depends on the zoning. You cannot pass an SMA permit that is inconsistent with the zoning. So any action today on the SMA permit has to be contingent on the Council taking some consistent action on the zoning at some future time, extending the zoning to -, in the case of what the applicant is now asking for, approving a zoning which would allow a development of at least 25 lots on the property. And if the Council does not do that, does not pass a zoning that allows at least 25 lots, then any SMA permit which, if the Planning Commission were to take action on it, then becomes null and void. If the Council for example passes a zoning that allows only 7 lots on the property, then I think obviously this SMA permit, if the Planning Commission today passes an SMA permit for 25 lots, that has to be null and void. And I want to make sure that we are all on the same page with that. So that’s actually a question for Mr. Lim. LIM: My position would be if the Planning Commission passes an SMA permit for 25 lots and the County Council then essentially revokes the Change of Zone and adopts a new Change of Zone Ordinance, we would have to follow the Change of Zone Ordinance. YUEN: Okay, that’s fine. Then with that understanding and, I hope, with some clarifying language in the SMA permit, should the Commission vote in favor of -, to grant an SMA permit along the lines that the applicant is asking for, I’m fine with the Commission going ahead and taking action on the SMA permit today. LIM: We’ve had Condition No. 2 that’s proposed in the SMA permit that makes the effective date of the SMA permit, the effective date of the amendment to the Change of Zone Ordinance No. 97-102. YUEN: When the time comes, I’ll probably suggest something a little bit more definitive in the wording. But what Mr. Lim just said a minute ago is also fine, as far as putting an understanding on the record of what the effect of passing an SMA permit would be today. In other words, it basically depends upon, if the Commission were to pass it, it would depend upon further action by the Council. If the Council then passes a zoning that’s consistent, then the SMA permit would take effect and would not have to come back to the Planning Commission. If the Council passes -, the Council eventually has to pass some zoning for the property; this cannot go on forever with nothing in place. But if it does not allow the development along the scope envisioned by this SMA permit, then basically a re-application would have to take place; there would be no SMA permit. RHO: Yes, Commissioner Siracusa. SIRACUSA: Based on what the Director has said, I would like to ask Mr. Torigoe for some guidance here. Should we make three separate motions on 1, 2a and 2, and if so, in what order? Or should a motion include all three no matter what kind of motion it is, up or down? I’m asking about the process here. TORIGOE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Basically, the Chairperson mentioned earlier that we’d probably want to take the rezoning matter first, 2a, just because the SMA permit ought to be consistent with whatever the zoning is. So you know, that’s probably a good place to start. And generally speaking, yeah, I would recommend that there be a separate motion on each of these just for clarity sake. EXHIBIT A 20
