Island of Hawaii. In particular, Downtown Hilo, with its historic wooden structures, is at risk from widespread fire. Each of these elements are critical to consider in any planning process. Moreover, developments related to climate change and rising sea levels represent an emerging concern that warrants further attention. Project Area and Contextual Information: The project boundaries applicable to EDH 2025 are indicated by the black line in the adjacent image. The boundary coincides with the Downtown Hilo Commercial District (CDH), which allows for mixed commercial, residential, and open spaces. This area is framed to the north by the Wailuku River; to the east by Hilo Bay; to the south by Ponahawai Street; and in the west by Kapiolani Street. The area is bordered by both the Pu'ueo and Kukuau sub - areas. The red dashed line indicates the Special Management Area (SMA). All developments proposed within the SMA require a SMA Maior or Minor Permit to be processed by the Planning Department.

Accordingly, the Planning Department receives funds from NOAA through the State Office of Planning to promote and reinforce CZM objectives. There are no parking requirements for new development in Downtown Hilo. The lack of available parking ranks consistently high in community surveys as one of Downtown Hilo's greatest challenges. Resolving the issue of parking corresponds with the need to address the lack of multi -modal transportation, including pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
