The subject parcel is located at 2169 Kino`ole Street, Waiakea Homestead Lots, Waiakea, South Hilo District, Hawaii, TMK: (3) 2-2-041:075 (por). Please note that the agenda inadvertently referenced the ordinance number as 81-723 when the actual ordinance number is 723. The remainder of the report will reference the correct Ordinance No. 723. PROPOSED ACTION 1. Applicant's Request: The applicant requests deletion of all conditions of Change ofZone Ordinance No.723 and the retention ofthe existing CN-10 zoning designation.The specific deletion requests follow(material to be deleted is bracketed): Delete Condition A: That the petitioner, Beretania Properties, Inc., shall be responsible for complying with all of the stated conditions of approval.] Delete Condition B: That plans shall be submitted and Final Plan Approval, in accordance with Chapter 8 Zoning Code),Hawaii County Code,secured by the Planning Department for the proposed development within one(1)year from the effective date of the change of zone.] Delete Condition C: That construction commence within one (1) year from the date of receipt of Final Plan Approval and be completed within two(2) years thereafter.] Delete Condition D: That access to the property shall meet with the approval of the Department of Public Works.] Delete Condition E: That the proposed improvements shall be designed in keeping with the existing character of the immediate neighborhood.] Delete Condition F: That the General Plan density guidelines of a maximum of 24 percent ground cover and 28 percent paved parking area, and a minimum of48 percent landscaping/open space shall be complied with.] Delete Condition G: That the sewage requirements of the appropriate governmental agencies shall be complied with.] Delete Condition H: That all water runoff generated by the proposed development shall be disposed of by a drainage system acceptable to the Department of Public Works.] Delete Condition I: That all other applicable rules, regulations, and requirements be complied with. Should any of the foregoing conditions not be met, rezoning of the area to its original of more appropriate designation may be initiated.] The applicant is currently contemplating the development of a retail building on the subject property that led to the purchase of the parcel in 2019. The applicant currently operates the Kagimoto's convenience store located adjacent to the south of the property within leased space of the historic Ando building. The unique issues relating to the status of the rezone and permitted uses has forced the applicant to suspend any efforts to design and pursue a potential retail building until this rezone request is completed. 2. Reason for the Request: The applicants stated reason for seeking the deletion of all conditions of approval within Ordinance 723 and retaining the CN-I0 zoning designation is to promote the development of the entire 20,188 square-foot property for commercial uses and to eliminate conflicting regulatory controls over portions of the same property that hold a legacy CN-10 zoning designation that is not encumbered by any conditions of approval. Primary justification in support of this request is existing regulatory controls that are already in place to ensure timely development of the property,rendering all the existing conditions of approval as potentially redundant. 2- 3.Supportive Information: The applicant has submitted the attached in support of the request: (Planning Department Exhibit 1 — Letter dated December 15, 2020 from Daryn Arai requesting deletion of all conditions). 4.Landowner: Kelly Kagimoto. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 5. March 1, 1967: City of Hilo zone district map was adopted. Zone district map depicted an area zoned as CN-10 which included a 10,763 square-foot portion of the 20,188 square foot subject property. 6. June 5, 1970: The existing 20,188 square-foot parcel (i.e., Lot 4-C)was created as part of a 3-lot subdivision (SUB 2854) which was approved by the County. At the time of this subdivision, approximately 10,763 square feet of the larger subject parcel was situated within the CN-10 zoning established in 1967. 7. November 4, 1981: Effective date of Ordinance No. 723 (see Exhibit A of Application) that changed the district classification from Single-Family Residential-10,000 square feet RS-10) to the Neighborhood Commercial-10,000 square feet (CN-10) zoning district for the 9,425 square-foot portion of the subject parcel. STATE AND COUNTY PLANS 8.State Land Use District: Urban. 9. County Zoning: Neighborhood Commercial-10,000 square feet (CN-10). 10. General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Designation: Medium Density Urban (mdu) and Low Density Urban (Idu). 11. Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP): The Hilo Community Development Plan adopted by Planning Commission Resolution No. 1 on May 21, 1975 identifies the parcel area as Neighborhood Commercial. 12. Special Management Area (SMA): The Special Management Area is a part of the Coastal Zone Management Program and regulated by the County. The site is located over 2 miles from the nearest shoreline and is not situated within the SMA. 3- DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREAS 13. Subject Property: The subject, 20,188 square foot property is rectangular is shape and generally level with a slight incline to the west. It is currently vacant of any improvements and has been completely grubbed and graded with only grass planting and some trees along the property line to the south. 14. Surrounding Zoning/Land Uses: Surrounding properties in the general area are zoned RS-10, RS-15, and CN-1 0. Within the "commercial core" zoned parcels (CN-I0) a store, apartment complex,retail and business offices,a gas station, food establishments personal services as well as residential uses are found. Residential properties are predominantly to the east. 15. Public Utilities and Services:The applicant states that all supporting utilities and services are available to the subject parcel. Access to Kino`ole Street from the property will be constructed in accordance with the Department of Public Works standards and requirements. County water service is available to the subject parcel via a 6-inch waterline located within Kino`ole Street. According to the Department of Water Supply(DWS), the nearest fire hydrant capable of providing fire protection to the subject parcel is not within the distance required per the DWS standards. The existing waterline fronting the parcel is inadequate to provide 2,000 gallons per minute of flow as required for fire protection per the DWS Water System Standards. The applicant is encouraged to contact the Fire Department to determine fire protection requirements or alternatives. AGENCIES' COMMENTS 16.

In summary,this request seeks relief from the conditions of approval contained within the ordinance due to existing regulatory controls ensuring orderly development of the property and recognizing that more than half of the property was originally zoned CN-10 as part of the adoption of district zone maps in 1967,about 53 years ago and that the subject ordinance only pertains to a smaller half ofthe same property. This request also seeks to retain the current CN-10 zoning district established by Ordinance No. 81-723. As required by this amendment request,attached is a letter of authorization to file this request, $250 filing fee and list of surrounding property owners within 300 feet ofthe subject property. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The subject property,consisting of 20,188 square feet, is situated within the City ofHilo within the Waiakea District near the intersection of Kinoole and Kawailani Streets(refer to Figure 1-Location Map. The City of Hilo zone district map,within which the subject property is located,was adopted as part of the Zoning Code(then Chapter 8, Hawai`i County Code)on March 1, 1967. On this zone district map depicted an area zoned as CN-10 straddling both sides of Kinoole Street,and which included a portion of the current subject property. The location of this legacy"CN-10 zoning district is shown on a map in Exhibit A as part ofOrdinance No. 81-723, mandfurtherdepictedonanaerialimageinFigure2-Aerial Image with Zoning below. The 20,188 square-foot property (Lot 4-C)was created as part of a 3-lot subdivision 400SUB2854)approved by the County on June 5, 1970(refer to Figure 3-SUB 2854). At the time •C of this subdivision,approximately 10,763 square feet of the larger property 20,188 square-foot c property was situated within the"legacy"CN-10 zoning district established in 1967. a X 0- w P.O.BOX 4501,I11L0 HAWAII 96720 PHONE:(808)895-3218 EMAIL:DARYN ARA1 OUrLOOK.COM Mr. Zendo Kern, Acting Planning Director Page 2 of 16 December 15,2020 ca-c'e eco._ e;t5 0.3'3 3.•3 _ Keaukaha o 0!3, a`e te tl 19 H•o IntematOraAirport J h tit to ' Waiakea ps J 7 Y University of fHawaiiatHio Wa mart Or Prince ®,T"e Horne Depot Kuh;oPlaza kiV Puamako St W PUa'flakQ SL L A7 o D centerors v WKa„aitar:St Ka`"a'Wnt SUBJECT PROPERTY Pizza Hut OA, Hilo Municipal Golf Course Km's at Hiro Muni r HJ-ht St Figure 1-Location Map Mr.Zendo Kern,Acting Planning Director Page 3 of 16 December 15,2020 1 11 i I i L J sm 111111 III I' r, f.s 1—Oil n kmi. r41%,:„r KILpUEA A W • .w .. _ VENUE r- "'' A iti f•t. . n , . 10 N I171 N 7 i - 1 11°-11 \ 4T 51155 _ F'..--,'f yF- !\ KIN-OOLE STREET r I rx''- 1 hh 1, m4.• i'y I.: i I fib!C I i,1 i i 1 411Ir 174 R 'r M 21 4 g f, Figure 2-Aerial Image with Zoning Mr. Zendo Kern, Acting Planning Director Page 4 of 16 December 15, 2020 7 v^...'7= .:+ken... ....-•s; .>.:.,: :r , 2.40>.

