Aloha, Chair Danielle and Commissioners-
I live in Hilo in the residential zone and I think it is unfair that a use
permit is not required in every zone for Meeting Facilities, for
compelling government reasons-- to protect our residential
neighborhoods from the adverse effects of Meeting Facilities-- creating
road congestion and affecting delivery of emergency services.
Adding an exemption for gatherings of 25 attendees twice a week in
the residential zones is even more unfair to the neighbors. There
would be no plan approval, parking requirements, no hours of
operation, and no technical review by the County Department of Public
Works, County Fire Department, County Water Department and/or
the State Department of Health for compliance with current code and
rule requirements.
Adding the definition of "Event" without requiring a conditional use
permit is wrong. Can events be held in the residential zone, next door
to me?
Thank you for your time.
