2011-06-02 Windward Planning Commission Minutes

Home

be discussing with the Puna Action Committee and Homeowners of Paradise Park whether the Director should be initiating an amendment to the Puna CDP and also whether there should be an amendment to the GP for light industrial uses, noting there should be some input from the general community in the subdivision to give the Planning Department guidance in terms of where the community would like the Department to go. Chair Kern said he would love to see amendments to the General Plan and Puna CDP to allow smaller lot owners and entrepreneurs develop their property for Light Industrial uses in the area, which would create less traffic on the highway. Chair Kern noted that if it were not for staying in line with other permits and other things such as the survey and amendment to the CDP, he would have pushed to have the project run with the land.
