Planning Program Manager Maija Jackson stated no decision was made on both items as both motions had failed. She cited the County Code states the Planning Commission needs to make a valid vote one way or another within 90 days after receipt of the application from the Planning Director. She mentioned an option would be to defer to the next hearing and see whether the votes change and if there is still not a valid vote on to be transferred to the County Council. It was moved by Commissioner Kanuha and seconded by Commissioner Vitousek to defer agenda Item No. 2 to the next Commission meeting. Commissioner Knowles inquired if it would be possible for the Commission to hear from a representative from the Department of Transportation. Director Kern stated a request will certainly be made. The applicant concurred with the deferral. A roll call vote was taken, and the motion carried with five ayes (Kanuha, Vitousek, Dela Cruz, Knowles, and DeFranco), no noes, and one absent and excused (Paishon- Duarte).
