bedroom Bed and Breakfast in an existing residence situated on a 14,530 square foot lot within the
State Land Use Urban District. The subject property is located at 78-6626 Alii Drive,
approximately 0.5 miles south of the La`aloa Road intersection, Kahalu`u Breach Lots, North
Kona District, Hawaii Island, TMK: (3) 7-8-014: 076
APPLICANTS' REQUEST
1. Proposed Use: The applicant is requesting to operate a four-room bed and breakfast in the
residence on the subject property.The home consists of five bedrooms and five bathrooms,
one ofwhich will be used for a full-time on-site caretaker. The proposed bed and breakfast
will provide overnight accommodations to a maximum of ten (10) guests in four (4)
bedrooms, for a period of less than thirty days. Breakfast may be provided to registered
guests only; no other meals will be provided. Paved parking will include a 3-car garage
and two (2)paved parking spaces located on the property. No exterior signage is proposed.
The full-time caretaker will reside onsite in the room at the south end of the house on the
lower level.
2. Reason for the Request: The applicant states that alternative visitor experiences are in

have a substantial adverse effect on the SMA (Planning Department Exhibit 2 — April
14,2020 Letter).
5. Landowner: Arthur H. Arejian Trust
STATE AND COUNTY PLANS
6. State Land Use District: Urban
7. County Zoning: Single-Family Residential-7,500 square feet; RS-7.5
8. General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG): Open
9.Kona Community Development Plan (KCDP): The KCDP was adopted by Ordinance
No. 08-131, which became effective on September 25, 2008. The property is within the
boundary of the Kona Urban Area.
10. Special Management Area(SMA): The subject property is adjacent to the shoreline and
within the Special Management Area.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREAS
11. Description of Property:The 14,530 square foot subject parcel is located makai(seaward)
of Ali'i Drive, approximately 0.5 mile south of its intersection with La'aloa Avenue. The
subject parcel is generally rectangular in shape with the shoreline on the western boundary
and has been used residentially for approximately 40 years. The shoreline adjacent to the
subject parcel is rocky and generally rough with small pockets of seasonal sand that infill
depressions in the lava rock. The majority of the subject parcel is developed with the
residential structure,parking, pool, and residential landscaping.
12. Surrounding Zoning/Land Uses:The zoning of the subject property and the surrounding
properties is Single-Family Residential (RS-7.5). There are larger undeveloped parcels
with single and multi-family residential zoning to the east,mauka of Ali'i Drive. Kahalu`u
Bay and the Kahalu`u Resort Node are approximately 0.4 miles south of the subject parcel.
13. Flood Zone: The project site is located within Zone VE (coastal flood zone).The property
is located within the Tsunami Evacuation Zone and is covered by a warning siren located
at Kahalu`u Beach Park.
14. Flora/Faunal Resources: Although there was no formal survey conducted of the floral
and faunal resources of the site, the applicants do not believe that rare or endangered floral
or faunal resources are likely to be found within or proximate to the subject site as this area
has been cleared and used residentially for many years. Vegetation found in the project
2-
area consists primarily of typical coastal landscape plants including coconut and fan palms,
plumeria, octopus tree, bananas and hibiscus. Due to the largely urban nature of the
surrounding area, it is unlikely that native birds would frequent the area or the subject
property. All proposed activities will occur on previously cleared areas so impacts to native
flora and fauna are expected to be minimal. Further, no uses or activities are proposed in
the minimum 40-foot shoreline setback area. In addition, introduced bird species (such as
dove, house sparrow, house finch, saffron finch, Japanese White-eye, myna) are common
in this area. Domestic animals such as cats and dogs, and other animals like rats and
mongoose are also common.
15. Archaeological/Cultural/Historical Resources: The subject property is adjacent to the
shoreline; however, no actions are proposed within the shoreline setback area and no
changes to the shoreline access will occur. Additionally, no ground disturbance will occur
with only minor improvements (i.e., bike rack) taking place outside of the structure's
existing footprint. The proposed use will utilize an existing home as a bed and breakfast
for visitor accommodations. The shoreline fronting the subject parcel is rocky and rough.
Kahalu`u Bay,which is a popular shoreline recreation area and beach park is approximately
1/2 mile south of the subject parcel. There is no indication that the subject property or
immediate surrounding area have been used by Native Hawaiians for gathering or other
purposes, and no known archeological or cultural features have ever been discovered.
