<br /> <br /> <br /> Communication 218 <br /> Bill 56 <br /> <br /> the change of zone. Lastly, the proposed request will not unreasonably burden public <br /> agencies to provide for infrastructure and utilities to the project site. <br /> Based on the above findings, the proposed amendment to Condition B and Condition D of <br /> <br /> Ordinance Nos. 00-31 is not contrary to the original reasons for approving the Change of Zone. <br /> At the April 7, 2009 Planning Committee meeting, there was no public testimony. The <br /> applicant, Georgina Hara Chun was present at the meeting. Under questioning by Council <br /> Member Pete Hoffmann, Ms. Chun explained the reason for asking for a 5-year extension. She <br /> stated the following reasons: a great amount of infrastructure was done; the adjacent lot had to <br /> be rezoned; she is currently in the process of consolidating the lots; and multiple surveys had to <br /> be done. Ms. Chun further stated that Ordinance 00-31 requires that her building be completed <br /> and occupied by April 2010. Ms. Chun informed your Committee that the completion deadline <br /> for the adjacent property was 2013, and she wanted to have the completion deadline for the two <br /> parcels to be the same, especially in light of the consolidation of the lots. <br /> <br /> Council Member Brenda Ford asked Norman Hayashi from the Planning Department why <br /> Condition M did not include the County Council. Ms. Ford stated that she wants the County <br /> Council to have the power to approve or deny time extension requests, not the Planning <br /> Commission. Ms. Ford asked Mr. Hayashi to draft the amendment. <br /> <br /> Committee Chair Donald Ikeda asked Mr. Hayashi why a fair share provision was included in <br /> this commercial application. Mr. Hayashi informed your Committee that it is standard procedure <br /> to include fair share language, in the event that the developer or subsequent developers decide to <br /> build residential units instead or, or in addition to, a commercial unit. <br /> <br /> Your Committee concurs with the Planning Commission and the Planning Director's favorable <br /> recommendation for approval of the Time Extension request. <br /> <br /> Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 56 and <br /> recommends it pass first reading. <br /> <br /> awm <br /> <br /> <br /> AYES NOES A&E Ex Respectfully submitted, <br /> ENRIQUES X <br /> FORD X COMMITTEE ON PLANNING <br /> GREENWELL X <br /> HOFFMANN X <br /> IKEDA X <br /> NAEOLE X DONALD IKEDA, CHAIR <br /> ONISHI X <br /> YAGONG X PC REPORT NAppp 26 <br /> YOSHIMOTO X ADOPTED: ~'+'n L CUU7 <br />
