REV. LW.TRUST,AND KAPOHO PROPERTIES,LLC
CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION (REZ 21-000243)
Upon careful review of the request against the guidelines for granting a Change of Zone,
the Planning Director is recommending that a favorable recommendation for a Change of Zone
from Open(0)to Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use-20,000 square feet(MCX-20) for 3.29 acres
of land be forwarded to the County Council. Since this recommendation is made without the
benefit of public testimony, the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this position.
This favorable recommendation is based on the following findings:
The applicants are requesting a Change of Zone from an Open (0) zoning district
to an Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use-20,000 square feet (MCX-20) zoning district for
3.29 acres of land that includes seven (7) separate parcels. In order to accommodate the
rezone request to MCX-20 the applicants have proposed a consolidation and
resubdivision from the existing 7 parcels into 4 separate parcels with the required 20,000
square feet of area. The proposed MCX-20 zoning designation would allow up to seven
parcels, 20,000 square feet in size, but due to constraints from existing development that
cross existing property lines, as well as setback and other development requirements, a
maximum of four (4) parcels are being created. The project site (7 separate TMKs) is
irregularly shaped and is accessed via Kamehameha Avenue along the northern boundary
of the project site. It is currently developed with a number of large office-type or
warehouse-type buildings including the historic Hilo Iron Works building. There are
currently sixteen (16) different businesses either using the space for offices or for
warehouse/storage, however, one (1) business (McDonnel Frame) utilizes the space for
manufacturing. Existing paved parking areas, covered walkways and other appurtenances
small work sheds, storage) are also located within the project site. The project site is
considered fully developed with little to no landscaping or lawn areas other than a grass
area on the eastem-makai side ofthe project site.
The Change of Zone request from Open (0) to Industrial-Commercial
Mixed-20,000 square feet (MCX-20) conforms to, among others, the goals, policies
and standards of the General Plan Economic and Land Use Elements.
In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable
goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only
through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions
can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the
General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and
decisions must be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the
County.
The proposed Change of Zone will conform to, among others, the goals, policies
and standards of the Land Use and Economic Elements ofthe General Plan:
Land Use Element(Industrial and Commercial)
Industrial) Designate and allocate industrial areas in appropriate proportions and
in keeping with the social, cultural, and physical environments of the County
Industrial) Promote and encourage the rehabilitation of industrial areas that are
serviced by basic community facilities and utilities.
Commercial) Provide for commercial developments that maximize convenience
to users.
Commercial) Provide commercial developments that complement the overall
pattern of transportation and land usage within the island's regions, communities,
and neighborhoods.
Economic Element
Provide an economic environment that allows new, expanded, or improved
economic opportunities that are compatible with the County's cultural, natural,
and social environment.
Strive for diversification of the economy by strengthening existing industries and
attracting new endeavors.
Strive for diversity and stability in the economic system.
2-
Under Section C-2-a(2) of the Amended Urban Renewal Plan (1965), the entire
area occupied by the Hilo Iron Works is designated as limited industrial. The Plan further
states that "the only industrial uses permitted within the Project Area (i.e., Plan area)
shall be the Honolulu [sic] Iron Works operations and the commercial fishing and
related activities". In 1975 the Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP) listed six
recommendations for allocating industrial land within the Hilo CDP boundaries:
1. Availability of large, relatively flat and developable land which has
expansion potential for industrial use beyond the period of this plan, but
which does not encroach appreciably on agricultural suitable lands or into
areas which are suitable for other urban uses.
2. Accessibility to port facilities for import and export of fuel and materials.
3. Accessibility to the airport for the shipment of goods.
4. Good road access to living areas or employees and to the commercial and
financial facilities of Hilo.
5. Availability, at economic cost, of utility systems.
6. Compatibility with nearby land uses, with any noxious industrial uses
buffered from residential and other urban activities.
The 2005 County of Hawai`i General Plan (GP) included an amendment that
changed the GP designation for the Hilo Iron Works site from Open to Industrial; it
should be noted that the GP identified the Hilo Iron Works site specifically as appropriate
for industrial-commercial zoning and uses.
