<br />GIFFIN: Commissioners, we are now on Agenda Item No. 2. The applicant is Waikoloa Mauka,
<br />LLC. The application is an amendment, a request for an amendment to Condition B, Final
<br />Subdivision Approval, of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 07 127. Daryn?
<br />
<br />ARAI: Thank you. Once again, directing your attention to the location map on our presenter on the
<br />screen. Again, I believe you are familiar with the orientation of this map due to the previous
<br />application; but this time we are focusing on this property here located along the south, or Kona
<br />side of Waikoloa Road, which maintains zoning of Agricultural-1a. The white line you see running
<br />from left to right on the screen is Waikoloa Road. And again, the area that we just considered,
<br />Hawaiian Riverbend, is located in this proximity here along the north side of Waikoloa Road. The
<br />applicant’s, excuse me, this is a close-up of the project site. Again, it’s the area outlined by the
<br />mustard color, which currently maintains a zoning designation of Agricultural-1a, as well as some
<br />Open district classifications here indicated by the darker green color. This is the State Land Use
<br />District Boundary Map, which identifies the project site as maintaining a Rural classification that
<br />was secured by the applicant in 2005 from the state Land Use Commission. This is the General
<br />Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map, which closely replicates the zone district map that I
<br />showed you earlier, showing a Rural designation as indicated by the mustard color, with Open
<br />classified, or Open designation shown in the dark green. This is the South Kohala Community
<br />Development Plan Concept Plan, and the project site is located here where my laser pointer is
<br />showing, and the Plan does already recognize the project site as an existing project. This is an
