Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members:
Change of Zone Ordinance No. 684, (As Amended by Ordinances
No. 90-83 and 95-12) (REZ 388)
Applicant: Lanihau Partners, L.P.
Request: Deletion of Condition E
Tax Map Key: 7-5-04:7. 55 & 56
The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on June 4, 1999, voted to
recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to amend Condition E (commence
and complete construction of Phase II) of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 684, as amended by
Ordinance No. 90-83 and 95-12, which changed the district classification of approximately
25.783 acres of land from a Agricultural (A-la) to General Commercial (CG-20) zoned
district. The amendment is to delete Condition E in its entirety. The property is located at the
southwest corner of the intersection of Queen Kaahumanu Highway and Henry Street, Lanihau
2nd and Maeauoa 2nd, North Kona, Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending
favorable consideration of the request:
The purpose of this request is to amend the performance requirements of
Ordinance No. 684, as amended by Ordinance Nos. 90-83 and 95-12, to delete
Condition E in its entirety.
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 2
On August 6, 1991, the Planning Director determined that the construction of
Henry Street is intimately tied to Phase II, and would satisfy the construction timetable
requirements of Condition E, relating to the commencement of construction of Phase II
of the Lanihau Shopping Center.
On February 15, 1994, the construction of Henry Street was completed and
dedicated to the County of Hawaii.
The applicant's letter of April 12, 1999, states that the deletion of Condition E
is being sought to recognize that the construction and completion of Henry Street
between Kuakini Highway and Queen Kaahumanu Highway Extension satisfies the
requirements of Condition E (construction of Phase II of the Lanihau Shopping
Center).
In adopting Ordinance No. 864, the primary concern was the impacts of the
25+ acres shopping center expansion on the traffic conditions in Kailua-Kona. In
order to address this concern, a condition was placed on the applicant requiring the
construction of Henry Street, on the southern boundary of the project azea, between
Kuakini Highway and Queen Kaahumanu Highway Extension (Condition H).
The applicant agreed to this condition with the understanding that the
construction of Henry Street was integral with the construction of Phase II.
Condition H does not set forth a timetable for the construction and opening of Henry
Street. However, in order to comply with Condition E, relating to commencement of
construction of Phase II, Lanihau proceeded with the construction of Henry Street at a
cost of over $6.3 million and the dedication of over three acres of commercially zoned
land. The construction of Henry Street was completed and dedicated to the County of
Hawaii. Henry Street is a four lane boulevard with curbs, gutters, sidewalks with
planted strips, raised and landscaped median, turning lanes, underground storm drain
lines, a flood holding basin, and traffic light standards. In addition, the primary access
to the site from Henry Street has been constructed and dedicated to the County of
Hawaii.
The proposed amendment would be consistent with the Land Use Element of the
General Plan. Land use is one of the principal focal points of public concern and
policy. The Land Use Element provides the primazy basis for direct control and
guidance of publicly and privately owned resources. It is also intended to be used as a
policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all sectors of the County.
It sets forth goals, policies, standards and courses of action to accommodate growth
without congestion, to designate and preserve the lands needed for residential use,
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 3
commercial and visitor services, industry, agriculture and open space, and to
coordinate these uses with the County's service and circulation systems. The overall
Land Use goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands in the
County in the best interest of the island's residents. These state the following:
Land Use Element
* Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in
keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County.
* Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or
projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County.
* The County shall encourage the development and maintenance of communities
meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social
environment.
* Zoning request shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation,
district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with
adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access and
public need.
The proposed request would also complement the following goals and policies
of the Commercial Element.
Commercial Development
* Provide for commercial developments that maximize convenience to users.
* Provide commercial developments that complement the overall pattern of
transportation and land usage within the island's regions, communities and
neighborhoods.
* Commercial facilities shall be developed in areas adequately served by
necessary services, such as water, utilities, sewers and transportation systems.
* Distribution of commercial areas shall be such as to best meet the demands of
neighborhood, community and regional needs.
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 4
* The development of commercial facilities should be designed to fit into the
locale with minimal intrusion while providing the desired services. Appropriate
infrastructure and design concerns shall be incorporated into the review of such
developments.
* Applicable ordinances shall be reviewed and amended as necessary to include
considerations for urban design, aesthetic quality and the protection of amenities
in adjacent areas through landscaping, open space and buffer areas.
The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the
General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the
coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of
the physical relationship among the vazious land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes
the basic urban and non-urban form for areas within the County. The project area is
designated High Density Urban Development, which allows for commercial, multiple
residential and related services (general and office commercial; multiple residential - up
to 87 units per acre). This commercial development area will provide the framework
of a concentration of urban activities occurring in an orderly manner commensurate
with the provision of necessary infrastructure. Therefore, it is determined that the
request is consistent with the High Density Urban Development form depicted on the
LUPAG Map for this area of North Kona.
The request is consistent with the following goals and policies of the Economic
Element of the General Plan:
Economic
* Economic development and improvement shall be in balance with the physical
and social environments of the island of Hawaii.
* The County of Hawaii shall strive for diversity and stability in its economic
system.
* The County shall provide an economic environment which allows new,
expanded, or improved economic opportunities that are compatible with the
County's natural and social environment.
* The County of Hawaii shall strive for diversification of its economy by
strengthening existing industries and attracting new endeavors.
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council

