GRAHAM: Yes. I was just wondering. DARROW: This is a recent application that had come before you for NST. Do you recall that particular application? GRAHAM: Yes. DARROW: So since that time this map hasn’t been updated, but that is because that’s a recent rezoning that had come to the Planning Commission. It probably is a good time to update this particular map. GRAHAM: Thank you. ALAMEDA: I’ve got one. GRAHAM: Yes, Commissioner Alameda. ALAMEDA: Thanks, Mr. Chair. Jeff, could you share with me some other examples of MCX usage? Like I know self-storage. But what about, just off the top of your head, what are some other examples of these types of uses that could go with this type of zoning? DARROW: If you could give me one minute I’m going to grab the Zoning Code, just so I’m clear on it. ALAMEDA: Okay. And the reason I ask is, you know, now once the County Council approves the zoning then the usage can, is not limited to just the self-storage. Right? So I’m just kind of curious if the self-storage business goes out of business then what’s next. DARROW: Okay, and again, this is a district that allows for Industrial and Commercial Mixed types of uses. Just to give an example, you are allowed to do automobile service stations here, you can do catering establishments as similar to the establishment up the street from there, farmers markets are allowed, food manufacturing and processing, home improvement centers, kennels in sound-attenuated buildings, medical clinics, meeting facilities, mortuaries, offices, personal services, restaurants, repair establishments, schools, telecommunications antennas, warehousing and such. ALAMEDA: Thanks. YUEN: If I could follow-up on that. In most Zoning Codes you have a line between Commercial and Industrial. And the line typically is that you can’t do retail sales in an Industrial zone, or at least you’re not supposed to. And you can’t do warehousing and other kinds of Light Industrial things, like some kinds of manufacturing in a Commercial zone. So in practice the line gets pretty blurred. If you go through an area that’s zoned Industrial like the Kanoelehua Industrial area or the Kona Industrial area, you may find a lot of businesses that are possibly crossing the line into Commercial. But then the County enacted this MCX zoning which let’s you do pretty much of both in MCX. So in a way it’s the broadest of the zoning categories, of the business type zoning categories. So you can do a retail sales building, but you can also do certain Light Industrial types of activities that are not normally allowed in, say, for EXHIBIT A 3
