1. INVENTORY
1.1 LOCATION
Waimea is at the hub of South Kohala, the crossroads linking
Kona, Kawaihae and North Kohala with the Hamakua Coast and Hilo, as
shown in Figure 1.1. It serves local ranching and intensive agricultural
interests as a regional retail and supportive center.
1.2 FORM
Waimea nestles into the Kohala Mountains, at the 2,600 foot
elevation on the edge of the saddle which connects with Mauna Kea to
the southeast. Surface water flows in a southerly direction from the
Kohala Mountains to form Waikoloa Stream which flows in a westerly
direction through Waimea town towards Kawaihae. This water-course is
supplemented by Kohakohau Stream, which flows to the coast parallel
with Waikoloa Stream.
1.3 LAND USE
1.3.1 Land Tenure
Large undeveloped tracts adjoining Waimea are owned by the
State Department of Land and Natural Resources, the State Department of
Hawaiian Home Lands, and the Parker Ranch. The latter owns most land
which is suitable for expansion of town center supportive activities,
and residential and industrial development. Lots in urban and agricultural
use in Waimea are generally in separate fee-simple ownership.
The original "Waimea Homesteads" subdivision has lots of approxi-
mately 2.3 acres. It is still mostly in this form and has set the open
flexible development pattern which characterizes Waimea. Figure 1.3
illustrates the land tenure pattern.
1.3.2 General Plan
The General Plan establishes urban growth patterns in all direc-
tions. Itshows major growth areas to the north to the Kohala Mountains
on State-owned land, and to the saddle on Parker Ranch land. It shows a
5.3 mile east-west linear urban pattern between the existing Lalamilo
subdivision near the Kohala Mountain Road and Puu Nani subdivision on
Mamalahoa Highway.
Figure 1.4 illustrates the General Plan concept and the potential
conflicts it creates with prime intensive agricultural lands on both sides
of Mamalahoa Highway east of Waimea and with a portion of the Lalamilo
farm lots near the race track.
1.3.3 Zoning
Figure 1.5 shows State Urban land use and County zoning.
Approximately 70% of the land classified by the State as Urban are also
zoned for urban use by the County. Most other State Urban classified
land is in the Waimea Homestead area where "low density residential" lots
are zoned AG 1A, and therefore not included in the County zoned category.
1.3.4 Existing Land Use
Figure 1.6 indicates land use.
1.3.5 Existing Central Area
The area abutting and south of Mamalahoa Highway, between Waimea
Elementary School and the Civic Center site has been defined as the "Central
area" for the purpose of this study. Construction of a medical clinic is
underway on the site adjoining the Civic Center.
1.4 CONDITION OF STRUCTURES
There are few structures in Waimea which are considered by residents
to be in a poor or dilapidated condition. For the most part, Waimea residents
take pride in their homes. The condition of their home reflects this pride.
1.5 CIRCULATION
Kawaihae Road and Mamalahoa Highway, major highway links in the
Kohala region, intersect at Waimea. The Kohala Mountain Road connects with
the former at the western edge of Waimea. This major road network forms
the circulatory spine from which residential and agricultural roads extend.
Figure 1.7 indicates the existing road system.
Pedestrian and horse circulation needs are not specifically
accommodated on circulation systems of their own.
1.6 PUBLIC FACILITIES
Public facilities are located in Figure 1.8 and listed below:
Kamuela Airport Library
Waimea Civic Center Waimea Elementary School
Court House Gymnasium
Police Station Post Office
Fire Station
1.7 OVERHEAD UTILITIES
Electricity, telephone and cable TV lines are routed throughout
Waimea with main distribution lines for both Waimea and the region located
in the Mamalahoa Highway and Kawaihae Road rights-of-way. Cable TV lines
usually share the telephone pole system. Electricity, telephone line
routes are shown in Figure 1.9.

2 URBAN DESIGN ANALYSIS
2.1 STUDY AREA
The Waimea study area extends west from the Hamakua District
Border to the Lalamilo residential subdivision west of the town. Consider-
able development exists and is anticipated for this area. Approximately
45% of existing dwelling units in the area are located east of the town
center, in agriculturally designated areas (TMK Section 4) .
2.2 ISSUES
A Planning and Urban Design Committee to guide the Consultant
was established at the request of the County Planning Director to
Mr. Richard Penhallow, President of the Waimea-Kawaihae Community
Association. Committee members are: Mr. James M. Whitman, Chairman;
Mr. Richard Smart, Mrs. Frank Lawrence, Mr. Masayoshi Onodera, and
Mr. William Morriss.
The Planning and Urban Design Committee provided considerable
input on both planning and urban design issues. Major urban design issues
determined by the Committee are:
1. Preserve the "paniolo" or ranch character.
2. Contain Waimea north of the proposed by-pass road.
3. Limit easterly and westerly urban sprawl.
4. Preserve the Kohala Mountains and puu's above the present
tree line.
