Project Experience

An environmental impact statement and related documentation was prepared for a 32-unit residential apartment complex in West Hawaii on the Big Island of Hawaii.  Environmental issues included consideration of local vehicular traffic generation, the compatibility of the project with surrounding land uses in the North Kona area, the capacity of public utilities serving the area, visual quality of the urbanized area on the seaward side of local transportation corridors (Kuakini Highway), and historic/archaeological resources of the Kahalu’u Historic District.  Project alternatives evaluated the location of multi-family residential housing in three different West Hawaii locations, as well as the “no project” option.
