The subject property is located in the Puna district, in the Mauna Loa Estates Subdivision, which is located near Volcano Village. If I can direct your attention to the screen, you can see the subject property is identified by a red dot in the middle of the screen. And this entire subdivision here, all of these lots, is Mauna Loa Estates. Volcano Village is located in this general area where you see pink on the slide. And then you have the Volcano Highway running through the middle. The property--let me see if I have a close up, there we go. The property is located off of Jade th Avenue which runs in a mauka-makai orientation, and then off of Jade it would be on 6 th Avenue, just makai of 6 Avenue. The entire Mauna Loa Estates Subdivision is zoned Single Family Residential, which is shown in the light yellow. The General Plan designation for the property is Low Density Urban, which allows for residential development, as well as the proposed bed and breakfast use. 1 EXHIBIT D
