the project remains consistent with several goals, policies, and standards relative to the GP's economic and land use elements. The Kona Community Development Plan (KCDP)was adopted in 2008, and thus was not considered during the original change of zone analysis as the adoption of the two ordinances overlapped. However, the proposed project is consistent with the requirements of the KCDP as amended in 2019, which designates the property within the Kona Urban Area (KUA), and within the outer fringes of the Kahalu`u Neighborhood Transit Oriented Development(TOD) area on the Official Concurrency Map. Furthermore, the subject property falls within Concurrency Zones M and the Kahalu`u Makai Village, with two specific concurrency roadway segments situated adjacent to, but not within,the subject property. These two adjoining concurrency roadway segments include the proposed Kahului-Keauhou Parkway, classified as a secondary arterial, and Connector 9, a proposed minor collector roadway. It should be noted that the KCDP was amended in 2019 to remove the requirement that these roadway segments be constructed concurrent with occupancy of units on the subject property. Now,roadway concurrency requirements are to be determined by concurrency section of the Zoning Code and any applicable Traffic Impact Analysis Report(discussed further below). The proposed development can be considered"Infill" development as defined in the KCDP as it is situated directly to the south of established residential subdivisions of White Sands Beach Estates and Keauhou View Estates subdivisions to the north, and existing single and multiple family residential zoning to the south as part of the resort community of Keauhou. Furthermore, the applicant proposes to construct and dedicate to the County a new subdivision access road(Pi`ilani Street) from Ali`i Drive through the adjacent property to the west(makai) of the subject property,which will connect to Naniloa Street stub out at Queen Kalama Avenue,which is an existing, County owned and maintained road. Furthermore, conditions of the associated change of zone ordinance require stub outs to the property to the south to provide connectivity should that parcel ever be developed. This will satisfy the street network connectivity objective of the Kona CDP. -4-
