nd <br />DARROW: Those are the two letters that were handed out to you dated June 2. <br />BOWMAN: I understand. But when was this supposed to have been done? Was this, <br />cause I refer back, and I could be wrong, to No. 11 where it talks about the master plan, and <br />revised in 2005, which included a statement about the 46 parcels. So was that supposed to have <br />been done in 2005 or near there? <br />DARROW: This was something that the Planning Director just recently initiated based <br />on this application. <br />BOWMAN: Okay, thank you. <br />WOODWARD: Mr. Chairman? <br />WATANABE: Yes. <br />WOODWARD: Thank you. The question I have in regard to Commissioner Bowman’s <br />question is why are we raising the bar here? If every other application requires you to submit or <br />notify people within 500 feet, why are we raising the bar in this case? <br />WATANABE: I think the answer to that was not so much that the applicant was required <br />to send out those letters, the Director took it upon himself to have the Department send out those <br />letters to see if maybe the General Plan or even the Community Development Plan should be <br />modified because the community itself really wanted a Light Industrial area. That’s what the <br />poll is about, not for notification purposes, to measure interest and maybe, I’m assuming that the <br />Director means if there is interest that maybe we should modify the Community Development <br />Plan as well as the General Plan so that you can have the appropriate zoning there. It was not an <br />onus on the applicant himself. <br />WOODWARD: Not specifically to comment on this application? <br />WATANABE: No, no, no. <br />WOODWARD: Okay. <br />WATANABE: Just that I think the Director is saying this is going to be a long-term issue, <br />we had envisioned this as a transition area but maybe it doesn’t work as a transition area, so <br />maybe we should turn it into a permanent zoned designated Light Industrial area. <br />WOODWARD: Okay. Well, if I might follow-up, Mr. Chairman, then. Why are we <br />bringing that up in the context of this application? That’s a zoning question, or, you know, rather <br />than this application. <br />YUEN: Well, if I could answer that? <br />WATANABE: Sure. <br /> EXHIBIT C <br />24 <br /> <br />
