Narrative:
A cessna 510 was descending for pih. I issued him 10000 feet and failed to notice that there was another 11000 feet area on his route. I was busy with multiple other traffic situations and dij departure/arrivals and didn't see that the C510 was in the 11000 feet area until he was already several miles inside it. The terrain alert volume alert was not triggered that I saw. At that time; I issued the C510 the airport position; and he reported the field in sight; and was cleared for the visual. [I] recommend having a d-side; double check route before issuing descent clearance.
