Mr. Jacobsen also pointed out that the Council can always repeal this <br /> amendment if necessary, if there are problems that result from the increased number. <br /> Council Vice Chair Isbell emphasized that these are group homes are licensed by the State Department of <br /> Health and that this amendment is long overdue. She noted the amendment only addresses rehabilitative <br /> group homes, not any single-family residence which does not mean that 13 people will move in next door. <br /> Ms. Isbell requested that Director Yuen post educational information regarding this bill on the County <br /> website. <br /> Director Yuen explained that the County of Hawaii was slow to implement this zoning amendment, <br /> whereas the other counties have already made similar amendments to their codes. The Director admitted <br /> that our county was "slow" to implement this change. <br /> Your Committee on Planning concurs with the Planning Director's favorable recommendation for <br /> approval of the amendment to the Zoning Code. <br /> Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 345 and recommends it <br /> pass first reading. <br /> and <br /> nxES roES A&E ex Respectfully submitted, <br /> ARAKAHI X <br /> HIGA X COMMITTEE ON PLANNING <br /> HOFFMANN X <br /> HOLSCHUH X <br /> IICEDA X L <br /> ISBELL X <br /> JACOBSOIV X K ANGEL PILAGO, CHAIR <br /> pu,A~ X PC REPORT NO. 128 <br /> SAFARIx x ADOPTEn: MAR 0 g 2~~7 <br /> <br />
