The remaining 15.5 -acre area will continue to be used for the cattle grazing operation. The applicants will continue to dedicate this remaining area for pastoral use. An initial agricultural dedication was granted by the Real Property Tax Division on July 1, 2001 for approximately 16 acres of the property. The applicants and their families will continue the agricultural dedication of the remaining area for pasture use, minus the one -acre project site proposed for the rezoning. 11. Surrounding Zoning/Land Uses: Surrounding properties are in residential uses and zoned A -la to the north along Kawailani Street, RS -10 to the east (makai) and south, and RS -15 to the west (mauka). The three one -acre properties along Kawailani Street zoned A -la were created as a result of a rezoning of 3.44 acres under Ordinance No. 207 effective May 26, 1976. Each lot is improved with a single - family dwelling. 12. ALISH: Unclassified. 13. Land Study Bureau's Detailed Land Classification System: Urban. 14.

FEMA: The project site is designated Zone 'W", areas determined to be outside the 500- year flood plain. The Waiakea or Kawailani Stream abutting the project site to the south is designated "AE ", an area within the 100 -year flood plain. The project site is not affected by the stream. 16. Flora /Fauna: As the project site is improved with a single - family dwelling and used for pastoral purposes, no professional flora or fauna study was conducted of the site.

The area has not been identified as a significant botanical or biological habitat. 17.
