3. Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to <br /> the original reasons for the change of zone. <br /> The reason for approving the rezoning of the site, which were <br /> articulated in the Planning Department's initial recommendations to <br /> the Planning Commission in reference to the change of zone <br /> application for the property, are still applicable to the project at this <br /> time. These included: <br /> • Consistency with the General Plan LUPAG map and regional <br /> and community planning documents; <br /> • Conformance with intent and purpose of State Land Use Law; <br /> • The absence of known, archaeological, or cultural features and <br /> no rare, threatened, or endangered species of either flora or <br /> fauna on the site. <br /> • All utilities and services are available to the property which is <br /> essential to accommodate urban development <br /> • From a land use perspective, it is more feasible alternative to <br /> infill residential development within this particular area of <br /> North Kona. In doing so, it would tend to alleviate the <br /> conversion of more productive agriculture lands in more <br /> appropriate locations within the North Kona area for Urban <br /> Low Density type uses. Furthermore, the request would <br /> complement the existing and future residential land use patterns <br /> of the surrounding properties. <br /> 4. The time extension granted shall be for a period not to <br /> exceed the period originally granted. <br /> We the applicants are seeking a time extension of 5-years, similar to <br /> the period originally granted to the previous owner. We respectfully <br /> request your favorable consideration to this 5-year time extension <br />
