The subject property, rectangular-shaped and slightly sloping, is proposed to be incorporated into the adjacent proposed Keauhou View Estates subdivision which is a 387-lot subdivision zoned for Single Family Residential in 1983. In May 1996, the ordinance was then amended by Ordinance No. 96-60 by amending the conditions of approval. Access to the subject property will be via subdivision roadways from the adjacent proposed Keauhou View Estates Subdivision.
