Traffic impacts (assessment of existing traffic conditions, anticipated increase in traffic and traffic impacts from proposed use). Please note, a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TZAR) may be required pursuant to HCC Chapter 25-2-46): AECOM prepared a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) for the proposed Waik6loa Light Industrial Center in August 2023. The TIAR: • Documents existing conditions; • Assesses future conditions with the proposed Waikoloa Light Industrial Center, including the access into the site; and • Summarizes transportation issues identified and proposes recommendations to address those issues. The TIAR was prepared in compliance with Hawaii County Code Section 25-2-46 which requires a TIAR: • Be prepared or updated within six months before the submission of a zoning amendment application that can generate 50 or more peak hour trips; and • Include: o Projections for future growth in traffic for a minimum of five, 10, and 20 years; and o Other approved or proposed development that is expected to impact the project area, with reasonable assumptions about the build -out of such development. Access to the Waikoloa Light Industrial Center will be from Waikoloa Road via a new private road (named Hale Hana Street) through TMK (3) 6-8-003: 0322. At the intersection with Waikoloa Road the new road will be designed to line up with Ehukai Loop to form a four-way intersection with Ehukai Loop and Waikoloa Road. The existing Quarry Road (a private road) will be accommodated by a connection with the new road and the current intersection of Quarry Road and Waikoloa Road will be closed. The TIAR notes Waikoloa Village and the surrounding area currently lack light industrial areas. Under the existing conditions, the nearest light industrial areas, Kaloko Light Industrial Park and the Honokohau Industrial Park in Kailua-Kona, are approximately 28 miles away from Waikoloa Village. The completion of the proposed Waikoloa Light Industrial Center is expected to reduce the need to travel outside the community to access a light industrial area and provide a space for the needed service. 2 Waikoloa Village Center LLC (Applicant) also owns TMK (3) 6-8-003: 032 (see Exhibit 5 for the deed). See Section 28, description of access, for more information about access and the new private road. 5
