PUNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
MANAGING GROWTH: 3.1 Land Use Pattern
Action 3.1.3.e (page 3-7)
Propose amendments to the zoning code and/or apply district-wide rezoning to limit
allowable building footprint on residential and agricultural-zoned lands, except for sites designated as village/town centers or for land pooling projects.
(3.1.1) Goals:
a)
Puna retains a rural character while it protects its native natural and cultural resources.
b) The quality of life improves and economic opportunity expands for Puna’s residents.
c)
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.
d) Exposure to high risk from natural hazards situations is reduced.
e) 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.
f) Native vegetation, coastal and historic resources are provided
new forms of protection.
g) 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.
