COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
WAIKOLOA LAND COMPANY
CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION NO. PL-REZ-2021-000004
Upon careful review of the applicant's request against the guidelines for granting a Change of
Zone, the Planning Director is recommending that a favorable recommendation of the request
for a Change of Zone from an Open and Multiple-Family Residential-8,000 square feet
(RM-8) zoning district to a Multiple-Family Residential-6,000 square feet(RM-6) and
Single-Family Residential-10,000 square feet(RS-10) zoning district be forwarded to the
County Council. Since this recommendation is made without the benefit of public testimony,
the Planning Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this position based upon additional
information presented at the public hearing. This favorable recommendation is based on the
following findings:
The Waikoloa Land Company has requested a Change of Zone from an Open and
Multiple-Family Residential-8,000 square feet(RM-8) zoning district to a Multiple-
Family Residential-6,000 square feet(RM-6) and Single-Family Residential-10,000
square feet(RS-10) zoning districts for 45.9 acres of land identified as "Area A" of the
proposed Kumu Hou at Waikoloa project. The applicant is specifically requesting the
following:
■ Rezone portions of Parcel 021,which is 22.609 acres from RM-8 to RM-6
■ Rezone portions of Parcel 021, 027, 028, 031 which is 16 acres from Open
to RM-6
■ Rezone portions of Parcel 021,which is 4.1 acres from RM-8 to RS-10.
■ Rezone portions of Parcel 021 and 028, which is 3.3 acres from Open to
RS-10.
The requested Change of Zone is part of the Kumu Hou at Waikoloa project
encompassing a total of approximately 189.2 acres. "Area A" of the Kumu Hou project
encompasses 45.9 acres of land and will include the following components:
■ Up to 264 multi-family residential units already located on the Resort's
existing master plan, which could be marketed as timeshare units;
-1-
■ Up to 25 single-family residential lots; and
■ Associated landscaping, internal roads, cart paths, employee and other
parking and related infrastructure, as consistent with the proposed uses.
The 264 timeshare units that are already located within the resorts existing master
plan currently span over several zoned parcels that are located within an area in "Area
B". This request would be to consolidate the timeshare units to two large parcels as a part
of a land exchange between the applicant and the Hilton Grand Vacations.
"Area A" consists of three (3) sub-areas: "JI" and"J2", which will include the
proposed entitled 264 multi-family time share units and related improvements, and sub-
area"L2"which is proposed to include 25 single-family lots. Access to sub-areas: "J1"
and"J2"will be from Waikoloa Beach Drive (North) via Puakala Place, an existing,two-
way, two-lane private roadway that currently accesses a Hilton Grand Vacations
operations center. This roadway is shown on the public access plan as a"Proposed
Roadway with Sidewalks."Access to sub-area"L2"will be via an easement over a
proposed roadway through the `Ainamalu residential subdivision being developed to the
north of"Area A".
The Kumu Hou development is proposed to be constructed in three (3)phases
over a 17-year period(2026—2043). However, the applicant notes that these timeframes
are conceptual and for modeling purposes, and that actual implementation of the
development will be dependent on a myriad of factors (e.g., economic, market, finance,
community, environmental, etc.)that will manifest over time. With this in mind, the
Planning Director believes that since this is an established resort and any long-range
plans for the area will not change over time, a construction timetable for the Kumu Hou
at Waikoloa project is not warranted.
Finally, the applicant has concurrently submitted two Special Management Area
Use Permit requests to develop the 264 multi-family timeshare units and 25 single family
residential lots and other related infrastructure within a portion of land identified as "Area
A" of the proposed Kumu Hou at Waikoloa Project.
In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable
goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only
-2-
through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decision can
be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the
General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and
decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the
County.
The Change of Zone request from an Open (0) and Multiple Family
Residential-8,000 square feet(RM-8)zoning district to Multiple Family Residential-
6,000 square feet(RM-6) and Single Family Residential-10,000 square feet(RS-10)
zoning district conforms to, among others, applicable goals, policies and standards
of the General Plan and the South Kohala Community Development Plan (CDP). In
order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals,
policies, and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only
through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions
can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the
General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and
decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the
County.
