Amira Soliman c/o Bumper Productions, LLC March 25, 2026 Page 2 Proposed Project: The applicant is proposing to conduct the following uses: • Conducting a one-day video shoot featuring two cast members speaking on the beach and brief filmed interactions at the top of the Papa`ikou Camp property. No structures will be built and no permanent lighting or installations will be used. • Designate parking for production vehicles including movie trailers, cube trucks, cargo vans, and sprinter vans within approved areas on private property. Parking will be organized to avoid roadway obstruction, maintain emergency access, and minimize impact to the surrounding neighborhood. • Establishing logistical support areas such as mobile basecamps and catering tents for cast and crew. • Utilizing portable video cameras, audio equipment, and lighting only as needed for filming. No fixed equipment or ground disturbance will occur. Special Management Area Determination: According to Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) Chapter 205A-44 and Planning Commission (PC) Rule No. 94(i)(1)(A), "development" includes "Placement or erection of any solid material or any gaseous, liquid, solid, or thermal waste". Therefore, the proposed construction of filming support tents, etc. are considered to be development and will require a review of the Special Management Area rules and regulations. We find that the proposed project is not exempt from the definition of "development;" however, the project will not have a cumulative impact or a significant adverse environmental or ecological effect on the SMA. Therefore, pursuant to PC Rule Section 9-10(e), Special Management Area Minor Permit No. PL-SMM-2026-000085 is hereby issued for the project as described above. It is the applicant's responsibility to read and comply with the conditions listed in the enclosed permit. While further review of the proposed project against the Special Management Area rules and regulations will not be required, all other applicable Zoning Code and Building Code requirements must be satisfied. Additionally, any future development or activities not included in this approval shall require further review and approval as provided under Chapter 205A, HRS and Rule 9, Planning Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure.
