Bayfront and Waiakea Peninsula area and those areas that pertain to our agency here. So please, <br /> go ahead. <br /> MORRISON: Aloha, thank you folks so much for having me today. My name is Bethany <br /> Morrison. I'm a Long Range planner with the County of Hawaii Planning Department, and I <br /> just wanted to come and provide to you where we are with the General Plan update. The draft <br /> has been released and so there's some information pertinent to Banyan Drive for you folks to <br /> take a look at and provide your input. <br /> The General Plan is the County's long-range policy document that guides the future of our island <br /> for the next 25 years. It's established both in Hawaii Revised Statutes and in our County Charter <br /> that we have to have this document, and it really provides priorities and guides any land use <br /> decisions; they need to be consistent with that General Plan. <br /> At this time Ms. Morrison provided a PowerPoint presentation of the General Plan updates and <br /> opened herself up for questions from the Agency. <br /> DELIMA: I have some questions.

We wanted to provide some <br /> commercial ability for that to be used in a commercial way. And then the Ice House, we wanted <br /> to put that into a commercial use so that he can make it palatable so it can function. <br /> MORRISON: Okay. <br /> DELIMA: And I like the idea of a special design district so that they can be compatible with the <br /> area. I think that's a really good idea so that those people can do a commercial activity but it has <br /> to be compatible. So I think that's a great idea. And then we had along Kanoelehua some more <br /> commercial space, which you <br /> MORRISON: Maybe this one over here. <br /> DELIMA: Right.