5. Preserve the Waimea Court House as a historic building.
6. Develop and implement architectural guidelines consistent
with the "paniolo" character.
7. Identify and put into public use riding trails connecting
the town, racetrack, and Kohala Mountains.
8. Develop and implement suitable sign standards.
9. Implement suitable street development and lighting standards.
10. Preserve existing trees.
During the various public hearings and meetings conducted by the
County Council on the draft Plan, additional planning and design issues
were brought up. These included:
1. The need for an urban design plan.
2. The accuracy of the term "paniolo" to describe the design
character of Waimea.
3. The need for additional setback and height restrictions.
4. The role of the community in implementing the Plan.
-3-
2.3 URBAN FORM
The General Plan indicates urban expansion of Waimea between the
Lalamilo houselots to the west and Puu Nani to the east. It also indicates
expansion of urban land to the State-owned hillside area north of the
Waimea homesteads and Puukapu Homestead areas. Significant urban expansion
is feasible in this area.
Expansion south and west of the town center into lands owned
by Parker Ranch is also appropriate, as indicated in Figure 2.1. The
proposed by-pass road would serve as a natural southern boundary for
Waimea, and would contain urbanization north of it.
Figure 2.2 illustrates the form of Waimea and its complementary
relationship to Kohala Mountains. High buildings and structures would
detract from this relationship.
2.4 LAND USE
2.4.1 Existing Land Use
Existing use of land in Waimea falls primarily into residential,
commercial, and light industrial categories. Within the residential
category, low density single-family houses predominate with the exception
of two multi-family projects near Opelu Road.
2.4.2 Existing Zoning
Zoning within the SLUC urban area includes various Single-Family
Residential categories, Multiple-Family Residential, Village and Neighbor-
hood Commercial categories, Limited Industrial, Resort-Hotel, Open District
and Agriculture One-Acre.
Present residential zoning categories are of a low density nature.
However, the height limit permitted under the Zoning Code is 2-1/2 stories
or 35 feet, which is higher than the predominantly one-story scale in
Waimea. Residential subdivisions are being developed without guidance of
an overall planning concept.
The two commercial zone categories permit subdivision of up to
7,500 sq. ft. lots, average site width of 60 feet and development without
side yards and to a height of three stories or 40 feet. Multi-family
housing can also be constructed within this zone and at a density up to
34 dwelling units per acre if other requirements can be met. Two multi-
family structures near Opelu Road were built on this basis. Continued
use of the small lot size, small frontage, lack of side yards and three-
story height limit could lead to development that is out of character with
the low profile "ranch" character of Waimea.
A number of light industrial uses are located east of Parker
Shopping Center. These are not compatible with the adjoining commercial
and medical clinic uses and may be more appropriate in a separate indus-
trial area.
2.4.3 Procedures
At present, applications for building permits can be made
directly to the County for buildings within the above mentioned zoning
districts based on provisions of the Zoning Code. The limited design
review process in effect through the Plan Approval procedure is not
based on design goals, consequently design of any major building could
run contrary to the character of Waimea.

2.5 CIRCULATION
2.5.1 Traffic
Traffic patterns for Waimea are caused by regional flow through
the town center and by local movements. While the volume of regional
traffic, indicated in Figure 2.3, is modest in numerical terms, a signifi-
cant amount of this traffic is heavy truck movement between the Hamakua
Coast and Kawaihae Harbor. The proposed Waimea by-pass road could greatly
reduce urban traffic volumes on Mamalahoa Highway and reduce the impact
of large vehicles in Waimea. The regional and major internal road use
patterns for Waimea are shown in Figure 2.3.
Within the Central Area, the problem is primarily that of provid-
ing accessibility to developable land. This can be achieved by modification
and extension to the existing road system. Alternative circulation concepts
are shown in Figure 2.4 and are as follows:
1. Retain existing circulation.
2. Extend Lindsey Road and secondary circulation.1
3. Modify and extend both primary and secondary circulation.
COMPARISON OF CIRCULATION ALTERNATIVES

--Minimum cost --Encourages strip commercial develop-
ment along Mamalahoa Highway

2.5.2 Parking
Extensive off-street parking is provided at the Parker Ranch
Shopping Center. In some parts of Waimea, parking is on Mamalahoa Highway
or Kawaihae Road. At Waimea Elementary School, and east of Parker Ranch
Shopping Center, cars are parked on Mamalahoa Highway on paved extensions
to the highway.
