AU: Yes. I’ll save the rest for discussion. <br /> <br />KERN: You may have a seat. Thanks. Daryn. <br /> <br />ARAI: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With respect to Commissioner Au’s comments, for the record, I <br />just wanted to say that the Planning Department did deem the application complete. If it wasn’t <br />complete we wouldn’t have brought it before you. <br /> <br />KERN: Okay. And Maija? <br /> <br />st <br />COTTLE: Yes. So if the Commission would like they can continue to the September 1 hearing next <br />month. <br /> <br />KERN: Thank you very much. Madam Director. <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: I did have one more comment that I wanted to bring to the attention of the <br />Commission. You know, typically when we do a rezoning we have timelines on performance. And <br />then if they, you know, can’t complete within five years, then they have an additional five years, if we <br />give them an administrative approval; and then beyond the 10-year period they would have to go back <br />for a time extension before the Commission and the County Council. Because this application didn’t <br />have a specific use that was proposed, we don’t have a specific timeline on it; and that is a little <br />different from what we normally have in a proposed ordinance. <br /> <br />KERN: Thank you, Madam Director. Okay, with, Daryn. No? <br /> <br />ARAI: Thanks for allowing me to jump in again. And maybe I should explain why we deemed the <br />application complete. While the Code does identify that an application should include any existing or <br />proposed structures or uses, now if the applicant is not proposing anything specific, then there is <br />nothing to disclose. It doesn’t demand that you must, like build a proposed, new structure or anything. <br />It’s just that if it’s in your plans, you should disclose it to the Commission. So it is not a requirement. <br />So I just wanted to make that part of it clear. I think there were comments raised about the <br />environmental report. One was done. I wanted to make it clear that the environmental report required <br />for change of zone applications is not the same type of environmental report you would under State <br />law, like for an EIS for example. So there is a distinction. <br /> <br />KERN: Thank you for that, Daryn. Anybody have any questions for Daryn to clarify any of that? <br />Thanks, Daryn, appreciate it. All right, we’re at that time where we make a motion. Commissioner <br />Au. <br /> <br />AU: I move to send a favorable recommendation for the change of zone to the County Council for the <br />reasons and with the conditions recommended by the Planning Director. <br /> <br />KERN: Is there a second? Is there a second? I do not see one. So with that the motion fails. Okay, <br />you want to try again? <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: The other option is to make a motion to send a negative recommendation. <br />11 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
