Lim Carlsmith Ball LLP 121 Waianuenue Avenue Hilo, HI 96721 Dear Mr. Lim: SUBJECT: General Plan LUPAG Map and Kona CDP Determination Tax Map Key: (3) 7- 5- 17:43; Puapua'a 1st, North Kona District, Hawaii This is in response to your February 8, 2010 letter requesting the Planning Director's interpretation of the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide ( LUPAG) map designation for TMK 7 -5- 17:43 and whether the subject property is located inside the Kona Urban Area as defined in the Kona Community Development Plan (CDP). The General Plan LUPAG map designation for the subject property is Urban Expansion Area. In the Official Kona Land Use Map (Figure 4 -7) in the Kona CDP, the line indicating the boundary of the Kona Urban Area runs through the property in a north -south direction. According to the official map metadata (enclosed) contained in "Attachment A" of the Kona CDP, the Kona Urban Area boundary line traces the LUPAG boundaries so that urban designations (ie. urban expansion area, low density urban, industrial) are within the Kona Urban Area and rural designations (ie. important agricultural land) are outside of the Kona Urban Area. Therefore, since the property's LUPAG designation is Urban Expansion Area, the property is also determined to be entirely within the Kona Urban Area. Should you have questions, please contact Maija Cottle of my staff at 961 -8159.
