option. Lastly, we are going to add indoor amusement and recreational facility as a permitted
<br />use in the Neighborhood Commercial, Limited Industrial, and General Industrial zoning districts.
<br />So, we'll begin with amendment number 1. This is relating to Use Permits, and again, this is to
<br />take out the Single -Family, Double -Family, and Multiple -Family option to get a Use Permit for a
<br />major outdoor amusement and recreational facility. It's defined in the Zoning Code as a
<br />permanent facility providing outdoor amusement and entertainment including theme and other
<br />types of amusement parks, stadiums, skateboard parks, go-cart and automobile race tracks,
<br />miniature golf, and drive-in theaters.
<br />The next section 25-2-61 just identifies this simple change that the Director is doing to this
<br />section to be able to make this change. The purpose of the amendment will, is to remove the
<br />option for allowing the major outdoor amusement and recreational facilities in the RS, RD, and
<br />RM zonings with the approval of a Use Permit. The reason for the change is that from the time
<br />the Zoning Code was amended, which the last amendment was over 20 years ago in December of
<br />1996, until the present day, it doesn't appear that there has been any approval for a Use Permit to
<br />allow major outdoor amusement and recreational facilities within these residential zoning
<br />districts.
<br />Upon further review of these options, the Planning Director is recommending that these options
<br />be removed as they are not compatible with the residential zoning districts. Additionally, the
<br />Planning Director feels that there are other more compatible zoning districts that would continue
<br />to allow a major outdoor amusement and recreational facility with a Use Permit, including RCX,
<br />which is Residential – Commercial, Commercial – Neighborhood, General Commercial, Village
<br />Commercial, Commercial Industrial Mix, Limited Industrial, General Industrial, and Open
<br />Districts.
<br />Amendment number 2—let me go back. Chairman, did you have a question?
<br />CLARKSON: I did. I'm just curious about the—let's just say, for example, two skate parks.
<br />One was constructed in the Waimea Park Complex, and one was just recently constructed in the
<br />Honoka`a Park Complex.
<br />DARROW: Correct.
<br />CLARKSON: What, do you know what those were zoned?
<br />DARROW: I believe both of the—well, the Waimea one, I believe, is in the Open zoning
<br />district, and it was part of a park. So, those kind of situations, that would be an accessory use to
<br />the park.
<br />The one in Honoka`a, I believe, is connected to the school. Again, it's kind of part of, isn't there
<br />a school right there next door to it?
<br />CLARKSON: Well, no, the school is a quarter of a mile away.
