Communication 1300 • Bill 318 Page 2 of 6 • than nine additional lots per lot on record, and lots greater than 100 acres to be downzoned to Agricultural 10-acres. 4. Corrects the first sentence in the second paragraph on page 5-1 1 to refer to "Royal Hawaiian" Estates and not Maunaloa Estates. Communication 1300 also notes the Planning Commission's proposed amendments to the Puna Community Development Plan, as follows: 1. Include the Working Group papers and recommendations as an appendix for the purpose of information, intent and guidance on implementing future decision-making. 2. The "Regional Town Center" and "Village Center" maps be corrected to show current zoning and recommended zoning changes. 3. A "Native Hawaiian Implementation Committee' be formed, which may include representation from the Kanaka Council as well as other groups. At the July I, 2008, Committee on Planning meeting, numerous public testimonies received expressing the sentiment that given the Puna community's diligence in developing the Puna CDP and the 5,000-plus man hours of work involved, that the Puna CDP should be approved in its current form without amendments. Committee Chair Pilago recognized CDP representatives Nancy Pisicchio (North and South Kona), Alan Salavea (North and South Kohala) and John Olson (Puna). Corporation Counsel Amy Self presented a brief breakdown of the CDP amendment process noting that Council amendments to the Puna CDP, if substantive, must be forwarded to the Planning Commission and the CDP Steering Committee for comments, pursuant to Section 15.1 of the Hawaii County General Plan. Council Chair Hoffmann clarified that il' adopted by the Council, the proposed amendments submitted by both planning Director and the Planning Commission would have to go back to the Steering Committee, but only the four amendments proposed by the Planning Director required submittal to both the Planning Commission and the Steering Committee. Committee Chair Pilago noted there were approximately forty or more proposed amendments for consideration before the committee and that it would be impossible to discuss all the proposed amendments during this Committee on Planning meeting. Mr. Pilago noted that there was however, a structural and procedural amendment that should be considered at this time. Director Yuen clarified that procedural amendments set forth in Communication 1300.3 provides that the Puna CDP be attached as an appendix to 13111 318 rather than as a separate communication. Mr. Yuen also explained that because the amendment only changes the verbage of the enacting ordinance and not the plan itself, it did not require review by the Planning Commission and the Steering Committee. A motion to amend 13111 318 with Communication 1300.3 was thereafter approved. PC Report No. 89