16. Public Access: There is an existing established shoreline public access route along the
southern boundary of the subject property. This access is listed by the County as"Kahalu`u
Beach Lots Subdivision", described as Rocky shoreline and tidal ponds; Fishing; Limited
parking along Ali'i Drive; No facilities; Hazardous footing, currents and waves. The
proposed use will not impact the established public access along the southern property
boundary. Under the proposed use the public access would be maintained clear of
encroaching vegetation. As such no effects on public access will occur.
17. Traffic: The applicants anticipate the proposed use would generate a modest increase in
traffic to the subject site; however, the increase would be limited to registered guests. Due
to the proposed maximum of 10 guests, the traffic generated by the proposed use will not
represent a significant increase over existing residential levels.
3-
PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES
18. Roadway Access: The subject parcel is accessed by Ali'i Drive, which is a County owned
and maintained access with an average pavement width of 35 feet within a 40-foot right-
of-way.
19. Water: The subject parcel is currently served by one(1) existing 5/8-inch meter, allotted
one (1) equivalent unit of water. The Department of Water Supply (DWS) has noted that
the existing usage at the project site over the past year is approximately 950-gallons per
day (GPD), which is equivalent to three (3) units of water. The DWS requests that the
applicant submits estimated maximum daily water usage calculations for review and
approval.Upon receipt of the water usage calculations the DWS will make a determination
as to the water commitment deposit amount and prevailing facilities charges to be paid, if
necessary. Based on the water demand the DWS will determine the appropriate service
lateral and meter size required. The proposed project will require the installation of a
reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly, within 5 feet of the meter on the
property. The installation of the backflow prevention assembly must be inspected and
approved by the DWS before commencement/continuation of water service.
20. Wastewater: Currently the home is served by a permitted cesspool, a cesspool survey
dated January 13, 1987 was included with the application.
21. Other Essential Utilities and Services: Telephone and electrical power service is
currently available along the Ali'i Road frontage on the project site. Police, fire and
medical services are available in Kailua-Kona.

INTRODUCTION
The Arthur Arejian Trust ("applicant") is requesting a Use Permit for the
operation of a bed and breakfast on a 14,530 square-foot property in Kailua-
Kona, Hawaii. The property is located at 78-6626 Alii Drive, approximately
0.5-mile south of its intersection with La'aloa Avenue (Figure 1).
The applicant is requesting to operate a four-room bed and breakfast in the
residence on the subject property. The home consists of five bedrooms and
five bathrooms. The home is the residence of a full-time caretaker/operator.
Alternative visitor experiences are in high demand in Hawaii, especially since
the implementation of Bill 108 has reduced the number of short-term vacation
rentals in operation. Many visitors to Hawaii are looking for accommodations
and experiences outside of the typical resort environment. Bed and breakfast
accommodations provide alternative lodging sites for visitors seeking a more
personal experience in Hawaii. The County, recognizing this trend has
established guidelines in the Zoning Code, Section 25-4-7(b) regarding bed
and breakfast establishments.
The approval of this bed and breakfast facility is consistent with the social
and physical character of the residential-resort area and will contribute to the
economic development of the County. Further, approval of this Use Permit
would be logical given the numerous vacation rental properties nearby.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As noted earlier, the subject property is located off Alii Drive, approximately
0.5 miles south of its intersection with La'aloa Avenue. The subject parcel is
14,530 square-feet in size, zoned RS-7.5, is generally rectangular in shape,
and has been residentially developed for approximately 40 years.
The proposed bed and breakfast will provide overnight accommodations to a
maximum of ten (10) guests, for compensation, for a period of less than thirty
days. A full-time caretaker will reside onsite in the room at the south end of
the house on the lower level.
3A. Project Concept and Components
As noted above, the applicant wishes to operate a bed and breakfast
on the subject property. See attached Conceptual Site Plan (Figure 2)
and existing and proposed floor plans (Figure 3 & 4) and Elevation
Drawings (Figure 5 a & b) for existing and proposed project elements
and property boundaries.

The applicant respectfully requests the following elements be allowed
as part of the Use Permit:
1) Accommodations —four bedrooms will be rented to guests within
the house.
2) Breakfast may be provided only to registered guests and no other
meals will be provided.
3) Paved parking will be provided in an existing three car garage and
in designated paved spaces (2) between the home and Alii Drive.
4) An existing swimming pool may also be used by registered guests.
5) No exterior signage is proposed for the bed & breakfast.
