, a motion to recommend approval of the
application did not pass . The vote was recorded as three ayes and
three noes .
The requested change of zone conforms to the General Plan Land Use
Pattern Allocation Guide Map which designates the area for High
Density Urban Development. Such a designation may allow office uses .
PC REPORT No . 61
ADOPTED : OCT 1, �.,

The Planning Department has concluded that the request is consistent
with the urban form depicted for Hilo in that it would add commercial
uses serving the entire city in a central location and in close
proximity to other similar services . The approval of the request is
anticipated to strengthen the existing commercial core in addition to
providing services to the community.
Your Committee on Planning recommends that Bill No. 84 pass second
reading.