2.5.3 Pedestrians
Sidewalks exist on both sides of Mamalahoa Highway adjacent to
the Post Office and Parker Ranch Shopping Center, and on both sides of
Lindsey Road north of Mamalahoa Highway to Kawaihae Road. The sidewalk
could be extended; however, a flexible approach to layout could be adopted
in order to preserve significant existing features such as "stone" walls
and trees on Mamalahoa Highway on and near the medical clinic and Civic
Center sites. This same approach could be used on Kawaihae Road between
Lindsey Road and Opelu Road.
2.5.4 Horses
Horses are a very significant part of the Waimea lifestyle.
However, they have not been considered within the town growth pattern.
Noticeable conflicts occur between pedestrians, vehicles and horses on
Mamalahoa Highway in the central area because the road pavement and road-
side parking is poorly defined and there is no established horse and
biking trails.

2.6 ENTRY SEQUENCE
A visual entry sequence is a series of scenes one perceives in
moving through a space. It includes the sensation of view, light, texture,
color, mass and variations of space. Visual entry sequences for Waimea's
three entry routes were explored as follows:
1. From the east on Mamalahoa Highway.
2. From the south on Mamalahoa Highway.
3. From the west on Kawaihae Road.
2.6.1 From East on Mamalahoa Highway
Figure 2.5, containing 12 views, illustrates the entry sequence
one perceives as he enters Waimea on Mamalahoa Highway.
Views 1 to 5 show the views, partly framed by Eucalyptus, perceived
by a driver as he approaches Waimea. The key components of the sequence are
as follows:
A cool sense of enclosure created by hedgerows
of Eucalyptus trees along both sides of the
road. These hedgerows occur at intervals which
create a varying sequence of light, shade, and
scenic views. The absence of trees on the right
in View 2 allows views to lush pastures, an
occasional ramshackled structure, and toward two
puu's. Similar openings through the trees on the
left permit views of agricultural and grazing
lands, and occasional views of Mauna Kea in the
distance.
The initial view of Waimea town, shown in View 6, is characterized
by the presence of old automobiles and trucks and poorly maintained build-
ings.
Views 7 to 11 illustrate the sequence within the central area
of Waimea. Tree masses predominate on the left side only until one
reaches the town center, decreasing the sense of enclosure and increasing
the opportunities for vistas on the right.
View 12 is the first of a sequence of views of a continuing
pattern of Eucalyptus hedgerows at various intervals along the roadway.
As one leaves the town central, views of well kept homes and business
establishments styled in "Paniolo" tradition are particularly evident.
2.6.2 From South on Mamalahoa Highway
Figure 2.6, containing 6 views, illustrates the visual sequence
one perceives approaching Waimea from the south on Mamalahoa Highway.
View 1, taken from a high point near the airport access road,
shows the openness of the view from this point. One is able to perceive
the entire form of Waimea in the distance, nestled in the foothills of
the Kohala Mountains. This is the only point from which the entire
town form can be perceived. Likewise, the most significant view of
Mauna Kea, is seen from this stretch of roadway to the distant right
across a broad expanse of treeless rangeland.
-7-
. • •
Views 2, 3, and 4 illustrate hedgerows of Eucalyptus trees
at intervals along both sides of road prior to entering the central
area. These trees offer significant contrast to the predominately
treeless grasslands one experiences prior to entering the urban area.
Views 5 and 6 illustrate entry into the central area of Waimea.
. Major tree masses do not exist near Mamalahoa between Lindsey Road and
the medical clinic site.
2.6.3 From West on Kawaihae Road
Figure 2.7, consisting of 7 views, illustrates the sequence as
one approaches Waimea from the west on Kawaihae Road.
View 1 offers sharp contrast to the initial views found in
the east and west approaches to Waimea in that it lacks significant
vegetation massing on either side of the road. Though not illustrated
by the photo, dramatic views of the rolling Kohala Mountain foothills
can be seen from the road to the left and views of both Mauna Kea and
Mauna Loa on the right in the distance. A series of more recently
constructed houses along the left side of the road give way to more
established homes and tree massings as one approaches the urban central
area.
Views 2 and 3 are perceived as one approaches Anna's Ranch and
Olohana properties and show increasing vegetation on the left side of
the road. The irregular intervals of Eucalyptus tree masses character-
istic of the other approaches are not evident. Colorful flowers and
intricate fence details in front of Anna's Ranch add interest to the
visual scene at this point.
Views 4 and 5 are typical of Kawaihae Road, which feature low
profile pines and Cypress as the dominant tree mass, instead of the
Eucalyptus typical of the other approaches. The roadway at this point
is marked by a combination of large well kept house lots, small enclosed
pastures, and the first of the commercial structures one views before
arriving at the urban center.
A large recreational park on the left and a smaller passive
park on the right are located at the intersection of Kawaihae Road and
Lindsey Road. A steady bend to the right onto Lindsey Road opens to
a dramatic vista of the Mauna Kea summit, framed in a V-shaped massing
of trees and illustrated in Views 6 and 7. Equally dramatic is the
view along Lindsey Road to the north, which affords the viewer a look
at the predominant puu's which form the backdrop to the Waimea Homestead
portion of Waimea.
