COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
HAWAII ONE1 INVESTORS,LLC (FORMERLY KONA HEIGHTS,LLC)
AMENDMENT TO CHANGE OF ZONE ORDINANCE NO. 09 8
(AMEND REZ 07-075) (PL-REZ-2022-000014)
Upon careful review of the request, the Planning Director recommends that a
favorable recommendation of the request to amend conditions of Change of Zone
Ordinance No. 09 8 be forwarded to the County Council. Since this recommendation is made
without the benefit of public testimony,the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this
position. This favorable recommendation is based on the following findings:
The applicant is requesting the following amendments to Change of Zone
Ordinance No. 09 8:
■ A five (5)-year time extension to Condition E(Time to Secure Final Subdivision
Approval); and
■ An amendment of Condition K (Drainage Improvements)to allow for the option
of bonding the drainage improvements or the use of other acceptable forms of
surety in lieu of the construction of drainage improvements, prior to the issuance
of Final Subdivision Approval. The requested amendment language is as follows
(new material is underlined):
K. A drainage study shall be prepared by a licensed civil engineer and
submitted to the Department of Public Works. The recommended drainage
improvements shall be constructed, or secured by a bond or other
acceptableforms o surety,meeting with the approval of the Department
of Public Works prior to receipt of Final Subdivision Approval. The
drainage study shall include potential impacts from the Kahului-Keauhou
Parkway culverts.
Since the applicant acquired the property in 2013,they have worked diligently to
comply with conditions of approval of both the change of zone ordinance and SMA Use
Permit, including securing a Planned Unit Development (PUD)permit in 2016, finalizing and
-1-
securing approval from the State Historic Preservation Division for an Archaeological Data
Recovery Plan in 2010 and Burial Treatment Plan in 2017, securing Tentative Subdivision
Approval for phase one of the subdivision in 2017,working with the Department of Parks
and Recreation to locate a suitable site for a three (3)acre neighborhood park and completing
an Environmental Assessment (EA)and receiving a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) for the park's development and securing approval for subdivision infrastructure
construction plans in 2019. Despite this work,the applicant lost its funding to complete the
required infrastructure improvements for the project and could not find an alternative source
within a timely manner. Thus,the applicant could not meet the February 9, 2019, deadline to
secure Final Subdivision Approval,which necessitates the time extension requests.
Finally,with approval of the requested amendment to Condition K of Ordinance 09 8,
the applicant will have the opportunity to provide an acceptable form of surety to ensure the
construction of the subdivision drainage system along with the subdivision's roadway and
water systems as a means to secure Final Subdivision Approval,which then affords the
applicant additional opportunities to secure the necessary funding to complete the project.
The original application was reviewed against the guidelines for granting a
change of zone and approved,with conditions,by the County Council. The requested
amendment requests were reviewed using the following criteria:
A. The non-performance is the result of conditions that could not have been
foreseen or are beyond the control of the applicants, successors or assigns,
and that are not the result of their fault or negligence.
B. Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the General Plan,
Kona Community Development Plan, and Zoning Code.
C. Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the original
reasons for the granting of the permit.
The non-performance is the result of conditions that could not have been
foreseen or are beyond the control of the applicant, successors or assigns, and that
are not the result of their fault or negligence. Ordinance No. 09 8 was approved by the
County Council in 2009 to reclassify 11.054 acres of land from an Agricultural 5-acres
(A-5a)to a Single-Family Residential-7,500 square feet(RS-7.5) zoned district. In
conjunction with this ordinance, the Planning Commission also approved SMA Use
-2-
Permit No. 07-024 to allow the development of a 65-lot, single family residential
subdivision and related improvements.
As stated previously, since acquiring the property in 2013,the applicant has
worked diligently to comply with conditions of approval including securing Tentative
Subdivision Approval for phase one of the subdivision in 2017. While attempting to
finalize requirements for Final Subdivision Approval in 2019, the applicant lost the
funding necessary to complete the required infrastructure improvements for the project
and could not find an alternative funding source within a timely manner.
The applicant is committed to finalizing the project and is requesting an additional
five (5)years to secure the necessary funding and bonding the required infrastructure to
secure Final Subdivision Approval as required by Condition E.