The Phase II site is an appropriate location for a regional shopping center, due
to its proximity to other commercial developments, and the site is served by adequate
infrastructure to support the expanded use. In order to ensure that this project continue
to serve the needs of the community, that it continues to fit into the changing locale
with minimal intrusion, and that it complies with the current standazds for urban design
and open space, the request would allow the applicant to press forwazd for financing
and leasing of the Phase II area and to incrementally develop the project to the best
advantage of the site.
In addition, the use of the land has not changed and the construction of the
development is essentially the same as the one they proposed in 1980. The deletion of
Condition E in its entirety would allow the applicant the flexibility to develop the
project in a way that best meets the needs of the landowner, developer and the
community as market and economic conditions allow. It would also ensure that
infrastructure be provided commensurate with the impacts being generated by the
project in a way that is fair to both the County and the landowner.
Based on the above, the accompanying draft bill to amend Condition E and
realphabetize the remaining conditions of Ordinance No. 684, as amended by Ordinance
Nos. 90-83 and 95-12, is provided for your favorable consideration. (Material to be deleted is
bracketed. New material is underscored.)
For your favorable consideration, a draft bill to amend Condition E and realphabetize the
remaining conditions of Ordinance No. 684, as amended by Ordinance Nos. 90-83 and 95-12
is transmitted.

We aze submitting this letter to request an amendment of certain conditions contained
within Ordinance No. 684 as amended by Ordinance Nos. 90-83 and 95-12. The primary
purpose of this request is to acknowledge that with the completion of construction and
dedication of Henry Street, between Kuakini Highway and Queen Kaahumanu Highway
Extension, that the developer has satisfied all the development deadline requirements for this
change of zone.
The property, which was reclassified from Agricultural 1-acre (A-la) to General
Commercial-20,000 square foot (CG-20), consisted at that time of 25.783 acres and is owned
by KKI, Inc. This land is leased to Lanihau Partners L.P. and subleased to Lanihau Center
Venture who is the developer of the Lanihau Center Project. The subject property is located
primarily on the north side of Henry Street between Kuakini Highway and Queen Kaahumanu
Highway Extension at Lanihau 2"° and Moeauoa 2°°, Kailua-Kona, North Kona, Hawaii Island
(TMK: 7-5-04: 07, 55 and 56). Due to the subsequent construction and dedication of Henry
Street, the combined TMKs now comprise a total of 21.549 acres.
The subject property is part of the Lanihau Center Complex. The Phase I of the
complex, which is situated on 14.636 acres of land immediate to the north of the subject
property, was reclassified from Agricultural (A-la) to General Commercial (CG-20) pursuant
to Ordinance No. 566. This portion of the Lanihau Center complex was completed
in 1986 and is anchored by Longs Drugs and Sack `n Save grocery story.

