4.1 LAND USE - 4.1.3 Overview of Land Use Designations and Maps
Page 84. Table 19: General Plan Land Use Designations and Maps
“High Density Urban (HDU)” General commercial, [light] industrial-commercial mixed, multiple-family residential, and
related services including Transit Oriented Developments (TOD)[ and light industrial]. 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). Confined to UGAs. [Dwelling density up to 35 units per acre.] Compatible Zoning may include CV, CN, PD, RM, RD, RS
“Low Density Urban (LDU)” Residential, with ancillary community and public uses, and [neighborhood and ]convenience-type commercial uses, [and light industrial-commercial mixed use, ]including TND. [Dwelling
density up to 12 units per acre.] Compatible Zoning may include RS, RCX, RA
“Urban Expansion (UE)” Allows for a mix of high-density, medium-density, low-density, industrial-commercial mix,
and/or natural designations in areas where growth may be desirable, but where specific
settlement and infrastructure have not yet been determined. Compatible Zoning may include RS, RD, RM, RCX, CN, CG, CV, CN, MCX, PD, CDH, OPEN. “Light/Service Industrial (LI)”
Uses include but are not limited to business parks, research and development centers, product assembly, distribution centers, laboratories, cottage industries, and light service industrial uses. Compatible Zoning may include ML, MCX.
“Heavy Industrial (HI)”
Uses include but are not limited to landfills, quarries, chemical plants, heavy equipment base yards, towing yards, and other uses with the potential to create public nuisance conditions (e.g., noise, environmental impacts). Compatible Zoning may include MG, ML, MCX.
Director Darrow Recommended Amendments to Final Recommended Draft General Plan 2045 (02-18-2025)

“University (UNI)”
Public university, including ancillary public uses, residential, and support commercial uses.
Compatible Zoning may include UNV. “Resort (RES)”
Uses include a mix of visitor-related uses such as hotels, condominium hotels (condominiums
developed and/or operated as hotels), single-family and multiple-family residential units, golf courses and other typical resort recreational facilities, resort commercial complexes, and other support services. Compatible Zoning may include V.
“Rural (RU)”
Situated outside of UGAs. 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. [Dwelling density up to 1 unit per 5 acres, although additional may be allow with permitted
additional farm dwellings.] Compatible Zoning may include FA, A.
Director Darrow Recommended Amendments to Final Recommended Draft General Plan 2045 (02-18-2025)
4
“Extensive Agriculture (EA)”
Lands that are not capable of producing sustained, high agricultural yields without the intensive
application of modern farming methods and technologies due to certain physical constraints such as soil composition, slope, tillable by machine, and climate. These lands are better suited for other less intensive agricultural uses such as grazing and pasture and can support additional residential densities when situated near UGAs.
[Dwelling density up to 1 unit per acre, although additional may be allow with permitted
additional farm dwellings.] Compatible Zoning may include RA, FA, A. “Natural (NAT)”
Lands to be kept in a largely natural state with minimal facilities consistent with open space uses
along with agricultural land uses. Includes areas vulnerable to natural hazards, steep slopes, lava fields, and areas set aside for cultural and/or natural resource preservation purposes that are not necessarily under active management. [Dwelling density on agriculture zoning up to 1 unit per acre.] Compatible Zoning may include RA, FA, A, OPEN.
“Recreation (REC)” Parks, open space, and other recreational areas, such as golf courses, and shoreline setback areas not already in SLU Conservation. Compatible Zoning may include OPEN and adjoining
Zonings.
“Conservation (CON)” Forest and water reserves, natural and scientific preserves, areas in active management for
conservation purposes, areas to be kept in a largely natural state with minimal facilities
consistent with open space uses, such as picnic pavilions and comfort stations, and lands within the SLU Conservation District. Compatible Zoning may include OPEN.
