And, with that, I'll just reiterate that the Planning Director is recommending forwarding a
<br />favorable recommendation for amendments to Condition C, D, F, H, and N, and forwarding an
<br />unfavorable recommendation for the Applicant's request of deletion of Condition E. That was a
<br />lot. With that, I'd be happy to answer any questions the Commission may have.
<br />CLARKSON: Any questions for staff from the Commissioners?
<br />RAFFIPIY: Mr. Chairman, I do have a question. So, so there are, there are studies out there
<br />right now? Or report that are at the agencies right now that they're still reviewing?
<br />KAY: The—the TIAR that came in 2019, yes, they're still looking at, yeah, that came in a few
<br />weeks ago, they're still looking at
<br />RAFFIPIY: Right—
<br />KAY: —and reviewing. That's correct. So, what's interesting about that, and I noted it in the
<br />report is for the most part, the TIAR that came a couple weeks ago was identical to the TIAR that
<br />came back in 2017 using all the same traffic counts and most of the same analysis. The
<br />information that was updated was information around the new site plan, and the new proposed
<br />striping and everything like that. Because DOT had issues with the first TIAR that came in, and
<br />because the TIAR is roughly the same, we wanted to make sure that the agencies had an
<br />opportunity to review them and offer appropriate mitigation. With that said, DOT, in the interim
<br />on the second TIAR that would have allowed for the greater access off from Puainako, approved
<br />that one as well. We just want to make sure that they have an opportunity to approve of this one,
<br />the most recent one, and provide appropriate mitigation measures that we make sure are installed
<br />prior to occupancy of the new development.
<br />RAFFIPIY: So, basically the Director will not change his recommendation after, basically, you
<br />know, after the review, the agencies were able to review the latest TIAR.
<br />KAY: Yeah, I'm not, I'm not sure how long they'll take to review it, and I'm not sure if there is
<br />going to be any more back and forth, so we're, we just conditioned it such that prior to, prior to
<br />Plan Approval that review and recommendation period was taking place and then prior to
<br />occupancy, all of the mitigation measures that were approved were installed. Again, based on
<br />that last point of, you know, in the future, too, this is a commercially -zoned property. AutoZone
<br />could want to expand or they could sell it to another buyer, and they could want to expand or add
<br />another structure on the property and things like that. If we delete this condition right now, then
<br />it's not there for any of these subsequent possibilities in the future. So, we just want to cover all
<br />bases, and that's why we feel it's important to keep this condition.
<br />RAFFIPIY: Thank you.
<br />KAY: Thank you.
<br />RAFFIPIY: Appreciate it.
