Landscaping shall be indicated on the plans for the purpose of mitigating any potential adverse noise or visual impacts to adjoining parcels. Landscaping shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of Planning Department's Rule No. 17 (Landscaping Requirements)." The applicant is requesting a 5-year time extension from the date of approval of this proposed amendment to complete construction of a proposed six(6) -unit, multiple- family apartment building with a commercial kitchen on the ground floor. The non-performance is the result of conditions that could not have been foreseen or are beyond the control of the applicant, successors or assigns, and that are not the result or their fault or negligence. The applicant acquired the subject property in March, 2007, and has stated that since this timeframe coincided with the economic recession,he was unable to complete construction within the 5-year construction deadline. Additionally, the applicant is in the process of securing the required financing to complete the proposed development. Approval of this request would not be contrary to the General Plan or Zoning Code nor the original reasons for granting the Change of Zone. There have not been any significant changes to the General Plan for this area since this request was originally approved that would affect this project. The property is zoned CV-7.5, is located within the State Land Use Urban District, and is Designated Medium Density Urban by the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide(LUPAG)map. In addition,the Kona Community Development Plan (KCDP) was adopted by Ordinance 08-131 on September 25,2008 by the Hawai`i County Council. The project site is within the Kona Urban Area and the Kailua Village Redevelopment Transit Oriented • Development area. Within the Kona Urban Area, growth would be directed to compact villages located along proposed transit routes or to infill areas within, or adjacent to, existing development. Based on the preceding, the subject property is consistent with the intent of the CDP by directing infill growth adjacent to existing development in the Kona Urban Area. Finally,the subject parcel is located within the Kailua Village Special District, which means that proposed construction plans are subject to architectural and design review by the Kailua Village Design Commission which will be required as a condition of this permit.