2.6.4 General Comments
On all.: threeapproaches, overhead utilities onboth sides of
the road are noticeable. They are least offensive on Mamalahoa Highway
from the east where they often merge with large tree masses. A major
electrical transmission line was recently constructed on Kawaihae Road
which clutters the sequence of views along that route.
2.7 SPATIAL CHARACTER
The inherent nature of Waimea is its low density, spacious
quality, often referred to as "Paniolo" or "ranch" character. Space
flows through and around buildings out to dense groupings of trees,
-8-
• 411
and the foothills of the Kohala Mountains. Figure 1.2 illustrates this.
The spacious character of the residential sections of Waimea also owes
to the general lack of high screen fences.
The central area of Waimea has two distinct commercial elements
separated by Waikoloa Stream. These are the commercial strip fronting
Kawaihae Road between Opelu Road and Lindsey Street and the central area
commercial strip fronting Mamalahoa Highway between the Civic Center and
Waimea School.
The character of the Kawaihae Road area is spacious with groups
of structures set back uniformly from the frontage and separated by
significant areas of landscaped open space. With the exception of Waimea
Village Inn and an apartment structure, structures are one-story. This
character is different from the Mamalahoa Highway area.
The spatial character in the Central Area on Mamalahoa Highway
area varies as shown in the five views in Figure 2.8. In the commercial
section between Lindsey Road and the clinic site, buildings are single-
story scale and set back from the street. The buildings are punctuated
by access ways to parking and service areas. The low building profile
is visually closed to the south, while space on the north side is pre-
dominantly open. The open site development concepts adopted for the
Civic Center and the medical clinic together with the Church Square add
variety to the Central Area.
2.8 ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER
The prevalent architectural theme is the "Paniolo" style, a
kind of gingerbread or "decorated" ranch style of design that is unique
to Waimea. Examples of this style are shown in Figure 2.9. It is
characterized by wooden construction, gable and Hawaiian roof forms,
verandas, intricate balustrades and trim, panelled doors and windows
and patterned window shutters. Walls are usually red, ochre, or soft-
red hues; roofs are red; and trim and shutters are white. The Parker
Ranch head office just south of the Post Office is in this style.
Older structures in Waimea do not convey a particular
architectural heritage, although some of the design elements of the
"Paniolo" style can be seen in Figure 2.10, Examples of Older Buildings.
Recent residential structures vary in styles; however, there
is a noted trend toward use of natural materials such as wood finishes
and natural rock. This approach blends in with the "rural" setting and
does not conflict with the "Paniolo" style. Residential building forms
incorporate gable, Hawaiian and shed roof forms. Most recent housing
is no different than that being constructed elsewhere in the State.
Recent commercial buildings consist of conventional design
service stations, shed forms (the Waimea Village Inn) , the Hawaiian
roof-veranda form (Post Office building), and part-mansard roof forms
(Parker Ranch Shopping Center and the Civic Center buildings) .
The form of buildings in Waimea are of a residential scale
with the exception of Parker Ranch Shopping Center and a number of light
industrial buildings, both of which are inconsistent with other develop-
ment in Waimea.
-9-
411 411
2.9 LANDSCAPE FEATURES
The dominant tree type is Swamp Mahogany (Eucalyptus robusta) .
Secondary tree types are: Cypress, Acacia, Jacaranda, Silk Oak, Ironwood,
Pines, California Pepper, Norfolk Island Pine, and Redwoods.
The dominant form is strong, repetitive stands of Eucalyptus
running perpendicular to Kawaihae Road and, to a certain extent,
Mamalahoa Highway as shown in Figure 1.2. The trees run perpendicular
to the prevailing winds making agriculture possible and the urban area
habitable. The Eucalyptus has a strong visual impact on people travers-
ing Mamalahoa Highway, especially as one approaches Waimea from the East.
A cathedral or arching affect is achieved by the towering Eucalyptus
running in parallel rows immediately east of the town.
The secondary trees were planted individually or in groups as
a result of the personal initiative of Waimea residents. Outstanding
in this regard is the stand of Redwoods located near the Hawaiian Homes
Meeting Hall and the large stand of Eucalyptus growing near the town
center on Waikoloa Stream.
Individual tree statements occur within the urban area of
Waimea which are collectively a unifying urban element. For the most
part, trees growing in the Waimea area are exotic species; that is, they
were introduced to Hawaii. They were introduced as wind breaks and
survived because they were well suited to difficult conditions.
2.10 SIGNS
Ground signs based on individual design themes are prevalent.
They are usually located near the road frontage in a landscaping area.
Examples of these signs are shown in Figure 2.8, Views 2 and 3, and
Figure 2.9--Kamuela Office Center.
