Jeff. <br /> <br />st <br />DARROW: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Our third item on the agenda as you had mentioned is for 1 <br />Church of Religious Science. They’re requesting an amendment to Special Permit No. 770. Just for <br />clarification, the reason for the request for an amendment to Special Permit No.700 rather than <br />submitting a new permit was a discussion that was held between the Applicant and the Planning <br />Director; and they felt this was the most appropriate course to take as far as this change for the permit. <br /> <br />The location of this application again is within the Puna District. More specifically we’re looking in <br />Hawaiian Paradise Park, again, just along Paradise Drive. And this is on the corner of Paradise and <br />31st Avenue. Again, the zoning, the colors on the map reflect the zoning. The light green is <br />Agricultural 1 acre; and the light blue is Agricultural 3 acres, which is Orchidland Subdivision. This is <br />the General Plan LUPAG for the entire area that identifies both subdivisions within the Rural <br />designation. <br />1 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
