PD BACKGROUND & RECOMMENDATION REPORT (PL-CCI-2022-002)

Home

40+ years this standard administrative time extension condition has been recommended to be included in rezone ordinances by the Planning Directors and Planning Commissions and has been consistently adopted by the County Council. Unless there is a compelling reason to change this current practice, the current Planning Director will continue to recommend this condition be included in rezone ordinances and the County Council can continue to exercise their authority to remove the condition if they choose to. The Planning Director appreciates the time and effort the County Council has taken to draft the legislation, and as it does not change the Planning Department's current practice, the Planning Director recommends that the Planning Commissions send a favorable recommendation of Bill No. 194 to the County Council. The Planning Commissions may approve the Director's recommendation. The Commissions may also offer revisions to the bill. The Windward and Leeward Planning Commission's recommendations will be forwarded separately, but at the same time, to the County Council for their consideration and decision. -4-
