COUNTY OF HAWAI`I PLANNING DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION REPORT
RJL, LLC
CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION (PL-REZ-2022-000020)
Upon careful review of the request against the guidelines for granting a change of zone,
the Planning Director is recommending that a favorable recommendation of the Change of
Zone request from Agricultural 3-acre (A-3a) to a Single-Family Residential-15,000 square
feet (RS-15) zoning district for approximately 13.838 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 recommendation based upon additional
information presented at the public hearing. This favorable recommendation is based on the
following findings:
The applicant is requesting a change of zone from Agricultural 3-acre (A-3a)to
Single-Family Residential-15,000 square feet(RS-15)to subdivide the property into
thirty-three (33) lots. According to the application, the subdivided lots will be sold on the
open market to the general public. The proposed subdivision will be accessed via Haihai
Street and Ainaola Drive. Two (2) cul-de-sacs will be built within the subdivision to
access various lots. All newly created roadways will be constructed to County dedicable
standards, with the exception of one (1) 20-foot wide non-dedicable cul-de-sac, which
will be a private road. All lots will have County water and the subdivision will have fire
hydrants, as well as overhead utility lines for power,phone and cable services. There is
no County sewer system in the area, therefore owners will construct individual septic
wastewater systems meeting with the approval of the Department of Health.
The applicant hopes to secure the necessary County rezoning approvals as soon as
possible. The applicant hopes to obtain final subdivision approval in 5 years. The
estimated cost of the improvements for the project is approximately $4 million.
Please note the maximum number of lots that can be created on the 13.838-
acre property is forty (40) should the RS-zoning be granted.

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 also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the
County.
The Change of Zone request from Agricultural 3-acre (A-3a) to Single-
Family Residential 15,000 square feet (RS-15) conforms to the goals, policies and
standards of the General Plan and the Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP).
The General Plan is intended to be used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and
development of all sectors of the County. It sets forth goals,policies, standards, and
courses of action to accommodate growth without congestion, to designate and preserve
the lands needed for residential use, commercial and visitor services, industry,
agriculture, and open space, and to coordinate these uses with the County's service and
circulation systems. The overall goals,policies and standards are set forth to physically
plan the lands in the County in the best interest of the island's residents. Land use is one
of the principal focal points of public concern and policy. The Land Use Element
provides the primary basis for direct control and guidance of publicly and privately-
owned resources. The proposed change of zone will be consistent with the following
goals,policies, and standard of the Land Use-Single-Family Residential Element of the
General Plan:
• Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in
keeping with the social, cultural, and physical environments of the County.
• Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or
projected needs of neighborhood, community, region, and County.
• Zoning request shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation,
district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent
zoned uses, availability ofpublic services and utilities, access, and public need.
-2-
• Designate and allocate single-family residential zoned lands at varying densities
for future use in accordance with the needs of the communities and he stated
goals,policies, and standards.
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 LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban
and non-urban form for areas within the County. The request to change the zoning to RS-
15 zoning district conforms to the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide
(LUPAG) Map which designates the subject property and the surrounding area as Low
Density Urban (LDU). According to the General Plan, the LDU designation allows for
residential, with ancillary community and public uses, and neighborhood and
convenience-type commercial uses; overall residential density may be up to six units per
acre. The proposed 33-lot subdivision is significantly lower than the maximum density
cap allowed in the LDU designation.
The property is irregular in shape with approximately 930 feet frontage along
Haihai Street and 496 feet of frontage along Ainaola Drive. The topography slopes
downward from mauka to makai with grades not exceeding 10 percent. The property was
part of a subdivision in 2018 (SUB 18-01791), which subdivided TMK: 2-4-039:025 into
two (2)parcels, including the subject parcel. The subject property is currently vacant of
uses and structures. The property has been previously cleared and is overgrown with
non-native plants and other invasive species.
Upon rezoning and the subdivision into 33 lots, the landowners could potentially
apply for an `Ohana dwelling, allowing for the construction of a second dwelling unit
(meeting the criteria for an `Ohana dwelling) on each lot for a total of 66 dwelling units.
The State Department of Health recommends restricting the density of the development
using individual wastewater systems (IWS) to no more than 49 residential lots or
dwelling units, because their rules state that subdivisions creating 50 or more lots/units
may not be served by IWS at this time. State environmental law (HRS Chapter 343) also
requires an environmental assessment review if a project proposes a wastewater treatment
-3-
unit or IWS serving 50 or more dwelling units or the equivalent. Additionally, at this time
there are 33 units of water available to the property to support the proposed subdivision,
but more water units may be available in the future. Therefore, the Director would like to
provide for the maximum density of dwellings allowed by the proposed RS-15 zoning to
be established on the property, within the constraints or current law, and to account for
changes in DOH wastewater law in the future. As such, a condition is included for the
applicant to assign 16 accessory dwelling units (ADU's, also known as an `Ohana
dwelling)to the 33 lots and restrictive covenants to restrict additional dwelling units
above the 49-lot threshold that would trigger HRS Chapter 343 review and be contrary to
current DOH wastewater rules. The condition will also allow the flexibility to be
automatically modified to account for any changes in DOH wastewater rules in the
future.
