these two (2)properties, the requested amendments to Ordinance No. 18 115 are necessary. Finally, the applicant is also requesting deletion of a section of Condition J that provides the ability to develop the Kamanu Street Extension in phases as well as providing for alternative funding options (e.g., Improvement Districts or Community Facilities Districts) for its construction. The applicant has determined that these options are not viable for the development of Kamanu Street and will instead utilize proceeds from the sale of properties within the WHBP to privately finance Kamanu Steet extension construction.

The proposed amendments facilitate compliance with these policies. The Kona Community Development Plan (CDP)was adopted by Ordinance No. 08-131 on September 25, 2008, by the Hawaii County Council. The project site is situated within the Kona Urban Area(KUA) and a portion of the project area is situated within the Honokohau Village Regional Center TOD. The Kona CDP Transportation Network map identifies Kamanu Street Extension through the project site as a Major Collector Road and identifies Kanalani Street Extension through the project site as a Minor Collector Road. Construction and dedication of the proposed roadway alignments and the proposed internal driveway through Parcel 77 will support and implement the -5-
