Kimo Alameda ABSENT & EXCUSED: Takashi Domingo <br /> William Graham Shelly Ogata <br /> Andrew Iwashita Rene’ Siracusa <br />Alvin Rho <br /> Rodney Watanabe <br /> Rell Woodward <br />Ivan Torigoe, Deputy Corporation Counsel <br />Christopher Yuen, Planning Director <br />Norman Hayashi, Planning Program Manager <br />Phyllis Fujimoto, Staff Planner <br />Jeff Darrow, Staff Planner <br />And approximately 27 people from the public in attendance. <br />INITIATOR: COUNTY COUNCIL <br />Continuation of Public Hearing on an amendment to Chapter 25 (Zoning Code), Hawaii County <br />Code 1983 (2005 Edition), as amended, relating to Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) and <br />Cluster Plan Development (C.P.D.) applications. The proposed amendment would 1) require <br />P.U.D applications consisting of seven or more lots to be processed in the same manner as a <br />change of zone in accordance with Hawaii County Code Chapter 25 (Zoning Code), Sections 25- <br />2-42 and 25-2-43; and 2) require C.P.D. applications to be processed as prescribed for a <br />subdivision application under Chapter 23 (Subdivisions), “Application for Subdivision of Seven <br />or More Lots.” <br />GRAHAM: And our Agenda Item No. 8, also initiated by the County Council, <br />is continuation of a public hearing on an amendment to the Zoning Code, Chapter 25, relating to <br />Planned Unit Development and Cluster Plan Development applications. And it would require <br />such applications for seven or more lots be processed in the same manner as a change of zone, <br />and that’s for the P.U.D. applications, and for the Cluster Plan Development applications to be <br />processed as prescribed for a subdivision application under Chapter 23. Mr. Yuen gave us a <br />presentation already on this, so I think we can forego that. I don’t have any public testifiers still. <br />So do we have any comments or discussions by the Commissioners? Then I think we can accept <br />a motion. Commissioner Watanabe? <br />WATANABE: I move that an unfavorable recommendation be forwarded to the <br />County Council on their proposed amendment to Chapter 25 regarding the approval of P.U.D.s <br />EXHIBIT G <br />1 <br /> <br />
