YUEN: It’s Low Density Urban. BOWMAN: And Low Density Urban is -? YUEN: Low Density Urban is primarily a single-family residential in character, although it doesn’t eliminate -, you can do multi-family. But the General Plan talks about an overall density of not more than 6 units per acre – so this conforms to that – and other kinds of neighborhood type uses that may be consistent with a residential area, but primarily residential with maximum of 6 units per acre. So this does conform to the General Plan for the area. BOWMAN: Okay, thank you. DOMINGO: Mr. Chairman. RHO: Commissioner Domingo. DOMINGO: I understand the developer will be establishing the development based on the PUD concept. So what we actually saw on the drawing is -, is that the exact configuration of their buildings and everything? YUEN: No, that’s not required by the zoning; the zoning is much more open. They can change the concept of how the buildings would be laid out at the time when they come in for a Planned Unit Development or for an ordinary subdivision.

But what I gather is that they want to develop, or the Plan calls for, these villages, and along that area between the airport or the planned university to, I would say, Keauhou Shopping Village – but I could be wrong – there are these what they’re called transportation pods or transportation – I’m not sure of the terminology. So in reference to your project, where do you think that pod would be, if there was a pod that’s supposed be in that area? ATTA: Well, the CDP draft is somewhat general; so the exact location of the pod is not clear. But if I look at it, it seems to be right around where that makai parcel, the parcel just makai of our site that is owned by the Metzlers, that seems to be the EXHIBIT A 7
