JACKSON: Thank you, Mr. Chair. The next item on the agenda is a request for an amendment to a Change of Zone Ordinance and a Special Management Area Permit. The applicant is Ali‘i Palms, LLC. and the subject property is located in the North Kona District, just along Ali‘i Drive. It consists of two properties that are outlined in red kind of in the middle of the slide. You have Ali‘i Drive running in a north-south direction on the makai side of the property and Kuakini Highway also running in a north-south direction above that. And then you can see the future right-of-way for the Ali‘i Parkway along the mauka boundary of the property. The property is zoned Single Family Residential-7,500 square feet, and you can see that a lot of the properties nearby are also zoned either Single Family or Multi Family Residential, which is shown in the light browns and the yellow colors. The property just to the south, which is where the Ali‘i Garden Market Places is located, is zoned Agricultural and that’s shown in the light green color. The General Plan designation for the property is Medium Density Urban, which allows both single-family and multi-family residential development as well as commercial. And the Kona CDP map – it’s a little hard to see the property, I’ve outlined it in the red circle here – the property is located outside of a Transit Oriented Development Area; those are shown by the large blue circles. But it is in Concurrency Zone L, and Concurrency Zone L calls for the construction of Ali‘i Parkway as well as the Lako Street Extension; it identifies those roads as priority road areas, I mean, priority road projects for the area. And this is an aerial photo of the property and surrounding area; you can see it’s currently vacant. You have the Ali‘i Lani Townhouses to the north, Ali‘i Garden Market Place to the south and Kona By the Sea condos, and then Kahakai Estates Residential Subdivision is located mauka of the development. This vacant area just mauka of the property is the future Ali‘i Parkway right-of-way. So in 2004 the applicant received a Change of Zone to rezone the property from Agricultural-5 acres to Single Family Residential-7,500 square feet. And they also receive an SMA Permit to allow a 58-lot single-family residential development. In 2006 they received a Planned Unit Development Permit, and they submitted a preliminary subdivision plat map, and received tentative approval for that. This is a slide showing the applicant’s preliminary subdivision plat map that they submitted back in 2006; you have Ali‘i Drive on the left side of the slide, the access to the subdivision would be located in this area, and then you can see the lots, there is also a park area next to the Ali‘i Parkway, and then an archaeological preserve in this area here. So the applicant is currently requesting to amend Conditions B, J and V of their Change of Zone Ordinance, and Conditions 4 and 6 of their SMA Permit. And Conditions B and 4 are identical in both the Ordinance and the Permit. It required that final subdivision approval for the development be completed by May of 2014. The applicant is requesting a five-year time extension to those two Conditions. And then Conditions J and 6 required construction of drainage improvements prior to final subdivision approval. The applicant is requesting to provide a surety bond so that the subdivision approval can be granted, and then the drainage improvements will be constructed shortly after that. And lastly the applicant is requesting to amend Condition V of the rezone ordinance. Condition V required that their fair share 2 EXHIBIT B
