J Yoshimoto, Council Chair <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> Page 2 <br /> Council is advised that there exists a slight difference between the proposed ordinance relating to <br /> review of development projects within a special district approved by the Windward Planning <br /> Commission (WPC) and the Leeward Planning Commission (LPC). One hour before being <br /> considered by the Windward Planning Commission it came to the attention of the Planning <br /> Department that additional exclusionary language was necessary to avoid the potential for <br /> inadvertently impacting the status of the Kailua Village Design Commission, which is the only <br /> special district with adopted design guidelines currently established under Article 7, Chapter 25, <br /> HCC. While the necessary amending language presented to and accepted by the WPC for Section <br /> 25-2-71(h), the additional similar amending language to Section 25-6-7(a) that was presented to <br /> and accepted by LPC was not presented to the WPC. Given that the WPC approved the amending <br /> language to Section 25-2-71(h) and the basis for the amendment as stated above, we respectfully <br /> request that the Council accept the favorable recommendations of both the WPC and LPC for the <br /> version approved by the LPC. <br /> The draft bill is attached for your favorable consideration. We have also enclosed a copy of the <br /> Planning Director's Background and Recommendation, Powerpoint presentation and transcript of <br /> the hearing for your information. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Brandi K.