The sign structures are usually constructed from natural
materials. Very often they have roof forms or supporting wooden rails
above them. Structures are commonly 6 or 8 feet high and of similar
width.
The County of Hawaii Sign Ordinance permits different types of
signs in different use zones. They range in size from 400 sq. ft. wall
signs in commercial zones and roof signs in industrial zones, to 32 sq. ft.
signs in resort areas. Up to 5 signs can be displayed by a firm and
further signs can be placed within or on display windows. There is no
control over materials, color or general construction other than for
safety and lighting. Use of the present sign ordinance could result in
a proliferation of large bright signs in Waimea, which would be out of
character with existing signs.
The use of the ground sign in Waimea could have a significant
effect on spatial quality and architectural character because commercial
and industrial buildings will be designed and located to accommodate them.
This will make the ground sign an integral part of urban design rather
than an accessory.

' ® s
2,11 PUBLIC FACILITIES
The two completed buildings in the Waimea Civic Center are set
low on the site and lack visual prominence. The State Department of
Accounting and General Services did not envisage growth in Waimea when
it developed the design program for the Civic Center , although the site
is larger than required. The design of the facilities reflects this
as the proposed arrangement of buildings and roads do not allow ready
expansion. There appears to be no attempt to relate the layout to the
dramatic view of Mauna Kea to the South, shown in Figure 2.8, View 4.
The Waimea Elementary School cannot be expanded on the present
site. However, there is land adjacent to the school which could be used
to allow expansion of the school to ultimately provide for grades K-12.
A library is currently proposed adjoining the school site.
2.12 HISTORIC SITES
Imiola Church is the only historic site considered "valuable"
by the Hawaii Historic Places Review Board and it is on the National
Register of Historic Places.
Other buildings in Waimea which may have historic value are:
K. Fukushima Store
I. Oda Store
Puukalani House
Kamuela Hongwanji Mission
Former Edmund Bright House
Irene Ii-Brown Holloway House
Richard Smart House (Puopelu)
Parker Ranch Manager's House
E. Lindsey House
Court House
2.13 ROADS AND LIGHTING
Few roads are developed to County standards in Waimea. Recent
residential subdivisions have been installed to standards. Curbs, gutters,
and sidewalks have been installed on Mamalahoa Highway between Lindsey Road
and Parker Ranch Shopping Center, and on Lindsey Road from Mamalahoa
Highway to Kawaihae Road.
Standard street light fixtures have been attached to wood
posts along Mamalahoa Highway, Lindsey Road, and Kawaihae Road in commer-
cial areas to serve as street lights.
The construction of roads to rural standards--without curbs,
gutters and sidewalks, is a major aspect of the "Paniolo" or ranch
character of Waimea. Consequently, where there is a clear need for such
elements in all but the central commercial areas, their design could
incorporate rural appearance; for example, rolled curbs without sidewalks.
1Discussion with Robert Matsushita, Civic Center architect.
-11-
410 110
The County Subdivision Control Code permits considerable varia-
tion in the minimum rights-of-way and pavement widths for different types
of roads and streets designed for dedication. The minimum right-of-way
widths for "collector" and "minor" residential streets is particularly
wide, compared to the pavement widths required. A flexible approach will
be required in areas similar to Waimea Homesteads where further subdivision
development is anticipated.
Installation of curbs, gutters, sidewalks and street lights are
at the discretion of the County Council and to standards of the County
Department of Public Works.

3 URBAN DESIGN PLAN
3.1 INTENT
The intent of the Waimea Design Plan is to identify the unique
"Paniolo" and ranch heritage and environmental character of Waimea and
to provide recommendations which will ensure the preservation of this
heritage in the face of pressure for growth and change.
This study addresses major concerns expressed in 1973 by the
State Legislature in HRS Section 57-1 regarding the often detrimental
visual impact of new development; the infringement on historic sites and
buildings of significant architectural, cultural and historic value; and
the quality of the scenic landscape.
3.2 DESIGN CONTROL
3.2.1 Area of Control
The area of control recommended for Waimea is shown in Figure 3.1.
This has been designated a Special Design District (SDD) . Mandatory con-
trols and suggested guidelines within this area are recommended below.
Along with relevant County codes and standards they would directly control
and affect future development and subsequent design considerations.
It is recommended that specific controls be developed for the
commercial areas on Kawaihae Road and Mamalahoa Highway in order to main-
tain and reinforce their differing architectural and spatial qualities.
These specific controls would augment the recommended SDD guidelines. For
specific identification, this area has been designated as the Waimea Urban
Design District (UDD) combining two design subareas as shown in Figure 3.1,
UDD 1: Kawaihae Road Area, and UDD 2: Central Area.
