I The Planning Director's proposing these proposed amendments, that these proposed amendments be forwarded to the Planning, be forwarded to the Hawaii County Council, and that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation of the Planning Department exhibit number two. That concludes my presentation, and I can open up the floor to any questions. CARR. SMITH: Thank you, Tracie. Can you confirm whether this did go to the Windward Planning Commission since we saw you last, or not? CAMERO: Yeah, yes, so, the Windward Planning Commission,it did go to the Windward let ' me stop sharing my screen. It did go to the Windward Planning Commission, and what really happened within the past month is we toyed with kind of the idea,well we didn't toy with it, the Department reviewed a lot of the different versions that we could possibly go with this, and for the Windward Planning Commission, we had actually sent the original Planning Department exhibit one to the Windward Planning Commission, and they had given us a favorable recommendation on that version, and then coming into this meeting we really reviewed some of the transcripts, as well as the YouTube videos and we realized that that really wasn't an approach that we could take this medical clinic and massage and acupuncture, and when me and like Maija had discussed it, we had really found similarities in it that we agreed, and that's why you guys got the most recent Planning Department exhibit number two. So, we really agree that these uses do fit under the medical clinics so therefore,we really amended that to include it as a medical clinic. And then of course,cane of the major changes that was proposed in the last meeting was we are going to, that we'll move it out of the RM permitted zoned districts and it will require these uses to now come in and get a Use Permit for the zoned districts. So, I will have to take this new Planning Department exhibit number two, and I will have to it to the Windward Planning Commission at their December meeting. CARR SMITH: Got it. Okay,thank you. Commissioners? Go ahead Mike. VITOUSEK: I just want to add that I think this addresses the concerns that I had the last time about the ambiguity of the different groupings versus medical, versus other similar health activities. I think it's all included in one. I think that including them all under one grouping is more in line with the way that the medical practice is going in general, whereas traditional MD medical care is incorporating more holistic care, so I think this is going in the right direction and I support it. CARR SMITH: Thank you. Anyone else? Okay. My only comment is that 1, my only push back was that I had concern about making it harder for massage therapists, or physical therapists, or acupuncture, whatever, to practice their business, so. It will make them jump a few more hurdles, but I guess that's okay, so. Alright, anyone else? VITOUSEK: I— CARR. SMITH: Go ahead Mike. 3 EXHIBIT D