Request:
That the County recognize the completion of the Henry Street improvements, between
Kuakini Highway and Queen Kaahumanu Highway Extension, as satisfying the requirements for
the completion of construction of Phase II of the Lanihau Shopping Center. More specifically,
Lanihau Partners L.P. is requested that Condition E be deleted in its entirety.
Justification:
In adopting Ordinance No. 864, the primary concerrt was the impacts of this 25+ acre
shopping center expansion on the traffic conditions in Kailua-Kona. In order to address this
concern, a condition was placed on the applicant requiring the construction of Henry Street, on
the southern boundary of the project area, between Kuakini Highway and Queen Kaahumanu
Highway Extension (Condition H.)
The applicant agreed to this condition with the understanding that the construction of
Henry Street was integral with the construction of Phase II. In fact, Condition H does not set
forth a timetable for the construction and opening of Henry Street. However, in order to comply
with Condition E, related to commencement of construction of Phase II, Lanihau proceeded with
the construction of Henry Street at a cost of over $3,400,000 and the dedication of over three
acres of commercially zoned land.
Concurrent with the completion of Henry Street, Lanihau Center Venture, the
Lessee/developer entity for the project, was continuing to press forward to arrange financing and
leasing of the Phase II azea. However, during this time, the commercial real estate market
changed with the explosion of new retail space in Kona, led by the entry of several "Box Stores",
including Costco in 1991, K-Mart in 1994 and Wal-Mart in 1995. This severely impacted both
lender and investor confidence in the opening of new commercial areas.
By mid-1995, with financing proving to be very difficult to secure and after several
extensions related to the wnstruction of facilities, the Phase II anchor tenant, Liberty House,
exercised its option to terminate the lease in order to pursue other possible alternative sites. With
Liberty House's departure, the building /retail component of Phase II became exceedingly difficult
to pursue without another anchor tenant.
Accordingly, Lanihau Partners L.P. is continuing to work with Lanihau Center Venture in
implementing an incremental, mixed use commercial development that will take best advantage of
the site, the zoning and the opportunities in the Kailua Village.

In the meantime, Henry Street and the private driveway connection between Lanihau
Shopping Center Phase I provides a critical link in the overall circulation network in the Kailua
Village area. This roadway was provided in advance of any impacts related to the development of
the site at a tremendous cost to the project's developer.
Based on the above, Lanihau Partners L.P. is requesting that the construction of Henry
Street be recognized as satisfying the requirements for the completion of construction of Phase II
of Lanihau Center. in this way, the community will continue to benefit from the construction of
Henry Street and Lanihau Center will have the flexibility to develop in a way that best meets the
needs of the landowner, developer and community as market and economic conditions allow.

Dear Mr. Hayashi:
RE: Rezoning Orcli_nancs No. 684
Lanihau Ceni;er Venture
TMK: 7-5-4: Portion of 7
Thank you for your letter of Juns 17, 1991, regarding the
subject matter.
You will note that the isscr~a of that letter and our letter
of May 30, 1391, revolved aroului tts definition of start of
construction of Phase II as outlined in Condition E; of the
subject ordinance. its request~acl an interpretation '=hat the
construction o! Henry Street yrauld fulii2l that condition.
Based upon information we prcvided your office and otter
!actors, you concluded otherria~a.
We 'believe that the information we provided your office
was rrot complete, and that could. haves had a material impact on
your conclusion. Thus, after reviewing this letter, we
respectfully request your racon:atderation of this matter.
We provide you with the following additional infcrmation:
1. Phase I of this pro~e<:t: was zoned in 1967 a~. part of
the CZO update. Th s area has been fully developed.
2. The 25+ acre area cav~~red by the subject rezoning
ordinance involves A~ of Phase II. This area was
not: conditioned to bo •3eveloped in ircremerts.
Part and parcel of ite~ dev.alopment, however, was t;he
construction of Henry Street. Thus, Co~idition H
C „~c+~-9 1 M U IJ 03 2 GSM ~•R P 133
Mr. Norman Hayashi, Director

Page 2
relating to the construction of Henry Street did r.~ot
ind.icats any eonstrue!:ion timetable, such as prior
to the star: of construction of Phase II or issuance
of occupancy permit, etc. of Pt:ase II. It was
always our understan~9inq that Henry Street and the
car:struction of the retail center were one and the
same. E:;sentially, they have a "symbiotic"
construction relations=hip. qne co•ild not exist
without the other - 'that is, the retail canter in
Ph use II could not operate without Henry Street;
likewise, Henry Street could not be Pt?nded without a
development commitment for Phase II.
3, Plans for the retai]. center could not have been
finalized earlier bcac;ause of the absence of a
department store coawcitment. We 'now have that
commitment with Liberty House. we are thus ire a
pa:sition to prepare plans of the buildings ~or
submittal to your olfice for Plan Approval.
4. On the other hand, p]:acns for Henry Street could be
prepared and finalized; and that has besn done.
Because of the "symbiotic" construction relationship
noted above, ws are now in a position to finalize
our financing of this project and begin construction
beaore the September 1991 construction deadline.
however, without as:nuances that the ne~? retail
center can be consti~ttcted, our funding for Henry
street would bs placed in jeopardy.
In a sense, this wau:~d be analogou:~ to getting a
construction loan far a water tank needed for a
proposed subdivision. The loan would not b3 prudent
i! the loan applicant cannot have assurances to
proceed with its proposed subdivision.
5. Finally, Harry Stree: is needed to accommodate the
construction traffic of the n~3w retail center. It
has been our plan to have the construction traffic
to the new center be directed through this street
rather than through i:tce existing Phase I area.
At this point in cur time, we expect Henry Street to
be completed before 2[ay 1992. Site work for the
balance of the cent~ar is expecteci to begin in
February or March 1992. The centeY should be

