<br />PC-9 <br /> <br />FRIENDLY <br />AMENDMENT: <br /> <br />April 17, 2007 <br /> <br />MR. HIGA: Okay, thank you. <br /> <br />CHR. PILAGO: Ms. Ford? <br /> <br />MS. FORD: When I made the motion to send it to the Planning Commission, I <br />believe I left out the Planning Director. I'd like to amend my motion to include <br />the Planning Director. <br /> <br />CHR. PILAGO: Thank you very much. Is there a second? <br /> <br />MR. JACOBSON: Second. <br /> <br />CHR. PILAGO: Thank you, Mr. Jacobson. Mr. Hoffmann? <br /> <br />MR. HOFFMANN: I thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm going to,just to clarify for <br />my own edification, a question that Mr. Higa was raising. As I understand the <br />Charter, as we look at it, once the zoning changes, the proposed zoning changes <br />come back to us, since we voted it out of Committee, it goes back to Council. <br />There's nothing that prohibits the Council, at that time, if they felt it necessary, to <br />send it back to Committee, and I think that's the proper path that we have to take. <br />We should not allow either the Chair of the Councilor somebody else to the <br />direct the traffic, but that since it has already passed Committee at the moment, <br />the Planning Director and the Planning Commission are going to bring it back; it <br />comes back to the Council; if we feel it requires further work in the Committee, <br />we can always send it back there and discuss it further. <br /> <br />MS. JARMAN: And that's partially because I understand that there's an <br />interpretation that Council means the Council, not the Committee. <br /> <br />MR. HOFFMANN: Yeah. <br /> <br />MS. JARMAN: Which is why we want to go to Council after it comes from the <br />Planning Commission. <br /> <br />MR. HOFFMANN: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That's all; I just wanted to make <br />clear we---we sort of flip-flopped on some of these previously, and it's because <br />we haven't been down this path before. But, what, quite frankly, I don't want to <br />see the Chair assuming the responsibility to say, "Well, I'm going to send it back <br />to the Committee, or it should go one place and then the Council determine <br />whether it should go back to Committee or it should stay where it is for first <br />hearing." Thank you. <br /> <br />CHR. PILAGO: Where are we now, Ms. Clerk? <br /> <br />Page 47 <br />