Resort developments are created to satisfy the needs and desires of both the
visitors and residents. Such areas have basic amenities and attributes which attract the
development of visitor accomodations and related facilities. Almost every successful
resort area has a harmonious combination of certain characteristics, such as climate,
scenery, recreational amenities and other man-made facilities. In this instance,the
proposed project area is located within the Waikoloa Beach Resort complex, which
encompasses approximately 1,353 acres between the Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway and
the ocean and includes open spaces (two, 18-hole golf courses and natural lava fields),
three (3)resort hotels and timeshare developments,resort residential multi- and single-
family units,two commercial shopping centers, performance amphitheater, a golf
clubhouse, a beach clubhouse and related improvements. The proposed zoning would
provide visitors and residents with residential and recreational amenities and is intended
to be accessory and complementary to the existing adjacent resort facilities and will
-3-
conform to, among others,the following applicable goals, policies and standards of the
General Plan Economic, Environmental,Natural Beauty and Land Use Element.
The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG)Map component of the General
Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated
growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical
relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban
and non-urban form for areas within the County. The proposed Multiple-Family
Residential and Single-Family Residential zoning conforms to the General Plan Land Use
Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map which designates the project area as Resort
Node (ren). Such designation allows a mix of visitor-related uses such as hotels,
condominium-hotels (condominiums developed and/or operated as hotels), single family
and multiple family residential units, golf courses and other typical resort recreational
facilities, resort commercial complexes and other support services. Only Major Resort
Areas are identified as Resort Nodes on the LUPAG Map. The LUPAG Map also
designates the entire property's Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway frontage and along the
shoreline as Open Area, which is generally for parks, historic sites and open spaces. As
part of the development, the applicant is also proposing to provide a minimum of 12.8
acres of open space land within "Area A" as naturalized lava.
Furthermore, while this area is not considered a coastal development, proposed
public access facilities will be developed to connect the Kumu Hou project subarea J1
and J2 of"Area A"to existing shoreline public accesses makai of the resort. A condition
of the concurrent SMA Use Permit for this area will require an update to the existing
approved public access plan to incorporate these new proposed facilities and public
access connectivity.
The State Land Use Designation for the property is Urban. The property is
designated Urban by the Land Study Bureau's Productivity Rating. Additionally, the
project area is covered by the South Kohala Community Development Plan (SKCDP),
which was adopted by the Hawaii County Council by Ordinance No. 2008-159 on
November 20, 2008.
-4-
Several SKCDP goals, policies, and actions reference resort areas, including
directing the development of timeshares to the district's three (3)major destination
resorts. Other goals,policies and actions include: protection of historical,natural, and
cultural resources; requiring water conservation measures for new, large scale
development projects; ensuring the quality of South Kohala's groundwater and marine
resources (including the expansion of water quality monitoring); providing support for
water and wastewater facility upgrades; promoting the prohibition of future injection
wells in the SMA if wastewater is not treated to an R-I level of water quality; fostering
the preservation of scenic views and landscapes, and conducting all activities and uses
with clear environmental stewardship and sustainability methods. While many of the
preceding are not explicitly directed at resort areas, they are built into the proposed
development proposal for the Kumu Hou project.
Based on the preceding, the requested change of zone conforms to the General
Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG)Map for this area and the goals,
policies and standards of the Land Use (Resort) elements of the General Plan.
All essential utilities and services are available to the site. The Waikoloa
Beach Resort is serviced by a private water system meeting the standards and
requirements of the Department of Water Supply. It is anticipated that the increase in
water use will still be within acceptable amounts for the private system. The subdivision
is also serviced by a private wastewater system meeting the standards and requirements
of the Department of Health. Conditions of approval will require the applicant to install
and/or upgrade any necessary water and sewer lines to connect to the private water and
sewer lines within the adjacent streets.
Police, fire,medical, and emergency services are available nearby. According to a
comment memo from the Police Department, the increase in population resulting from
the 1,000+time share units (within the overall Kumu Hou project) will lead to an
increased burden on public safety services such as police and fire/rescue. A condition of
approval will require the applicant or successor to pay a fair share contribution to
mitigate potential regional impacts from the development for the 25 residential lots as the
264 timeshare units were already approved for and located within the Waikoloa Beach
-5-
Resort master plan. Electrical services will be provided by Hawaiian Electric—Hawai`i
Island. All other essential utilities and services are available to the property.
