COMMITTEE ON PLANNING
•
DATE : January 14 , 1985 Re: Comm. 1735
TIME: 1 : 30 p.m. ,
PLACE : County Councilroom
Chairman and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii
Your Committee on Planning to which was referred Bill No. 1140
regarding the rezoning request of Kenneth Tanouye ,
TMK: 2-2-50 :2 and 3 , reports as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to change the district classification of
a 45 ,000 square foot property from a Single Family Residential -
10 ,000 square foot (RS-10 ) to a Limited Industrial - 20 ,000 square
foot (ML-20 ) zoned district at Waiakea Houselots , South Hilo, Hawaii .
The petitioner intends to construct a single steel ribbed warehouse
building on the property. Proposed uses for the warehouse include a
commercial tire center , repair shops , and other light industrial uses .
Elements essential to industrial activities include proximity to
general population or a commercial area and transportation
facilities . The subject property is in the immediate vicinity of the
Kanoelehua Industrial area which is conveniently located in close
proximity to Kuhio Wharf and General Lyman Field Airport . The
proposed zoning would complement the industrial activities of the
Kanoelehua Industrial area as well as represent an extension of this
area.
There is a continuing demand and need for additional industrial zoned
lands to, accommodate present and future industrial activities for the
Hilo area. Of 2,188 acres of industrial zoned lands, 381 acres are
vacant . However , of the 381 acres , approximately 9 acres are
privately owned. The remaining lands belong to the State of Hawaii
or the Department o'f Hawaiian Home Lands and are either encumbered by
Executive Orders for a specific use, planned for agricultural use by
the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands , or unimproved and require
major capital improvements .
The requested change conforms to the General Plan Land Use Pattern
Allocation Guide ( LUPAG) Map which designates the area for Industrial
uses . The requested industrial zoning would also complement the
goals and standards of the General Plan .