In 2016 the Banyan Drive Hawaii Redevelopment Agency (BDHRA) produced a
concept plan for the Banyan Drive area which included the Hilo Iron Works site. That
plan, which was vetted by both the public and private sectors and approved by the
agency, identified the project site as "commercial/industrial".
The requested change of zone conforms to the General Plan Land Use
Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide
LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's
goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It
reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The
3
LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non-urban form for areas within the County.
The subject area is designated Industrial (ind). The General Plan states the Industrial
designation includes uses such as manufacturing and processing, wholesaling, large
storage and transportation facilities, light industrial and industrial-commercial uses.
The applicant's proposed rezone request to the Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use
zoning district is consistent with the LUPAG "Industrial" zoning designation for the
project site. The revision to the Zoning Code, completed in 1996, incorporated the
concept of mixed-use zones to allow compatible commercial uses to mix with light
industrial uses. Mixed use light industrial and commercial zones may include, but are not
limited to, wholesale, retail, office uses and personal and business services which align
with the current uses of the project site. Mixed use zones are appropriate in areas of
economic transition, such as light industrial areas that are in demand as sites for
commercial uses, and older residential areas needs as sites for more intensive
development. The proposed change of zone would complement the existing land uses at
the project site as well as the future development plans for Banyan Drive and Hilo Urban
areas.
The project site is bounded to the south and east by the Wailoa River which
empties into Hilo Bay, crossing Kamehameha Avenue. To the west of the project site is a
1.89-acre parcel owned by the State of Hawaii (Division of Aquatic Resources) that has
been developed with buildings, parking, and fencing that is within the Urban State Land
Use District and within the County of Hawaii Open zoning district. West of the DAR
facility is the Wailoa River State Park. The majority of the parcels surrounding the
project site are within the State Land Use Urban District, are zoned "Open" within the
County zoning district and designated as "Open" within the General Plan LUPAG map.
The proposed request will result in a more appropriate land use pattern that
will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. When
considering any request to change the zoning district of a property, the Director shall
consider the purpose of the existing and proposed zoning district and the purpose of the
Zoning Code and shall recommend a change in zoning only where it would result in a
more appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience
4-
and the general welfare.
The predominant land use in this area is a mix of commercial, recreation,
government, and both State and County parks. The site is over 250 feet from a storage
shed located at the Wailoa Boat Harbor to the south of the site while the State Division of
Aquatic Resources (DAR) uses an improved State-owned parcel west of the project site
for research and other agency specific activities, such as a base yard. In the past DAR has
utilized the Hilo Iron Works site for accessory office and research space similar to the
United States Geological Survey (USGS) that currently rents three (3) areas for office
and storage uses.
For the purpose of promoting health, safety, or the general welfare of the County,
the Zoning Code regulates and restricts the height, size of buildings, and other structures,
the percentage of a building site that may be occupied, off-street parking, setbacks, size
of yards, courts, and other open spaces, the density of population, and the location and
use of buildings, structures, and land for trade, industry, residence, or other purposes. In
considering the purposes of the Zoning Code in relation to the proposed request, the
approval of the request will result in a higher density. If approved, the applicant could
conduct improvements to the structures, and establish new commercial and industrial
activities not permitted within the current Open zoning district. In considering the request
in relation to the surrounding zoning, the request will result in an appropriate land use
pattern.
Based on the above information, the proposed request will result in a more
appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience, and
the general welfare of the County.
The proposed request will not burden public agencies to provide utilities and
services to the subject property. Access to the subject parcel is via an entrance off the
County managed Kamehameha Avenue directly into the Hilo Iron Works site. As the
entrance to the site is existing and well used there is no proposed changes or alterations to
this ingress/egress. According to the State Department of Transportation there is adequate
existing access, and that agency did not require any improvements or changes to the
access during the application review.
