Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 92, reports as follows:
Bill No. 92, transmitted by Mayor Harry Kim, via Communication No. 689, dated December 21,
2017, amends the State Land Use Boundaries Maps for the County of Hawai`i by changing the
District Classification from the Agricultural District to the Urban District at Waiakea, South
Hilo, Hawaii, covered by Tax Map Key: 2-4-001:184 (Applicant: Hawai`i Island Community
Development Corporation) (Area: 6.569 acres).
Mayor Kim forwarded the Windward Planning Commission's favorable recommendation for this
amendment, to the State Land Use Boundaries Maps, which would allow the applicant to
develop 92 units of affordable senior housing.
Development Manager Jeremy McComber and Executive Director Keith Kato appeared on
behalf of Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation. Mr. McComber gave a brief
overview of the project.
Several Council Members commented with support and inquired as to the process involved with
regard to the land use commission law, and the land use commission process. These inquiries
were answered by Deputy Corporation Counsel Amy Self.
The vote was taken on a motion to approve and passed with nine "ayes."
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 92, and
recommends its passage on first reading.
