the 1990s. And the laws have changed. And we’re just trying to, as Ms. Lee Loy pointed out, <br />we’re trying to basically recognize and legitimize what has been a long-standing business out <br />there.8 <br /> <br />ONO: I see. I’m just looking at the picture on the -. So how do we address that violation now? <br />Or how would -? It’s an illegal building at present with the law as is, as written, but -. <br /> <br />HONG: No. Actually all the buildings are legal; and we’ve taken down any of the buildings that <br />were encroaching on State property or anything else. Those have already been gone. The only <br />issue is whether they can continue to operate the business on the present site. <br /> <br />ONO: I see. Okay, thank you. <br /> <br />COTTLE: Mr. Chair? <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Yes. <br /> <br />COTTLE: May I just clarify one point that Mr. Ono made. The building permits were issued for <br />that structure on Parcel 57, this one right here that’s currently being used for the water tank <br />business. The building permit was issued as a garage storage room for personal use, not for a <br />business, not for a commercial or industrial use. So Mr. Hong is correct that they did get a <br />building permit for that structure, but it’s not for the use that they’re using it for at this time. <br /> <br />ONO: Okay. <br /> <br />BRILHANTE: Mr. Chair? <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Sure. <br /> <br />BRILHANTE: William Brilhante, Deputy Corporation Counsel. I represent the Planning <br />Director and the Planning Department. And I just wanted to clarify the question. And I think <br />Maija did a very good job of clarifying the question. It’s not, that sentence that Commissioner <br />Ono referenced doesn’t specifically state that the structures were unpermitted structures. But <br />what that sentence is attempting to clarify is that the current use doesn’t conform with the current <br />State Land Use designation for an Ag parcel in the Ag designated district. So that’s what that <br />statement was more in reference towards – the permitted actual uses. And, again, that’s the basis <br />for this special permit application. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Thank you. Okay, we’re clear? Commissioner Henkel. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Commissioner Henkel. <br /> <br />9 <br /> EXHIBIT C <br /> <br /> <br />
