Since the approval of the Change of Zone in 1998, the Kona Community <br /> Development Plan (CDP) was developed and adopted by the County Council on <br /> September 25, 2005 as Ordinance No. 08 131 and more recently amended by Ordinance <br /> No. 19 091, effective September 18, 2019. The Kona CDP has goals, objectives, and <br /> policies relevant to housing through its Land Use section that specifically includes similar <br /> goals as the General Plan regarding preservation of natural resources and native species, <br /> as well as watershed protection. <br /> The amended ordinance will retain condition requirements for perpetual <br /> easements, special setbacks, and forest coverage requirements for the purposes of <br /> protecting and maintaining naturally forested areas as well as the requirement to develop <br /> forest management plans as has been standard for change of zone requests in the Kaloko <br /> Mauka Subdivision. <br /> Finally, the A-5a zoning and proposed 4-lot subdivision is compatible with the <br /> rural character of lands located within the Kaloko Mauka Subdivision and will be <br /> developed in conformance with the Zoning and Subdivision Codes. Furthermore, <br /> Condition F will continue to require restrictive covenants prohibiting a second dwelling <br /> unit on each lot. The applicant is requesting the addition of the prohibition of <br /> Condominium Property Regimes (CPRs) on each lot to reflect more recent standard <br /> language for this type of condition. Based on the preceding, the Planning Director <br /> recommends approval of this request. <br /> Based on the preceding, the granting of the time extension and other proposed <br /> amendments would not be contrary to the General Plan, Kona Community Development <br /> Plan and the Zoning Code. <br /> Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the original reasons <br /> for the granting of the change of zone. The original reasons for granting the change of <br /> zone remain valid today. The proposed request will not unreasonably burden public <br /> agencies to provide infrastructure and utilities to the property. Neither the Department of <br /> Public Works, Engineering Division, the State Department of Transportation nor the <br /> State Department of Health had significant concerns regarding the request. The property <br /> has direct access to Kaloko Drive and any driveways thereto will need to meet with the <br /> requirements of the Department of Public Works.