6) The project will be operated by the property caretaker who would
reside on site in the bedroom indicated on the plans.
Real Property Tax records indicate the house was built in 1987 under
permit#860290 and received final inspections. The home will be
undergoing long deferred maintenance to make the property more
marketable as a bed & breakfast. Work will include:
1. New roof installation —wood shake to composite shingle.
2. Home will be painted — interior and exterior.
3. New tile floors will be installed throughout.
4. Windows and Doors will be salvaged to the greatest extent
possible and repaired / replaced as needed.
5. A bike rack will be installed under the cantilevered portion of
the lower floor.
6. The front entry Rock wall will be cut back to facilitate parking
ingress and egress.
7. Railings throughout the home are currently vertical wood slats
but will be converted to cable railings to better optimize the
view plane.
8. There will be one coconut tree cut down that is on the northern
side of the home. It is currently tilted to the point where it is
growing under the neighboring home's eave. It has become a
nuisance and safety hazard.
10
Renovations to the home have been permitted (BK 2020-01531) and
exempted from Special Management Area Permitting (Exhibit A). The
estimated timeframe to obtain building permits and complete the
development and infrastructure improvements is estimated to be 6
months. The estimated cost of said improvements for this project is
approximately $150,000.
3B. Subject Property Description
As noted earlier, the project site is identified by TMK (3) 7-8-014: 076
with an area of 14,530 square-feet. The subject site is located off Alii
Drive, approximately 0.5 mile south of its intersection with La'aloa
Avenue.
The subject parcel is generally rectangular in shape with the shoreline
on the western boundary and has been used residentially for
approximately 40 years. The shoreline adjacent to the subject parcel
is rocky and generally rough with small pockets of sand that come and
go in depressions in the lava rock.
3C. Institutional Considerations
State Land Use
The subject site is designated State Land Use Urban. The proposed
use would not be contrary to the objectives of Chapter 205, or Title 15
Chapter 15 Hawaii Revised Statutes. State Land Use Law and
Regulations generally defer to the authority of the County regarding
permitted uses in the Urban district.
Hawaii County Code Chapter 25-5-3(b)(1) allows for the establishment
of a bed and breakfast on residentially zoned lands provided that a
use permit is issued. Based on the authority conferred on the Planning
Commission by County Code Section 25-2-62 to 65.
Special Management Area
The subject property is adjacent to the shoreline and within the SMA.
A Special Management Area Assessment (SAA-20-001747) was
submitted to the Planning Department on March 6, 2020. The
Planning Department concluded that: Based on the information
provided, the Director finds that the proposed improvements and
maintenance to an existing dwelling will not have a cumulative impact,
11
or significant adverse environmental or ecological effect on the special
management area. (Exhibit A)
County Zoning and General Plan
The County zoning of the subject site is Residential 7,500 square-feet
RS-7.5). The County General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation
Guide (LUPAG) map, designates the parcel as Open Area. The
LUPAG Open designation is intended for Parks and other recreational
areas, historic sites, and open shoreline areas, however, the LUPAG
map is intended to be a broad, flexible design intended to guide the
direction and quality of future developments in a coordinated and
rational manner.
Relative to these designations, Hawaii County Code Chapter 25-5-
3(b)(1) allows for the establishment of a bed and breakfast on
residentially zoned lands provided that a use permit is issued where
the requested use meets certain criteria as outlined in Section 4 of the
permit application.
General Plan Discussion
The Hawaii County General Plan serves as a guide for decision-
makers in land use matters. The proposed project is conducive to the
General Plan's guidelines as it conforms to the following goals,
policies, and standards of the General Plan:
2.2 Goals
a) Provide residents with opportunities to improve their quality of
life through economic development that enhances the County's
natural and social environments.
b) Economic development and improvement shall be in balance
with the physical, social, and cultural environments of the island
of Hawaii.
c) Strive for diversity and stability in the economic system
d) Provide an economic environment that allows new, expanded,
or improved economic opportunities that are compatible with
the County's cultural, natural and social environment.
e) Strive for an economic climate that provides its residents an
opportunity for choice of occupation.
f) Strive for diversification of the economy by strengthening
existing industries and attracting new endeavors.
12
2.3 Policies
c) Encourage the development of a visitor industry that is in
harmony with the social, physical, and economic goals of the
residents of the County
14.1.3 Policies
t) Encourage the development and maintenance of communities
meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical
and social environment.
