• High-level groundwater recharge area which shall initially be defined as all lands mauka

• Enhanced Shoreline Setback(see Policy LU-1.5).
Any permit application that encompasses any of the above resources [should] shall
incorporate these resources as assets. If a proposed project will have significant,
unavoidable, adverse impacts to any of the above resources, the presumption shall be denial
of the application and the applicant will have the burden of explaining any overriding
considerations. The presence of any of these resources shall qualify for density transfers
through a planned unit development based on potential gross density allowed by the
prevailing zoning. The protection or restoration of any of these resources should qualify for
funding from the Kona Treasures Fund (see Policy ENV-3.3)."