3.2.2 Procedures
Urban Design review and approval procedures should be undertaken
by the County Planning Department for public and private planning proposals,
development applications, and building permits for all but single-family
detached residences, agricultural buildings, and permits for renovations.
Consideration for expansion of existing buildings which may have a marked
visual/design impact should be subject to review, as determined by the
Planning Director. Review should be based on adopted urban design controls,
goals, objectives, and guidelines of this Plan.
Review of the architectural character of detached single-family
residential and agricultural structures and renovations would be desirable.
However, because of their smaller scale (in the case of the single-family
residences) ; the general location (away from the urban village core) of
agricultural structures and uses; and the degree of visual/design impact
of renovations, a voluntary system of compliance would be more appropriate
and reasonable.
-13-
. • •
To aid in the review process, a broad-based local community asso-
ciation such as the Waimea-Kawaihae Community Association should be used.
A committee of the Association should be developed and used to continually
advise the Planning Department. and other County agencies in implementing
and/or recommending any amendments to this Plan. This committee should be
a manageable size, as determined by the Association; but it should be of
such size to reflect at least the following:
1. One (1) resident each from the east, central, and west
side of the Special Design District.
2. One (1) each from the following business and/or special

3.4 LAND USE
1. The land use concept in Figure 3.2 should form the basis
for the Waimea Design Plan. This concept proposes distribu-
tion of land uses and circulation based on the County
General Plan and Waimea Design Plan goals and objectives.
2. The following guidelines shall be applicable to all proposed
developments, except detached single-family residences,
agricultural buildings, and minor renovations within the
Urban Design District (UDD) .
a. Sideyard setbacks and the height of new structures
and/or expansion of existing structures in commercial
and industrial area shall take into account the surround-
ing property, existing private and public improvements,
community characteristics, natural features, and the
size of the parcel being developed. It is recognized
that smaller parcels have less room for alternate site
planning than larger parcels; thus, some measure of
"hardship" consideration for smaller parcels should be
given.
b. To the extent practicable, the location or siting of
all structures and improvements should:
(1) Not hinder existing and prospective traffic move-
ments;
(2) Provide landscaping as called for in this Plan;
and
(3) Within reasonable limits, preserve natural features
(if any) of community value.
c. Multi-family uses shall be discouraged from commercial
zoning categories.
d. Off-street parking and loading requirements should be
provided in locations that are not visible from street
and in a manner consistent with ready accessibility
and visibility to police patrol. Parking in front of
buildings should not be encouraged but site planning
flexibility must be allowed through the use of land-
scaping and screening elements to minimize visual
impacts of parking.
3.5 CIRCULATION
1. The primary traffic circulation system should be in
accordance with Figure 3.2, Land Use Concept, and
Figure 3.3, Central Area Concept. Major objectives
are:
a. Extend Lindsey Road to the proposed by-pass highway.
b. Extend Mena Road to the proposed by-pass highway.
c. Improve the intersection of Mamalahoa Highway and
Mena Road.
-16-
L410
d. Connect Kohala Mountain Road to Mamalahoa Highway
near the by-pass highway (future) .
e. Construct a new proposed roadway between Lindsey Road
extension and Kamamalu Road.
f. Extend Church Road and construct a bridge at Waikoloa
Stream for access to the proposed Kohala Mountain Park.
g. Improve the existing Kawaihae Road, Lindsey Road, and
Mamalahoa Highway in the central area..
h. Improve Mamalahoa Highway in the Central Area (UDD 2) .
2. A primary pedestrian/equestrian/bikeway circulation system
should be developed using as a guide Figure 3,2. An
implementation program to further define specific routes,
improvement alternatives, and phasing priorities shall be.
prepared prior to development of the system. The imple-
mentation program should consider the major concepts of
the pedestrian/equestrian/bikeway circulation system which
are to:
a. Develop a pedestrian/equestrian/bikeway path along
Waikoloa Stream from the proposed Kohala Mountain
Park to the proposed Lalamilo Park and residential
area.
b. Develop a pedestrian/equestrian system within the
Central Area (UDD 2) as shown in Figure 3.4.
c. As appropriate, develop pedestrian improvements in
conjunction with roadway improvements for Kawaihae
Road, Mamalahoa Highway, Lindsey Road and other pro-
posed roads shown around the Central Area that inte-
grate and are compatible with the overall pedestrial
system.
d. Develop a pedestrian/equestrian/bikeway path linking
the Central Area to existing and proposed residential
development.
The equestrian system should focus on the corral at
the Central Area. Certain areas should be identified
for the tethering of horses throughout the equestrian
system.
The equestrian system should be designed to permit
eventual extension makai to proposed developments
including Waikoloa.
e. Develop a pedestrian/equestrian/bikeway system which
will reflect a combined, coordinated effort between
private landowners and County and State agencies.