Pursuant to the concurrency section of the Zoning Code (HCC 25-2-45(d)), the
applicant submitted a Traffic Impact Report(TIR)that assessed the traffic impacts of
"Areas A and B" of the Kumu Hou project("Area C' is not expected to generate any
meaningful traffic). The TIR studied three (3) intersections in the vicinity of Kumu Hou
including at Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway/Waikoloa Beach Drive (South); Queen
Ka`ahumanu Highway/Waikoloa Beach Drive (North); and Queen Ka`ahumanu
Highway/Mauna Lani Drive and found that all three intersections currently operate at
acceptable levels-of-service (between LOS A and LOS D) in the AM and PM peak
hours. The applicant noted that data used for the analysis was collected in 2019 at traffic
count survey stations along the highway and at Waikoloa Road due to the lack of
accurate traffic data attributed to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic at the time of the study.
For purposes of TIR, Kumu Hou was assumed to be fully built-out by 2045, at
which time,the project was expected to generate 356 and 430 new vehicular trips during
the project's AM and PM peak hours,respectively. The TIR concluded that while the
LOS ratings along Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway could be worse in 2045 compared to
2019, these declines are expected to be the result of regional growth rather than directly
attributable to the Kumu Hou development.
The TIR provided several recommendations to mitigate future traffic impacts,
including the provision of adequate site distance, adequate loading and turn-around areas
for service, delivery and refuse collection vehicles, sufficient turning radii,
wayfinding/destination signage, improved pedestrian facilities including ADA sidewalks,
shared use and other facilities, bicycle facilities, shuttle services, and the preparation of
additional traffic studies to verify projected traffic after the completion of the 676
residential/timeshare unit or if project conditions should change significantly.
After review of the draft TIR, the State DOT provided comment disagreeing with
some of the TIRs analysis and resulting findings, the most significant of which is the
study's reliance on the yet to be programmed widening of Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway
in the vicinity of the project. DOT requested that the TIR be revised to re-analyze future
-6-
traffic conditions without the widening assumption (which may have a direct, negative
impact on LOS findings). Additionally, DOT further requested that the report be updated
to identify future direct impacts from the project to State roadways (if any), identify
appropriate mitigation measures and commit to implementing them as required and
approved by DOT. Further, DOT suggested that the TIR be updated to include follow-up
activities including commitments that local and fair regional mitigation be implemented,
planned updates to the TIAR, suggest, permitting triggers, and articulate fair share
agreements for regional improvements, as well as other standard DOT requirements.
According to the applicant, upon subsequent consultation with their traffic
engineer, the TIR analysis included the widening of Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway in the
Year 2045, at full project buildout, and not sooner which would have negatively impacted
level of service within the first five (5) years of the project. Thus,the TIR meets Zoning
Code (Section 25-2-46) concurrency requirements, and the applicant has committed to
submitting an updated TIAR as recommended in the TIR.
Additionally, the applicant has stated that they and other owners within the WBC
have already satisfied all obligations to mitigate direct impacts and regional improvement
by installing a four-way, channelized, signalized intersection at Queen Ka`ahumanu
Highway and the Waikoloa Beach Road extension,thus no fair share agreements for
improvements are necessary at this time.
As the 264 timeshare units were previously entitled and addressed in past
ordinances for the area of the Waikoloa Beach Resort and this rezone is being done to
effectuate a land swap, the applicant has proposed to complete a new TIAR once the
development of 400 timeshare units have been completed within "Area B" of the Kumu
Hou Project. This new study would provide an updated traffic baseline and update
findings and proposed mitigation based on the new data for review and approval by DOT.
The Director agrees with the need to provide an updated TIAR as recommended in the
TIR.
The concurrency section of the Zoning Code (HCC Section 25-2-46(0)) also
requires the provision of a Civil Defense siren to provide adequate warning coverage
across the entire project site as part of a rezoning that proposes 25 or more residential
-7-
units. Neither of the existing sirens situated in the makai area of the WBC (installed after
the 2011 tsunami)have the required audible range to provide the necessary coverage for
the Kumu Hou PD. Thus, a condition of approval will require the installation of a civil
defense siren prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy for any structure within the
project area.
