Resort-Hotel – 2 acre, to V-7.5, which would be Resort-Hotel – 7,500 square feet. This would be for the 7.849-acre portion of the property, and the current Resort-Hotel zoning, which is the V-2a, requires two acres of land per dwelling or rentable unit; therefore, the current zoning allows a maximum density of five dwelling units. The applicant’s current request is to change the density, the zoning density, to 7,500 square feet per dwelling unit, this would allow up to 45 dwelling or rentable units on the seven acres. And the last entitlement would be a new Special Management Area Use Permit for the seven-acre portion of the property, and that would cover the proposed resort development and the subdivision of the ten-acre property into two lots. This is the applicant’s proposed site plan, and I’m just going to go over a few things on the plan, so bear with me. This road here is called Ku‘uali‘i Place; it comes off of the Waikoloa Beach Road near the Queens’ Market Place and kind of curves around and ends in a cul-de-sac here. The some of the features in the area are public access; there is a 78-stall public beach parking lot just located east of the subject property, and then the folks who want to walk to the beach would walk along this concrete pathway to the cul-de-sac, and then there is a walkway down to the beach in this area here; there is also a comfort station with restrooms and showers generally in this location here. And so you can see the property is this general area here. You can see the two lots, the proposed two lots; one would be here, this is the two-acre property, and then the area outlined in red is the remaining 7.8-acre property. So the request would be, just to repeat it again, is to pull the seven-acre property out of SMA Permit 412 and have it just to apply to this two-acre property. And then seeking, the applicant seeks a rezone of the area outlined in red and 44-unit resort development would be within the area outlined in red. So the existing Lava Lava Beach driveway is located here off of Ku‘uali‘i Place. The restaurant is located here. There’s some parking nearby. And then for the proposed 44-unit development you have a 55-stall parking lot here and admin and café building, reception area in this location. There would not be internal roadways; these are walking paths, concrete walking paths. You have a pool in this location, and then event garden, as well as a little gym facility here. And then the 44 units are spread out in this location and along the southern boundary of the property. Some of the historic and cultural resources on the property are large anchialine pond located here, there is a small anchialine pond just north of that in this location, and then there is an ephemeral, or temporary, pond located in this location here near the parking lot. There are three historic trails that are owned by the State of Hawai‘i, and those come onto the property in this location, this location and this location here. And these three trails meet up off of the property further south and they eventually connect to the Ala Loa Trail further mauka. So as part of the proposal the applicant is, I’m sorry, there is also a petroglyph field here and in this location here. And as part of the proposal the applicant will be providing buffers around a lot of the cultural and archaeological features, as well as the ability for people traveling on the trail to walk along the concrete path here down to the bay. So the County zoning for the property is Resort-Hotel – 2 acres, which is shown in the light purple color. Properties immediately to the north, east and south are zoned Open, and nearby properties further east and northeast are zoned Resort, which are shown in the bright pink color, and Village Commercial, which is shown in the light pink color. 4 EXHIBIT B