KINOOLE STR 1 I y 1L'^ - r/ Z Figure 4-General Plan LUPAG Map Mr. Zendo Kern, Acting Planning Director Page 6 of 16 December 15, 2020 In 1981, via Ordinance No. 81-723 (refer to Exhibit A),the Hawai`i County Council approved a change of zone for a 9,425 square-foot portion of the property from a Single Family Residential (RS-10)to a CN-10 zoning district in support of a proposed 16-unit apartment complex and laundromat (refer to Figure 5-Original apartment site plan), subject to a number of conditions of approval placed upon the original applicant and landowner, Beretania Properties, Inc.,to ensure timely development of the property. This rezoning was largely supported since more than half of the property directly fronting Kinoole Street was already zoned CN-10 through the adoption of the zone district maps in 1967 and is supported, then and now, by the General Plan as shown above on Figure 4-General Plan LUPAG Map that depicts the subject property and immediately surrounding area for Medium Density Urban uses,which allows for commercial uses. A search for Beretania Properties, Inc. could not locate this company and through successive ownership of the property with the most recent being in 2019, Beretania Properties, Inc. no longer has any ownership interest in the property. The property was never developed as an apartment complex as originally proposed back in 1981. Therefore, the deadlines associated with the conditions of approval of Ordinance 81-723 have long since lapsed and the prospect of developing the property for commercial uses is hampered until such time the zoning conditions of approval are amended by the Hawai`i County Council. NATURE AND PURPOSE OF SUBJECT REQUEST The Applicant is requesting that all conditions of approval associated with Ordinance No. 81-723 be deleted and that the CN-10 zoning district established by this ordinance upon a 9,425 square-foot portion of the larger 20,188 square-foot property be retained so that the entire property can be developed for commercial uses permitted within the CN-10 zoning district. The purpose of this request is to delete conditions of approval that was originally intended to specifically compel the original landowner and applicant, Beretania Properties, Inc., to complete development the property for commercial uses in a timely manner, more specifically, within four(4)years from the effective date of Ordinance No. 81-723 or November 4, 1985. As Beretania Properties, Inc. was not able to proceed with the development of the subject property and is apparently no longer in existence as a company,the conditions of approval have not been satisfied and the ability of the current landowner, Kelly Kagimoto, to develop the property for commercial uses remains in limbo. The Applicant is currently contemplating the development a retail building on the subject property that led her to purchase it in 2019. She currently operates the Kagimoto's convenience store located adjacent to the south of the property within leased space within the historic Ando building. Unfortunately, the discovery of the conditions of approval associated with the partial CN-10 zoning of the property and its status of compliance has now raised doubts about whether she will be able to retain the CN-10 zoning for the makai or"back-half' of the subject property. This revelation after the purchase of the property has forced the Applicant to suspend any efforts to seriously contemplate upon the design of the proposed retail building pending the outcome of this amendment request.

