Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Resolution No. 58-97 transmitted by
Councilmember Bobby Jean Leithead-Todd via Communication No. 219 dated Mazch 17, 1997,
reports as follows:
The purpose of Resolution No. 58-97 is to recommend to the Planning Commission favorable
consideration for A-l0a zoning requests for only those pazcels within the Kaloko Mauka
Subdivision above the 3,000-foot elevation with the inclusion of certain conditions provided that
the other goals, policies, and standards of the General Plan are met.
Because of Council Resolution No. 330-96 adopted by the previous Council, the Planning
Commission has recommended unfavorable consideration for change of zone applications
requesting a density of less than 20 acres.
However, shortly afrer the adoption of Resolution No. 330-96, the same Council approved two
change of zone requests for A-I Oa above the 3,000-foot elevation with more stringent
requirements to mitigate concerns expressed in the resolution. It was felt that through zoning
with the inclusion of such requirements would maintain the densities above the 3,000-foot
elevation and preserve native forests.
Your Committee amended Resolution No. 58-97 by adding the following underscored material
" .such as the Forest Stewardship Program Qr the Soil Conservation Service Management
Program.
Your Committee further amended Resolution No. 58-97 by the following:
1. Deleting in the third WHEREAS, "although" and the County cannot prevent the
bulldozing of agricultural lands and the misuse of the Condominium Property
Regime (C.P.R.) law' ;
2. Replacing in the fourth WHEREAS, "ten-acre minimum lot size" with "maximum
density of two dwellings per twenty acres"; and
3. Adding language in the first sentence of Condition C between "on" and "each lot,"
"and any further subdivision of."
