right on the opposite side of Hienaloli. Zooming in, you can see greater detail. Again, the subject property here is outlined in black, and is situated itself on land designated Agricultural 5-acres by the Zoning Code. Off to your left, which is makai, is another property, which recently received Residential zoning designation back in 2010. The property is commonly referred to as the Hu Ko Pa project. This is the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map. As you can see, the map itself shows the location of the Urban Expansion Area as indicated by this crosshatch designation. This green color off to the right is Intensive Agricultural, and the yellow colors represent Residential, or Low-density Urban I should say, which is consistent with the single-family residential type of uses. Back in 2010 the planning director did interpret the subject property as being situated entirely within the General Plan Urban Expansion Area. This is a map depicting the State Land Use District Boundaries within the area. The pink color represents those lands designated Urban, or for Urban uses. The green represents those lands designated for Agricultural uses. The yellow color here off to the right, which encompasses the Kona Orchard Subdivision, among others, is designated for Rural type of uses. Again, one of the applications you have before you today is to change the State Land Use District classification of the property from Agriculture to Urban. This is a map that is showing the Kona Community Development Plan. As you can see by this red line here, it basically outlines the Kona Urban Area. The subject property is situated right here where my pointer is showing, and as depicted on this map, it does straddle the boundary of the Kona Urban Area. However, as you may have noticed, the boundary of the Kona Urban Area aligns itself with the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map for Urban Expansion type of uses, and since the planning director interpreted that the entire property falls within the General Plan Urban Expansion Area, likewise, the property would therefore fall within the Urban Area as depicted by the Kona Community Development Plan. And if there are any perceived conflicts between those two plans, the General Plan will prevail. This is an aerial photo showing some detail of the project site, which is again outlined in black, as indicated by my pointer. You may notice some additional references, for example, Pualani Estates in this particular location just to the southwest, Hualālai Heights off in this particular location here. The applicant is requesting, as I mentioned, a State Land Use boundary amendment from Agriculture to Urban, a change of zone from Agricultural 5-acres minimum lot size to Single-Family Residential 15,000 square feet minimum lot size for approximately 14.968 acres of land. The reason for the request is to propose a 43-lot subdivision. The project itself will provide for future road connectivity with the adjoining Parcel 42, which is located makai, or west of the project site, and commonly referred to as the Hu Ko Pa project. Improvements will include a stub-out for a future extension for Pualena Street through Parcel 22, which is located to the south, to eventually connect with Puapuaanui Road, which then extends west all the way to Kuakini Highway. Should the rezoning be approved, the applicant intends to submit the application for a planned unit development for flexibility in design and selection of smaller lot sizes with the minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet to be accessed by non-dedicable roadways. This is a concept map provided by the applicant. As you can see, Hualālai Road is located at the top of the map, running in this location here with makai being off to the left of this concept site plan. You can see the interior proposed roadway sections with the stub-out to the south that will eventually connect with Pualena Street once development of the southern property is pursued, and it 2 EXHIBIT B