The General plan also encourages the development of small-scale
accommodations;
In recent years, niche tourism markets, such as eco-tourism and
health and wellness tourism have established themselves throughout
the island. Niche markets for these types of tourism have growth
potential by promoting the abundance of natural, historical and cultural
resources this island has to offer. While most of the larger resorts
focus upon recreational opportunities offered by the island's coastal
resources, these niche tourism markets also take advantage of other
natural and cultural resources available from various locations
throughout the County.
Approval of the requested Use Permit would be in line with the
aforementioned economic and land use goals and policies of the
General Plan by maintaining the character of the community while
offering alternative lodging options to island visitors.
Kona Community Development Plan
The Kona Community Development Plan (KCDP) attempts to further
define the General Plan and serves as a guide for decision-makers.
The proposed Use Permit request is conducive to the following goals,
objectives, and policies outlined in the KCDP:
The subject property is located in the Kona Urban area and more
specifically, the Kahalu'u Makai Village Neighborhood TOD. This
secondary mixed-use, mixed-density area denoted with a boundary of
roughly equivalent to a 10-minute walking radius from the village
center. The proposed use would establish visitor accommodations in
an area identified as desirable for future development. The adjacent
Kahalu'u Makai Village center would include a higher-density urban
core with mixed uses and transit options.
13
Policy TRAN-6.1: Official Concurrency Map.
Concurrency requirements shall be determined by HCC §25-2-46 and
be generally consistent with the Official Concurrency Map and be
informed by a TIAR when applicable.
The proposed bed and breakfast establishment would offer four rooms
for rent in an existing home with direct access to Ali'i Drive. The
proposed use would generate a modest increase in traffic. However,
the potential traffic generated by a maximum of ten (10) guests using
a combined four (4) parking spaces would represent a negligible
increase in traffic to area transportation facilities. Further, none of the
proposed connector roads identified in the KCDP cross or lie adjacent
to the subject parcel.
Policy LU1.2 Urban Area. The majority of future growth in Kona shall
be directed to the Kona Urban Area shown on the Official Kona Land
Use Map (see Figure 4-7), which spans from the Kona International
Airport to Keauhou subject to the policies set forth under Objective
LU-2 Urban Area Growth Management.
The proposed bed and breakfast is within the Kona Urban Area as
defined by the KCDP and as such would further the policy of
concentrating growth in this area.
Valued Cultural Resources
In view of the recent Hawaii State Supreme Court's "PASH" and "Ka
Pa'akai 0 Ka'Aina"decisions, the issue relative to native Hawaiian
gathering and fishing rights must be addressed. Specifically, there
must be a discussion of the cultural, historical, and natural resources
and associated traditional and customary practices of this site.
The subject property is adjacent to the shoreline. However, no actions
are proposed within the shoreline setback area and no changes to
shoreline access will occur. The proposed use will utilize an existing
home as a bed and breakfast for visitor accommodations.
The shoreline fronting the subject property is rocky and rough, though
Kahalu'u Bay, a popular shoreline recreation area and beach park is
approximately half a mile to the south.
It is not known whether the subject property or immediate surrounding
area have ever been used for the gathering of plants by Native
14
Hawaiians. However, it would appear very unlikely that the site would
serve such purpose today and/or in the recent past.
There are also no known archaeological features on the subject
property.
Based on the above, it does not appear that the project would have
any potential adverse impact relating to the cultural and historical
resources of this area.
3D. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses
The County zoning of the subject property and the surrounding area is
Residential (RS-7.5). Larger undeveloped parcels with single and
multi-family residential zoning lie to the east, mauka of Alii Drive.
Kahalu'u Bay and the Kahalu'u Resort Node lie approximately 0.4
miles to the south. A search of vacation rental sites indicates that the
majority of the surrounding properties are used for vacation rentals,
similar to the proposed bed and breakfast.
3E. Flood Insurance Rate Map
The US Corps of Engineers Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)
designates the majority of the subject parcel falling within Zone VE
coastal flood zone with velocity hazard (wave action)) (Figure 6).
However, there are no identified drainage ways through the site and
the proposed use will comply with the requirements of Chapter 27
relating to Flood Control. The home has an elevation certificate on file
with the Department of Public Works which was evaluated during
renovation permit issuance (Exhibit B).
The property is located in the Tsunami Evacuation Zone. The property
is covered by the warning siren located at the Kahalu'u Beach Park
approximately 0.4 miles to the south. The nearest mauka-makai
evacuation route is La'aloa Avenue approximately 0.5 mile to the
north.
