everything else. The lot that they’re talking about is right across the street from an area where there would be no problem with rezoning; and it’s two lots away from another area that there would be no problem. You know, I think we take ourselves a little too seriously sometimes thinking that we have a game plan; and I think this is one time where this fits in with the community, there’s no community objection to it; and I would be in favor of their proposal. ALAMEDA: All right, let me take it back to this side. Mr. Yuen? YUEN: You know, if you don’t stick to, if you don’t follow the game plan, then you have no game plan. This actually is an area where the General Plan, you can actually see very clearly what the General Plan was trying to do. If you compare, and let’s take the pink area right there. That is the Food Fair, what was the Food Fair shopping center, which has since closed and is now a group of government offices. That corresponds almost exactly with the Medium Density area on the map here. The block that’s shown in the Kahaopea Street and Kinoole Street area is that block. That was zoned as a commercial block at the intersection of two major streets consistently with the General Plan. The other, if you go down south to the other block there -- and we didn’t run the map down that far, the General Plan map -- that’s also Medium Density Urban in the General Plan. That’s a commercial area that’s at the intersection of two major streets and is zoned that way. The General Plan was followed. You created a commercial area where you have a group of businesses at the intersections of major streets. Up at the intersection of Puainako, and that’s getting right where we are, you had, you know, even before the General Plan was there you already had commercial. You had the noodle factory and the Kai Store already there; and the General Plan followed what was there and the zoning followed what was there. So you had these commercial clumps. You know, naturally you have, you have an applicant who is trying to do a very small project yet it is a Commercial rezoning. It’s a CN rezoning. It permits a 7-Eleven, it permits a commercial building, it permits a 20-unit apartment building under the zoning. And if anybody else, then certainly anybody going down Kilauea Avenue on that side of the street is, it’s a precedent for a future rezoning on that side of Kilauea Avenue. So try to, you know, we are supposed to follow the General Plan and there is a clear rationale for what the General Plan is trying to do in this area. ALAMEDA: Let me just ask for follow-up. Mr. Woodward, any follow-up to that? WOODWARD: Well, no, I take your explanation. But I think that’s the place of the Planning Commission, is in reasonable situations to grant essentially variances and approve or recommend approval of zoning that while it may not fit exactly with the General Plan it is within the general characteristic of the neighborhood; and that would be my take on it. ALAMEDA: I appreciate your take. How about Commissioner Watanabe? EXHIBIT C 10
