COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
TIMOTHY JOSEPH WARD & KAY LYNN WARD
CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION (REZ 21-000246)
Upon careful review of the request against the guidelines for granting a change of zone,
the Deputy Planning Director is recommending that a favorable recommendation of the
Change of Zone requests be forwarded to the County Council. Since this recommendation is
made without the benefit of public testimony, the Deputy Planning Director reserves the right to
modify and/or alter this position based upon additional information presented at the public
hearing. This favorable recommendation is based on the following findings:
The applicants are requesting Change of Zone from an Agricultural -5 -acre (A -5a)
and Agricultural -1 acre (A-1 a) to a Single -Family Residential -22,000 square feet (RS -22)
zoning district for the 3.985 acres and 332 square feet, respectively. If the requested land
use entitlement changes are approved, the applicants propose to subdivide the property
into six (6) buildable lots with a minimum of 22,000 square feet each and a road lot. The
applicants hope to secure the entitlements as soon as possible and the subdivision process
would begin immediately thereafter.
In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable
goals, policies, and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only
through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions
can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the
General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and
decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the
County.
The change of zone request from an A -5a and A -la to an RS -22 zoning
district conforms to applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan and
the Kona Community Development Plan (CDP). The subject, 3.992 -acre property is
roughly rectangular in shape, slopes slightly to moderately to the west between the 1,510
foot and 1,640 -foot elevation and is currently vacant of any structures or improvements.
The parcels directly adjacent to the north are part of the Kona Palisade
Subdivision and similarly zoned A-5a, however, they consist of non-conforming lots
sizes between 10,000 and 15,000 square feet and consist of single -family residences.
Nearby subdivisions along Kaiminani Drive are zoned RS-l0 and RS-15 and lands
directly to the south and west of the subject property are zoned A-1 a and similarly consist
of residences. There is a Neighborhood Commercial (CN-20) property situated across
Mamalahoa Highway to the east (mauka) of subject property, which is the site of the
Matsuyama Food Mart. •
The RS (Single -Family Residential) zoning district provides for lower or low and
medium density residential use, for urban and suburban family life. It applies to areas
having adequate facilities to carry out the above stated purpose.
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 various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban
and non-urban form for areas within the County. The proposed RS-22 zoning conforms to
the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map which designates the
subject property as Low Density Urban (LDU) According to the General Plan, the LDU
designation allows for residential (with ancillary community and public uses), and
neighborhood and convenience-type commercial uses; overall residential density may be
up to six units per acre. Based on the preceding, proposed RS-22 zoning would effectuate
an increase in single -family residential density that would be consistent with the LDU
LUPAG designations. Although bhana dwellings are permitted in the County's RS
zoned district, a condition will be included to incorporate restrictive covenants in the
deed of all lots to prohibit bhana dwellings on the lots to ensure that the infrastructure of
the area is not overwhelmed by the additional residential density.
In addition, the proposed RS-22 zoning is consistent with the following Land Use
goals, policies, and standards of the General Plan:
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.
Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation,
district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent
zoned uses, availability ofpublic services and utilities, access, and public need
Designate and allocate single-family residential zoned lands at varying densities
for future use in accordance with the needs of the communities and the stated
goals, policies, and standards.
The subject property falls within the Kona CDP Kona Urban Area, within which
the CDP directs the majority of future growth of the region. However, the subject
property is not located within a designated Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area.
The proposed change of zone is consistent with Policy LU -2.8 of the Kona CDP,
which provides guidance on conventional rezoning of lands situated within the Kona
Urban Area, but outside of Transit -Oriented Development (TOD) areas. In those areas,
the CDP encourages Infill Rezoning, which are defined as rezonings that, "...connect two
or more pre-existing developments. Infill is usually associated with small scale
developments of20 acres or less that have been leapfrogged by the surrounding or
adjacent developments. Infill rezonings should be conditioned to ensure connectivity to
the surrounding developments and, where applicable, to provide mixed-use opportunities
to make the area more walkable."
The parcels directly adjacent to the north are part of the Kona Palisades
Subdivision and similarly zoned A -5a, however, they consist of non -conforming lots
sizes between 10,000 and 15,000 square feet and consist of single-family residences.
