track here because we are getting into conversation. Let's just stay on point and just ask questions and keep with that. That we're here for a rezone, so thank you. REPLOGLE: Thank you, Mr. Au. Ms. Galimba, you have something? GALIMBA: Right, it's kind of a little bit of a follow on to Commissioner Au's comment. I wanted to just clarify. So, we are considering a rezone, we do have some plans that have been presented to us. So, I guess, my question is, so I guess first we're not approving the plan,just the rezone and so I wanted to ask they would come in for their site plan, and that would be approved by the department, or would they be coming back to the Commission? JACKSON: Chair Replogle, I can answer that. REPLOGLE: Okay. JACKSON: So, the Commission would be making a recommendation on the Change of Zone to the County Council and the County Council would decide whether to approve or deny it. Exhibit 2 of your background report shows all the permitted uses within a CV district. So, if it were approved any of those uses could be established. There's about forty-nine (49)uses that could be established on the property if it's approved. Then, when they come in for what's called a final Plan Approval, they submit that application to the Planning Department and it does not go back to the Commission or Council, this is an administrative approval done by the Department. Typically, if whatever uses proposed at that time is listed as a permitted use in the district and it meets all the code requirements for parking, setbacks,building heights, then the Department would issue the plan approval. GALIMBA: Thanks. So, would there be any opportunities for public discussion or input after this Change of Zone application? If it were approved by us and the Council? JACKSON: So currently we don't have a process in place for engaging the public with plan approvalsunless there's what's called a Special Design District. So Pahoa Village has created a Special Design District, so any plan approval in Pahoa Village goes through I believe is their Main Street-Pahoa Association for feedback. I know Volcano has talked about doing that,but I do not believe that they have`a design district in place at this time. So, the only opportunity for community feedback would be if the commission were to condition like recommend a condition that some type of community engagement occur before plan approval. However, that being said. Once the zoning is approved that community engagement couldn't limit the permitted uses within a district. So, the extent of the community engagement would have to do with how well the structure fits into the community character, rather than what the structure is used for. GALIMBA: Thank you. JACKSON: You're welcome. REPLOGLE: Mr. Clarkson? 5 EXHIBIT B (DRAFT)
