<br />applicant is requesting a Change of Zone. The location of our application is located in the right
<br />on the boundary of the South Kona and North Kona District boundary line, and it is located in
<br />the South Kona District. The actual boundary line is right here, so it’s right on the border. This
<br />is in Kealakekua. Looking at the middle of the map, we have Mmalahoa Highway. Looking on
<br />the left side of the map, moving in a mauka, or east-west direction, mauka-makai, we have
<br />Haleki‘i Street. And the property is identified in a black outline. The different colors on the map
<br />represent the different zonings in the area. The actual zoning for the property is identified with a
<br />darker yellow color, which is representing Single-Family Residential 15,000 square feet zoning.
<br />The light green zoning is representing Agricultural 5 Acres. And we have some different shades
<br />of pink, which represent Commercial zoning – CV representing Village Commercial. This is a
<br />little closer view. Again, we have Haleki‘i Street moving in an east-west direction, and we have
<br />the Hawai‘i Belt Road moving in a north-south direction, with the subject property identified
