current, what the most appropriate zoning is. So my question is, is the Planning Department then
<br />going to initiate a zoning change to a zoning that's more appropriate?
<br />CARR SMITH: Christian?
<br />KAY: I would defer to the Director on that question.
<br />CARR SMITH: Is the Director still with us? There he is. Did you hear the question, Michael?
<br />YEE: Yes, I did.
<br />CARR SMITH: Okay.
<br />YEE: That's, I can't give you a definitive, yes, I would initiate- action right away. Political realities
<br />is there are, there are priorities that I have to take ,care of between now and December. And so I
<br />can't give you a definitive answer on that.
<br />VITOUSEK: But, I mean, this, the follow-up, and you know, I understand we`are all on a timeline
<br />- - - that, but the next step generally would be to proceed,towards the zoning that's. more appropriate
<br />with the stale ordinance, right? So it'll either be the Planning` Department or the'owner coming back
<br />and applying for a zoning that's more appropriate. Is that correct?
<br />YEE: Correct.
<br />VITOUSEK: Okay: And'we, and -Lagree with`the Planning -Department; Neighborhood
<br />Commercial zoning is appropriate for that location:-
<br />CARR SMITH: --Sid.
<br />FUKE: - - -
<br />KAY: Unmute.
<br />CARR SMITH: -You. are muted. Sid, you are muted.
<br />FUKE: - - - so, if the'requests are "ultimately denied when we are at the County Council, then, you
<br />know, like, there are several options, you know: They could kind of like, the applicant could kind of
<br />go back again and request to -have a, do the same thing, you know, the same process; the other option
<br />is the applicant could submit an application to revoke the existing ordinances. If we revoke the
<br />existing ordinances, then you have the underlying zoning, which is Ag -5. So this is my, my point,
<br />and so then, given the frustration and, you know, of the owners, and given their age, then the easiest
<br />option for them is to just kind of withdraw, I mean, you know, like, not withdraw, submit an
<br />application to nullify these two ordinances, go back to Ag -5, they have these remaining, you know,
<br />three parcels, going for a typical five -acre lot subdivision, get in and out, sell it for like a high-end
<br />residential lot, Agricultural lot at the subdivision. Sad thing about it is that subsequent to the
<br />General Plan—I realize you're talking about time—but subsequent to the General Plan - - - and the