completed wuthin the 3-year construction timetable -
5eptember 1li94.
In view of the foregoing, we telieve and submit to you
that the ronstruction of Henry Street is int:tmately tied in to
the construction of the retail ceanter in Phase II. Each cannot
reali3tic.~lly occur without the other, from both a fun-Sing and
planning per.:pective.
We apolclgize for not providing you with the f ~regoing
infonna¢ion +.o your office earlier. Ws trust and hope,
howevr~r, 'that with the added information you wo~.xld be able to
recon~ide's your earlier position on this matter.

The subject property is part of the Lanihau Center Complex. The Phase I of the

Request:
That the County recognize the completion of the Henry Street improvements, between
Kuakini Highway and Queen Kaahumanu Highway Extension, as satisfying the requirements for
the completion of construction of Phase II of the Lanihau Shopping Center. More specifically,
Lanihau Partners LP. is requested that Condition E be deleted in its entirety.
Justification:
In adopting Ordinance No. 864, the primary content was the impacts of this 25+ acre
shopping center expansion on the traffic conditions in Kailas-Kona. In order to address this
concern, a condition was placed on the applicant requiring the construction of Henry Street, on
the southern boundary ofthe project area, between Kuakini highway and Queen Kaahumanu
Highway Extensi~ (Condition H.)
The applicant agreed to this condition with the understanding that the construction of
Henry Street was integral with the construction of Phase II. In fact, Condition H does sot set
forth a timetable for the construction and opening of Henry Street. However, in order to comply
with Condition E, related to commenceatent of construction of Phase II, Lanihau proceeded with
the constnuction ofHeary Street at a cost of over 53,400,000 and the dedication of over three
acres of wauoercially zoned hard
Concutmnt with the completion of Heny Street, Lanihau Center Vemure, the
Lessee/developer entity for the project, was continuing to press forward to arrange financing and
leasing of the Phase II area. However, during this time, the commercial real estate market
changed with the explosion of new retail space in Rona, led by the entry of several "Box Stores",
including Costw in 1991, K-Mart in 1994 and Wal-Mart in 1995. This severely impacted both
leader and imeator co~dence in the opening of new commercial areas.
By mid-1995, with financing proving to be very difficuh to secure and after several
extensions related to the wttstruction of facilities, the Phase II anchor tenant, Liberty House,
exercised its option to terminate the lease in order to pursue other possible alternative sites. With
LOterty House's departure, the building /retail component of Phase II became exceedingly difficult
to pursue without another anchor tenant.
Accordingly, Lamhatt Partners L.P. is continuing to work with Lanihau Center Venture in
implementing an inaanental, mixed use commercial development that will take best advantage of
the site, the inning and the opportunities in the Kailas Village.

In the meantime, Henry Street and the private driveway connection between Lanihau
Shopping Center Phase I provides a critical link in the overall circulation network in the IZailua
Wi age azea. This roadway was provided in advance of any impacts related to the development of
the site at a tremendous cost to the project's developer.
Based on the above, Lanihau Partners L.P. is requesting that the construction of Henry
Street be recognized as satisfying the requiremalta for the completion of construction of Phase II
ofLaw77au Center. In this way, the community will wntinue to benefit from the construction of
Hoary Street and Lanihau Center will have the flextbiGty to develop in a way that best meets the
needs of the landowner, developer and community as market and economic conditions allow.
Please call me if you have any questions or require any additional information
regarding this request.
Sincerely,
LAN.~IAU PARTNERS L.P.
