PD RECOMMENDATION REPORT (PL-SMA-2024-000052)

Home

endangered species statutes are anticipated to be on the site. Additionally, no species used for cultural gathering purposes were identified within the project area. The residential nature of the surrounding areas would make it less likely to find other protected or endangered animal life in this area other than what is found along the shoreline and ocean which is outside the project area. All construction activities will follow Best Management Practices to minimize adverse point and non-point pollution to coastal resources and surrounding areas. Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: All proposed improvements will be located a considerable distance from the shoreline, which is bounded by a 180- foot-high cliff and rocky shoreline. South of the project site there is an existing shoreline park (Hakalau Bay) which provides shoreline and ocean access for the public; the project will not impact that park or access. Lastly, this recommendation for approval is made with the understanding that the applicants remain responsible for complying with all other applicable government requirements in connection with the approved use, prior to its commencement or establishment upon the subject property. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of building permits, the installation of approved wastewater disposal systems, compliance with Fire Code, installation of improvements required by the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), among many others. Compliance with all applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this approval; failure to comply with such requirements will be considered a violation that may result in enforcement action by the Planning Department and/or the affected agencies. Based on the above findings, the proposed development will not have substantial adverse impacts on the environment, nor will its approval be contrary to the objectives and policies of Chapter 205A, HRS, relating to Coastal Zone Management and Rule No. 9 of the Planning Commission relating to the Special Management Area. Approval of this request is subject to the following conditions: 1) The applicants, its successor(s), or assign(s) shall be responsible for complying with all stated conditions of approval. 8
