for sugar cane crops. Since the demise of the sugar cane industry, and a few periods of backyard gardening, this property has been overgrown mostly with Hilo grass and weeds. c. Number of acres/square feet: 2.724 acres d. Proposed units/lots/floor area of proposed building envelope: Maximum of two (2) lots, consisting of 1+ acre each. e. Timeframe and cost: The applicants hope to secure the necessary County rezoning approval as soon as possible and begin the subdivision process immediately thereafter. Tentatively, the applicants hope to have the land subdivided before the end of 2016. The estimated on and off-site cost of improvements would be nearly $20,000. f. Membership size/number of employees and clientele: None. g. Parking arrangement: Ample parking available. h. Traffic impacts (assessment of existing traffic conditions, anticipated increase in traffic and traffic impacts from proposed use): The existing ambient traffic level in this area is quite low. As such, the corresponding noise level is quite low. With the completion of this project, the noise level is not anticipated to increase. There may, however, be short-term noise impacts associated with the construction of the infrastructure (such as driveway access improvements) for the proposed subdivision. Contractors will be required to comply with appropriate noise and related mitigation measures of the State Department of Health. i. Other related information: None. j. Proposed on-site and off-site infrastructure: No additional infrastructure required. B. CONFORMANCE WITH STATE/COUNTY PLANS 2. State Land Use Designation: The 2.724 acres of the subject property are designated Family Agriculture— 2 acres (FA-2a). The entire area is proposed to be reclassified into the Family-Agricultural (FA-1a) district. Based on the size of the requested area, no State Land Use Commission action is required. The County of Hawai'i can process the State Land Use boundary amendment and rezoning requests. (See Attachment "B") 3. How the proposed use is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Coastal Zone Management (existing public access, scenic or open space recourses, coastal view planes, and coastal ecosystems). The site is not located within the County Special Management Area (SMA). As such, no SMA Use Permit would be required. However, as the entire island falls within the State Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Area, some discussion of the request's relationship to the CZM Program is found in Chapter IX, Regulatory Analysis. 2
