Any project greater than 20 acres within the Kona UA may apply for the TND Floating Zone. b. Conventional Rezoning. Rezoning to other than TND, is subject to the following guidelines: i. Consistency with LUPAG. Refer to Policy LU-1.3. ii. Infill. Rezonings that promote infill are encouraged. The concept of infill is to connect two or more pre-existing developments. Infill is usually associated with small scale developments of 20 acres or less that have been leapfrogged by the surrounding or adjacent developments. Infill rezonings should be conditioned to ensure connectivity to the surrounding developments and, where applicable, to provide mixed-use opportunities to make the area more walkable. iii. “Greenfields” Rezoning. Rezoning anywhere within the Kona UA, whether within or outside a TOD area designated on Figure 4-7 Official Kona Land Use Map, that is not a TOD, TND, or infill shall require an amendment to the Kona CDP that triggers HRS Chapter 343 Environmental Review Process. c. State Land Use. Where a rezoning application meets the above criteria, the County shall support a State Land Use Urban Boundary amendment for lands within the County Urban Expansion Area. Objective LU-3: Rural Area Growth Management. To preserve the rural character of the existing rural towns, the agricultural lifestyle, and the open landscape.
