FUJIKAWA:Planning Director? YUEN:ThereÓs no rule that requires concurrent processing. I would not say that we will always, that the department will always have concurrent processing. We would have a reason for not having, if we did. If we had a similar situation to this application, we would have concurrent processing, but we more likely would ask for a similar deferral of the final decision by the Planning Commission. There are likely to be much simpler applications where we would recommend that the Planning Commission go ahead and grant the SMA permit, subject to the rezoning going through.

We did not do that in this case. KUBOTA:Yeah. YUEN:And I do not, I think that that would be an unusual situation. And, so, I think at that level itÓs up to the Director.
