Non agricultural uses are often permitted in AG zoning by way of a SUP.
By that method a mini industrial park is blooming along Hwy 130 in HPP. There are truck marshaling yards, plumbing supply warehouses and a water hauling company clearly visible from the road by way of an example. All zoned AG1.
In the middle of Pahoa Village the beginnings of a self storage facility is on AG land by way of a SUP. Many, many more examples abound.
In Hilo itself I was always amazed at the way Big Island Candies grew quite huge smack in the middle of a residential neighborhood. I always wondered how happy the neighbors were about it.
While it has it's uses spot zoning and over reliance on SUPs has made kinda of a mess of Hilo.

Assume the best and ask questions.
