portion of the property, just a small sliver. Their surrounding subdivisions include Kona Heavens, which is just to the north, just adjacent right here, and then Kona View Estates, which is right here.

This is the Official Concurrency Map from the Kona Community Development Plan, which identifies the property as situated within the Kona Urban Area, which is the red outlined area on the map. According to Transportation Policy 6-1, the Kona Urban Area, which includes the subject property, has been designated as a critical road area, as defined in the Zoning Code, whereby rezonings shall comply with the Official Concurrency Map, which identifies the road segments to be constructed concurrent with occupancy of units as the minimum area mitigation. According to the Concurrency Table, the project is within Zone H, which identifies the segments of Kealaka’a Street that need to be constructed concurrent with the occupancy of units as the minimum area mitigation. These two segments are identified as 9B, Kealaka’a Street, which is from Hina Lani Street to Kealakehe Parkway, and Road 9C segment, which is Kealaka’a Street also, which is Kealakehe Parkway to Hao Kuni Street. H is right here and the two segments are right here, and this is Hina Lani Street over here. As of this time there is no completion dates scheduled for either of these segments. For the reasons stated, the project is inconsistent with the Land Use and Transportation policies in the Kona CDP, and the Planning Director is recommending an unfavorable recommendation of this change of zone request.