Based on the preceding, the proposed RS-15 zoning would effectuate an increase
in single-family residential density that would be consistent with the LDU LUPAG
designation. This designation reflects the existing low density residential development in
this area of Waiakea Uka. The area is predominantly urban and residential in character
with some agricultural lots. Properties to the west are zoned Single-Family Residential
(RS-15). Properties to the north, south and east are zoned Agricultural (A-3a& A-la).
The majority of the area is within the State Land Use Urban district, including the subject
property. There is a remnant parcel ("Camp 5-A" and TMK: 2-4-039:002)which is
owned by the State of Hawaii, which is located between a portion of the subject parcel
frontage with Ainaola Drive. The proposed change of zone would complement the
existing land uses in this area and will provide for an orderly development of the area.
All utilities and services are available to the site. The proposed subdivision
will be accessed via two (2)road extensions from Haihai Street and Ainaola Drive.
Additionally, there is a 5-foot future road widening setback along the boundary with
Ainaola Drive. There will be two (2) cul-de-sacs built within the subdivision to access
various lots. All newly created roadways will be constructed to County dedicable
standards, except for one (1) cul-de-sac, which will be a private road. At this time, the
applicant is not proposing to install sidewalks on the interior roadways of the
-4-
development. Additionally, DPW-Engineering did not require the installation of
sidewalks. According to DPW-Engineering Division, connection to Ainaola Drive and
Haihai Street will require a County ROW permit in conformance with Hawai`i County
Code, Chapter 22, County Streets. The Planning Department will add this condition as
well as other standard conditions that the applicant comply with the requirements of the
Department of Public Works for the interior roadways and any other roadway
improvements, including the installation of required street lights and traffic control
devices that may be required by the Traffic Division, Department of Public Works, with
design,purchase and installation being the responsibility of the applicant.
Furthermore, DPW recommends that the applicant provide improvements to the
subject property's Ainaola Drive frontage consisting of, but not limited to pavement
widening with paved shoulders and swales, drainage improvements, and any required
utility relocation meeting with the requirements of the American with Disabilities Act.
The applicant finds that imposing these improvements will be excessive and impractical
due to the presence of a concrete drainage culvert and the intervening State-owned land
(TMK: 2-4-039:002)that makes up approximately fifty percent of the project site's
frontage along Ainaola Drive. The Planning Director agrees with the applicant's reasons
for not requiring roadway improvements to Ainaola Drive and therefore is not
recommending adding conditions for roadway improvements.
According to the Department of Water Supply, water can be made available from
the end of an existing 6-inch waterline within Ho`olala Street and Kikaha Street which
fronts the subject parcel. An existing water commitment for 32 additional units of water
for the proposed development was granted until May 31, 2025. Additionally, DWS also
stated that final subdivision approval will be subject to requirements to construct any
necessary water system improvements. Based on the preceding, as a condition of
approval, the applicant will be required to construct and dedicate necessary water system
improvements as required by the Department of Water Supply (DWS)prior to securing
Final Subdivision Approval.
According to the Department of Environmental Management, there is no County
sewer system in the area. The lot owners will need to construct individual septic
-5-
wastewater systems meeting with the approval of the Department of Health. There is no
municipal waste collection services in the County. According to the applicant, solid waste
will be handled by commercial haulers, who will dispose of the refuse at authorized
landfill sites.
Electricity and telephone services are available to the site. The nearest fire station
is located on Haihai Street approximately one mile from the site. The police station is
located in downtown Hilo, approximately three miles from the property. Public schools
are located less than three miles from the site. A condition of approval will require the
applicant or successor to pay a fair share contribution to mitigate potential regional
impacts of the development.
There are no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be
properly rectified, or which would render the land unusable. According to the Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), the property is mainly located within the Flood Zone "X", which is an area
outside of the 500-year flood plain. There is a portion of the property associated with a
branch of the Palai Stream that runs in a south to north direction through the property,
which is within the Flood Zone "AO"„which is the special flood hazard area that
corresponds to the areas of one-hundred-year shallow flooding (usually sheet flow on
sloping terrain)where average depths are between one to three feet. Lastly, there is a
small portion within the subject property that Flood Zone"AH", which is a special flood
hazard area that corresponds to the areas of one-hundred-year shallow flooding (usually
areas of ponding)where average depths are between one and three feet. The topography
of the project slopes slightly to the northeast between the 565-foot and 497-foot
elevation. The property is situated over three (3) miles from the shoreline and thus not
situated within the tsunami inundation area or evacuation area. In order to manage
floodways in the area, the applicant is willing to construct a new underground culvert
system that will channel the floodwaters along the property's eastern boundaries along
Ainaola Drive for disposal into the existing culvert system maintained by the County at
the Haihai Street-Ainaola Drive intersection.
