developed in a manner where it blends with the existing terrain and enhances the natural environment through the introduction of landscaping. Although the project site is in excess of 800 feet from the ocean, it is also separated by other developments from the ocean. As such, some of the usual coastal resources concern would not be pronounced. There will be no interference with shoreline access. Then, too, by hooking up into the County's wastewater system, impacts to the coastal water should be minimized. There will be little impact to public facilities. The water system will be developed in a manner meeting with the requirements of the DWS. All required off-site improvements will be constructed by the applicant. Schools and other public facilities are also located proximate to the site, most of them being less than five (5) miles away. Additionally, the applicant is prepared to dedicate 5 acres of land for a school site. Another major infrastructure issue relates to traffic and road improvements. Inasmuch as the project will generate in excess of 50 AM/PM peak movements, a TIAR is required per the concurrency provision of the Zoning Code. In that regard, an updated TZAR, dated October 3, 2019, was prepared by The Traffic Management Consultant and found in its entirety in Exhibit D. In reviewing the subject project in conjunction with the proposed residential development on the adjoining parcel, the TIAR made the following recommendations: 1. Improvements at the intersection of Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway and Pua'puaanui Street. (This is already addressed in Condition F.) 2. Construction of the spine road. (This is already addressed in Conditions H, I, and K.) The estimated cost of these improvements is over $7.5 million. On other land use matters, it is noted that the existing CN -20 zoning is consistent with the Medium Density Urban Area of the LUPAG map. It would also be compatible with the surrounding areas. There are multiple -family residential and commercial uses in the immediate vicinity of the subject site. 26
