YUEN:The parcel is -.
<br />HUNTER:Its that big one there.
<br />YUEN:This is the parcel, right?
<br />HUNTER:Thats the parcel.
<br />YUEN:All right, all right. You see, I would not, I mean -.
<br />HUNTER:Go for it, Chris -.
<br />YUEN:Well, I dont know. I -.
<br />GRAHAM:Iwouldthinkthattheoperativeissuewouldbeisifsomebodywantedto
<br />go in and make Ag-1 acre parcels there, would you require them to do a General Plan
<br />Amendment?
<br />YUEN:No.
<br />GRAHAM:So then maybe we should change the General Plan so that in fact they
<br />would need to do that.
<br />YUEN:Well, no, because its zoned. I say no because of the zoned Ag-1. Now
<br />lets, you know, for the State to do a housing project in there, theres a series of steps that would
<br />have to happen. They would have to do an environmental impact statement, theres a series of
<br />things. But say if it was a private piece of property that was zoned Ag-1 and somebody came in
<br />to subdivide it, all right, we would let them do the subdivision based on the zoning, regardless of
<br />what the General Plan designation was, because theyre zoned for that particular use.
<br />So Im not enthusiastic about trying, you know, in the course, let me give you an example. In
<br />the course of doing a community development plan, my hope is that the community development
<br />plans will take a really hard look at an area like this; and they might say we want to stop the
<br />Urban area of Waimea at the existing, at the top of the subdivided lots here. All right? But in
<br />doing a General Plan, all youre, what this signifies in the General Plan is that theres an area
<br />around the existing area of Waimea shown in yellow, roughly, into which further Low Density
<br />Urban Expansion can occur; and the specifics of that are decided at a zoning level. So leaving
<br />aside, you know, is it a good thing or a bad thing? All right, to do this, just on a General Plan
<br />level if somebody came in right here, all right, just outside the yellow, you would say that could
<br />be considered Low Density Urban, because its not meant to be a line that you precisely scale off
<br />like this. You know, when these things were, Waimea is not the best example because we did
<br />make some changes in 2005. But there are areas where we made no changes in 2005 from 1989
<br />and in turn not changed since 1971. They were not done, laid out, they were not plotted against a
<br />layer of parcels like youre seeing here. All right? The General Plan when it was done in 1971,
<br />and redone in 1989, and for the most part in 2005 were, theres a general area of uses, like a
<br />general area around Waimea town, thats for the expansion of Waimea town. It was not laid out
<br />to say, oh, exactly, you know, 400 feet from this lot line is going to be the town limits and thats
<br />it. They were never done with the idea of that being that exact. So that being the case, I would
