GENERAL PERMITTING BACKGROUND AND REZONING CONDITIONS As noted earlier, the subject area was rezoned into the County Agricultural (A -1a) district on August 23, 1995. The approval was subject to a number of conditions. This section will initially cover the status of the various conditions of the rezoning ordinance (Exhibit A) and re -state the specific requests. A. The applicant, successors or assigns, shall be responsible for complying with all of the stated conditions of approval. As noted earlier, at the time of the rezoning, the property was owned by Zane Development Group, Inc. The ownership was subsequently transferred to Royal Keaau Holdings, LLC in May of 2003. In 2008, Renaissance Development, LLC, acquired title to the property and is the current owner of record. The new owner intends to assume the responsibility of complying with all pertinent conditions and any amendments thereto of this rezoning ordinance. B. Final Subdivision Approval of the subdivision development shall be secured within five years from the effective date of this change of zone ordinance. As represented by the applicant, the proposed subdivision shall not exceed a maximum of 36 lots (includes the visitor center lot). This is the condition that the applicant is proposing to amend. The proposed visitor center component was abandoned by the previous owner, and the Special Permit for that project was nullified. (Exhibits B and C) A revised tentative subdivision approval for a proposed 37 -lot subdivision (Figure 2) was issued on June 23, 2004 by the Planning Director. (Exhibit F)
