A botanical survey prepared by <br /> Winona Char in conjunction with the initial rezoning of the property in 1990 <br /> identified no endangered species. Similarly, a faunal study conducted by Dr. <br /> Andrew Berger identified no endemic ecosystem in the area. <br /> <br /> • Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: The applicant states that in the <br /> event that legitimate gathering claims are made by native Hawaiians, such claims <br /> will be honored and access will be provided to the site. <br /> <br /> Based on the above findings, this request to reclassify the properties from <br /> Neighborhood Commercial 10,000 square feet (CN-10) to Single-Family Residential <br /> 10,000 square feet (RS-10) would result in an appropriate land use pattern and further <br /> benefit the general public. <br /> <br /> For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-3 (North Kona Zone Map), of <br /> the County Zoning Code is transmitted. <br /> <br /> We are enclosing copies of the staff Background and Planning Director's Recommendation for <br /> your information. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> i <br /> <br /> C.
