Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii Page 19 In addition to the applicant's above requested amendments, deletion and addition to conditions,the Planning Director recommends deletions, additions, and amendments of other existing conditions in the ordinance, to include but not be limited to the following conditions, to reflect the current standard language for conditions of approval and to reflect conditions the applicant has already complied with.

Several conditions of the ordinance reference occupancy as the trigger or deadline for providing road and park improvements. The Planning Director recommends adding this condition, which uses the definition of`occupancy' from the Concurrency Standards section of the Zoning Code. In this definition there are three types of occupancy triggers for various land uses. The first is at final subdivision approval by the Planning Department when single-family residential lots are created but homes are not yet built before the lots are sold.

After adoption of the amended ordinance, the applicant's Regulating Plan should be updated to reflect the amended ordinance conditions and provided to the Planning Department for implementation of the Project District. Policy LU-2.4 of the KCDP and Section 25-6-49.1 of Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) Hawaii County Code, allow amendments to the Master Plan to be processed by the Planning Director, if authorized in the Project District ordinance by the County Council. Given the project size, complexity of implementing new planning concepts of design and smart growth, and anticipated lengthy duration of the project, it is reasonable to anticipate that some changes may be needed to the current Master Plan ("Regulating Plan"). Thus, the Planning Director recommends amendment of this condition to give
