PUNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
MANAGING GROWTH: 3.1 Land Use Pattern
Action 3.1.3.c (page 3-5)
Facilitate land use entitlements and other tools for the development of existing
and future village/town centers and special design districts by:
1) Recommending approval of applications for commercial zoning or use permits for existing commercial uses in designated
village/town centers that do not presently have appropriate entitlements, and for proposed uses at appropriate nearby locations, provided that the size and use of the expansion area
conforms to the criteria applicable to the type of village/town center at that location;
2) Recommending denial of applications for zone changes for commercial or light industrial use
on sites that are not within designated village/town centers.
(3.1.1) Goals:
Puna retains a rural character while it protects its native natural and cultural resources.
The quality
of life improves and economic opportunity expands for Puna’s residents.
Services and community facilities are more accessible in village/town centers that are distributed throughout
the region, including the underserved subdivisions that have been experiencing higher levels of development growth.
Exposure to high risk from natural hazards situations is reduced.
Inappropriate
and disproportionate County zoning can be adjusted in order to maintain and increase the quality of life and to preserve valued natural and cultural resources in the district.
Native
vegetation, coastal and historic resources are provided new forms of protection.
Reduced overall number of buildable lots in Puna.
h) Incentives, disincentives, regulations and other
methods are used to diminish land speculation in Puna.
(3.1.2) Objectives:
Implement tools for re-shaping the pattern of future development to prevent further sprawl, such as land
pooling.
Develop a typology for existing and proposed village/town centers, including criteria for their location, scale, uses and design.
Enhance the role of existing and new village/town
centers by allowing expanded commercial uses, facilitating the development of farmers markets and community gathering places, opportunities for special needs housing, and infrastructure
to support more compact development form and multi-modal travel.
Create new village/town centers as necessary, in or near presently underserved subdivisions, beginning with those experiencing
higher rates of population growth so residents of those areas will have community activities and more convenient access to services.
Target investments in public services and infrastructure
to promote the development of village/town centers and, secondarily, to serve the peripheral subdivision areas.
Limit the size of dwellings and accessory uses that are allowed in non-conforming,
agriculturally-zoned subdivisions to discourage excessive lot clearance and speculative building practices.
Identify a supporting role for the County in land assembly for the formation
of village/town centers.
Explore additional methods to protect native species habitat and historic features from development by use of economic incentives, development restrictions,
and district-wide rezoning.
Provide tax relief for properties whose development rights have been reduced through conservation easements and similar measures.
Explore innovative methods
to reduce property speculation such as elevated tax rates associated with rapid resale, and/or district-wide rezoning.
Where possible, reduce density and build-out within the district
by various means including selective rezoning.
