Stacy Higa, Chairman <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> Page 7 <br /> • Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resources: Native plants maybe <br /> destroyed by construction or ground alteration. Tthere is no evidence that the <br /> flora in the area aze particulazly desired or used for cultural practices. <br /> • Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: According to the applicant, no <br /> gathering is taking place on the site. Thus, to the extent to which traditional and <br /> customazy native Hawaiian rights are exercised, the proposed action will not <br /> affect traditional Hawaiian rights; therefore, no action is necessary to protect these <br /> rights. <br /> Based on the above findings, approval of the Change of Zone request from an <br /> Agricultural (A-20a) to the Agricultural (A-l0a) district would result in an appropriate <br /> land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general <br /> welfaze. <br /> For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-2 (North and South Kona Zone <br /> <br /> Map), of the County Zoning Code is transmitted. <br /> We are enclosing copies of the staff Background and Planning Director's Recommendation for <br /> <br /> your information. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> imo Alameda, Chairman <br /> Planning Commission <br /> Ltotahrez05-021pc2 <br /> Enclosures <br /> cc: Mr. Gregory Mooers <br /> Mr. John Totah <br /> Department of Public Works <br /> Department of Water Supply <br /> Planning Department -Kona <br /> Department of Land & Natural Resources-HPD/Kona <br /> Rodney Hazaga, Director/DOT-Highways, Honolulu <br /> <br />
