application be deferred inasmuch as there are certain issues that still need to be discussed, and now IÓll turn it over to the Director. YUEN:At the last meeting, as I discussed, my recommendation is that we defer action until after the County Council has acted on the Project District rezoning action that was voted on by the Commission at the last meeting. Without, IÓm not going to, I discussed the reasons for that at the last meeting. I donÓt, IÓm not going to go into that in any more detail. There were some questions about consistency with past actions. I did go back and look, as far as rezonings that are concurrent with SMA permits. There have been, I believe, just two in this administration which we did take concurrently. TheyÓre not that common. I went back about ten years, and there were three or four examples. We are hearing this concurrently. My recommendation is though that we defer the decision. If the Commission does want to vote on this and bring it to a decision today, the Department has prepared a draft, the Commission has to have a decision before it to make. If the Commission wants to vote in favor of it along the same lines as the Commission voted four to one in favor of the Project District zoning, we have prepared something that would accomplish that. It contains the necessary findings and conditions that are the same, essentially, as those in the Project District zoning. HAYASHI:Madam Chair, I just wanted to add that the Applicant requested that we circulate the, his proposed findings. Jeff is now, weÓll be circulating the draft that the Applicant has just provided to us with the additional condition to the SMA permit. I believe the proposed findings that the Applicant had drafted were circulated to those that were in attendance at the last meeting. YUEN:You know, if I could explain. The ApplicantÓs proposed Finding and Decision, actually, is different than what the Department, is different in a couple of respects, I believe, from what went up in the, what has gone to the Council, in that they have the 400 in the hotel versus the 200 and -. Is the minimum development increment in there? FUKE:ItÓs not included but I was going to address that. But, you know, we donÓt have -. YUEN:Okay. All right. So the ApplicantÓs proposed, the ApplicantÓs Findings are a little bit different in the wording and the ApplicantÓs proposed conditions are different in the hotel. And, in another respect, Mr. Fuke will discuss then what -. We prepared a draft, if the Department wants, if the Planning Commission wants to send something, a decision that basically follows the four to one vote on the Project District. KUBOTA:Madam Chair, a point of personal privilege, please. IÓm getting fuzzy in here because itÓs awfully warm. Maybe IÓm excited, I donÓt know something else. I would like a five-minute recess. SPRINGER:All right. Thank you. 2