5-
Water to the project site is already being provided by the County Department of
Water Supply (DWS). There is an existing 6-inch and 12-inch waterline fronting the
project site along Kamehameha Avenue and according to the applicant there is one (1)
water mater servicing the existing parcels on site. According to the Dept. of Water
Supply, water can be made available from the existing 6-inch and 12-inch waterline
within Kamehameha Avenue which both front the subject parcel but may require
additional meters to accommodate the new parcels. The DWS did request that the
applicant submit estimated maximum daily water usage calculations for each new parcel,
for review and approval. Additionally, the DWS stated that the 12-inch waterline within
Kamehameha Avenue is adequate to provide the required 2,000 gallons per minute flow
for fire protection, as per the Department's Water System Standards but that the location
of the fire hydrant was not sufficient and may need to be relocated or a new hydrant
constructed.
Based on the Hawaii County sewer network map an existing gravity main is
located adjacent to the project site, however, according to the County Dept. of
Environmental Management (DEM) - Wastewater Division, the project may require
connection of existing and/or proposed structures to the public sewer in accordance with
Section 21-5 of the Hawaii County Code. Additionally, DEM states they may require a
sewer study to determine of[sic] connection is adequate for proposed development. The
FIRM map identifies the project site to be within Flood Zone VE which is currently
denoted as "coastal areas with a 1% or greater chance of flooding and an additional
hazard associated with storm waves." There is no proposed construction or development
planned at this time, therefore conditions related to development related drainage or
stormwater management have not been included. Future development requests and
subsequent reviews may include those conditions for any future development. All other
essential utilities and services are or can be made available to the site.
The subject request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised
Statues, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The property is located within the
Special Management Area but is not considered a coastal property as it is over 500 feet
from the nearest shoreline (Hilo Bay). While it is not a coastal property, it is adjacent to
6-
the Wailoa River State Recreation Area, and as such the potential for harm to resources
from development/construction runoff would be a concern. However, in this instance, the
entire site is currently developed with parking areas, buildings and other associated
structures and this proposed action does not include external improvements or changes to
the existing development. There is no record of a designated public access that traverses
the property. No valued cultural, historical, or natural resources exist on the property and
there is no evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being
practiced on the site. Thus, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any
adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the area.
In view of the Hawai`i State Supreme Court's "PASH" and "Ka Pa`akai 0
Ka'Aina" decisions, the issue relative to native Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights
must be addressed in terms of the cultural, historical, and natural resources and the
associated traditional and customary practices of the site:
Investigation of valued resources: No formal archaeological reconnaissance
survey, oral history of kama'aina accounts of the area, historical survey of
documentary records, or botanical study was included in the application.
However, the site has been used as a commercial/industrial building (Hilo Iron
Works) since its construction in 1919.
The valued cultural, historical, and natural resources found in the rezoning area:
The property has been used for now over a century as the Hilo Iron Works facility
which includes commercial and light industrial uses and activities. A Ch. 6E-42
review by the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) indicated that while
the Hilo Iron Works building is historic and has a SIHP No., there have been
numerous permitted modifications to the building over the years and as such
determined that the proposed rezone project will have no affect on historic
properties.
Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resources: The Project site is
almost entirely covered with development (e.g., buildings and paved parking) and
includes only limited landscaping with non-native trees and a small grassy area.
Therefore, the proposed rezone project is not anticipated to influence or impact
any valued resources.
Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: No gathering is taking place
on the site, nor has any lineal descendant or native Hawaiian requested access to
the site. Thus, to the extent to which traditional and customary native Hawaiian
rights are exercised, the proposed action will not affect traditional Hawaiian
rights; therefore,no action is necessary to protect these rights.
Based on the above findings, approval of the Change of Zone request from Open (0) to
Industrial-Commercial Mixed-20,000 square feet (MCX-20) would result in an appropriate
land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare.
The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map) Article
8, Chapter 25 (Zoning) of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as Amended) is
provided for your favorable consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval
attached to the draft bill.