3F. Archaeological Resources
As construction will be limited to areas within the existing building
outline and a small section of existing rock wall, archaeological
resources are not expected to be encountered. No commissioned
archaeological survey of the site was made. However, if needed, an

archaeological monitoring plan can be prepared and implemented in
conjunction with further land clearing activity.
Furthermore, in the event any inadvertent discoveries are made during
any land disturbance activity relating to this project, work will cease,
and the applicants will immediately notify the Planning Department
and the State DLNR and secure their clearances before proceeding
further.
3G. Floral and Faunal Resources
Although there was no formal survey conducted of the floral and
faunal resources of the site, the applicants do not believe that rare or
endangered floral or faunal resources are likely to be found within or
proximate to the subject site as this area has been cleared and used
residentially many years. Vegetation found in the project area consists
primarily typical coastal landscape plants including coconut and fan
palms, plumeria, octopus tree, bananas and hibiscus
Due to the largely urban nature of the surrounding area, it is unlikely
that native birds would frequent the area or the subject property. All
proposed activities will occur on previously cleared areas so impacts
to native flora and fauna are expected to be minimal. Further, no uses
or activities are proposed in the shoreline setback area.
In addition, introduced bird species (such as dove, house sparrow,
house finch, saffron finch, Japanese White-eye, myna) are common in
this area. Domestic animals such as cats and dogs, and other animals
like rats and mongoose are also common. These are all common and
not endangered.
As such, it is unlikely that the proposed use of the subject property
would cause any adverse faunal impacts.
3H. Description of Access
The subject parcel is accessed via Alii Drive, approximately 0.5 miles
south of its intersection with La'aloa Avenue. Ali'i Drive is a County
owned and maintained access with an average pavement width of 35
feet within a 40 foot right of way. The condition of Alii Drive proximate
to the subject parcel is good.
The subject parcel is adjacent to the shoreline. There is an existing
established shoreline public access route along the southern
17
boundary of the subject property. This access is listed by the County
as Kahaluu Beach Lots Subdivision — Rocky shoreline and tidal
ponds. Fishing. Limited parking along Alii Drive. No facilities.
Hazardous footing, currents and waves. The proposed use will not
impact the established public access along the southern property
boundary. Under the proposed use the public access would be
maintained clear of encroaching vegetation. As such, no public access
will be affected by this request.
31. Traffic Impacts
Traffic on Ali'i Drive is moderate and made up of residents of the area
and visitors. The proposed use would generate a modest increase in
traffic to the subject site; however, the increase would be limited to
registered guests. Due to the proposed maximum of 10 guests, the
traffic generated by the proposed use will not represent a significant
increase over existing residential levels.
3.1. Availability of Utilities
HELCO power is available to the site. Water is provided by the
Department of Water Supply system and is adequate for the proposed
use.
The property is not served by County or private sewer systems. The
southern extent of the Kealakehe Wastewater system is approximately
1,200-feet north of the subject parcel (with the nearest pump station at
Pahoehoe). The northern terminus of the private Kealakehe
wastewater system is approximately 1,200-feet south of the subject
parcel. It is not known if a sewer system is likely to be extended to the
subject property within the next ten years. Currently the home is
served by a permitted cesspool (Exhibit C). Hawaii Department of
Health regulations require that all cesspools in Hawaii be converted to
an approved Individual Wastewater System by 2050. All other utilities
are available to the site.
III. REGULATORY ANALYSIS
4A. Conformance to Zoning Code and General Plan
The proposed use will not be contrary to the goals, polices, and
standards of the General Plan and other applicable documents such
as the Kona Community Development Plan. As discussed in Section
3C the proposed use conforms to the General Plan's Policies, Goals,
18
and Standards. The proposed request clearly meets the goals of the
GP outlined above. The proposed project will provide an opportunity
for the applicants to establish a four-bedroom bed and breakfast,
providing additional alternative lodging choices for visitors. The
approval of this bed and breakfast facility is consistent with the social
and physical character of the suburban area and will contribute to the
economic development of the County.
The proposed use will not substantially alter or change the essential
character of the land and the present use. The proposed project is
intended to preserve the essential character of the present use of the
property so that it may be enjoyed by others. The subject property is
presently used and will continue to be used residentially.
