PLACE: Councilroom
TIME: 11:10 a.m.
Chair and Members
. Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 229, transmitted jointly with Bill
No. 230 by Mayor Harry Kim, per Communication No. 673, dated June 6, 2002, regarding the
State Land Use Boundary Amendment request by Bart T. Cahoon Trust, at Kalaoa 4th, North
Kona, Hawaii, TMK: 7-3-5:97. reports as follows:
Bill No. 229 amends the State Land Use Boundaries Map, H-7 for the County of Hawaii, by
changing the district classification for approximately 6.904 acres of land from an Agricultural to
an Urban zoned district.
The irregular shaped lot, owned in fee by the Bart T. Cahoon Trust, lies north of Kona Palisades
Subdivision, and is bordered by Mamalahoa on the east, and `Ili`Ili Street to the west. Currently
vacant, the land was previously used as pasture, and the applicant has now planted eucalyptus,
ironwood and Mexican cypress trees along the northern and eastern boundaries of the subject
property.
The General Plan LUPAG map designation is Urban Expansion, which allows a mix of high
density, medium density, low density, industrial andlor open designations in areas where new
settlements may be desirable, but where the specific settlement pattern and mix of uses have not
yet been determined.
The Keahole to Kailua Development Plan, adopted on April 3, 1991 by the County Council,
designates the subject parcel for residential expansion.
The Kona Regional Plan, adopted by the Planning Commission in 1984, recommends the project
area for residential uses at a density of four units per acre.
The subject parcel is not part of the Special Management Area, as it is located over three miles
from the nearest coastline.
The subject parcel is located between Kona Coastview Subdivision to the north and Kona
Palisades Subdivision to the south. These subdivisions, essentially non-conforming residential
sized lots between 8,000 to 20,000 square feet, lie within the State Land Use Urban District and
County zoned Agricultural-Sa district.
The property is located within Zone X, an area outside the 500-year flood plain.
Your Committee did not entertain further discussion on this measure.
