TAKEMOTO:Its Special Management Area that relates to the shoreline. MESSICK:If I might quote the Rule 9. It says, A substantial adverse effect is determined by specific circumstances of the proposed use, activity or operation. I think that parking substantially affects the economic and social welfare of the activities of the community, county and state regarding the people that live in that particular area. It also involves secondary impacts such as population changes, effects on public facilities of which parking is one. And it has cumulatively, has considerable adverse effect upon the environment or involves a commitment for larger, Im trying to see which one I was looking at in particular -. But I think all of those items can be addressed with the parking problem. SPRINGER:Mr. Takemoto, could you respond to Mr. Messicks comments on this section of the rules and how the Planning Department applies them and offers recommendations. TAKEMOTO:Okay,Mr.Messick,IthinkthisToplisscourtdecisionthatwe,counsel briefed us just recently applies here because parking goes like traffic, beyond the objectives and policies of the special management area permit. This was, this whole thing was designed to protect coastal resources. So were getting into that kind of out of bounds area. MESSICK:I dont believe parking is traffic. You know, parking, the effect of this additional demand for on-street parking that doesnt exist means that people that need that on- street parking are going to be parking blocks away. They have to walk -. TAKEMOTO:Yeah, but what coastal resource is being impacted? MESSICK:No comment. SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Messick. Are there any other questions for Mr. Messick from the Commissioners? Mr. Messick, Mr.Torigoe has queried whether or not you filed any exceptions on the Hearings Officers report. We have the petition before us. MESSICK:None. SPRINGER:Mr. Torigoe, do you have any follow up questions? TORIGOE:None. SPRINGER:Thank you, sir. Members, if there are no further questions for discussion with Mr. Messick, thank you for coming forward to the table, sir. Commissioners, were at the point in our discussion where we can reverse, we can modify the, what is before us. Is there any intent to do so? We already have from the Planning Director a recommendation for amendment to Finding 54.
