Tracie. <br /> CAMERO: Good afternoon. <br /> CARR SMITH: Yay we get to see you without the sign in front of your face. Thank you for <br /> timing though. Go ahead. <br /> CAMERO: Good afternoon, Madam Chair, and members of the Planning Commission. As the <br /> Chair mentioned, this is a Planning Director initiated amendment relating to the time and <br /> revocation requirements for use permits. If you have any questions, please feel free to stop me at <br /> any time for clarification. Can you all see my screen? <br /> With this bill, the Planning Director's proposing four amendments. These amendments are <br /> simply to change the zoning code language with the language that is in our current Planning <br /> Commission rules of practices and procedures. Three of the four proposed amendments are <br /> within Section 25-2-64 of the Hawaii County Code. Amendment one will remove the <br /> requirement that the Commission shall either approve or deny a use permit application no later <br /> 1 <br /> EXHIBIT F <br />
