Honorable K. Angel Pilago <br /> Page 2 <br /> Furthermore, both applicants are required to improve <br /> what is called "Easement 1" that covers land lying outside of the <br /> affected parcels' boundaries. "Easement 1" must be improved as a <br /> condition in SUB 2000-0201 and functions as a connector road <br /> between Kuakini Highway and Queen Kaahumanu Highway. When the <br /> area of "Easement 1" is added into the area of each parcel, the <br /> total "involved" area will probably exceed 15 acres for each <br /> parcel. <br /> Section 205-3.1(a), HRS emphasizes that the affected <br /> land area is the key criterion: <br /> "(c) District boundary amendments involving land <br /> areas greater than fifteen acres shall be processed <br /> by the land use commission." <br /> In summary, the Executive Director's conclusion has <br /> merit and you should study this issue before taking action on the <br /> two applications. <br /> B. Zoning Issues <br /> 1. Puaa Development (CN-20) <br /> Bill 32 proposes to rezone 14.973 acres (TMK 7-5- <br /> 17: 1) to CN-20. This parcel lies along the makai side of Queen <br /> Kaahumanu Highway. In its formal application (rezoning <br /> checklist), the applicant states that it does not propose to <br /> subdivide the parcel after rezoning and, further, that it has not <br /> conducted a study to determine the need for its project. The <br /> County Council is now being asked to rezone the parcel for some <br /> <br /> generalized "concept." <br /> Bill 32 states that the applicant may build at <br /> least 100 "housing" units (housing is permitted in a CN zoning <br /> <br /> district), but there is no subdivision or housing proposal <br /> appended to the application. The application shows plans for <br /> commercial development only. Bill 32 simply rezones the parcel <br /> to CN-20, which action will permit the applicant to place <br /> commercial uses, housing and other uses on the parcel in any <br /> combination of its choosing. <br /> <br />
