47 amending Chapter 25, Zoning Code, of sgd G`v`hkh Bntmsy Code 1983 (1995
Edition) as amended, relating to permitted uses in the Industrial-Commercial Mixed
Use (MCX) District. So, staff, could you do the presentation.
HAYASHI:Thank you, Vice-Chair. This matter was brought before the
Planning Commission at your meeting in Hilo in April.
Basically, what it is is the County Council has submitted a proposed, this bill for your
consideration relating to increasing the types, the permitted uses within the Industrial-
Commercial zoned district. And, basically, the Industrial-Commercial zoned district is
a Mixed Use District, is to allow mixing of some Industrial uses with Commercial uses.

EXHIBIT A
The proposed bill, as I indicated, is to add specific uses to be listed to the permitted
trdr: `mc sg`slr hm xntq aackground report that was sent out to you previously.
We presented our recommendation to you at the Hilo meeting and the recommendation
was to send a favorable consideration on this proposed bill with the exception of four
uses. And one is the adult care center, the crop production, home care and schools
which were being proposed by, for inclusion by the County Council, also, the deletion
of a day care center which is in the current code.
Are there any questions?
FUJIKAWA:Okay, do we have anyone from the public on this -?
KUBOTA:Mr. Chair?
FUJIKAWA:Go ahead, Commissioner.
KUBOTA:I have a question. Norman, you know, just a thought that arose
in my mind, somewhere I read that the deletion of day care centers would have to be in
a separate resolution or a separate, what do they call that, I read it somewhere, and it
sqhffdqdc rnldsghmf- @mc vdlqd hmbktchmf hs as a part of this general recommendation.
How do we treat that?
G@X@RGH9A`rhb`kkx+ vg`s vdlc ad cnhng is sending, if you agree with the
qdbnlldmc`shnm+ vdlkk ad rdmchmf sgd oqnonred ordinance to the County Council with
the exclusion of these four that they had proposed and also recommending the deletion
of a day care center. And this would be part of one bill that would be submitted.
KUBOTA:And it will be okay to treat it as one as long as we delineate the
day care center as a deletion from the now, the present resolution, ordinance?
HAYASHI:That is correct.
KUBOTA:Ordinance.
HAYASHI:That would be basically our recommendation from the Planning
Commission.
KUBOTA:All right, all right. I thought I read somewhere where it needed
sn ad sqd`sdc rdo`q`sdkx- H b`mls ehmc hs-
HAYASHI:Well, just as a matter of, for your information, there are two, I
believe, maps for the Kona area; and there are two areas that are currently within the
Industrial-Commercial, zoned Commercial-Industrial. And one would be the area
2
which would be north of the existing Kona Industrial Subdivision. And another area
would be the area mauka of the current Kaloko Industrial Subdivision where Costco is
located; and that would be this particular area.
FUJIKAWA:Are you done, Commissioner Kubota?
KUBOTA:Yes, I am.
FUJIKAWA:Okay, are there any other questions from the other
Commissioners? Anyone from the general public? No one? If not, do I hear a
motion?
KUBOTA:Mr. Chair, hearing no other comments, I would like to move that
proposed Bill No. 47, amendment to Chapter 25, Hawaii County Code, relating to
permitted uses within the Industrial-Commercial Mixed Use (MCX) District, be
approved with the deletion of adult day care centers, crop production, home care,
schools and day care. And this motion is based on the findings and recommendations
of the Planning Director, along with the clearly defined rationale for the deletion of
Mixed Uses.
MINA:Second it.
FUJIKAWA:Who seconded it? Mina?
MINA:Yes.
FUJIKAWA:It has been moved by Commissioner Kubota and seconded by
Commissioner Mina. Are there any questions? If not, staff.
