recommendation that the Commission would like to send, that’s quite a correct thing for the <br />Commission to talk about, and then we would try to – you don’t have to work out the exact <br />language – we would try to work it into our letter to the Council that this is what the Commission <br />thinks ought to happen. <br />HOUSEL: Okay. <br />WOODWARD: Mr. Chairman? <br />WATANABE: Yes, Mr. Woodward? <br />WOODWARD: I would like to strongly suggest that the Council pay attention to the <br />community development plans. Why are we bothering to do then, if they are going to adopt a <br />county-wide policy like this? They need to take advantage of the infrastructure requests that are <br />in each of the community development plans and not approve a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all <br />approach like this. So my suggestion would be the County Council just cool their jets and look <br />at the community development plans and not put forth some ridiculous bill like this. <br />WATANABE: Thank you. Any further -? <br />WOODWARD: And that’s the way I feel. <br />WATANABE: Toned down, of course. Any further comments? Okay, well, I tend to <br />agree. And I think the problem with catching up here is that we haven’t been able to pass the <br />impact fee, we have no set structure for funding any of this, and currently as zoning changes <br />occur, we are, based on either the community development plan or the General Plan or input <br />from the Public Works, etc., making requirements of the developers to put into place some of the <br />infrastructure that is lacking at the developers’ cost. I realize it’s being passed onto the final <br />consumer, but we are, in lieu of having, you know, an effective impact fee, we are using that <br />process. And I think, again, this bill, while it addresses the lack of infrastructure, does not <br />address how it will be attained or funded. So I agree wholeheartedly with the negative <br />recommendation. And if there are no further comments, then I’ll entertain -. Ms. Ogata? <br />OGATA: I move that the Planning Commission send a negative recommendation to <br />the Council on the proposed amendment to the Zoning Code with an emphasis on -. <br />WATANABE: Focusing on the community development plans -? <br />OGATA: The community development plans. <br />WATANABE: Yeah, okay. Do we have a second to that? <br />DOMINGO: Second. <br />WATANABE: Okay, thank you, Mr. Domingo. Any further discussion on this? Okay. <br />Mr. Darrow? <br />EXHIBIT B <br />5 <br /> <br />