Additionally, there are several nearby subdivisions along Kaiminani Drive that were
rezoned from unplanned and agricultural zoning district to RS -10 and RS -15. A private
roadway lot will connect the subdivision to Ihumoe Street on the west (makai) side,
however connectivity through the eastern (mauka) portion of the property is not possible
as the Mamalahoa Highway frontage of the property is encumbered with a ten (10) -foot
wide "No Access Planting Screen" that prohibits direct access to the highway.
All essential utilities and services are available to the site. Access to the subject
property is from Ihumoe Street, a County owned and maintained roadway with a 20-foot-
wide pavement within a 50 -foot right-of-way (ROW). The six (6) lot subdivision will be
served by a private road conforming with the Department of Public Works (DPW)
Standard Detail R-39 for a non-dedicable private dead-end street with a minimum
16 -foot -wide pavement withing a minimum 20 -foot right-of-way. The property's
Mamalahoa Highway/Hawai`i Belt Road frontage is encumbered with a 10 -foot -wide
No Vehicular Access & Planting Screen", thus direct access to the highway is
prohibited. According to DPW — Engineering Division, connection to Ihumoe Street will
require a County ROW permit in conformance with Hawaii County Code, Chapter 22,
County Streets. Additionally, the applicants shall install streetlights and traffic control
devices as may be required by the Department of Public Works -Traffic Division. The
applicant will be responsible for the design, purchase, and installation of such devices.
The preceding will be required as conditions of approval.
County water can be made available from an existing 8 -inch waterline along
Ihumoe Street which fronts the subject property. As a condition of approval, the
applicants will be required to construct and dedicate necessary water system
improvements as required by the Department of Water Supply (DWS) prior to securing
Final Subdivision Approval.
As there is no municipal sewer system in the area, wastewater will be disposed of
through individual wastewater system(s) meeting with requirements of the State
Department of Health. Solid waste will be handled through commercial haulers or the
individual homeowners into authorized landfill sites or transfer stations.
All essential utilities such as telephone, cable, and electrical services are available
to the site. Police, fire, and medical services are available nearby in Kona. To limit the
cumulative impact of the proposed subdivision on area infrastructure, a condition of
approval will prohibit a second dwelling and condominium property regime on each lot.
There are no severe geological or topographical problems for the property
that cannot be properly rectified, or which would render the land unusable. The
project site has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly
rectified, or which would render the land unusable. According to the Flood Insurance
Rate Map (FIRM) prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
4-
the property is located in Zone "X" or "Area of Minimal Flood Hazard" and it is not
known to be prone to flooding. The topography of the project slopes slightly to
moderately from east to west between the 1,640 foot and 1,510 -foot elevation (roughly
10 to 15%).
DPW requires that all development generated runoff shall be disposed of on-site
and shall not be directed toward any adjacent properties. All earthwork activity, including
grading and grubbing, shall conform to Chapter 10, Erosion and Sedimentation Control,
of the Hawaii County Code. The preceding will be added as condtions of approval.
According to DPW, there is an open grubbing permit (#9-2708) that was issued to
resolve a grubbing complaint. However, the permit was never completed/closed. DPW
recommends that the permit be resolved before the change of zone application is
approved. A condition of approval will be added to require the applicants to close the
open grubbing permit prior to securing any further land alteration permits.
The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawai`i Revised Statutes,
relating to Coastal Zone Management Area. The subject property is located over four
4) miles from the nearest shoreline, is not situated within the Special Management Area
and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There are no identified
recreational resources or public access to the shoreline or mountain areas scenic and
open space preserves, coastal ecosystems, marine resources, or other natural and
environmental resources in the area. Thus, the proposed request and use of the property
will not adversely impact those resources.
As the subject property was previous cleared, and given the suburban, developed
nature of the surrounding area, it is not anticipated that endangered or threatened
candidate species of flora or fauna are located within the subject property.
The request will not have a significant adverse impact to traditional and
customary Hawaiian Rights. In view of the 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 in terms of the cultural, historical, and natural
resources and the associated traditional and customary practices of the site.
Investigation of valued resources: In February 2013, a complaint was filed for the
grubbing of the property without permits. The complaint alleged that there was a possible
disturbance of archaeological sites on the property. An enforcement action ensued before
the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) and it was determined that a number of
archaeological sites within the property had been disturbed. An Archaeological Inventory
Survey (AIS) was subsequently completed by Haun and Associates in June 2013
The valued cultural, historical, and natural resources found in the rezoning area.
The AIS identified seven (7) sites with 36 total features on the subject property. In a letter
dated January 25, 2016, SHPD accepted the AIS, and the recommendations contained
therein, including proposed data recovery for Sites 29789 (lava tube) and 29794 (terrace).