-6-
According to the Department of Public Works—Engineering Division, all
development generated runoff shall be disposed of onsite and not be directed toward any
adjacent properties. A drainage study shall be prepared by a licensed civil engineer and
submitted to the Department of Public Works prior to the issuance of a construction
permit. Any recommended drainage improvements, if required, shall be constructed
meeting with the approval of the Department of Public Works prior to the construction of
any proposed structures on the property. The applicant will also be required to comply
with the County Flood Code. The preceding will be added as conditions of approval.
The subject request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised
Statues, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The property is not located in the
Special Management Area. The subject property is located more than three miles from
the shoreline and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no
record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the
property. According to the applicant, it is not known whether the subject property or
immediate surrounding area have been used in the recent past for the gathering of plants
by Native Hawaiians. The applicant has not observed any Native Hawaiians on the site
or adjoining properties gathering plants and there is no evidence of any traditional and
customary Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site, nor existence of any known
valued cultural, historical, or native resources in the area.
The request will not have a signnificant adverse impact to traditional and
customary Hawaiian Rights. In view of the Hawaii State Supreme Court's "PASH"
and"Ka Pa'akai O 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: An Archaeological Inventory Survey (AIS)
was conducted of the site in 2015. No professional flora or fauna surveys were
conducted of the site. The property has been previously cleared and is overgrown with
non-native plants and other invasive species. The property is located in an urban setting
in an area dominated by single-family residential uses. The applicant does not believe
that rare or endangered floral or faunal resources are on the site.

The valuable cultural, historical, and natural resources found in the rezoning area:
The State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) confired that an archeological inventory
survey (AIS)was completed in 2015 and accepted by SHPD. The AIS documented one
(1)historic site and assessed by SHPD as significant under criterion D. According to the
AIS, the site included twenty-nine mounds, eleven contours which functioned as
sugarcane cultivation. The site was recommended for no further work. Based on the
information, SHPD's determination for the proposed project is "no historic properties
affected." The applicant has stated that during clearing and grading of the property,
SHPD will be notified, and all work shall immediately cease, upon inadvertent discovery
of any archeological or historic feature. No professional flora or faunal survey was
conducted of the property. The property has been previously cleared and is overgrown
with non-native plants and other invasive species. The vegetation within the project area
is primarily non-native, consisting of tree fern, Hilo Grass, California grass, guava and
some native `ohia. According to the Department of Land and Natural Resources Division
of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW)the Hawaiian Hoary Bat or `Ope`ape`a (Lasiurus
cinereus semotus) could potentially occur in the vicinty of the project area and may roost
in nearby trees. Bat birthing and pup rearing season spans from June 1st through
September 15th. Finally, DOFAW reported that the Hawaiian Duck, Hawaiian Stilt,
Hawaiian Coot, Hawaiian Goose (Nene) and the Hawaiian Hawk(Io) as possibly
occuring in the vicinty of the project area. It is against State law to harm or harass this
species. Based on the preceding, DOFAW has provided guidance on measures to avoid
and minimize impacts to the listed species, in addition to guidance on avoiding the spread
of invasive species and pathogens.
Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resources: There may be a
possibility that native plants could be destroyed by construction and ground alteration,
but the site has been cleared and is overgrown with non-native plants and other invasive
species. The subject property does not abut the shoreline, therefore Hawaiian gathering
and fishing rights is not an issue.
Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: No known gathering is taking
place on the site. Thus, to the extent to which traditional and customary native Hawaiian
-8-
rights are exercised, the proposed action will not affect traditional Hawaiian rights;
therefore, no action is necessary to protect these rights.
Lastly, this approval is made with the understanding that the applicant remains
responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements in
connection with the approved use,prior to its commencement or establishment upon the
subject property. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of
building permits, the installation of approved wastewater disposal systems, compliance
with the Fire Code, installation of improvements required by the American with
Disabilities Act(ADA), compliance with DLNR-SHPD requirements, among many
others. Compliance with all applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this
approval; failure to comply with such requirements will be considered a violation that
may result in enforcement action by the Planning Department and/or the affected
agencies.
Based on the preceding, it is believed that the project would have no adverse
impact relative to the archaeological, cultural, or historical resources of the area. To the
extent to which traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights are exercised, the
proposed action will not affect traditional Hawaiian rights and no action is necessary to
protect these rights.
Based on the above findings, approval of this change of zone request from
Agricultural 3-acre (A-3a) to Single-Family Residential-15,000 square feet (RS-15) would
result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the general public.
The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), Chapter 25
(Zoning Code) of the Hawai`i County Code, is provided for your favorable consideration. Please
note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill.
