north some Community, sorry, Village Commercial zoning. The General Plan designation for the subject parcel and surrounding area is Medium Density Urban as indicated by this mustard color. The State Land Use Boundary designation for the area is Urban as well. And relative to the Kona CDP the subject parcel is located in the Kona Urban Area, and is also located within the Kailua Village Redevelopment Regional Center TOD, which is in this rose-colored circle here. This aerial photograph is again just showing the subject property outlined in yellow here; I just wanted to give you a sense of where it is relative to some of the single-family and the multiple-family dwelling type of uses in the area. The applicant is requesting a five-year time extension, which amends Condition C, time to complete construction, of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 05 74. The Change of Zone Ordinance rezoned approximately 6.27 acres of land from Resort Hotel-1,250 square feet per unit and Agricultural-1 acre zoning districts to Multiple Family Residential-2,500 square foot per unit zoning district. The purpose of this zoning change was to allow the construction of a 92-unit condominium project known as the Hale Nanea Condominiums. Here is the applicant’s site plan. Again, this is Hualālai Road running east-west through the slide. You see the main access here and then the condo development and the interior of the property. Here are some photographs just showing the frontage of the property along Hualālai Road; this is kind of directly on where the Change of Zone sign is and then more mauka. And this is looking along Hualālai Road; looking makai the property is on the left, and if you are looking mauka along Hualālai Road the property is on the right. So the Planning Director is recommending a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council, with a modification. We, the Director felt that instead of the five years that the applicant originally requested, we are recommending an extension of ten years to complete construction due to the size and the scale of the project, which has plan to include road infrastructure improvements, as well as two construction phases. So we thought that an additional five years on the request would be appropriate. I have just two additional things. You should have received via email yesterday and in your packets today a memo that we got yesterday from the Department of Public Works. And, again, that came out since we sent out the background and rec. And then if you look at the background report, Page 2, Item 10, there was just a factual correction here: It indicates that the issuance of building permit for 44 condo units took place in November 2014; in reality those permits were applied for and signed off on but they have yet to be issued. So with that I’m happy to answer any questions that the Commission may have. BEAUDET: Go ahead, Commissioners, any questions? Tom. WHITTEMORE: We, as I understand it, there are two phases now to this project? KAY: Correct. 2 EXHIBIT A
