approved a reclassification from the Conservation to the Urban District for properties <br />owned by Lanihau Properties; and this would be, again, also, for some Mixed Industrial <br />Commercial Uses. <br />GRAHAM:Thank you. <br />FUJIKAWA:Is there any other question from Commissioners to the staff? Go <br />ahead, Commissioner Kubota. <br />KUBOTA:Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question on procedural <br />procedure of this SMA Permit being -. <br />YUEN:Oh, youÓre there, sorry. <br />FUJIKAWA:Go ahead. <br />KUBOTA:Go ahead? <br />FUJIKAWA:Yeah. <br />KUBOTA:I thought maybe you were trying to play, run away from my <br />question. IÓm questioning your recommendation to defer action on the SMA Use Permit <br />application. In my five years as a Commissioner, weÓve processed both Change of Zone <br />and SMA together concurrently. What is the rationale for this deferment? The Planning <br />Director or the Planning Department does put out in the recommendation some rationale <br />and I think theyÓre sound. But I feel that every one of those points could be relevant to <br />all others that weÓve processed. So my question is why are we deviating from the norm <br />on this particular one? It seems highly unusual. And I would like an explanation, besides <br />the rationale here, because I donÓt think this rationale is any different. <br />HAYASHI:I think itÓs, IÓll defer the question to the Director. I think he can <br />more adequately explain the rationale for what is being proposed. <br />KUBOTA:Thank you. <br />FUJIKAWA:Would the Director Chris Yuen respond to the question? <br />YUEN:Starting with the things that are, IÓll elaborate a little <br />whatÓs written there. The planning, the SMA Permit has to be consistent with the zoning <br />but processing can go concurrently. It doesnÓt have to go concurrently. So you can have <br />a Change of Zone being processed at the same time as a SMA, but <br />SMA. In this particular case, itÓs a large project that is still extremely unplanned as far as <br />what the final outcome will look like. If the Change of Zone goes through a Project <br />District, we have, the project could end up as a big box commercial center; the project <br />could end up as an airport-oriented hotel; it could end up as a purely residential with up <br />to 240 units. You could end up with any combination of those el <br />3 <br /> <br />
