The project location is shown here on this USGS map in the area in that blue outline on the corner of Mmalahoa Highway and Konawaena School Road. This is the State Land Use Commission boundary map for the area, and the entire project site is within the Urban District, as indicated here. In the area above, as Staff had pointed out earlier, we have the Agricultural District, which runs right to here. So that property boundary defines the boundary between the Urban and the Ag District. This is the project site superimposed on the, both the existing Land Use Plan Allocation Guide map from the General Plan as well as the proposed LUPAG map. In both instances, the project site is located in an area designated for Medium Density development. The County zoning, of course, is Single Family Residential-15, as already indicated by Staff, with a very small portion of the property in the Agricultural-1 acre district. Surrounding uses consist of Kona Community Hospital and Kealakek which are approximately 3,000 feet away to the north, numerous retail businesses to the north, a few to the south, the Greenwell Farms complex, which includes the Kalukalu Meat building, the Kona Historical Society Museum, which is the old Greenwell Store, and then, of course, east of the project site Konawaena High and Middle Schools, and a few churches and cemeteries in the area and a few single family residences. These are some photos of the surrounding areas, to give you a general flavor of the uses. This is the commercial area to the north of the project site. This is a photo on the left of the Kona Historical Society Museum, and on the right the Greenwell Farms complex. Across from the project site, there's a single family residence. This is part of the J. B. Greenwell Trust; and you have a letter from us responding to Mr. Greenwell's concerns in your information. On the east side, the mauka side of Mmalahoa and immediately north of the property site, or the project site, is the University of the Nations Peace Church. On the west side of Mmalahoa, across from the project site, is the Central Kona Union Church cemetery. And this is a shot of a retail establishment on the southwest side of the project area. What we're looking at here is the intersection of Mmalahoa Highway and Konawaena School Road. This is the Christ Church Episcopal and cemetery located south of the project site along Konawaena School Road. And this is the single family dwelling which belongs to the Hayashi family, located immediately east of the project site along Konawaena School Road. 7
