HAYASHI:Yes. That used to be Orchids of Hawaii. <br />MCCALL:Orchids, that€s right, that€s right. <br />HAYASHI:Yes. So that was, well, actually itwas a nonconforming use way back for <br />several years. <br />MCCALL:Yeah, but it was zoned RS-10 at that point, is that right? <br />HAYASHI:That€s correct, yes. <br />MCCALL:And we have the church that€s their RS-10 property with a use permit. <br />Are there any other parcels around there that have, that are commercial but without Commercial <br />zoning?IknowtheoldHiloMowersandSawsisalittlefartheraway.That€sanotherblock <br />away. But I€m trying to remember if there€s anything else over there. <br />HAYASHI:I can€t recall if there are lands in this particular area that are used for <br />commercial purposes that are currently zoned for single family residential purposes. But there <br />are other commercial activities within these areas here indicated in red or orange, I guess. Like <br />Don€s Grill is located in this general area. There are some apartments here and several other <br />commercial establishments. <br />MCCALL:Thank you. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you, Commissioner McCall. Commissioner Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA:Yeah. I just wanted to clarify my understanding of something, that the <br />General Plan was amended a while back in order to allow a change of zone from Low Density to <br />High Density Urban, is that what you said? <br />HAYASHI:Yes. <br />SIRACUSA:And now the Director is planning to put through another amendment to the <br />General Plan specifically to accommodate this parcel that€s under consideration today. Is that <br />correct, Director Yuen? <br />HAYASHI:Well, it€s not only for those two properties. Based on the map in the <br />General Plan proposal, it shows other properties abutting the existing facility proposed for High <br />Density Urban. <br />YUEN:If I can explain, this has to do with the -. The underlying issue here is the <br />integration of the General Plan and the Zoning Code. A manufacturing type facility like this <br />would be possible in a Light Industrial -. They have both manufacturing and retail sales here. <br />The manufacturing side is, if you look at the Zoning Code, perhaps unfortunately, it cannot be <br />done in a CN or a CV zone. All right? It needs to be in a CG zone or General Commercial zone, <br />which by practice of the, if you read how the Zoning Code works and the General Plan, the CG <br />zone should go in a High Density area. A CN zone could go in a Medium Density area. Now <br />6EXHIBIT C <br /> <br />