3. Off-street parking and loading requirements should bein
accordance with the provisions of the Zoning Code and in
locations that are:
a. Not visible from streets and not between site and
building frontages.
-17-
A
•
b. Parking in the proposed Central Area (UDD 2) should
be provided in nodes accessible from the perimeter
road system and not traversing the entire area. The
present parking arrangement at Parker Ranch Shopping
Center should be modified to meet this recommendation.
3.6 DESIGN THEME
Objectives for architectural styles, materials and finish
exteriors are as follows:
3.6.1 Design Theme Objectives
1. Encourage the "Paniolo" architectural style. Structures
built with "natural" materials or finished in "natural"
colors described in this section are acceptable.
2. Encourage the "Paniolo" architectural style for agricul-
tural buildings to make them part of a consistent design
theme adopted for all buildings on individual farm lots.
3. Encourage the construction of industrial buildings with
natural materials finished in natural colors. Larger
industrial buildings in excess of 20,000 sq. ft. should
be designed to minimize visual mass and bulk by variation
of long facades and form, or breakup into separate buildings.
4. Incorporate the "Paniolo" theme in future public
buildings with the exception of future Civic Center
buildings at the north end of the Central Area,
which should continue in the existing architectural
style. The Civic Center plan should be modified
based on a concept which readily permits growth.
5. Encourage preservation and identification of the
buildings listed as primary examples of the "Paniolo"
style of architecture. All renovation or reconstruc-
tion work of the above buildings should consider the
retention of existing building style, form, and
character whenever possible.

4. Timber construction.
5. Intricate posts and veranda trim, finished in white.
6. Panelled doors and windows finished in white or pale colors.
7. Patterned window shutters finished in white.
8. Corrugated, galvanized sheet iron roofing finished in red
or ochre.
Examples of the "Paniolo" style are shown in Figure 2.9.
3.6.3 Materials and Colors
"Natural" materials are those which are complementary to the
natural environment.
1. "Natural" materials and finishes should be used for all
buildings and include:
Wood: Unfinished or stained and painted in earth
colors. Bright color accents are permitted.
Concrete: Natural and earth-colored textured split-
lace concrete blocks or poured in place.
Rock: Lava or other natural or artificially-
constructed stones.
Tiles: Earth colored clay, ceramic or concrete
roofing, wall and floor tiles.
Metal: Copper. Galvanized sheet iron painted in
earth colors or with textured earth color
finishes Core-10 rusting steel. Aluminum
in earth colors.
Materials which are highly reflective, brightly colored,
or plastic and artificial imitations of natural products
should not be used.
2. Colors
Natural or earthtone colors such as dark or olive green,
raw umber, terra cotta, sienna brown, sepia or slate gray
should be used on exterior surfaces of buildings or struc-
tures. Stains are encouraged and painted surfaces should
be light absorbing whenever possible. High gloss or
reflective finishes should be discouraged. Other colors
can be used for framing or trim provided that they do not
exceed 5% of the exposed surface. Mosaics, sculpture and
murals should be exempt from the color regulations upon
review.
3.6.4 Fences
The use of typical post and rail fences left natural or painted
white should be encouraged where fences are proposed. Stone walls as
fences are also encouraged.
High screen fences should be constructed with a natural appearance
in commercial and industrial areas where security or visual screening is
desired.

3.7 LANDSCAPING
3.7.1 Landscape Concept
1. Major and secondary tree masses should be designated
throughout Waimea in accordance with the following
objectives:
a. Reinforce and extend tree masses along west and
south approaches on Kawaihae Road and Mamalahoa
Highway.
b. Plant extensive tree planting in the Central Area.
c. Incorporate where possible the existing lineal
windbreak patterns in new developments.
d. Preserve major existing views, particularly those
toward Mauna Kea and the Kohala Mountains.
e. Continue the use of Swamp Mahogany (Eucalyptus
robusta) along Waikoloa Stream.
f. Require extensive tree planting in industrial areas.
g. The use of colorful shrubs and flowers should be
incorporated near focal points on all three approaches
to Waimea-Kamuela.
Recommended trees and shrubs to implement the landscaping
concept are identified in Table 1. The location and types
of trees should be identified in a Master Street Tree Plan.

residential areas.
Type 2 Residential areas.
3.8.3 Number of Signs
Ground Signs: One per road frontage; plus one per site frontage
at Central Area trail system.
Any two signs per business or occupant per site frontage should
be permitted.
3.8.4 Sign Design
1. Signs should be designed as independent units or panels and
not as lettering applied to an existing surface.
2. Signs should not incorporate shiny surfaces such as plastic
or reflective metal. Wood, stone, canvas or non-reflective
metals are recommended.
-22-
110
3. Irridescent and extensive areas of bright color should not
be permitted.
4. Internal lighting should light only letters or symbols and
not the sign unit. Flashing lights should not be permitted.
