Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii Page 5 Applicant's Requested Amendment of Condition I Condition I: A detailed Master Plan of the Project District, which includes the location and number of residential lots and units, commercial units, open space and recreational areas, pedestrian pathways and bikeways, landscaping, roadways, parking, and other related improvements on the property, shall be submitted to the Planning Director within two (2)years from the effective date of the Project District Ordinance or prior to submission of plans for plan approval or subdivision approval, whichever occurs first. Upon request by the applicant,the Master Plan may be amended by the Planning Director from time to time to accommodate evolving land use concepts,topographic/physical conditions, cost, and related matters to assure the orderly and timely implementation of the Project District. Applicant's Reasons for Amending Condition I The applicant requests to amend Condition Ito clarify the Master Plan amendment process. The applicant submitted a Master Plan that was approved by the Planning Director on December 15, 2011 in conformance with Condition I. The current application includes a new Master Plan reflective of the amendments being requested. The applicant is requesting to have the ability to amend the Master Plan in the future administratively with approval by the Planning Director, rather than legislatively with approval by the County Council. Planning Director's Recommendation for Amending Condition I The Planning Director is supportive of the applicant's request to amend the Master Plan administratively so long as the changes do not significantly differ from the original Master Plan that was vetted by the community and County Council at public hearings and is not contrary to the Project District Ordinance. Additionally, the applicant has not provided a phasing plan for the most recent proposed Master Plan and therefore it is recommended that the applicant provide a revised Master Plan with this information for approval. Thus the following language is recommended by the Director for Condition I: "A revised detailed Master Plan of the Project District, [which includes the location and number of residential lots and units, commercial uses, open space and recreational areas, pedestrian pathways and bikeways, landscaping, roadways, parking, and other related improvements on the property,] shall be submitted to the Planning Director within two (2) years from the effective date of the amended Project District Ordinance or prior to submission of plans for plan approval or subdivision approval, whichever occurs first.
