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

Home

JACKSON: Yeah, Chair Vitousek, if I may? So the only change we are asking for is a change to the agenda. What happened was we put the agenda out, because it has to be released almost a month before the hearing, and then we made amendments to the bill that's before you in your recommendation report. So the background and recommendation report are accurate. So the amendment we would want to the agenda is on item 6 after the last word "the Planning Department,"we would also say, "and making clerical revisions to permitted uses in the Family Agricultural zoning district." So we are just adding that last statement to the agenda. VITOUSEK: And could you take us through what the clerical revision is so that we understand what substantive change is, if it— JACKSON: tJACKSON: Sure. So if you look at page 3 of the bill of your background and recommendation report, at the bottom of page 3 there is a section 8, and that entire section 8 was added. And so what that does is that it just fixes a clerical or typographical error that occurred when a previous bill went through council. You can see it says, "The following uses may be permitted in the FA district, provided that either a use permit is issued for each use if the building site is within the State land use Ag [agricultural] district or a special permit is issued for each use if the building site is within the State land use agricultural district." So it's just a change that needs to be, it's a fix that needs to be done, because when we, when the department sent a previous bill through, we accidentally changed that word from "outside"to "within," and that was in error. We superimposed the wording incorrectly. The code never had the word"within" in it; we accidentally added it. VITOUSEK: Okay, I see that, and I believe that that's not reasonably major importance. Commissioner Carr Smith. CARR SMITH: I'd like to make a motion that we amend agenda item number 6 as stated by Ms. Jackson. VITOUSEK: Motion has been made. Is there a second? NEWBERG: (Raises hand to second the motion) VITOUSEK: Oh, Commissioner Newberg, or Vice Chair Newberg, sorry. So, moved by Commissioner Carr Smith, second by Vice Chair Newberg. All those in favor? (Commissioners Carr Smith, Newberg, DeFranco, and Yates, and Chairman Vitousek raise their hands in favor.) VITOUSEK: One, two, three, four, five. Any opposed? VAN PERNIS: (Raises hand in opposition) 9 EXHIBIT A
