Valerie T. Poindexter, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`i Page 3 Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the General Plan or the Zoning Code or for the original reasons for granting the permit. The LUPAG designation for the subject parcel is Resort Node and the Project District zoning allows for a mixture of residential, resort, commercial and recreational uses. Moreover, the project continues to be consistent with goals, policies and actions articulated in the Land Use and Economic elements of the General Plan. In addition, land use policies in the 2008 Kona Community Development Plan (KCDP), direct urban growth into compact, mixed-use communities that provide a mix of uses, services and amenities in the same development. The Kaupulehu Project District is guided by Director approved Master Plans that are consistent with this preferred development pattern. The original reasons for the approval of the Project District Ordinance are still applicable, and the time extension request is not contrary to these reasons. The proposed uses continue to be an appropriate use of lands within the Project District and the remaining development is consistent with the surrounding land use pattern. Moreover, the infrastructures and facilities will remain privately developed and managed, so continued development will not place undue burden on the County to provide those services. Plans for future development of the Property have not significantly changed since the Planning Commission and County Council originally approved the subject ordinance, so the requested amendment would not be contrary to the original reasons for granting Project District Ordinance 99 42. Lastly,this approval is made with the understanding that the applicant remains responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements in connection with the approved use, prior to its commencement or establishment upon the subject properties. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of building permits, compliance with the Fire Code, installation of improvements required by the American with Disabilities Act(ADA), among many others. Compliance with all applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this approval; failure to comply with such requirements will be considered a violation that may result in enforcement action by the Planning Department and/or the affected agencies. Based on the preceding, the Planning Director recommends that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council to amend Project District Ordinance No. 99 42. In addition, the Planning Director recommends revision of some existing conditions in the ordinance to reflect current standard language for conditions of approval. The accompanying draft bill reflects these recommendations and changes. Material to be deleted is bracketed and struck-through; new material is underscored.
