purposes only. The restrictive covenants contained herein shall run with the land and shall be incorporated into any deed, lease, agreements of sale, mortgage, or other instrument of conveyance executed for the subject property(ies). The Director also proposes to add a new condition, which is the same condition currently included in ordinances for new rezones of properties situated in the Agricultural district.This new condition will allow landowners the ability to establish any agricultural use permitted by HRS Chapter 205 including reasonable and unusual uses that can be established through the issuance of a Special Permit. The proposed condition follows: "The applicant, successors or assigns shall be responsible for complying with all requirements of Chapter 205, Hawai`i Revised Statutes, relating to permissible uses within the State Land Use Agricultural District." PURPOSE OF REQUESTED AMENDMENT 7. The purpose of this current bill (Exhibit D)is to remove the restrictions on the range of agricultural land uses that can occur on the properties in the Kauakea Subdivision, to include all land uses permitted by current State and County law in the Agricultural State Land Use District and County zoning district. CONSISTENCY OF REQUEST WITH PLANS 8. State Land Use District: The properties continue to be situated in the Agricultural district. 9. General Plan LUPAG MAP Designation: The General Plan designation for the properties has not changed from Important Agricultural Land since the property was originally rezoned and subdivided. 10. South Kohala Community Development Plan (CDP): The South Kohala CDP, which was adopted 2008, identifies the property in an area depicted on the Waimea Town Conceptual Plan Map as the East Waimea farm and ranch lots. These lands are considered important for agriculture and are to be used for extensive and intensive farming and ranching, and should not be rezoned for urban or suburban-type land uses. The request is consistent with the CDP in that the properties will continue to be used for agriculture as defined by State and County land use law. -q.
