Since this recommendation is made without the benefit of public testimony, the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this position based upon additional information presented at the public hearing. This favorable recommendation is based on the following findings: The applicant is requesting a 5-year time extension to comply with Condition E of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 09 131, which states: "Final Subdivision Approval shall be secured within five (5)years from the effective date of this ordinance. " This condition required final subdivision approval within the rezone area be secured by November 4, 2014. In April 2015, the Planning Director issued an administrative time extension until November 4, 2019 to comply with Condition E. The applicant did not obtain Final Subdivision Approval because the road access to the Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX)rezone area was not constructed or bonded by the deadline due to delays with the overall Palamanui Development schedule. The 29.92-acre rezone area is a portion of an approximately 70-acre area titled "Palamanui Business Park"under the Project District designation of the Palamanui Development on the subject property. The applicant plans to use the area for wholesaling and distribution uses, which the Project District zoning does not permit. The 29.92-acre area is proposed to be subdivided into approximately 35±lots ranging in size from 20,000 to 62,000 square feet to sell or develop into uses permitted under the MCX zoning. The applicant anticipates developing distribution and wholesaling uses, as well as retail and office uses on the site. A mix of buildings from 5,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet is anticipated. The cost of the initial improvements is estimated at approximately$3 million. Individual projects on the lots will be constructed in the future -1-
