Re: Bill No. 163 (Comm. 493) -Proposed Ordinance Adopting the County of
Hawaii General Plan and Repealing~Ordinance No. 89-142, As Amended
Dear Councilmembers and Mr. Yuen:
On behalf of our client, Continental Pacific, LLC, we object to one of the
revisions to the County of Hawaii General Plan proposed in the above-referenced Bill that
is currently under consideration by the County Council. The Bill would change an area in
the vicinity of Pepeekeo at TMK (3) 2-8-007: 053 from "Intensive Agricultural" and
"Extensive Agricultural" to "Industrial" on the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation
Guide ("LUPAG") Map. This proposed revision is labeled "B-2" on the attached
LUPAG Map.
As you may be aware, Continental Pacific's plans for developing the area
into agricultural and residential lots are already established and in process, pursuant to the
Settlement Agreement for Board of Appeals and Subdivision of Continental Pacific, LLC
Lands dated April 12, 2002, by and between Continental Pacific and the County of
Hawaii. Tentative approval of Continental Pacific's preliminary plat map for SUB 2002-
0043, the Pepeekeo Makai Lands, was granted on July 22, 2002. In addition, Continental
Pacific will soon be submitting applications to rezone a portion of TMK (3) 2-8-0~0~7~: 053

from MG-Sa General Industrial to RS-20 Single-Family Residential. The proposed
General Plan policy of permitting fixture industrial uses in this area does not take into
consideration the existing plans that are already in process for the land owned by
Continental Pacific in this area. In addition, allowing fixture industrial development on
adjoining lands owned by other owners in this area would not be compatible with the
planned agricultural and single-family residential uses for this area. Therefore, we
respectfully request that the Planning Department and the County Council reject any
proposed General Plan LUPAG map or text amendments for this area.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
Steven S.C. i
