And on the left of the slide at the northernmost peninsula there, thatÓs the Pepeekeo Point area weÓre talking about for the rezoning. The project runs on the north from the, just south of Waimaauou Stream up there and runs all the way across to the, just to the north of Kapehu Stream at the bottom of the picture. ThatÓs the entire 1300-acre project area. The application before you today, of course, centers around the northern peninsula that weÓve shown you the part of. The existing zone map essentially reflects the past use of the area. And as many of you probably know, this was the Hilo Coast Processing Company operat residences, they had commercial, industrial.
