Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: As there is no evidence of any valued cultural,historical, and/or natural resources found on the site,there is no action to be taken. A condition of approval will be added for the protection of inadvertent finds should any remains of historic sites, such as rock walls,terraces, platforms,marine shell concentrations or human burials be encountered. The applicants shall be required to cease work in the immediate area and contact the Department of Land and Natural Resources—State Historic Preservation Division (DLNR-SHPD). Subsequent work shall proceed upon an archaeological clearance from DLNR-SHPD when it finds that sufficient mitigation measures have been taken. Lastly,this recommendation is made with the understanding that the applicants remain 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, among many others. Compliance with all applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this approval recommendaiton; 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, approval of the Change of Zone request from an Agricultural 20-acre (A-20a) to Family Agricultural 2-acre (FA-2a)zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare.
