These actions were favorably recommended by t e Planning Commission pursuant to the General Plan which earm rks the subject area for resort uses. The County Council also finds that public concerns over the mplementation of the General Plan for the subject area have been raised. Some area residents have argued that land use hanges which would affect the status quo of the region woul drastically alter existing lifestyles and precipitate nega ive social impacts; would have significant adverse effects upon the natural environment; would destroy the natural beauty of t e area; and would not benefit the public health and i. ~ t welf re. It is the finding d~'Che County Council that such public concerns merit serious consideration before irreversibly fitting more of the Kalapana-Kaimu area for resort and/or er density uses. The County Council also finds that a Puna Community lopment Plan (CDP) will be shortly initiated and is cted to be completed before December of 1976.

AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE DEFERRAL OF AI~IENDM.ENTS TO CIIAPTER 8 (ZONITdG CODE) OF THE HAWAII COUIQTY CODE, AS AP4ENDED, RELATING TO '1HE KALAPANF.-KAIh1U AREA. BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIh OF THE COUNTY OI' IIAWAILc SECTION ].. FINDINGS ATID PURPOSE It is the finding of the County Council that in recent years, actions have been initiated which may irreversibly affect the I:alapana-Kaimu region. In particular, such actions pertain to land use changes which would intensify activities in the area to a greater degree than i~rhat exists at the present time. A Special. Permit has been granted to allow the development of 350 hotel units and 74 condominium units, and a resort change of zone request for a drive-in facility is now pending before the County Cov.ncil. These actions were favorably recom*,iended by the Planning Commission pursuant to the General Plan which earmarks the subject area for resort uses. The County Council also finds that public concerns over the implementation of the General Plan for the subject area have been raised. Some area residents have argued that land use changes which would affect the status quo of the region would drastically alter existing lifestyles and precipitate negative social impacts; would have significant adverse effects upon the natural environment; would destroy the natural beauty of the area; and would not benefit the public health and welfare. It is the finding o,f the County Council that such public concerns merit serious consideration before irreversibly conunitting more of the Kalapana-Kaimu area for resort and/or higher density uses. The County Council also finds that a Puna Community Development Plan (CDP) will be shortly initiated and is expected- to be completed before December. of 1976. The CDP is to serve as a specific guide for the area pursuant to they goals and objectives of the General Plan. The CDP will al:.o contain a feasibility study as to the economic growth of the Kalapana-Kaimu area on a short-term basis. It will, therefore, necessitate a discussion as to the feasibility of corainuing to retair. the Kalapana-Kaimu area as an area for resort or higher density uses. Additionally, the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map is scheduled for an up-date and should be available for County Council consideration before December of 1976. Soth planning efforts will include e7;tensive citizen participation, an ingredient necessary to develcp responsive and implementable plans. It is the further finding of the County Council that in view of the public concerns and impending General Plan up-date and. Puna Community Development Plan efforts, i.t would not be in the best public interest to irreversibly commit the Kalapana- Kaimu area for resort and/or higher density uses. The development of the General Plan of the County of Hawaii in the late 1960's considered the Kalapana-Kaimu area to be a destination area in line with the philosophies and economic situation which existed in the County at that time. Recent -2- governmental actions which affect the residents of that area have been confronted with a greater voice of the local residents which was not measured before. It is, therefore, necessary to render an objective view of the present situation anc'. future situation as regard to an environmental impact and reassessment of the entire area for present living conditions, future living conditions, and also future development poe,sibilities. The purpose of this ordinance is, therefore, to defer any -rezoning acticns in the Kalapana-ICaimu area until such tirr,e as the General Plan Land Use Pattern P.llocation Guide May revision and the Puna Community Development Plan are corrpleted and adopted by the County Council and the Planning Cormission, respectively, or December 31, 1976, whichever is sooner.
