reports as follows:
Bill No. 18, transmitted by Managing Director William V. Brilhante, Jr., via Communication No. 77,
dated December 27, 2024, amends Section 25-8-7 (North and South Kohala District Zone Map),
Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning) of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as amended), by
changing the district classification from Agricultural — 1 acre (A -la) to Single Family Residential —

(por.) (Applicant: Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation) (Area: 14.321 acres).
The Leeward Planning Commission forwards its favorable recommendation for this amendment to the
State Land Use Boundaries Map and for the requested change of zone, with an amendment to
Condition N (Fair Share), which would allow the applicant to subdivide the property into 43 lots. The
property is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Kawaihae Road and Waiula Drive,
Kawaihae 2" d-Lanikepu, Waimea, South Kohala.
Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation Executive Director Keith Kato and Planning

Mr. Darrow provided a PowerPoint presentation via Communication No. 77.1, which outlined the
favorable recommendation of the Leeward Planning Commission and the Planning Director, and
amendment to Condition "N".
Your Committee on Legislative Approvals and Acquisitions is in accord with the purpose and intent of
