SPRINGER:Moved by Commissioner Kubota and seconded by Commissioner Smith to approve this Special Management Area, the application for a Special Management Area Use Permit, SMA 03-005. And, Commissioners, youÓre then working off of the ApplicantÓs proposed findings? KUBOTA:For a lack of any other, yes. SPRINGER:This is a discussion period that weÓre in now. Director Yuen, do you have any guidance for us, given this motion before us now? YUEN:The Commission does have to make findings and have conditions. Because we service, although my recommendation was for a deferra Commission and looking ahead to the possibility that the Commission would want to take a vote on the merits, we do have a set of findings and conditions that we prepared. TheyÓre essentially the same as Mr. FukeÓs, except that the findings, the discussion and the findings are, tone down some of the positive things he says about his project. TheyÓre in neutral language, thatÓs not important. Then the conditions are essentially the same except that his incorporate, the conditions are the same, I think, except that his incorporate 400 and that we have the 200. And, again, this is not our recommendation. But if the Commission wants to take a vote on essentially what the Applicant has proposed, we would suggest that the Commission use this set of findings and conditions, except that the Commission should, and the mover, should make it specific whether they are moving for 200 or 400 on the number of rooms. SPRINGER:Thank you. Commissioner Kubota? KUBOTA:Yes, IÓd like to speak to my motion. The zoning has to be approved by the Council yet. If the Council sees in its wisdom to limit that hotel occupancy, then they will change it there. And, so, the conceptual plans call for, I think, two hotels, two or three hotels. And if the Council wishes to lop it off, well, they will do so; and our SMA will have to follow suit. Until then it has no value or, yes, it has no value at this time. And the Applicants are willing to take that chance and come back in for an amendment if necessary, so I would stick to my original motion of following -. If theyÓre essentially the same as Mr. Yuen said, I would stick with the ApplicantÓs proposal. SPRINGER:Commissioners, any further discussion or comment on this matter? OÓTOOLE:To clarify, then, youÓre taking Mr. FukeÓs findings and his suggested conditions? KUBOTA:On the condition that Mr. Yuen said theyÓre essentially the same except for Condition E, 400 versus 200. OÓTOOLE:And then I think Mr. Fuke said to, he would agree to include Condition K from the Change of Zone. FUKE:ThatÓs correct. 16
