2023-04-20 DRAFT Joint Meeting Exh B (Proposed Amendments to PC Ruls 8 & 9)

Home

SALAS-FERGUSON: That's correct. So, the Commission can either delegate the authority to waive a variance for other structures and activity or can keep that authority within the Commission. So, that's the decision. Does that answer your question Chair Lin, or Vice Chair? LIN: Yes, it does. KERN: If I could real quick. DEFRANCO: Director Kern. KERN: What might be easier is that when a suggestion is made if somebody has an opposition to it, to bring it up and that might save on time and efficiency assuming that we're not hearing any opposition or any further comments or remarks or adjustments we'll take that as general concurrence to move forward with some type of amendment. Is that fair? DEFRANCO: Yes. Thank you. So, moving forward do we have some other points that want to comment on or make a discussion? So, when they go to revise this that, we're covering up all the thoughts of all the Commissioners and it's okay to say something. Commissioner Vitousek if you have another thought. KNOWLES: Chair DeFranco I just had a question. DEFRANCO: Yes. KNOWLES: Commissioner Knowles with a quest, Vice Chair Knowles with a question. Assuming that we agree with some of these other definition changes or the expansion of the setback or those sorts of things. Should we just not discuss those, or do we need to go through and say all the things we like and all the things we would like to change? KERN: Again, this would be up to you folks. So, my suggestion is that we pick up the things that there might be issue with or want to talk to. Again, this is really in alignment with Act 16 and also, I wanted to clarify at the beginning that since Act 16 came into law the Planning Department has been operating as that's in law. Regardless whether these have been in effects of the 40-foot shoreline setback's been in place, the SMA, all of that has been in place and the Department's been acting that way. KNOWLES: Thank you for that clarification. [Unintelligible crosstalk] DEFRANCO: I think it's being pointed out that if we have any more exceptions to anything we should voice it and because of the way that its written some of them involve the Planning Commission more than other things that are in here. Maybe the County, someone could speak to that to point out to us the ones that directly affect the Planning Commission. 25 EXHIBIT B (DRAFT)
