Zendo Kern,Director September 11,2023 4 Further, inasmuch as the improvements to Eho Street to its intersection with the Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway, as required by Conditions D and F, have already been completed, including its dedication to the County, LT requests deletion of these conditions as well. Finally, it should also be noted that Condition K allowing for an administrative extension is no longer an option. The Zoning Code was recently amended (Section 25-2-44(c))and now states"A condition granting an administrative time extension by the director shall not be included in any change of zone ordinance." Accordingly, LT is requesting that Condition K be deleted as well. III. LOCATION The subject area consists of a 0.874-acre(38,071 square feet) portion of Tax Map Key(3)7-4-015:015. It is located in the Keahuolu ahupua'a in North Kona. The property is rectangular shaped and is located adjacent to the Kona Coast Shopping Center. More specifically, it is situated on the south side of the Eho Street and Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway intersection. The property is vacant of any structures or uses. IV. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT LT has completed off-site infrastructure improvements to support the development of the subject parcel, essentially making that parcel "shovel-ready."As noted earlier, LT does not have the site leased to a developer at this time. However, it believes that it is only a matter of time, given the surrounding land uses and existing off-site infrastructure. When that occurs,the project would be subject to further review through the Plan Approval process to assure consistency with the remaining conditions of the rezoning ordinance as well as the Zoning Code. V. REZONING CONDITIONS As noted earlier,the subject area was initially rezoned into the CV-10 zoning district on August 21, 2000,via Ordinance No. 00-90 subject to a number of conditions.