The subject property is in the Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) Boundary of
the former Waikoloa Maneuver Area. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will manage
any investigations, clean-up and long-term monitoring on land that have potential
unexploded ordinances for precautionary measures. A condition of approval will require
the applicant to consult with the Army Corps of Engineers to address not only the area
within the project area, but also the passive recreational areas where people may walk or
bike.
Various conditions of approval have been added to ensure the development
complies with other sections of the Zoning Code related to landscaping, off-street
parking, and loading, building density, minimum yards, and setbacks, and building height
limits.
The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A,Hawaii Revised Statutes,
relating to Coastal Zone Management Area. The subject property is situated fully
within the Special Management Area but is not considered a"shoreline"property as its
closest point to the shoreline is located approximately 5,400 feet from the nearest
shoreline and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. As stated above,
the applicant has submitted two concurrent requests for a Special Management Area
(SMA) Use Permit to allow for the proposed development within "Area A" of the Kumu
Hou Development. Furthermore,while this area is not considered a coastal development,
proposed public access facilities will be developed to connect"Area A" of the Kumu Hou
development to existing shoreline public accesses makai of the resort. A condition of the
concurrent SMA Use Permit for this area will require an update to the existing approved
public access plan to incorporate these new proposed facilities.
There are no irresolvable geological or topographical problems for the property
that cannot be properly rectified, or which would render the land unusable. The Flood
-8-
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) indicate that the area is located in Zone "X",which is an
area of minimal flood hazard, and the applicant will be required to ensure that all
development-related runoff shall be disposed of on site and shall not be directed toward
any adjacent properties.
An air quality analysis was conducted by the applicant determined that no long-
term air quality impacts associated with the project area would not exceed state and
federal thresholds. Short-term air quality impacts are proposed to be mitigated by
adhering to propose erosion control measures, utilizing low emission mobile
construction equipment, maintaining construction equipment engines, and using low
sulfur fuel for construction equipment to the extent practicable.
For the purpose of promoting health, safety, and the general welfare of the
County, the Zoning Code regulated and restricts the height, size of buildings, and other
structures, the percentage of a building site that may be occupied, off-street marking,
setbacks, size of yards, courts, and other spaces, the density of population, and the
located and use of buildings, structures, and land for trade, industry, residence, or other
purposed.
Impacts associated with this project development such as historical, visual, traffic,
drainage and design concerns have been assessed and will be mitigated through
conditions of approval. Therefore, the request would not reasonably burden the public
agencies to provide roads and streets, sewers, water, drainage and school improvements,
and police and fire protection. The proposed change of zone would allow for uses which
complement the multiple family and single family residential uses established in the
Waikoloa Beach Resort area.
The request will not have a significant adverse impact to traditional and
customary Hawaiian Rights. In view of the Hawaii State Supreme Court's "PASH"
and"Ka Pa'akai O Ka'Aina"decisions, the issue relative to native Hawaiian rights, such
as gathering and fishing rights,must be addressed in terms of the cultural, historical, and
natural resources and the associated traditional and customary practices of the site.
Investigation of valued resources: A Draft Archaeological Inventory Survey of
the subject property was completed by Haun &Associates in May 2021 and amended in
-9-
August 2021 and again in October 2021. A Native Hawaiian Traditional and Customary
Practices Assessment was prepared by Christopher Monahan, Ph.D. in June 2021. In
addition, a Biological Survey was conducted by Ron Terry, Ph.D. in May 2021 for the
subject area. Finally, a Biological Survey report dated May 2021 by Geometrician
Associates, LLC that included results of field surveys conducted in May 2020 and
November 2020 for the entirety of the project area was submitted with the application.
The valuable cultural, historical, and natural resources found in the rezoning rea.
