In the slides coming up, Christian and myself will break down more of these areas. This is just to orient the commissioners on the conceptual Kumu Hou project as a whole. In addition, the applicant has proposed to construct a 142-unit affordable workforce rental housing development. Adjacent to the south of the Queen Shop and is designated by the purple shading at the bottom of your screen, which I'm circling for you right now. However, despite a newspaper article and significant public testimony that appeared to include the affordable housing development as part of the Kumu Hou project, we wanted to clarify that the applicant considers its development as complementary to, but not directly part of the Kumu Hou master plan. KAY: If I could unmute myself—this next slide is the County zoning map which shows, again, the mauka area of the Waikoloa Beach Resort including all three areas outlined in black. For reference, again, you've got Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway running generally diagonally through the slide, with"Area A" currently zoned both Open as indicated in green, and Multiple-Family Residential-8,000 square feet as indicated in the darker brown. "Area B" includes a multitude of zoning designations including Open, which is consistent with the existing King's Golf Course and some other Multiple-Family Residential zoning, again, 4,000, 6,000, and 8,000 square feet, as well as some Village Commercial designations as indicated by the pink color. And "Area C" is currently situated here in the Open zoning district, as indicated by green. The State Land Use designates the subject's project area as Urban, as indicated by the pink color, and lands across Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway are indicated as Agricultural in green. The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates the entire Waikoloa Beach Resort including the entirety of the project area as Resort Node as indicated by the pink color. Other designations in the area are Open as, as is consistent with the highway and Waikoloa Roadway, and the areas mauka of the highway are designated by the black thatching as Urban Expansion. The Resort Node, it should be noted, continues--pardon me, includes a mix of visitor and related-uses such as hotels, condominium hotels, single-family and multiple-family residential units, golf courses, and other typical resort recreational facilities, resort commercial complexes, and other support services. According to the General Plan, only a major resort area is identified as a resort node on the LUPAG Map, that's the Waikoloa Beach Resort, is designated as such a major resort area. And, additionally, the South Kohala Community Development Plan includes several references and policies related to resort areas within the district. These include a policy directing the development of timeshares to the district's three major resort destination areas with Waikoloa Beach Resort being one of these three. Okay. The entirety of the project area is situated within the County Special Management Area, which within this area is designated from the ocean all the way up to the highway. It should be noted that while the project area is what's in the SMA it's a significant districtdistance from the nearest shoreline with it's most makai point being approximately 5,400 feet from the ocean. So, now that you're somewhat familiar with the lay of the land and the proposed Kumu Hou project, we'll get into the land use entitlement request that were made to facilitate its development. And the first step we want to go is the proposed amendments to SMA 25. As the 7 EXHIBIT D
