Kenoi, via Communication No. 671, dated <br /> April 11, 2012, is a Planning Director initiated ordinance amending Chapter 25, Article 2, <br /> Division 4 and Article 6, Divisions 4 and 5 of the Hawai`i County Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as <br /> amended), relating to notification requirements for Zoning amendment, Project District and <br /> Agricultural Project District Applications. Also enclosed was a favorable recommendation from <br /> the Windward Planning Commission Chair Zendo Kern and Leeward Planning Commission <br /> Chair Geraldine Giffin. <br /> Deputy Corporation Counsel Amy Self and Planner IV Maija Cottle were present in Hilo. <br /> Ms. Cottle stated that this bill was a housekeeping measure to fix the language in the Zoning <br /> Code relating to notification requirements for zoning amendment, project district and agricultural <br /> project district applications. She also added that it would clean up the Code and make it <br /> consistent with the change the County Council made in 2010. <br /> Council Member Ford asked for clarification on what"acknowledged receipt" means in regards <br /> to the number of days allowed to process an application. Ms. Cottle replied that Planning has ten <br /> days to either reject or accept the application. <br /> Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill 231, and <br /> recommends its passage on first reading. <br /> mkh <br /> AYES NOES A&E EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> BLAS X <br /> FORD X COMMITTEE ON PLANNING <br /> HOFFMANN X <br /> IKEDA X <br /> ONISHI X <br /> PILAGO x l 5� i <br /> SMART x PETE HOFFMANN, IR <br /> YAGONG X PC REPO' ► O _._...,___49- _ _. _.. _.__ <br /> YOSHIMOTO X i• 'TED: MAY 15 2012 <br />