Based on the preceding, the non-performance is the result of conditions that could
not have been foreseen or are beyond the control of the applicant and that are not the
result of their fault or negligence.
Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the General Plan,
Kona Community Development Plan or Zoning Code.
The applicant is proposing to develop a 62-lot residential subdivision with lots
ranging in size from 3,082 square feet and 6,501 square feet and related improvements
consistent with an approved PUD master plan. According to the PUD permit, the PUD is
designed to address the needs and lifestyle of residents who want to live in a planned
residential community that is a more compact community with alternate standards versus
the current, standard subdivision layout,which in many cases lacks a human scale and
walkability.
Since the ordinance was approved in 2009, there has been no significant changes
in the General Plan or Zoning Code relative to the project area.
The General Plan (GP) designation for this area is Low Density Urban, which
allows residential, with ancillary community and public uses, and neighborhood and
convenience-type commercial uses; overall residential density may be up to six units per
acre. This property's RS-7.5 zoning and approved PUD to allow the development of a 62-
lot subdivision on the property is consistent with this LUPAG designation. Furthermore,
-3-
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-
The 62-lot, single-family residential project has been designed and will be built
meeting with the requirements of the Zoning Code and approved PUD,which allowed a
series of exceptions from the Zoning and Subdivision Codes to, "... improve the overall
quality, aesthetics, and to create a more pedestrian-oriented community that would not
otherwise be possible with the current County of Hawai`i Codes and Standard Details for
roadway construction."
The project has met the Zoning Code's concurrency requirements by having
secured sufficient potable water(50 units)to satisfy the needs of the project that has
registered with the U.S. Green Building Council as a LEED project,whose design criteria
will be applied to the project to reduce water demands lower than County requirements
(as required by Condition D of the subject ordinance). The Planning Director
recommends modifying Condition B (Water Commitments)to require the applicant to
maintain those water commitments until the water facilities charge has been paid in full.
As the proposed project is anticipated to generate more than fifty (50)peak hour
vehicle trips,the applicant commissioned an updated Traffic Impact Analysis Report
(TIAR), dated October 2021, as required by the Concurrency section of the Zoning Code.
The TIAR summarized the traffic impact of the project as follows, the Laipala Makai
project will have little impact to traffic delay at the Ali`i Drive at Queen Kalama Avenue
and the Queen Kalama at Naniloa Drive intersections. At the proposed intersection of the
project driveway and Ali`i Drive, a single-lane entrance and a single-lane exit will work
acceptably. Traffic operations show that the all-way stop-control at Ali`i Drive, and
La`aloa Avenue will result in movements that operate at LOS E in Future (2041) Without
Project and Future (2 041) With Project conditions. The 8-Hour (Warrant I Condition B)
and 4-Hour (Warrant 2) traffic signal warrants were satisfied and the resulting
intersection analysis with a traffic signal with permitted phasing resulted in acceptable
LOS for the intersection and movements. The future widening of Route 11 and/or the
completion of the Ali`i Highway extension will likely lower the traffic volume at this
intersection, resulting in better traffic operation at this intersection. It is recommended
that this intersection be monitored, and the installation of a traffic signal be considered if
needed. The v/c ratio for the northbound and southbound approaches at Route 11 and
-5-
La`aloa Avenue will also be approaching LOS F in Future (2041). The north-south
capacity will need to be increased through the widening of Route 11 from Henry Street to
Kamehameha III Road or the construction of the Ali`i Highway extension, both of which
have been planned for many years. "As all studied intesections will remain at an
acceptable level of service until 2041,there are no recommended mitigation actions
required.
Finally,there are two (2) defense sirens in the immediate area, one located in the
White Sands Beach Estates subdivision approximately 1,450 feet to the north from the
subject property, and a second siren located approximately 3,100 feet to the south near
Kahalu`u Beach Park.
Based on the preceding,the granting of the requested time extension would not be
contrary to the General Plan, Kona CDP, or the Zoning Code.
The granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the original
reasons for the granting of the permit. When the property was originally rezoned in
2009,the Planning Commission forwarded a favorable recommendation for the subject
change of zone to the County Council with conditions based on the criteria for approving
a change of zone. The reasons for the favorable recommendation were as follows: 1) The
proposed zoning was consistent with the GP Low Density Urban LUPAG designation
and several goals,policies and actions of the GP's economic and land use elements; 2)
necessary infrastructure such as water,wastewater, and roadway access are or can be
made available to the project; 3)there are no irresolvable issues related to developing the
property (drainage, avifaunal, or botanical), and 4)with appropriate mitigation, the
proposed project would not have any negative impact on archaeological, historical, or
cultural resources on the subject parcel (further discussed below). Since the change of
zone was approved, the Zoning Code was amended to include Concurrency requirements
that were discussed above.
The scope, design, layout, and phasing of the project proposed by the applicant
has not significantly changed since the change of zone was approved. In fact, the project
has been further clarified with the approval of the PUD in 2016 and approval of
infrastructure construction plans for the"La`ipala Makai PUD, Phase F in 2019. Granting
-6-
the time extension would simply provide the applicant additional time to secure an
alternative funding source and develop the project. Thus,the time extension request is not
contrary to the original reasons.
The Planning Director believes that the applicant's request to amend Condition K
to allow the required drainage improvements to be secured by a bond or other acceptable
form of surety instead of being constructed prior to Final Subdivision Approval (FSA) is
reasonable for the following reasons: 1)This is the only infrastructure improvement
required to be constructed prior to FSA. For example, Condition H expressly permits
roadway improvements to be bonded before FSA; 2)the Subdivision Code explicitly
provides for a process by which a landowner can enter into agreement with the County
for the construction of required subdivision improvements and utilities in lieu of the
completion of its construction prior to FSA (Section 23-82. Agreement to provide
improvements and utilities. and Section 23-83. Bond.). The applicant plans to use this
process to bond other roadway and water infrastructure for the project pursuant to
approved infrastructure construction plans and feels that drainage improvements are an
integral part of the required roadway infrastructure; 3)based on a review of the record,
staff was unable to determine a reason that the drainage improvements specifically
needed to be completed prior to FSA. While the comment memo from the Department of
Public Works-Engineering Division (DPW)requested a drainage study be prepared and
submitted to DPW for approval and that recommended drainage improvements need to be
constructed,the memo did not specifically require a timing trigger(e.g.,prior to FSA),
however,the proposed conditions of approval from the Planning Director at the time did
include that timing trigger; and 4) according to the applicant, the ability to bond all of the
infrastructure improvements will assist with securing the needed funding to complete the
infrastructure improvements for the project. For the preceding reasons, the Planning
Director supports the requested amendment to Condition K.
In view of the Hawaii State Supreme Court's "PASH" and"Ka Pa`akai O
Ka`Aina" decisions,the issue relative to native Hawaiian gathering and fishing rights
must be addressed. These rights must be addressed in terms of the cultural, historical, and
natural resources and the associated traditional and customary practices of the site.
-7-
Investigation of valued resources: The applicant has submitted the following
studies from which the Planning Commission can determine the valued natural, cultural,
and historical resources in the project area.
■ A Survey of Botanical, Avian and Terrestrial mammalian Species for the proposed
Laipala Heights Subdivision, North Kona District, Island of Hawaii prepared by Rana
Productions in 2006
■ Archaeological Inventory Survey, TMK: 7-7-08: 121, Land of Kapalaalaea 2, North
Kona District, Island of Hawaii prepared by Haun and Associates in January 2006
■ Cultural Impact Study/Assessment, Laipala Heights, Kapalaalaea Ahupuaa, District
of North Kona, Hawaii Island prepared by Kaimipono Consulting Services LLC in
December 2006
■ Final Archaeological Data Recovery Plan, Land ofKapala`alaea 2 Ahupua`a, North
Kona District, Island ofHawai`i, (TMK 3-7-7-08:105, 113, 119, 121) prepared by
Haun and Associates in January 2010
■ Final Burial Site Component of an Archaeological Preservation Plan for Site 50-10-
37-24842 and Portions of Site 24534, TVIK(3) 7-7-008:121, Kapala`alaea 2
Ahupua`a, North Kona District, Island of Hawai`i prepared by Haun and Associates
in April 2017
The valuable cultural, historical, and natural resources found in the area: The
floral/fauna report revealed that no endangered species are likely to be found on the
project site. The archaeological inventory survey identified 14 sites assessed as significant
for their information content. Three (3)of the historic properties that recommended for no
further work,nine (9) sites were recommended for mitigation through data recovery,and two
(2) sites(one ceremonial/habitation site complex(SIHP 24534)was recommended for
preservation and one burial site (SIHP 24842)was recommended for preservation in the form
of a Burial Treatment Plan). Finally,the Cultural Impact Assessment concluded that, "while
evidence of ancient or traditional cultural practices still exists on the project lands, there
does not appear to be any evidence of any ongoing traditional cultural practices, except
perhaps fishing, which, while not directly impacted by the project, may indirectly impact this
resource.
