neighborhood commercial and single family and multiple family residential and related functions, up to 35 units per acre; typical zonings you would see in the Medium Density area is Single-Family, Double-Family, Multiple-Family, Residential-Commercial Mixed Use, Neighborhood Commercial, Village Commercial, Project Districts and Open zoning designations. This is just to give you some perspective. This is the current zone district map for the Kea‘au area. The dark green color represents Agricultural 20-acre zoning. This white area off to your left is Industrial zoned lands, and encompasses Shipman Industrial. This is the Gateway project identified by a mixed use Commercial Industrial zoning. The yellow represents Single-Family Residential uses. This white here at the intersection of the Old Kea‘au-Pāhoa Road and Highway 11 is the current commercial core for Kea‘au Town, and off to your right is the Kea‘au Agricultural Lots, which is basically zoned Ag-1 and supports one-acre agricultural parcels. And finally this map attempts to show you spatially what is on the ground when overlaid with the proposed Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map. Again, the focus of the proposed amendment is just this particular crosshatched area here around the existing Kea‘au commercial core, roughly 475 acres going from Low Density to Medium Density Urban and an additional 112 acres from Important Ag Land to Medium Density Urban. And I believe just under crosshatch you can see the Kea‘au High School complex. So with that, I think that concludes my presentation, and I stand ready to answer any questions that you may have. BEAUDET: Commissioners, any comments or discussion, or questions of staff? I’m not aware of anyone in the audience who had signed up to testify on the application. So with that, Commissioners, I’d like to move for a motion of action, please. NOBRIGA: I move that the applicant for Resolution Number 464 14 be approved by the Planning Director. Kea‘au Village – here we go, okay, now I’ve got the number – I move that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council on the application for the General Plan amendment, Docket Number GPA 14-002, pursuant to the Planning Director’s findings and recommendations, which shall be adopted. KAHOLO: I second. BEAUDET: It has been moved for a favorable recommendation by Commissioner Nobriga and seconded by Commissioner Kaholo. Any discussion before a roll call? Daryn? ARAI: Commissioner Nobriga? NOBRIGA: Aye. ARAI: Commissioner Kaholo? KAHOLO: Aye. 4 EXHIBIT E
