i i 3 Department staff is taking this opportunity to rectify the conflict and discrepancies with the parking section of our Code. Which leads us to the last proposed amendment number three(3), which is proposing to add off-street parking requirements for commercial uses within the RS, RD, and RM zoning. Again, these proposed amendments are to better define these uses and clarifying which zoning districts these uses will be permitted with a Use Permit or be allowed as an outright permitted use. Therefore, the Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation of the Planning Department Exhibit 2 to the -Iawai`i County Council. With that, that concludes my presentation, and I can open up the floor to any discussion. RAFFIPIY: Thank you very much Tracie appreciate the presentation. Any questions from the Commissioners? CLARKSON: Yes, I have— RAFFIPIY: Go ahead Joe. CLARKSON: — I have a question for the Director. What is the background problem or issue that has driven this proposed change and definition? YEE: It came from various applicants coming to us, but Jeff Darrow has the most experience with these kinds of issues and DARROW: Aloha, Joe. Commissioner Clarkson. What happened basically is we were trying to, we had received a number of requests for massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture type businesses and basically,they were falling under the definition of personal service uses. But the reason why this is coming back to the Commission. This is our second time bringing it is before we had separated those uses out and identified them on their own. When we went before the Leeward Planning Commission, they struggled with that and felt like it would be more appropriate, and it was more in line to be placed under the medical clinic definition rather than separating them. Even though Windward Planning Commission voted favorably to send up the original bill the Director agreed that it made sense to just put those uses together with medical clinic and make it very clear whether you're a doctor, a dentist, or you're a massage therapist or a chiropractor, acupuncture, or any other new type of health-related service that comes forward. It would go through a similar process of a Use Permit within certain districts or it would be outright permitted where a medical clinic was permitted. Mainly, in the Commercial zoning districts and some of the other districts. But that's the purpose of bringing this bill back to the Commission is to bring it in line with the medical clinic and clarify the process to become either permitted through a Use Permit or an outright permitted use. RAFFIPIY: Thank you Mr. Darrow. Any other questions, any other follow-up questions? DARROW: Joe, you might be on mute sorry about that. EXHIBIT A(DRAFT) 3
