The applicant believes the proposed reduction of lot size to two acres is <br /> consistent with the surrounding properties in the Kanehoa and Anekona <br /> subdivisions. The subject property is adjacent to a parcel that is in the Rural District <br /> <br /> and zoned RA-2a by the County. There are eight other similarly zoned parcels in the <br /> Anekona and Kanehoa Subdivisions. Other surrounding parcels are 5-acre zoned <br /> parcels as part of the Kanehoa Subdivision which was approved by the County of <br /> <br /> Hawaii within the Unplanned zoned district. The Unplanned district applies to areas <br /> which were not subjected to sufficient studies to adopt specific district classification <br /> and the minimum building site area in this district is five acres. With the passage of <br /> the new zoning code in December 1996, this unplanned zone was eliminated and all <br /> <br /> land within this zone became Agricultural 5-acre. Twenty-eight of these lots have <br /> been subdivided to the two acre size via the CPR process without the benefit of <br /> review by the County of Hawaii and the subdivision code. Additional units have also <br /> been added by the Ohana home process.