The proposed bed and breakfast establishment would offer four rooms
for rent in an existing home within a rural neighborhood. The proposed
alterations and additional accessory structures would be evaluated
and approved by the community architecture committee and would
therefore be complementary to the community character. Further, the
existing bed and breakfast establishments in the area speak to the
suitability of the proposed use.
4B. Impacts to Surrounding Properties
The desired use shall not adversely affect the surrounding properties.
There are few homes proximate to the subject site and many of the
properties in the area utilize landscaping to screen views from
neighboring properties. The applicants will establish and maintain
landscaping in keeping with the character of the area. All patrons will
park onsite in parking stalls provided by the applicants. Based on the
maximum number of guests and anticipated frequency of trips, the
proposed request will not generate a significant increase in traffic.
A search of vacation rental sites indicates that the majority of the
surrounding properties are used for vacation rentals, similar to the
proposed bed and breakfast, minimizing the potential for conflicts
between residential and visitor uses. Additionally, the requested use
should not interfere with morning school and work traffic. Traffic in the
afternoon would essentially be similar to common residential traffic.
Further, the applicants' proposed use is quiet and will not cause a
nuisance to the surrounding community regarding sound. Though the
bed 8 breakfast will be available for overnight accommodation, good
neighbor policies will be adhered to including quiet hours, minimizing
19
the likelihood of adverse impacts due to noise from the bed &
breakfast. Further the on-site caretaker would further mitigate any
potential adverse impacts from visitor use.
Lastly, visual impacts will be very minimal. The applicants intend to
provide landscaping so as maintain visual effects that are consistent
with the surrounding neighborhood. Also, the proposed renovations
and proposed on the property are attractive and will improve the
overall appearance of the home. No coastal views will substantially
change resulting from the proposed use or associated renovations.
4C. Impacts to Public Agencies
The proposed project will not unreasonably burden public agencies to
provide roads and streets, sewers, water, drainage, school
improvements, and police and fire protection. The subject site is
already accessible via Ali'i Drive and no additional utilities will need to
be provided by public agencies. The Keauhou Fire Station is located
approximately 4.5 miles to the south. The Kona Police Station is
located approximately 5 miles to the north.
The project site is served by the County water system. Wastewater is
currently handled by a permitted cesspool. The parcel is served by all
other utilities. Therefore, the proposed use is not expected to impact
public agencies as it will not require any services.
Notwithstanding the current unprecedented downturn in tourism statewide
due to the global novel coronavirus pandemic, alternative visitor experiences
are in high demand in Hawaii, especially since the implementation of Bill 108
has reduced the number of short-term vacation rentals in operation.
Many visitors to Hawaii are looking for accommodations and experiences
outside of the typical resort environment. Bed and breakfast
accommodations provide alternative lodging sites for visitors seeking a more
personal experience in Hawaii. Bed and breakfast establishments also
provide an appropriate scale of service in suburban and residential areas
such as this property.
In conclusion, the proposed Use Permit request would contribute to the
economic recovery of Kona by allowing alternative visitor experiences and
overnight accommodations while maintaining the unique small-town
character of the community.

We have reviewed the subject Special Management Area (SMA) Use Permit Assessment
Application (SAA-20-001747), submitted to this office on March 6, 2020. We apologize for the
lengthy review and appreciate your patience. The 0.33-acre subject parcel is zoned Single-Family
Residential 7,500 square feet(RS-7.5)by the County and designated Urban by the State Land Use
Commission (LUC). The subject parcel is designated as "Open" (ope) by the Hawai' CountyGeneralPlanLandUsePatternAllocationGuide (LUPAG)map. The parcel is within the Special
Management Area (SMA), however, the proposed project is not within the "shoreline area" as
defined by Section 205A-41, Hawai' Revised Statutes (HRS). Based on the proposed project the
Director has determined the requirement to submit a current certified shoreline survey is waived.
Proposed Project:
The applicant is proposing to conduct improvements and repairs to an existing dwelling locatedonthesubjectparcel.The proposed project includes:
Replace roofing materials (wood shake to composite shingle);
Interior painting and the application of exterior stucco;
Installation of new tile floors throughout dwelling;

determined it to be exempted from the definition of "Development". According to 9-4(e)(2)
Development" does not include the following uses, activities or operations, and therefore is
determined to be exempt from the definition of"Development":
Repair,maintenance, or interior alterations to existing structures or relating to existing
uses; and
Structural and non-structural improvements to existing single-family residences,where
otherwise permissible.
3. Pursuant to Planning Commission Rule 9-4(e)(4), "whenever the Director finds that any