The most recent draft AIS identified a total of 14 sites with associated features, including
nine (9) sites previously identified and five (5)newly identified sites. While none of the
sites identified in the AIS were located within sub areas JI and J2 of"Area A", the
subject area does border the Ala Loa(Forerunner)trail and the Planning Department
received comments from the State Nd Ala Hele Trail & Access Program (Nd Ala Hele)
and Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail Program (Ala Kahakai) for preservation
measures for the portions of"Area A" of the Kumu Hou project that border the Ala Loa
(Forerunner) trail. Based on consultation with the State Nd Ala Hele Trail & Access
Program (Nd Ala Hele) and Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail Program (Ala Kahakai)
the applicant has agreed to uphold further preservation agreements for a segment of the
Ala Loa (Forerunner) trail, located outside of and adjacent to sub-area J2 of"Area A" of
the proposed Kumu Hou project area. These agreements include removal of ironwood
trees encroaching on the trail and within its existing 10-foot buffer,the removal of
ironwood duff that blows onto the trail/buffer area, and the establishment of an additional
30-foot buffer and"vegetative transition"between the trail and any buildings that are
proposed for sub-area J2 of"Area A."
The State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) reviewed the August 2021 draft
AIS and asked the applicant to incorporate the comments Nd Ala Hele and Ala Kahakai
provided in a revised draft of the AIS,which they did. However, at the date of this
writing SHPD has not responded to a request for comment on the October 2021 draft
AIS. Based on the preceding, a condition of this approval will require the applicant to
prepare and secure the Planning Director's and SHPD's approval of an archaeological
preservation plan prior to commencing any land alteration activities.
The Native Hawaiian Traditional and Customary Practices Assessment found that
given the distance from the shoreline, there would be no impacts to shoreline fishing and
-i0-
gathering. The assessment recommended the submission of an AIS to SHPD, further
consultation with agencies to agree on significance and mitigation, and an assessment of
the project by a hydrogeology expert to assess groundwater and aquifers in this region.
These recommendations were complied with during development of the subject
application.
The biological survey report found that there are no designated or proposed
critical habitats for endangered plant or animal species located within the project area.
Two (2) federally listed, threatened and endangered avian species (nene and ae`o)
and four(4) species of concern (auku`u, `akekeke, `ulili and kolea)were identified
within the project area and although not detected during the survey, it is possible that
small numbers of the endangered endemic Hawaiian Petrel,the endangered band rumped
storm petrel, and the threatened Newell's shearwater birds fly over the area between
summer and fall. Finally, Hawaiian hoary bats are assumed to be present and have been
detected in kiawe forests of West Hawaii as well as the endangered Blackburn sphinx
moth which has also been found at various locations throughout West Hawaii.
Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resources and feasible actions to
protect native Hawaiian rights: While the proposed project may have some effect on
valued resources in the area, the proposed conditions of approval of this permit should
minimize impacts and protect native Hawaiian rights.
Native vegetation may be destroyed by ground alteration and construction
activities, however,there is no evidence that the flora in the area is particularly desired or
used for cultural practices. There are no identified springs,pu`u, native forest groves,
gathering resources, or other natural features present on or near the permit area that
would support any traditional resource uses. Any project related impacts on endangered
or threatened fauna will be addressed by conditions of approval recommended by the US
Fish and Wildlife Service and Department of Land and Natural Resources-Division of
Forestry and Wildlife.
As mentioned above, impacts on identified archaeological resources will be
addressed through the approval of a draft AIS and Archaeological Preservation Plan for
sites identified for preservation. As archaeological remains could inadvertently be
-11-
uncovered during development activities, a condition of approval will be added to
address and mitigate any inadvertent finds.
With implementation of the mentioned conditions of approval the proposed action
will not affect traditional Hawaiian rights.
Lastly, this recommendation is made with the understanding that the applicant
remains responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements
in connection with the proposed use, prior to its commencement or establishment upon
the subject properties. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of
building permit, 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 findings,the request to rezone the property from an Open
and Multiple Family Residential 8,000 square feet (RM-8) to a Multiple Family Residential
6,000 square feet(RM-6) and Single Family Residential-10,000 square feet(RS-10)zoning
district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that would further benefit the
general public.
The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8-9 (Puak6-`Anaeho`omalu Zone
Map), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as
amended), is provided for your favorable consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of
approval attached to the draft bill.
