condition of approval will require construction plans to be submitted to the Fire <br /> Department for review prior to issuance of Final Subdivision Approval. <br /> Finally,the current RS-10 zoning would allow a mathematical density of 60 lots <br /> over the two subject parcels,however, if the concurrent downzone request to RS-15 is <br /> successful,this would reduce the allowable density to 40 lots,which is consistent with <br /> the proposed 40-lot PUD. <br /> The development of a harmonious, integrated whole justifies exceptions,if <br /> required, to the normal requirements of Chapter 23 and Chapter 25, Hawaii <br /> County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as amended), and the contemplated arrangements <br /> or use make it desirable to apply regulations and requirements differing from those <br /> ordinarily applicable under the district regulations. <br /> If applied as written, standards included in the Zoning and Subdivision Codes <br /> would limit the number of lots and their usability in an area where both the General Plan <br /> and HCDP call for focusing residential development and growth in Honoka`a, close to <br /> existing public facilities and places of employment. <br /> Additionally, given the topographical and physical constraints of the subject <br /> properties, all of the requested exceptions were carefully considered to enhance lot design <br /> and maximize the property's features to be complementary to existing surrounding land <br /> uses, including similarly designed,residential subdivisions in the immediate vicinity. <br /> Finally, based on consultation with the Planning Department's Administrative <br /> Permits Division (the division that previously processed PUD applications), the Director <br /> is comfortable recommending approval of the entire slate of exceptions, as there were no <br /> significant concerns with what was proposed. It should be noted that the 40-lot <br /> subdivision will still be required to go through a formal subdivision process and will be <br /> subject to all other requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision codes, less the exceptions <br /> requested here. <br /> The request will not have a signnificant adverse impact to traditional and <br /> customary Hawaiian Rights. In view of the Hawai`i State Supreme Court's "PASH" <br /> and"Ka Pa`akai O Ka Aina"decisions,the issue relative to native Hawaiian gathering <br /> -10- <br />
