The subject property, which is part of a 1.95 acre rectangular-shaped lot, owned in fee by the applicant and Kamehameha Schools, will be subdivided into two single family residential lots and will be incorporated into the Bayview Estates at Keauhou Phase II subdivision, a proposed 45-lot single family residential development adjacent to and immediately north and west of the subject property. The subject property is currently vacant, heavily vegetated, and is occasionally used for grazing. On January 22, 1992, Ordinance No. 92-4 changed the district classification from Unplanned to Single Family Residential (RS-15) to enable the development of the first phase of Bayview Estates at Keauhou (a 54-lot residential subdivision). On August 4, 2000, Ordinance No. 00-84 amended the State Land Use Boundary from the Agricultural to the Urban District to facilitate the development of Bayview Estates at Keauhou Phase II (a 45-lot single-family residential subdivision). On August 21, 2000, Ordinance No. 00-85 changed the district classification from Agricultural (A-Sa) to Single Family Residential (RS-15) for the Bayview Estates at Keauhou Phase II subdivision. This is also the effective date of the Special Management Area Use Permit No. 400 approved by the Planning Commission. On February 6, 2001, Ordinance Nos. 01-14 and 01-15 changed the SLU from Agricultural to Urban District and changed the district classification from Agricultural (A-Sa) to Single Family Residential (RS-15) fora 10-lot single family residential subdivision. The Keauhou Resort lands were master-planned in the 1960's and 1970's to allow for the orderly development of residential communities within a resort setting. The Project is intended to help meet the growing demand for residential lots in the Keauhou Resort area and allow for the expansion of an existing subdivision in an orderly and cost-effective manner. The General Plan identifies the Keauhou-Kona area as a Major Resort Destination. The LUPAG Map designates the area of the subject property for Urban Expansion uses, which allows for a mix of high density, medium density, low density, industrial and/or open designations in areas PC-20
