Dear Reverend jenkins:

Use Permit Application
TMK: 6-5-04:12 and portion of 10
The Planning Commission at its duly held public hearing on
April 23, 1986, voted to approve your application, Use Permit
No. 40, to allow the establishment of a church on 40,000 square feet
of Ond situated within the Village Commercial - 7,500 square foot
(CV -7.5) zoned district at Waimea Homesteads, South Kohala, Hawaii.
Approval of this request is based on the following:
The granting of the proposed use will be consistent with
the general purpose of the zoned district, the intent and
purpose of the zoning Code, and the County General Plan. The
establishment of the proposed church and related improvements on
a property situated within the County's Village Commercial zone
district may be permitted through the granting of a Use Permit.
It should be further noted that the goals of the Land Use
element of the General Plan states to "Designate and allocate
land uses in appropriate proportions and in keeping with the
social, cultural, and physical environments of the County." it
is felt that the granting of the request at its particular
location will still maintain the present environment of the
existing church row development. Additionally, since all
essential utilities and services are available to the property,
the granting of this request will also be in the direction of
fulfilling the land use policy of the General Plan which states
to promote and encourage the utilization of urban areas which
are serviced by basic community facilities and utilities. As
such, from an impact standpoint, the introduction of this church
development into this commercially zoned area should not create
any major physical, cultural or social impacts on this area.

The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare nor cause substantial adverse impact to the
community's character or to surrounding properties. The new
church and sunday school buildings will be approximately 2,100
square feet in size; the proposed worship center will be
approximately 3,600 square feet in size and the proposed
education center will be approximately 2,000 square feet in
size. Therefore, the total development will encompass
approximately 7,700 square feet or 19 percent of the net land
area of the property which is 40,000 square feet in size. As
such, with this area of land, the scale and size of the proposed
church and related improvements should not physically dominate
or overwhelm the property. The establishment of the church may
have some impact on the adjacent lands, but these impacts may be
mitigated by requiring structural setbacks and landscaping from
these areas. The lands to the west are zoned agriculture. The
existing pasture between the proposed church development and the
open area of the Waikoloa Stream between the nearest residential
development to the north will assist in minimizing any potential
social, noise or other types Of impacts. The proposed design
should provide a comfortable and compatible environment between
the adjacent lands and the church development.
The granting of the proposed use will not ca'` veroely affect
similar or related existing uses within the surrounding area,
community or region. Approval of the subject request would
enable the petitioner to provide a service for the Kamuela
area. This new facility would be tailored to accommodate
individual religious needs of the community.
The granting of the proposed use will not unreasonably
burden public agencies to provide roads and streets, sewer,
water, drainage, schools, police and fire protection and other
related infrastructure. The property is provided with all
essential utilities and services. The 50 -foot wide road
easement to the subject property will be improved with a 20 -foot
wide pavement. This roadway complies with County urban
standards and is adequate to service vehicular and pedestrian
traffic to this property. As such, while traffic in the area
may increase slightly, it is expected to be quite negligible.
Additionally, the petitioner will have to comply with the
Department of Public Work's driveway requirements. it should be
noted that none of the cooperating agenciev had any objections
to the subject request.
Approval of this Use Permit request is subject to the following
conditions:
