EXHIBIT A • Rural Area. Outside of the Kona Urban Area, the character of the rural areas should prevail. This means that limited future growth should be directed to the existing rural towns and villages in a way that revitalizes and enhances the existing rural lifestyle and culture of those communities. Outside of these towns and villages, the protection of important agricultural land is a priority objective. Protecting these lands requires regulations and incentives that will keep these lands available for agricultural use. Any development outside of the rural towns and villages should be directed to suitable areas that are not important for agriculture, in clustered patterns that will optimize the preservation of rural open space. • Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide(LUPAG) Map. Within and outside the Kona Urban Area, the LUPAG map designates areas for resort, high density urban, medium density urban, low density urban, industrial, and university areas. The plan supports these existing designations. Any amendments to the LUPAG map not consistent with the Figure 4-7 Official Kona Land Use Map would be contrary to the land use framework envisioned by this plan. • Green Areas, The areas where growth should not occur also determines the framework and pattern of growth. These areas are identified and discussed in Section 4.3 Environmental Resources. The following "tools" are used to conform growth to the land use framework: 1. To encourage growth towards the Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs): a) Design Flexibility. To collaboratively learn and apply the best available practices, a Design Center (see Policy LU-4.1) will provide an inviting venue to brainstorm ideas among applicants, government officials, and community members. The Village Design Guidelines (Attachment B) provide the minimum standards for TODs/TNDs, but do not rigidly constrain creativity. b) [StFeamlined-PeFMit]Coordinated Processing. • For projects reviewed by the Design Center, a planning staff member may be assigned to help coordinate permit approvals for the proposed proiect's application process. 1F46416 eppreva[ The OffiGial Kona Land Use Map (Figure 4 7) appFeximat* le-r--ate-s the Tn--DE;, but it does nOt Ghange the existing zeRiRg URtil a FeZ9RiRg with aR appFeved masteF piaR f9F the TOID defines the metes and bounds of this TO 9theF wE)Fds, the TON are " " floatingzenes that subsequently need to be aRGIIOFe� Fezenlng te a speGifiG aFea.
