IWASHITA:I guess, procedurally, I have a concern; and that is that, you know,
<br />the parking requirement seems to me, and correct me if Im wrong, that if the zoning was,
<br />in fact, as its being requested to be changed to the MCX 1-A, that whenthis plan came
<br />for approval to the Department, the parking requirement as it stands wouldnt be
<br />approved at 69. Would it or wouldnt it? I mean, thats, if the applicant comes in, if he
<br />has MCX 1-A and says I want to use half of this for commercial and one-fourth for the
<br />warehouse and the other fourth for 1 per 400, whatever those uses are, seems like you
<br />need more than the 69 stalls.
<br />FUKE:Mr. Chairman, can I answer that question?
<br />ALAMEDA:Sure.
<br />FUKE:ImlookingattheZoningCoderightnowrelatingtoparkingandit
<br />says under Item 25-4-51(a)(3), Commercial uses, including retail and office uses in
<br />number of zones, including the MCX zone, one stall for every 300 square feet. It also
<br />says Item, the same section, 25-4-51(a)(11), Industrial uses in ML, MG, MCX, etc., one
<br />
<br />stall for every 400 square feet. So what it refers to is specifically the type of use you
<br />have within that structure thatll dictate what your parking requirements will be.
<br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Iwashita?
<br />IWASHITA:It doesnt answer my question.
<br />YUEN:No, I believe that if this building came in with an MCX zone, itll
<br />probably trigger a statement in the Plan Approval about the parking requirements. Youll
<br />see the Plan Approval has a number of statements about parking, the parking
<br />requirement. Its not per se impossible for this building to comply with the parking
<br />requirements in MCX zone, depends what the ultimate uses are. So, administratively, for
<br />this building, as for a number of, as with many, many other situations, administratively
<br />you have to look at the building and look at each, were going to have to look at the
<br />tenants as they come in to see that the parking is met. If they ended up doing or tenants
<br />that needed the 1 for 400, that would be fine. If they had some tenants that are at 300
<br />square feet, then they need some tenant thats at 1,000 square feet for parking per parking
<br />space. There is a way to do it. And, in fact, currently this building is permitted as a shell
<br />at this point. Right? So to use, for any tenant to come in and use the space, the tenant is
<br />going to come in, youre going to sell it to a, youre going to sell the rented spaces to
<br />tenants that then are responsible for improving their own spaces. Right?
<br />FUKE:Correct.
<br />YUEN:Okay. The tenant is going to come in and get a building permit for
<br />something. And its something that has to, its not the easiest thing in the world to do
<br />because this is the kind of thing thats done administratively by people like Bennett Mark
<br />and others in the Kona office and a couple of people in the Hilo office. They look at the
<br />13EXHIBIT A
