in one place. They also did not want to mix employee parking with the retail parking out in that front area. So, again, that was what was intended, what is intended. ALAMEDA:Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA:I see, I was just sort of looking for a win-win situation here where we could retain two affordable housing units and say accommodate the plans that you wanted. Because if you extended the employee parking along the Laukapu end and still had the lower part in, you know, for recreational use, you could always separate it out with a planting screen, or even a low stonewall and a planting screen. Thats, you know, thats doable and would allow for both. Im just trying to figure out a way that all of this can happen at the same time and addressing all those concerns. ALAMEDA:Thank you, Commissioner Siracusa. Let me go to Commissioner Salavea andthenCommissionerGraham.CommissionerSalavea. SALAVEA:Ihaveaquestionfortheapplicant,butpriortothatIdjustliketoget clarification from Norman. The big open area on the upper left-hand part, that is currently designated on the General Plan as, or is it currently designated on the General Plan as High Density? HAYASHI:That is correct. Its designated for High Density as well as zoned for General Commercial. SALAVEA:And it is, all right. And then for the area on the bottom right-hand corner where the houses currently exists, to do such a, to do landscaping of that nature that theyre proposing, does it need to be in, does the designation in the General Plan need to be changed to High Density, along with the zoning change to CG? HAYASHI:Well, I think this would be the overall development of the Big Island Candies facility. Therefore, to include that, or not to rezone that property or change the General Plan -. SALAVEA:Could they do the landscaping without the -? HAYASHI:See, they cannot have any commercial-related aspect to that property since the property would be zoned for Single-Family Residential use. So, yes, I guess, my response would be, yes, they need to have it changed. SALAVEA:Okay, okay. Okay, my question for the applicant now is, from my perspective, and Ill be candid, is -. Im seeing a lot of areas being put into High Density Urban uses with very few, lets say, infrastructure developments, like buildings and then that sort of, you know, for Industrial use, for a higher use, parking area and theres no structures going up. And I guess my great concern is that if permitted and the General Plan designations go through and the zoning changes are made that I see later on we may be, and Im not saying that you would do this, but later on wed be open to a lot more development because of everything being in place in terms of the zoning changes and the General Plan changes. And thats my great fear. Because of the surrounding nature of that neighborhood, Id hate to see, you know, 10 years 20EXHIBIT C
