ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT ON
CHANGE OF ZONE CONDITIONS
ORDINANCE NO. 01-65
MAKALAPUA BUSINESS CENTER
Submitted to the Hawaii County Planning Department
by Belt Collins Hawaii on Behalf of Queen Liliuokalani Trust
August 8, 2004
Condition (A) The petitioner, successors or assigns shall be responsible for complying with
all of the stated conditions of approval.
Acknowledged.
Condition (B) The applicant shall substantially comply with the representations made in its
change of zone application for the industrial-commercial mixed use development.
Through ground leases to various lessees and developers, the Trust is
developing an 11 lot subdivision, adjoining the existing Kona Industrial
Subdivision. Final Subdivision Approval (Subdivision No. 7793) was received for
this application on April 23, 2004.
In conjunction with this subdivision, the Trust is constructing a service road
between Luhia Street and Kuakini Highway to provide access to the 11 lots. The
service road is proposed to be constructed in two phases, including the first
phase which proposes to grade and pave the entire length of the service road,
and the second phase which proposes to upgrade the road County dedicable
standards with curbs, gutters and sidewalks. The second phase will occur
concomitant with future development alongside the road, and dedication of the
road to the County may occur after the second phase. The service road
improvements has been bonded by the Trust as part of the subdivision process.
These actions are consistent with Phase One of the projected phasing diagram
attached to the Trust's change of zone application approved by County
Ordinance No. 01-65.
Condition (C) The applicant shall participate, on a fair share basis, in the funding and
construction of adequate water source, storage, and transmission facilities and improvements to
accommodate the proposed project as determined by the County Department of Water Supply.
Compliance with Condition C shall be satisfied prior to the applicant's submittal of the required
water commitment payment in Condition D.
The Trust will comply with this condition and will continue to coordinate with the DWS
regarding future development activities.
-1-
Condition (D) The applicant shall submit the additional water commitment payment to the
Department of Water Supply in accordance with its "Water Commitment Guidelines Policy" prior
to the issuance of final subdivision approval or final plan approval for Phase 3, if required by the
Department of Water Supply.
In 1995, the Trust paid Facilities Charges for a water commitment of 500 units, covering
future development at the 100-acre Makalapua Business Center. 133 units have been
assigned to the development of the 11-lot subdivision discussed above. There remains
356 units paid for and available to the Trust at Makalapua Business Center.
The Trust will continue to coordinate with DWS regarding any additional water
commitment payments.
Condition (E) The property shall be zoned in three phases. Phase 1 shall consist of
approximately 35 acres. Final subdivision approval of all increments within Phase 1, or final
plan approval for all developments within Phase 1, whichever is applicable, shall be secured
within ten (10) years from the effective date of this change of zone ordinance. Phase 2 shall
consist of approximately 25 acres and shall be developed within ten (10) years from the
completion of Phase 1 development, as determined by the Planning Director. Phase 3 shall
consist of approximately 30 acres and shall be developed within ten (10) years from the
completion of Phase 2 development, as determined by the Planning Director.
On October 12, 2000, the Trust received final subdivision approval for 3 lots
totaling 12.927 acres. These lots include the recently completed HPM hardware
store along Queen Kaahumanu Highway and the Luhia Street extension from
Makala Blvd. to the Kona Industrial Subdivision. Excluding the Luhia Street
extension lot, the net development area is 11.181 acres.
On April 23, 2004, the Trust received final subdivision approval for 11 lots totaling
21.1 acres along the southern boundary (closest to KIS) of Makalapua Business
Center. Excluding the new service road lot, the net development area is 17.9
acres.
While subdivision and grading has been completed in the two areas noted above
(totaling 13 available lots and equal to 29.081 acres), the Trust has leased 3 lots
and is in the process of leasing 6 of the remaining 10 available lots. The Trust
continues to seek development interest for the balance of the Phase One area.
Both of these actions are consistent with the anticipated Phase One areas
depicted in the Trust's Change of Zone application for Ordinance No. 01-65. The
timetable for the completion of Phase One and the future development of Phases
Two and Three will ultimately be dependent on market conditions.
Condition (F) The applicant shall adhere to the overall landscaping master plan and
development design manual approved by the Planning Director in accordance with Ordinance
No. 92-85.
Acknowledged.

Makala Boulevard and Luhia Street intersection throughout the development of Phase 1 and will

traffic impacts from the proposed phase(s). Construction of improvements within the project
area, including the intersection of Makala Boulevard and the Old Airport Road, as
recommended by the TIAR and/or required by the Planning Director in consultation with the
DPW or the DOT shall be a condition of development of either or both phases. If it is
determined by the TIAR or the Planning Director in consultation with DPW and/or DOT that
project-generated traffic, together with traffic generated from other sources, warrant off-site
roadway improvements, the applicant shall participate, on a fair share basis, in the funding and
construction of these improvements concomitant with development of the project area.
The Trust will comply with this condition. Phase One remains less than 35% developed,
and development on Phase Two and Phase Three is not yet being proposed.
