2012-05-17 Leeward Exh D - Zoning Code B&B

Home

that everything is consistent with Ordinance 00 152. And basically, there are seven items, which are listed within the background report. Two of the items are within the plan approval section, which still refers to bed and breakfasts under that section; so sometimes we get calls, you know, from the public stating “oh, do I need plan approval for a bed and breakfast,” “no, you don’t need that,” “oh, well, it’s listed under the plan approval section” – got to clean that up. And we have some others that relate to, it’ll refer to having a use permit or a special permit in one section of the Code but not in the other section, and so we are just cleaning that up. And then lastly, we have, in the CDH District, it does permit bed and breakfast as a permitted use, yet under Chapter 25-4-7 where it lists the zoning districts that allow for B&B’s, it doesn’t identify CDH District; so again, it’s just merely for cleanup. And with that, I also need to clean up my report. First page under “Background,” second paragraph, Line 3, it says, “house on a building site” and it has a period and a comma; and if I can just take out the period and we’ll clean that up, and we should be okay. You will notice that the Planning Director has recently submitted to the Planning Commission revised Exhibit No. 2, which is the ordinance for the new bill. And the reason for that is because our original bill ended up having conflicts with the crematorium bill that went up just prior to that; so if we had sent that up, it would have conflicted with the new crematorium bill. So we held off on that. And now it looks like everything is in order, and so we are ready to send it up. GIFFIN: Commissioners, any questions of Jeff? I would like to direct your attention to Page 4 of the background report where the last paragraph is “Recommendation.” DARROW: Okay -. GIFFIN: Correct? DARROW: I’m sorry? GIFFIN: Commissioners, Page 4 of the background is the recommendation. Just so that we are all on the same page, and when a motion is made by Mr. Iokepa -. Okay, so we are all there? All right. Hearing that, may I please hear a motion? Page 4 in the background and recommendation – it’s white, it’s not goldenrod, and it’s the last paragraph on Page 4 – before the old ordinance. I can read it. Do you want me to read it, so then the motion can just be “I so move?” Okay, “For the reasons cited above, the Planning Director recommends that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation to the County Council for the amendment to Chapter 25 (Zoning) of the Hawai‘i County Code 1983 (2005 edition) relating to bed and breakfast establishments. The accompanying draft bill is provided for your favorable consideration.” And we would be referring to the new one, right? DARROW: Correct. GIFFIN: Okay. So that’s Exhibit 2. If one of you would just say, “so move.” WHITTEMORE: So move. GIFFIN: Okay, may I hear a second? IOKEPA: Second. 2 EXHIBIT D
