Zoning: Since the initial approval of the Change of Zone Ordinance,the only significant changes to the Zoning Code were the adoption of Ordinance No.07-99(June 2007)regarding concurrency as well as the adoption of the Kona Community Development Plan(September 2008)with Ordinance No. 08-131. Ordinance No.07-99(June 2007) 1. Section 25-2-46(d)(Concurrency Requirements)states the following: (d) Traffic impact analysis report required: A traffic impact analysis report(TIAR), prepared or updated within six months before the submission of the application,shall be included with the application for any zoning amendment that can generate fifty or more peak hour trips. Based on developing 58 single-family residential units,the proposed zoning amendment will generate more than 50 peak hour trips. Given the above,applicant commissioned an updated TIAR for the project site. The report evaluated current conditions as well as the impact the proposed development would have on the surrounding area. Additionally,the report includes projections and analysis for future growth in five,ten,twenty years as required in Hawaii County Code, Section 25-2-46(d)(Concurrency Requirements). The updated TIAR concludes that development of the proposed project will have minimal traffic impact on Alii Drive as well as the surrounding areas. The report did recommend the installation of the following to account for the anticipated growth in traffic by the surrounding areas: • Traffic signal or a roundabout at Alii Drive and Lunapule Road by the year 2025 • Traffic signal or a roundabout at Alii Drive and Royal Poinciana Drive by the year 2035 Please see Exhibit A for Updated TIAR for Alii Palms. 2.
