2021-05-20 Leeward Exh A (Discussion on amending agenda)

Home

VITOUSEK: Yep. Okay, carrying on to the last potential change to the agenda, it's item 6. Deputy Director Darrow, would you please take us through the planning director-initiated changes? DARROW: Thank you, Chair Vitousek. We, unbeknownst to us, we had a number of staff, as well as council aides, review a particular ordinance that went through both commissions and through council for approval regarding medical clinics and Use Permits, and this was about a month or two ago, and after everything was passed and ready to go into code, it was observed that there was just a very minor change to the wording of a particular section in the code. Although the wording is very minor in nature, the way, if it's applied, the way that it is presented, it would be incorrect. So it's just a minor change of a word, one word, and we are asking that the commission through the ability that Corporation Counsel had mentioned earlier, to be able to allow this through in this bill that we are working on. It, the way that it's added on to the agenda, is at the end it says, "and making clerical revisions to permitted uses in the Family Agricultural zoning district." It's the last section in the bill, Section—let's see, well, it's included in the bill—anyway, it's a particular word, it is from, changes it from "outside," or "within"to "outside" I need to look at that and just find out exactly where it is. But it's, we weren't able, what happened was we found out after the agenda was already released, and so we weren't able to amend the agenda. For the Windward Planning Commission we were able to ame-to get the correct agenda out. The reason why, I mean, it's not critical for this particular section to go through; the main thing that we are trying to do with this bill is make some minor changes to the rules regarding EnerGov, and we'll talk about that as we get there. But again, we are just requesting this minor addition to help us fix this issue that happened previously. Thank you. VITOUSEK: So, are you requesting an amendment to item 6 or are you requesting a new item to be heard regarding the change to the FA zoning? DARROW: It would be just an amendment to the agenda. VITOUSEK: I got that, but is that a change to agenda item 6 or is it a change adding a new agenda item? DARROW: No, no, it's just a change to agenda item 6. I'm trying to locate the—it's Section 8 within the ordinance. VITOUSEK: The ordinance that was included in our background? DARROW: Correct. So again, it's just, we had sent the ordinance to the commission after we made the changes, but we weren't able to agendize it with that addition once it was sent out. VITOUSEK: So, so I understand, the requested change is a minor revision to the ordinance that we have had submitted to us? Maija? 8 EXHIBIT A
