would be expected to result from the proposed development or any activities associated <br /> with the use. <br /> Coastal Hazards: <br /> The property is located within Flood Zone X, outside of the 500-year flood area, <br /> and is not located within the tsunami inundation zone. The parcel is also outside of the <br /> 3.2-foot sea level rise exposure area, and all development will be sited at least 200-feet <br /> from the shoreline. Additionally, there is an existing drainage easement that encompasses <br /> the Kihialani Gulch which is located on the subject property along the northern property <br /> boundary. The proposed development will be sited over 200-feet from the gulch and <br /> shoreline (top of pali). <br /> Based on the above information, the proposed development is consistent with the <br /> objectives and policies of Chapter 205A, HRS. <br /> The proposed development is consistent with the County General Plan, <br /> Hamakua Community Development Plan (HCDP), Zoning Code and other <br /> applicable ordinances. The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) <br /> for the County of Hawai`i is a policy document expressing the broad goals and policies <br /> for the long-range development of the Island of Hawai'i. The plan was adopted by <br /> ordinance in 1989 and revised in 2005; the map designations for the subject property are <br /> low density urban (ldu), medium density urban (mdu) and Open (ope); all of which <br /> allows for this type of development. The Hamakua Community Development Plan <br /> (HCDP) was developed under the framework of the February 2005 County of Hawaii <br /> General Plan and was adopted in 2018 via Ordinance 2018-78 by the Hawaii County <br /> Planning Commission. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan <br /> LUPAG Map designation as it will complement the goals, policies, and standards of the <br /> Land Use Elements of the General Plan. The proposed action is in balance with the <br /> natural, cultural, and social environment of the County, and it will create temporary <br /> construction jobs for residents and indirectly affect the economy through construction <br /> industry purchases from local suppliers. <br /> The proposed project would be compatible with the surrounding area, and is <br /> consistent with the LUPAG designation, the zoning, and State Land Use District.
