The Kona Palisades and Kona Coastview Subdivisions although situated in the State <br /> Land Use Urban District are primarily zoned A-Sa and are essentially non-conforming residential <br /> sized lots ranging between 8,000 and 20,000 squaze feet. <br /> The subject property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be <br /> <br /> properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. There aze no significant drainage <br /> <br /> ways on the subject property. <br /> Your Committee concurs with the following reasons by the Planning Commission and the <br /> <br /> Planning Director for recommending a favorable consideration for the change of zone request: <br /> 1. The zone request conforms with the goals, policies and standards of the General <br /> Plan. <br /> 2. The proposed reclassification is consistent with General Plan Land Use Pattern <br /> Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map which designates the azea for Urban Expansion. <br /> 3. The Kona Regional Plan recommends the area for residential (four units per acre). <br /> 4. All essential services and utilities, including water, wastewater and roadways aze <br /> available to the subject property. <br /> Your Committee amended Bill No. 95 by including conditions and language used consistently in <br /> similaz zoning bills. Other amendments included: <br /> 1. Adding a new Condition E relating to any improvement district to provide for <br /> underground utilities. Because the immediate surrounding area does not <br /> presently have underground utilities, the applicant has agreed to participate in <br /> any improvement district to provide for underground utilities; <br /> 2. Deleting Condition H relating to the applicant's fair share contribution for <br /> regional impacts. It has been a standard policy for the Council to require this <br /> condition, however in this situation, the applicant is only subdividing the subject <br /> property into two lots which have two existing dwellings. There would not be <br /> any increase in the density. The Council has always required such allocations <br /> only for proposed lots which would increase the density; and <br /> 3. Adding a new Condition relating to the applicant's ownership interest for <br /> Ke'oke'o Street. <br /> PC REPORT NO. 60 <br /> <br />