5. Signs should be stationary.
3.8.5 Ground Signs
The intent is to encourage the use of ground signs in commercial,
institutional, public, and industrial projects. Sign structures should
not exceed the height of the building fascia, or 10 ft. , whichever is less.
The Planning Director should be permitted to waive the sizes
of the structure and/or sign where unusual conditions require a larger
structure and/or sign, and the proposed sign design is in keeping with
the intent of the design theme.
Examples of typical ground signs in Waimea are shown in Figure 3.5.
3.8.6 Non-Conforming Signs
Existing signs which do not conform with the Waimea Design Plan
should be phased out over a period of five years and replaced with appro-
priate conforming signs.
3.8.7 County Signs
1. Street and directional signs which are in character with the
theme of Waimea should be designed in conformance with the
standards listed in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices.
2. Entry Signs identifying Waimea should be constructed of wood"
in character with. the "Paniolo" theme and provided at each
of the approaches to Waimea. Location of these signs should
be strategically placed on Mamalahoa Highway east and south
approaches, and Kawaihae Road and Kohala Mountain Road.
3.9 STREETS AND LIGHTING
Current County standards for streets and lighting should be
reviewed to permit compliance with Waimea Design Plan objectives.
Standards for safety and public convenience would continue to
be observed; however, desired flexibility should be given for design
consideration.
Major objectives are:
1. Design major and minor roadways on a system of straight
alignments or where appropriate, curvilinear layouts.
2. Do notrequire curbs, gutters, and sidewalks in rural
collector and minor streets, and cul-de-sacs where drainage'
and/or pedestrian traffic can be adequately handled by
either natural landscaped or asphalt swales. '
-23-
3. Where possible, light standards should be distinctive in
character and constructed of materials which complement
the natural environment of Waimea as illustrated in
Figure 3.6.
4. The scale of light standards and intensity of illumination
should relate to the type of street and adjacent land use.
Upward reflection should be minimized.
5. Develop a detailed street lighting plan and design criteria
that will be consistent with the objectives of the design
plan.
3.10 OVERHEAD UTILITIES
Major objectives are:
1. Where appropriate, encourage underground utilities for
new developments.
2. Develop an underground relocation schedule for all existing
overhead local distribution lines for electricity, telephone
and cable TV.
3. Upgrade the three major approach roads to Waimea.
4. Relocate major regional overhead distribution lines for
electricity and telephone services well away from the three
major approaches to Waimea.
5. Undertake an alignment feasibility study for location of
major overhead utilities in order to select the alignment
which would be within existing rights of way. Consideration
should be given to the recommendation of separate easements,
in accordance with Figure 3.7, Overhead Utilities Alignment
Concept.
A method of implementation might be by improvement district basis
whereby each individual landowner could be assessed on the basis of street
frontage.
A form of tax credit benefit to the participant in the improvement
district could be developed as an incentive.

4 IMPLEMENTATION
4.1 ACTION
The implementation of urban design proposals will require action
by both private and public sectors.
The following key actions are required by the community, major
landowners, and the County in order to ensure development of Waimea in
accordance with the Waimea Design Plan.
1. Public review and general support for the proposed Waimea
Design Plan (WDP) .
2. County adoption of the proposed design plan together with
the phased and coordinated implementation of projects.
3. County supported request for modification of the urban
boundary by the State Land Use Commission in accordance
with the Waimea Design Plan.
4. Ongoing review by the County and community of projects
proposed by private and public sectors which are in accor-
dance with the Waimea Design Plan.
5. Timely agreement between the County and private landowners
on acquisition and development of key properties for public
use.
4.2 PHASING
The proposed Urban Design Concept is relatively flexible and
can be structured to meet both government and private sector limitations.
These limitations will dwell essentially in the Plan.
The scheduling of the various priority items recommended in the
Plan into the County CIP program would depend on the ability of the County
to provide these funds specifically for Waimea. Assessment of the priorities
established by the Plan against a County-wide basis of need is a process
that must also be taken into consideration since funds availability are
always a prime consideration.
Exploration into the availability of funds from sources outside
the County should be seriously considered and these could be from General
Revenue Sharing, Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development
through the newly established Community Development Block Grant program.
Through fund sources such as these, the successful cost sharing
of government money and private sectors participation on an assessed
improvement value basis can be achieved. The improvements that could be
implemented under this cooperative method of cost sharing would be the
improved street circulation patterns and street improvements, pedestrian/
equestrian and bikeway paths, and drainage improvements, and certain
street furniture considered unique to Waimea and the immediate area.
The following phasing program is provided to indicate the
priorities considered essential to implement the Waimea Design Plan.
Each phase is based on a time to request funds from local and Federal
sources and also to coordinate with the applicable private sector pasties
who would gain the immediate benefits from the proposed improvements..
