and the surrounding properties of the subdivision are developed with single family residences and related development, with the Onekahakaha Beach Park (within the open zoning district) bordering the subdivision to the north. The park is fully developed and heavily utilized by the public. Similarly resort zoned parcels to the east are undeveloped and overgrown. 27. Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM): The subject property is within Flood Zone AE which is defined as the area that will be inundated by a flood event having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. Based on a review of the SLR-Xa sea level rise viewer, the proposed project will not be within the 3.2-foot sea level rise exposure area, nor the 3.2-foot passive flooding zone. 28. Flora/Fauna Resources: No biotic surveys were conducted for the subject parcel; however, the applicant informed the Department that they do not believe that the site contains any rare or endangered floral and faunal resources. The parcel has been undeveloped and no rare or threatened species have been noted. Site vegetation consists of common, non-native plants, shrubs, and grasses. The site is not known to be a habitat for any rare or endangered wildlife other than could be found near the shoreline. The residential/developed nature of the surrounding area would make it less likely to find other protected and endangered species within the project area, however, the nearby park may provide more sustainable habitats for shoreline flora and fauna. 29. Archaeological Resources: The applicant did not conduct any archaeological survey of the parcel and submitted in their application that, due to SMA Minor Permit No. PL- SMM-2021-000011 issued on December 13, 2021 which allowed clearing of underbrush and other vegetation on each of the three parcels, the existence of any surface or subsurface archaeological remains is extremely unlikely.
