This <br />morning our first applicant is the County of Hawai‘i Department of Research and Development. <br />They are requesting a Special Management Area Use Permit for their Hilo Bayfront Trails <br />project. <br />The location of this project will be basically along the Bayfront area from, all the way from the <br />Hilo Harbor to Wailuku River. It will include a majority of the Bayfront area, including Banyan <br />Drive as well as areas where it will come inland and associated loops. <br />This is a zoning map. This shows the different zones for the area. The gray areas are identified <br />Industrial zoning. The purple and pink areas identify Resort zoning. The darker green areas <br />identify Open zoning. And your crosshatched red and white area represents Commercial <br />Downtown Hilo. <br />This is an aerial photo. It’s not the best, but it kind of gives you an identification of the different <br />structures that are located in this area. <br />The applicant is requesting a Special Management Area Use Permit to allow the Hilo Bayfront <br />Trails project. This project will include a variety of multimodal paths spanning approximately <br />2 miles between Hilo Harbor and the Wailuku River and Downtown Hilo, and loops into several <br />associated areas.