Primary justification in support of this request are existing regulatory controls that are already in place to ensure orderly development of the property,rendering all of the existing conditions of approval as simply redundant. The Applicant presents, further below, all conditions of approval within Ordinance No. 81-723 along with statements of position on why the deletion of these conditions are appropriate, in this particular and unique situation. Conditions of Approval within Ordinance No. 81-723 along with Statements of Position: A) that the petitioner, Beretania Properties, Inc., shall be responsible for complying with all of the stated conditions of approval; Applicant's Statement of Position: this condition places compliance with all conditions of approval within Ordinance No. 81-723 solely upon the original owner and applicant, Beretania Properties, Inc. and not upon any successor or assigns,as is now typical in zoning ordinances adopted by the Hawai`i County Council. As currently constructed, this strictly worded condition would prevent any successor owner of the property from exercising reasonable opportunities to secure the necessary approvals to develop the property for commercial uses. B) that plans shall be submitted and Final Plan Approval, in accordance with Chapter 8 Zoning Code), Hawaii County Code, secured by the Planning Department for the proposed development within one(1)year from the effective date of the change ofzone; Applicant's Statement of Position: the Kinoole Street-fronting portion ofthe subject property, consisting of approximately 10,763 square feet,maintains a"legacy"CN-10 zoning so designated by the adoption of the City of Hilo District Zone Map in 1967 and maintains no conditions of approval. Given the relatively small size of the 20,188 square-foot property and the fact that more than half of it is not subject to conditions of approval,there is no significant public purpose or welfare concerns associated with simply aligning Ordinance No. 81-723 to afford the same regulatory opportunities for the back-half'of the subject property as that exists for the"front-half'. Mr. Zendo Kern,Acting Planning Director Page 9 of 16 December 15,2020 C) that construction commence within one(1)year from the date of receipt of Final Plan Approval and be completed within two(2)years thereafter; Applicant's Statement of Position: same discussion as offered for Conditions A and B above. D) that access to the property shall meet with the approval of the Department of Public Works; Applicant's Statement of Position: this condition is redundant, as it recites requirements already enforced by the County of Hawaii through Chapter 22,Article 4 of the Hawaii County Code,more specifically Section 22-4.8(a)which states that,"No County street shall be used for ingress or egress to a property without a properly located and constructed driveway approach." Regarding improvements along the street frontage of the subject property,please note that there are no sidewalks along the makai side of Kinoole Street directly fronting other similarly zoned commercial properties on either side of the subject property. The existing Kagimoto's store directly adjacent to the south utilizes its street frontage as an active parking area,that could complicate pedestrian movements should sidewalk improvements be required along the street frontage ofthe subject property. The adjoining property to the north maintains a similar"legacy"CN-10 zoning and is therefore not subject to any sidewalk improvements. Please refer to Figures 6.and 9 showing the existing Kinoole Street conditions along the front of the subject and adjoining properties. E) that the proposed improvements shall be designed in keeping with the existing character of the immediate neighborhood; Applicant's Statement of Position: there are no specific design guidelines established within the particular section of the City of Hilo. Therefore,the Applicant is not aware of what design vernacular should be applied or adhered to. The adjoining Kagimoto's store does have a particular building design typical of late 19th century and early 20th century architecture found in abundance in Downtown Hilo, but contemporary-styled buildings abound on almost every other commercial-zoned property in the immediate vicinity of the subject property, including an apartment building,two gas station complexes and Waiakeawaena Elementary School complex. Figures 6 through 12 below identifies the existing architectural setting and basic urban character of this particular area at the intersection of Kinoole and Kawailani Streets.

