For the reasons detailed above, the Planning Director recommends that the Planning Commissions send a favorable recommendation of Bill No. 121 to the County Council with the recommended revisions. PLANNING COMMSSION ACTION The Windward and Leeward Planning Commissions are required to take action on Bill 121 as described in Section 25-2-43(b) of the zoning code (Planning Department Exhibit 21). This bill was transmitted by the County Council to the Department on January 30, 2024, which means the commissions are required to transmit their recommendations to the council by May 29, 2024. The commissions may recommend approval of all, some, or none of the Director's suggested recommendations. The commissions may also recommend their own revisions to the bill. The Windward and Leeward Planning Commission's recommendations will be forwarded separately, but at the same time, to the County Council for their consideration and decision. In the event the commissions fail to act on the proposed bill by this date, such inaction shall be considered as an unfavorable recommendation by the commissions. Once Bill 121 alongside Bill 122 and 123 is heard before the Windward and Leeward Planning Commission, the recommendations will be sent back to the County Council's Policy Committee on Planning, Land Use and Development, where the bills will then be forwarded with a recommendation to Council. At Council, the bills will need to go through the 1st and 2nd (Final) Reading in ordered to be passed as an ordinance. -26-
