Variation on a theme suggested in PCDP (draft 032108 page 3-10).
I think it's long past time everyone stopped pretending that (some of) the "agricultural" subdivisions are actually going to be used for agriculture. During the big subdivision boom, it was suggested that "agricultural" subdivisions should have a minimum 5-acre lot size; this was eventually implemented, but too late for most of Puna.
My proposal is simple: rezone subdivisions where the lots are too small to be practical for farming.
Lots under 10,000sf should be rezoned to RS-10.
Lots up to 1 acre should be rezoned to RA-1.
I'm serious, but I don't expect to be taken as such.
