AMENDMENT TO CHANGE OF ZONE ORDINANCE NO. 06 82 (PL-REZ-2022-000015/REZ 05-27) AMENDED BACKGROUND REPORT At the request of Chair Vitousek, the Planning Department is providing the Leeward Commission with additional information on the status of Kaloko Drive-Mamalahoa Highway intersection improvements. Attached for your information are comment letters from the State Department of Transportation (DOT) for previous Change of Zone applications within the Kaloko Mauka subdivision (Planning Department Exhibit 2a). As of this date,the DOT has not submitted comments for the applicant's current request before the Commission to amend Change of Zone Ordinance No 06 82. In past comments however,the DOT, Department of Public Works (DPW), and the applicant have all acknowledged the need for improvements to the Kaloko Drive-Mamalahoa Highway intersection. Previous rezones in the Kaloko Mauka subdivision have typically included a condition of approval requiring that the fair share fee to mitigate regional impacts to transportation,park,police,fire, and solid waste facilities be allocated solely for the County and/or State to improve the Kaloko Drive-Mamalahoa Highway intersection. A previous rezone in the Kaloko Mauka subdivision (Change of Zone No 02 45)required a conceptual design analysis of the Mamalahoa Highway-Kaloko Drive intersection be performed by the applicant in lieu of their fair share payment. On December 15, 2005 a "Conceptual Design Analysis and Cost Estimates for Kaloko Drive and Mamalahoa Highway Intersection Improvements"was completed and submitted to the DPW and the DOT. On July 14, 2006, the conceptual plans were approved by the DOT with the requirement of a Traffic Impact Analysis Report and on July 31, 2006 the DPW stated that they were deferring all comments and recommendations to the DOT since Highway 19 was a State road. By letter dated, August 11, 2006, the Planning Department determined that Condition P of Ordinance No 02 45 was completed and satisfied(Planning Department Exhibit 3a). Furthermore, on May 17, 2012 the Planning Department requested that the DOT accept the existing and future funds for the Mamalahoa Highway-Kaloko Drive intersection improvements that had been collected and was expected to be collected for the various Change of Zones in the Kaloko Mauka subdivision (Planning Department Exhibit 4a).
