HOUSEL: Yeah. I wanted to get a clarification if I could. I’m not sure who should be the person to answer this. Maybe you can help me with it. One of the statements in the application was that this use does not conflict with the General Plan, although there is a conflict with the CDP. Is that true? Is that on the General Plan? Is its use consistent with the General Plan? WATANABE: I think I would refer to the, defer to the Director. IWASHITA: Mr. Chair, if I can -. My perspective on that concern from Commissioner Housel is that, you know, General Plan has multiple statements about all the different things that it wants to accomplish. The LUPAG Map would be the most relevant part of all of this, which is Low Density Urban. That’s why we have to have this proceeding, right, in order to have the permit. So, to me, I really looked at the Community Development Plan as a process where the community gets involved; and you’ll make it, frankly, you’ll make my job easier because the community looks at this, they say this is what we want. If they need to come to us, they came to us like today unanimous saying this is what we’d like, who are we to stand in the way is basically how I look at it. So that would be how I would address the General Plan concerns, because CDP is to implement what the General Plan, the general nice words in the General Plan. So it’s more specific and controlled. SIRACUSA: Point of order. You’re discussing it and the motion before -. WATANABE: But it’s closed. SIRACUSA: But your motion, you’re discussing the motion before you call the applicant back. That’s out of order. Point of order. WATANABE: Well, in a sense, yeah, because I was really anticipating going to lunch and then I got bushwacked along the way; and about one hour later, from the time we anticipated going to lunch, now we’re here. Do you have comments since you’re up? You’re the applicants. QUINN: Yeah, Mona? I really don’t have any comments. HYATT: Well, looking at it it’s agricultural based. And like they wanted to deny the, on what we were requesting as professional and retail space will accommodate something that they might want to do. Having the certified kitchen will accommodate the agricultural community. And I’m asking for, I asked for all of those things in the initial application. WATANABE: Well, any further questions? IWASHITA: So I just, you’re okay with the 8 o’clock to 5:30 p.m. operation? You don’t have to in, go 7 o’clock to get things going? 18 EXHIBIT B
