There is a recommendation (as well as a number of them for agriculture) from the Puna Community Development Plan (PCDP) to down zone large areas of Puna to reduce or eliminate the ability to subdivide ag land for housing.
Fact is that large areas of Puna are zoned AG-1 (one acre minimum). Land in this zone classification are really potential residential subdivisions in sheep's clothing. The proposal to take ag areas of AG-1 and rezone them to the parcel sizes as they exist now. If a parcel is 50 acres it would rezone to AG-50. If a parcel is 100 acres it would rezone to AG-100.
There may be a provision to provide a one time subdivision for family purposes.
Anyway, that is one thing moving forawrd to try to keep Puna a rural, agricultural district. It was brought froth in the Land Use Working Group which I was part of. I'm sure James Weatherford, who was on the Agriculture Working Group, will have more input for you too.

Assume the best and ask questions.
