YUEN: Right. And if he were limiting the certified kitchen to processing <br />of his own agricultural produce he would not need a special permit. You know the <br />application came in with this cooking of the dog treats aspect, so that’s part of why it’s in <br />there. And the point raised by the neighbors of the potential renting of the certified <br />kitchen I think is a legitimate one, and we could deal with that. It could be dealt with <br />either by a condition that it be limited to the owner of the premises, the operation be <br />limited to the owner of the premises, in which case he could bring in other, you know, he <br />could operate a bakery with a certified kitchen, that would allow that. Or if it were taken <br />out completely, as I said, he could still process his own agricultural products and have a <br />certified kitchen to do that without getting a special permit. He would still need the <br />Department of Health permit but we wouldn’t require a special permit to do that. <br />ALAMEDA: Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. <br />WOODWARD: Commissioner Bowman. <br />BOWMAN: What if he grew, like there are a lot of vegetarian dog things? I do, <br />I have a friend that has a bakery on Oahu and a lot of it is made out of sweet potato. So if <br />he, I’m just asking, if he grew the sweet potatoes and things there or grew the chickens to <br />make chicken dog food, chicken dog food, yeah, something like that, or grew a cow and <br />made, is this, I’m getting carried away, is that allowed cause he’s doing his agricultural <br />products? <br />YUEN: Yeah. The growing and processing of agricultural products is a <br />permitted use on your own site. So if he, and there are certain things that you need a <br />commercial kitchen -- We always say certified kitchen, the Department of Health says <br />commercial kitchen -- certain things you need a commercial kitchen to do and that’s their <br />kuleana. But as far as the, you know, the Planning Department is concerned, you can <br />raise chickens, you can feed the chickens to the dogs. If he cooks them in something that <br />needs a commercial kitchen he may need a Department of Health license. But he <br />wouldn’t need anything further from us besides, you know, this special permit to have the <br />dog kennels. What he feeds the dogs, if he grows it there that’s fine, that would simply <br />be a permitted use anyway. <br />BOWMAN: But he could sell those products because he grew them? <br />YUEN: Yeah. <br />BOWMAN: Okay. <br />YUEN: Again, you know, and leave the dogs aside -. If he, to get back to <br />the pineapple example, if he grew pineapples and he wanted to can them on his own site <br />and he needed a commercial certified kitchen to do that he would still need the <br />Department of Health permit but he wouldn’t need a Planning Department permit. That’s <br />Ag processing. <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />15 <br /> <br />
