and looking at clientele, and, you know, if that's who you want to market this stuff, if that's your market, then you have to provide that accommodation, likewise whether it's for like handicap, additional handicap requirements or like EVso, but at this point in time it's not a mandate, and it's really like at the discretion of the developer to provide. VAN PERNIS: Thank you. VITOUSEK: Is that all your questions, Commissioner Van Pernis. VAN PERNIS: That's it. VITOUSEK: Okay, thank you. Commissioner Armbruster. ARMBRUSTER: Hi there. Christian, this is probably a question for you. Is there anything that's changed in the code in the process since this was originally granted that would prevent an SMA, prevent this SMA from being granted today, if it were a new application? KAY: No. So just to give you an idea of what our process is, on amendments is, we look at them, even though it's not a new application, we kind of look at them as it were a new application; we look at all the same information. One of the criteria is, you know, is it consistent with the original reasons for granting the permit in the first place? So we go back and we take a look at condition compliance to this point. We take a look to see if there has been any significant changes. You know, the Kona CDP was granted in 2008; there is nothing in the CDP that would preclude this amendment or the development of the project in this area. So, yeah, I mean, as we look at amendments, we don't just look at it as what's being asked; we kind of go back and review the record and see, you know, what if anything, what of any changes there have been that would require additional conditions and/or would necessitate a denial recommendation. In this case, it's, if the applicant would have come with a brand-new application, you know, today, we would look at the same things, and I think the approval would be, the recommendation would still be an approval. ARMBRUSTER: Thank you. And then, for the applicant, I'm assuming this is a hundred percent market-rate housing that you are proposing? FUKE: These are going to be like condominium units. ARMBRUSTER: Is there any, any thought of affordable housing or any affordable housing offsets that the developer is proposing? FUKE: There is no affordable housing requirement, and at this point in time I don't know whether the developer has any plans to assign any units for affordable housing. Normally, affordable housing requirements are associated with any change of zone. I think, as what Christian had mentioned, this is already a zoned property for a number of years, and we are just coming in for an SMA permit and trying to address all of the criteria and guidelines for issuance of an SMA permit, which are different from the criteria and guideline for issuing a rezoning application, for example. 12 EXHIBIT D
