The project conforms to two of the Overall Polices for Land Use in Waimea Town as detailed below: Waimea Policy 1: Preservation of Waimea's Sense of Place The project is designed to encourage residential development that is more reminiscent of our older traditional small towns where the buildings were used to define pedestrian oriented streetscapes. This type of planning strategy is more in keeping with the type of residential development that reflects Waimea town's paniolo heritage. Waimea Policy 2: Responsible Growth The project is located in the town of Waimea with land that is currently zoned for this type of residential use and for this type of growth. Utility infrastructure is available to the site along with major arterial roadways.
