The applicant requested a State Land Use Boundary Amendment for approximately 14.533 acres of land from the Agricultural to the Urban district and a change of zone for approximately 14.533 acres of land from the Agricultural 5 -acre (A -5a) to the Single Family Residential — 10,000 square foot (RS -10) district. The property is located along the west (makai) side of Hienaloli — Kahului Road, adjacent to and north of the Kona Heights Subdivision -Unit 11, Hienaloli, North Kona, Hawaii. Although the Planning Director recommended approval of the applications, the Planning Commission voted to send unfavorable recommendations for the requests to the County Council due to the fact that the local congestion effects cannot be reasonably remedied by this developer with the proposed project and the Commission cannot, thereby, authorize this project to proceed in good faith to the members of the community.
