Confined to Urban Growth Areas (UGA). [Dwelling density up to 87 units per acre.]Compatible Zoning may include CG, MCX, PD, RM, CDH. “Medium Density Urban (MDU)” Village and neighborhood commercial, light service industrial, and single-family and multiple-family residential and related functions including TODs or Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND).

Except where noted, these areas should retain their rural character with low-density residential development, supporting small-scale commercial development, and agricultural land uses. Rural areas should not be targeted with the development of major public infrastructure or the extension of public sewer service except where a documented health, safety, and/or welfare condition warrants such an expansion. [Dwelling density up to 4 units per acre.] Compatible Zoning may include RA, FA, A, OPEN. “Productive Agriculture (PA)” Lands with better potential for sustained high agricultural yields because of soil type, climate, topography, or other factors. (5-acre minimum lot size) Productive agricultural lands were determined by including the following lands: • Lands outside of UGAs identified as “Important Agricultural Lands” on the 2005 General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide maps. • Lands outside of UGAs identified in the Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaiʻi (ALISH) classification system as “Prime” or “Unique”. • Lands outside of UGAs classified by the Land Study Bureau’s Soil Survey Report as Class B “Good” soils. (There are no Class A lands on the Island of Hawaiʻi) Lands classified as at least “fair” for two or more crops, on an irrigated basis, by the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service’s study of suitability for various crops. • In North and South Kona, the “coffee belt”, is a continuous band defined by elevation, according to input from area farmers and the 2020 Update to the Hawaiʻi Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline Report. • State agricultural parks.