Open space is regulated by the Zoning Code through minimum yard setback and maximum height requirements; minimum parking requirements are also regulated by the Zoning Code,and landscaping requirements are administered through Planning Department Rule No. 17 regarding Landscaping. G) that the sewage requirements of the appropriate governmental agencies shall be complied with; Applicant's Statement of Position: the subject property and this particular area within the City of Hilo is not serviced by a public sewer system. An individual wastewater treatment system, regulated by the State Department of Health through its Wastewater Systems rule(Title 11, Chapter 62, Hawaii Administrative Rules). H) that all water runoff generated by the proposed development shall be disposed of by a drainage system acceptable to the Department of Public Works; Applicant's Statement of Position: water runoff caused by development of the subject property will be regulated by the County of Hawaii through its Erosion and Sedimentation requirements within Chapter 10 of the Hawaii County Code and in accordance with the Department of Public Works Storm Drainage Standards. If applicable,the State Department of Health-Clean Water Branch through its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements may also be part of the overall review and approval process related to development-generated runoff and its proposed disposal. I) that all other applicable rules, regulations and requirements be complied with. Should any of the foregoing conditions not be met, rezoning of the area to its original or more appropriate designation may be initiated. Applicant's Statement of Position: given that more than half of the property maintains an existing CN-I0 zoning that has existed for more than 53 years,the Applicant would like to assume that maintaining the CN-I0 zoning for the remainder of the property covered by Ordinance No. 81-723 is appropriate due to its consistency with the General Plan and the existing commercial land use pattern at this major intersection within the City of Hilo. Mr. Zendo Kern, Acting Planning Director Page 15 of 16 December 15, 2020 SUMMARY In addition to demonstrating the opportunity for orderly commercial development of the subject property through existing government regulations, the Applicant submits that maintaining the 9,425 square feet of CN-10 zoning within the subject property and allowing for the entire 20,188 square-foot property to be developed in its entirety for commercial uses is an appropriate land use pattern within this part of the City of Hilo.as demonstrated by the Medium Density Urban designation by the General Plan. Adjacent properties on either side are currently zoned CN-10.as it is for properties located directly across Kinoole Street. A store, apartment complex, retail and business offices,gas stations, food establishments,personal services and residential uses are all located within this"commercial core"that is defined by the intersection of Kinoole and Kawailani Streets. All supporting utilities and services are available to the subject property. Access to Kinoole Street will be constructed in accordance with Department of Public Works requirements and standards. County water service is available to the subject property via a 6-inch waterline situated within Kinoole Street. While water availability for commercial uses is typically not an issue within the City of Hilo,water demand calculations and on-site fire suppression measures must be provided to the Department of Water Supply before water commitments are issued for any commercial development of the property. Electricity,telephone and cable services are readily available. Wastewater will be disposed of within an individual wastewater system, such as a septic system,to be developed in conformance with State Department of Health requirements. Kinoole Street is a major collector roadway, capable of accommodating any traffic volume and movements generated by a retail complex anticipated to be built upon the subject property. The relatively small size of the property at less than 'h-acre will limit the size of any commercial establishment,thereby having a similar limiting effect on traffic and other demands anticipated to be placed upon public infrastructure systems. While the County may contemplate the need to impose typical conditions of approval associated with more recent rezoning actions, such as fair share,affordable housing and unified impact fee requirements,the Applicant assumes that such impositions can only affect the portion of the property actually encumbered by the ordinance,thereby raising into question the overall effectiveness and proportionality that such requirements may have upon the overall reasonable use of the property given its historical and unique characteristics. While single or multiple family residential uses upon the property are not being currently considered,the future administration of such housing-related requirements upon the property should be carefully contemplated. Mr. Zendo Kern, Acting Planning Director Page 16 of 16 December 15, 2020 Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to contact me should there be any questions or need for additional information.

This letter provides the State Historic Preservation Division's (SHPD's) review of a request to amend Rezone Ordnance Number 81-723 (REZ 399)pertaining to the 0.46-acre area. The submittal was received by our office on January 8,2021.The submittal includes photographs of the project area,and a letter to the County of Hawaii asking to amend the Rezone and describing the project area including aerial imagery and maps. Project Description The property owner,Kelly Kagimoto,is requesting the entire 20,188-square-foot property to become part of the CN- 10 zoning district and is seeking the deletion of all conditions of approval within Ordinance No. 81-723. Currently, only the front half of the property is in the CN-10 zone. The property owner plans to develop a retail store if the other half of the property can be changed from Ordinance No.81-723 to a CN-10 zoning district. Findings A review of SHPD's records show that no archaeological inventory survey (AIS)has been conducted on the project parcel or vicinity, and that no archaeological historic properties have been identified within the project parcel.The project area is within an urban portion of Hilo and few archaeological resources remain in the area. Additionally, a photograph included in the submittal displays previous ground disturbance throughout the project area. Determination Based on the information provided, SHPD has no objection to the requested amendment to amend RezoneomOrdnanceNo. 81-723 pertaining to the subject property. SHPD requests the opportunity to review future permit applications involving ground disturbing activities. Q NII Please contact Nicole A. Mello,Hawaii Island Archaeologist IV,at Nicole.MelloAhawaii.gov for any questions or w V concerns regarding this letter.
