The purpose of this bill is to amend Section 25-87, Article 3,

Limited Industrial 3-acre (ML-3a ) and General Industrial 3-acre
(MG-3a ).
The subject property is located along the makai side of the Queen
Kaahumanu Highway, adjacent to the Keahole Airport and the Natural
Energy Laboratory of Hawaii .(NELH ).
The High Technology Development Corporation (HTDC) was created by the
1983 State Legislature to demonstrate Hawaii 's commitment to the
development of high technology enterprises . It is empowered to
develop and administer industrial parks for high technology use and
to issue special purpose industrial revenue bonds to finance their
construction.
HTDC is proposing the development of an ocean science and technology
park . The Hawaii Ocean Science and Technology (HOST ) Park will be an
industrial subdivision consisting of twenty-five 3-acre lots and
sixteen lots of 20 acres or more in size .
HTDC will provide certain subdivision improvements, including access
roads , roadway lighting, cold and warm ocean water systems , potable
water and electrical services . At the present time, HTDC does not
intend to dedicate the roadway to the County. •
The HOST Park is projected to open in late October, 1986.

The General Plan designates the area for industrial uses . The strip
of land along the Queen Kaahumanu Highway to be retained within the
Open (0) district is designated Conservation. The reason for this
designation is to provide a landscape and open space buffer between
the highway and the industrial park .
The subject property is designated Urban by the Land Use Commission.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose
of Bill No. 216 and recommends that it pass first reading.
