The <br /> proposed amendment (Bill No. 79 Draft 2) would increase the number of public parking spaces <br /> for various establishments. <br /> GRAHAM: Will the meeting of the Hawaii County Planning Commission <br /> come back to order, please? Our agenda begins with No. 6 on our list here, which is a public <br /> heazing on an amendment to Chapter 25 of the Zoning Code relating to off-street parking and <br /> loading. The proposed amendment which was initiated by the County Council would increase <br /> the number of public pazking spaces for various establishments. The presentations on 6, 7 and 8 <br /> coming up here now, I think our Planning Director, Mr. Yuen, will make to the Commission. So <br /> Chris, whenever you are ready to start, we aze ready to go. I also might say on this Item No. 6, I <br /> don't have any public testifiers yet, but if anybody wants to testify from the public, please go up <br /> to the end of the table there and sign in for that. <br /> YUEN: This agenda item concerns a Council initiated change to the <br /> Zoning Code, the parking requirements. Now normally the Commission deals with changes of <br /> zone. But the Zoning Code also has a lot of development standazds; and one of the development <br /> standards is number of required off-street parking places for different types of development. So <br /> the way this works is that when plans are brought in to the Planning Department for plan <br /> approval, the Department checks the number of required parking stalls against the Zoning Code. <br /> 1 <br /> <br />
