Yout Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 239, transmitted jointly with Bill
No. 240 by Mayor Stephen K. Yamashiro per Communication No. 830, dated Apri124, 1498,
regazding the State Land Use Boundary Amendment request by Regency Pacific, Inc. at
Hienaloli 2"", North Kona, Hawaii, TMK: 7-5-10: Portion of 15, reports as follows:
Bill No. 239 amends the State Land Use Boundazies Map, H-7 by changing the district
classification for approximately 1. ] 50 acres of land from an Agricultural to an Urban zoned
district.
The subject property is located on the east side of Hualalai Road, adjacent and south of the
Keopu Flood Channel and across the Hualalai Center.
The subject property, owned in fee by the Gomes Family Limited Partnership, is an irregulaz-
shaped flat lot with a 6% slope from Hualalai Road up to the eastern boundary of the property.
There aze no structures on the property other than the badly damaged portions of the Great Wall
of Kuakini that will be left undisturbed and intact.
The Gomes Family Limited Partnership has authorized the filing of these applications. Regency
Pacific, Inc. has an agreement to purchase the property through a Limited Liability Company and
operate the facility.
The applicant wishes to develop a 129-unit assisted living facility and related improvements.
The pazcel has two State Land Use designations Agricultural and Urban. The application for the
State Land Use Boundary Amendment is required to convert the 1.150 acres of land from an
agricultural district to an urban district.
The Urban designation will not be detrimental to the reduction of this azea from the agricultural
land inventory in the County of Hawaii. In doing so, the designation would tend to alleviate the
conversion of more productive agricultural lands in more appropriate locations within the North
Kona azea for Urban Low Density type uses. The Urban designation would complement the
existing and future residential land use patterns of the surrounding properties in view of the
adjacent residential subdivisions.
PC Report 116
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose of Bill No. 234, and