-8-
Possible adverse effects or impairment of valued resources: Native vegetation
may be destroyed by ground alteration. There is no evidence that the flora in the area are
particularly desired or used for cultural practices. According to the botanical and
archaeological studies submitted by the applicant, the project will not adversely impact
resources in the area with appropriate mitigation.
Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: The applicant has stated that
there is no evidence of any traditional or customary Native Hawaiian rights being
practiced on the project site. There is no record of public access to the mountains or the
ocean, and as the subject property is located approximately 800 feet mauka of the nearest
shoreline, there should not be any impact on fishing or shoreline public access.
An Archaeological Data Recovery Plan and Burial Treatment Plan were developed
and accepted by SHPD in 2010 and 2017 respectively and conditions of approval of this
permit and the associated change of zone ordinance have been modified to ensure that the
requirements of each of these respective plans(including short and long-term conservation
measures for the sites to be preserved and archeological monitoring during land alteration
activities)are followed throughout the development of the project to ensure protection of
these preserved archaeological resources. Thus, it is believed that the project would have
no adverse impact relative to the cultural and historical resources of the area. To the
extent to which traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights are exercised, the
proposed action will not affect traditional Hawaiian rights.
Lastly, this recommendation is made with the understanding that the applicant
remains responsible for complying with all other applicable County, State and Federal
governmental requirements in connection with the approved use,prior to and during its
commencement or establishment upon the subject properties. Compliance with all
applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this approval, and 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, the Planning Director recommends that a favorable
recommendation be forwarded to the County Council to amend Ordinance No. 09 8.
Please note, in addition to the applicant's proposed amendment, the Planning Director is
-9-
recommending modification of other conditions to current standard condition language
and to ensure compliance with the implementation of certain conditions.
The accompanying draft bill reflects these recommendations and changes. Material to be

deeds to subject property, including deeds to individual units and to any lots
subdivided from the subject property, and promotional and sales materials given
to prospective purchasers, shall inform prospective owners of the following:
"Plans for the area involve the construction of the Kahului-Keauhou Parkway
within a right-of-way shown on the attached map. The Kahului-Keauhou
Parkway will be a major highway that is expected to carry a high volume of
traffic. The County of Hawai`i has determined that the construction of this
highway is important to the proper development of Kona as a whole. The
construction of the Kahului-Keauhou Parkway will create noise, dust, and other
impacts. The contractor building the Parkway will be required to follow some
regulations to reduce noise and dust, but some impacts will occur. After
completion, traffic on the Kahului- Keauhou Parkway will cause noise and other
4
effects that must be expected from a busy roadway. A prospective purchaser who
cannot accept the future construction of the Kahului-Keauhou Parkway in this
area is advised to seek another area to reside. This property was rezoned on
condition that if noise abatement measures between the Parkway and adjacent
residences in this project must be taken to qualify the Kahului-Keauhou Parkway
project for Federal funding, the residential owners would be required to pay for
the noise abatement." The sales materials and covenants do not have to follow
the exact wording of this condition but shall inform the prospective purchasers of
the substance of this condition.
N. Comply with Chapter 11-55, Water Pollution Control, Hawaii Administrative
Rules, Department of Health, which requires an NPDES permit for certain
construction activity.
