• • 1 9 s ALAMEDA: Follow-up? YUEN: And we would look at that as basically okay while they were living on the property. And to give an example ofthis similar kind of accommodation, if a plumber has a van that has, you know, Al's Plumbing on the sign, the plumbing company is full o fplumbing equipment, and the person takes it home and parks it at their home in an RS zone, we do not cite people for that kind ofusage. It's a vehicle that they use at work but they also, it's also used as a personal vehicle that they may drive around in or they may go to and from work. So we don't look at that as a violation even in an RS zone. So I don't think we need to say anything specifically in the zoning conditions about that kind ofusage. But it needs to be, I think we do have an understanding here on the record that the'CN zoning does not authorize the use o f the site as a baseyard for buses. Then on the other issue, on the issues, you know, we did have complaints, we did cite the • complaints and they did establish a baseyard in an ML zone for the buses as a result of the complaints. I don't look at that as a failure o f our enforcement process. If there were other violations then we, ifwe have other complaints we will follow-up on those and investigate it and see if there was a violation. And then the final thing I did want to mention though that there has been this discussion ofthe, and this is a recurrent thing in the Waiakea House Lots area, a conflict between commercial and residential uses. The General Plan does identify the area as Medium Density Urban which opens the opportunity for commercial uses, that passed the County Council. There's also a course o f action in the General Plan that talks about Kekuanaoa Street being a site for a future commercial development; and that also passed the County Council in 2005 as a specific course o f action. ALAMEDA: Mr. Lim, response? • LIM: I guess it's finally, we'd like to give the Planning Commission the • applicant's commitment that they understand fully the ramifications of any ofthose mini busses coming onto the property. So we're going to take additional steps to make sure that that doesn't happen. We'd ask for your support ofthis rezoning. I,think Mr. Watanabe has a question. ALAMEDA: Okay. Sure, Mr. Watanabe, question for Mr. Lim or the Director? WATANABE:. Yeah, I have a question for Mr. Lim. Earlier I asked ifyou would agree or the applicant would agree to limiting subdivision or resubdivision to two parcels. And another thing has come up, maybe we can just change the zoning to CN-15 or something like that which automatically states that, given the lot size. LIM: We could agree to the first where there'd be no more than two lots on the rezoned property. We couldn't agree to the second cause that would require us to • reprocess the whole application. 24
