A small portion of the makai (seaward) portion of the parcel is within the AE and VE flood zones, which is within the 100 -year coastal food range, or 1% flood probability for any given year. Staff notes that the property is outside both the 3.2 ft. Sea Level Rise Exposure Area, and the 3.2 ft. Passive Flooding Area according to the State of Hawaii Sea Level Rise Viewer (SLR-Xa).

The applicant has stated they will comply with any recommendations or requirements related to drainage. The project site will be accessed from the existing driveway to Kalaniana`ole Steet, in addition to an additional driveway access to Kamehameha Avenue. Because the project is anticipated to only generate approximately twenty-one (21) peak hour trips no traffic impact analysis was completed.

The property is located within the Special Management Area but is not considered a coastal property as it is over 80 feet from the nearest shoreline (Reeds Bay Ice Ponds). The applicant has submitted, simultaneously with this application, a Special Management Area Use permit application for review and approval should the requested Change of Zone be approved. While it is not a coastal property, it is adjacent to the Reeds Bay Ice Ponds, and as such the potential for harm to resources from development/construction runoff would be a concern. The