Instead of data recovery, the previous landowner agreed to preserve the sites in place,
thus a Preservation Plan was prepared and accepted by SHPD by letter dated October 26,
2016. Pursuant to the approved Preservation Plan, the sites will be conserved within a
proposed 0.12 -acre archaeological preserve situated within Lot 5 of the proposed
subdivision. Other requirements of the preservation plan include an interim buffer of 20
feet marked by bright orange construction safety fence, to be erected prior to the
commencement of any ground altering activity and retained in place until completion of
all development on the property. The Preservation Plan also requires a 10 -foot -wide
permanent preservation buffer to be set by a metes and bounds survey and recorded on a
plat map and submitted to the Bureau of Conveyances and recorded as a restrictive
covenant in the property deed for Lot 5. By letter dated April 19, 2017, SHPD verified
the completion of temporary preservation, however, the other requirements of the
Preservation Plan have yet to be completed. Please note, based on the approximate
location of the preserve area, the applicants may have to adjust their proposed subdivision
layout to accommodate the required temporary 20 -foot buffer.
Based on staff conversations with SHPD, the applicants could pursue the
originally recommended Archaeological Data Recovery process in lieu of completing the
preservation commitments outlined in the Preservation Plan, which may remove the
buffer requirements and may allow more of the land area to be developed. Based on the
preceding, the Deputy Director is recommending conditions either requiring completion
of the treatments and provisions of the approved Preservation Plan or allowing the
applicants to pursue the Archaeological Data Recovery process which would include the
requirement of an approved Data Recovery plan and any mitigation steps recommended
therein. In either case, completion of the archaeological mitigation commitments would
be required prior to the issuance of any land alteration permits and no later than the
issuance of Final Subdivision Approval.
According to the applicants, it is not known whether the subject property or
immediate surrounding area has been used in the recent past for the gathering of plants by
Native Hawaiians. Furthermore, the applicants have not observed any Native Hawaiians
gathering plants or conducting any other customary and traditional practices on the site or
the adjoining properties.
Possible adverse effect or impairment of valued resources: With the exception of
the previously mentioned archaeological sites, which should be protected upon
completion of the required Preservation Plan treatments, the impairment of other valued
resources on the property is unlikely.
Feasible actions to protect native Hawaiian rights: As stated by the applicant, no
gathering is taking place on the site. Thus, to the extent to which traditional and
customary native Hawaiian rights are exercised, the proposed action will not affect
traditional Hawaiian rights; therefore, no action is necessary to protect these rights.
However, in addition to the Preservation Plan condition mentioned above, a condition of
approval will be added for the protection of inadvertent finds should any remains of
historic sites, such as rock walls, terraces, platforms, marine shell concentrations or
human burials be encountered.
Lastly, this recommendation is made with the understanding that the applicant
remains responsible for complying with all other applicable governmental requirements
in connection with the proposed use, prior to its commencement or establishment upon
the subject properties. Additional govemmental requirements may include the issuance of
building permit, compliance with the Fire Code, installation of improvements required by
the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), among many others. Compliance with all
applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this approval; failure to comply
with such requirements will be considered a violation that may result in enforcement
action by the Planning Department and/or the affected agencies.
Based on the preceding findings, the request to rezone the property from an Agricultural
5-acre (A-5a) and Agricultural 1-acre (A-1a) zoning districts to a Single -Family Residential -
22,000 square feet (RS-22) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that
would further benefit the general public.
The accompanying draft bill to amend Section 25-8- 3 (North Kona District Zone Map),
Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code, is provided for your favorable
consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill.

S. An initial extension of time for the performance of conditions within the
ordinance may be granted by the Planning Director upon the following
circumstances:
1. The non-performance is the result of conditions that could not have been
foreseen or are beyond the control of the applicants, successors or assigns,
and that are not the result of their fault or negligence.
2. Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the General Plan
or Zoning Code.
3. Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the original
reasons for the granting of the change of zone.
4. The time extension granted shall be for a period not to exceed the period
originally granted for performance (i.e., a condition to be performed
within one year may be extended for up to one additional year).
5. If the applicant should require an additional extension of time, the
Planning Director shall submit the applicant's request to the County
Council for appropriate action.
Should any of the conditions not be met or substantially complied with in a timely
fashion, the Planning Director may initiate rezoning of the area to its original or
more appropriate designation.
