there have been a number of actions taken with regards to parcel MCX zoning. As I recall the past, I think it was in early ninet see applications coming in from owners within the Houselots area saw an opportunity to buy land in that area. And now if anyone there was a need for any property in which they could have Light uses -. You know, the lands in that particular area usually belo State. And here we see a pocket of individual private lands, property, that are being sold and it was, and it is through the demands and the requests of people wh kinds of activities other than Residential. And then thatÓs why weÓve seen that being generated more and more as time goes by. Commission for probably a year or so, IÓve noticed that, a numbe other kinds of uses.

They have had num which they could have done something through a General Plan review process; and that has not, and the idea of just holding it strictly for Residential has not proceedings. So what weÓve seen here, and I think which is gene the people, is a use thatÓs gradually changing. And the MCX zoning is not the zoning that was within the Zoning Plan began. It started around that time also because people exp of uses other than Commercial uses. So this Mixed Use zoning is individuals who through their small businesses through their mea own business, own their own property, and do what they need, rat from year to year or for a number of years. And every time thos with additional charges and increase in lease rental. So I thin that will let it be open to the public so they can enjoy that benefit. So therefore, you know, I strongly speak for the motion and hope that the Commissioners wi Mr. Chairman. WOODWARD: Thank you, Commissioner Domingo. Any further comments Commissioner Iwashita. IWASHITA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Jeff, can you put up the Hilo o appreciate Commissioner DomingoÓs comments. And, you know, we d Houselots area.
