the photo on the right. This is the driveway access that they proposed to keep for full access to the site. Based on the preceding, the Planning Director does recommend that the Commission forward a favorable recommendation to the County Council for Change of Zone application number 21- 247. And with that I will turn it back over to you Chair Replogle. REPLOGLE: Thank you, Mr. Cook. We will now have the applicant's presentation, Mr. Fuke for the applicant and possibly Leila Shimizu will also be joining him. Have you received the background recommendation from the Planning Department, and do you agree with the Director's recommendation including the proposed conditions? FUKE: Good morning, again, Mr. Chairman and members of the Commission. This is the first time I'm meeting Eric Cook in person so, hi Eric nice meeting you. COOK: Nice to meet you. FUKE: I'd like to also acknowledge the presence of the applicant Leila Shimizu and she'll be available only to answer questions if there are any. But I've had a chance to discuss in detail the staff's proposed recommendation, as well as the conditions and they found them totally acceptable. The background report as always was very comprehensive. I have very little to add, except to just provide you with some little bit more background to the reason behind this request. Ms. Shimizu is one of three siblings, surviving siblings of the property. The parents recently passed away so, now the question becomes how to best utilize the land. And so, then I had discussion with the members of the family and the decision was to proceed with this Change of Zone. The initial intent was to possibly convert the existing dwelling into like some office space or whatever have you and eventually making it possible for some alternative uses in the future. As a result, the proposed site plan basically reflects the conversion of the existing dwelling into some office type of use or uses consistent with the MCX zoning. But your conditions kind of reflects those kinds of accommodations so we are appreciative. If there any other questions that Commissioners may have, we would be more than willing to answer. REPLOGLE: Thank you, Mr. Fuke. Fellow Commissioners any questions for the applicant? Okay, Commissioners I will entertain a motion for action? LIN: Chair Replogle I'll make a motion. REPLOGLE: Please. LIN: I move that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council on the application for a Change of Zone Docket Number REZ 21-000247, based on the Planning Director's recommendation, which shall be adopted. RAFFIPIY: Second. 3 EXHIBIT C
