F. Hawaii caltql Zone Management Program <br /> The objectives of the Hawaii Coastal Zone Management (CZM) <br /> Program are outlined in Chapter 205a, Hawaii Revised Statutes. <br /> The principal goal is to assure the protection and maintenance of <br /> the State's coastal resources. Although the entire State falls within <br /> the CZM area, the permitting process is geared for those areas <br /> proximate to the coast and identified by the County as the Special <br /> Management Area. Nonetheless, a general review of a project's <br /> consistency to the CZM policies - regardless of its location - must <br /> still be made. <br /> In that regard, please note the following: <br /> 0 The proposed project will not have any substantial adverse <br /> environmental or ecological effect. (Please refer to discussions <br /> in Chapters V, VI, and VII). Any effect that may result will be <br /> minimized to the extent practicable and will be clearly <br /> outweighed by public interest. <br /> The proposed development would be consistent with the <br /> objectives of the CZM program. Specifically: <br /> • there would be no impact to the area's recreational <br /> resources. This is not a shoreline property; <br /> O the site does not have any known historical resources <br /> that require preservation. Any inadvertent finds will be <br /> addressed pursuant to the requirements of the State <br /> DLNR-HPD. <br /> • the project will not affect any scenic and open space <br /> resources; <br /> O the coastal ecosystem will not be impacted; <br /> O the project will help stabilize employment opportunities by <br /> providing additional market house lots, and hence <br /> furthering the economic uses of the site; <br /> O the site i more than a mile from the shoreline, and thus <br /> there would beno coastal hazard or beach erosion or <br /> marine resource impacts; and <br /> 21 <br />
