<br />So ever since then, golf courses are no longer permitted on agriculturally designated lands; <br />however, if you look at our Zoning Code, the Zoning Code and the language contained therein <br />sort of like didn’t catch up to what the State law now requires. So, what we’re offering to you as <br />a bill that basically goes through the Zoning Code and makes it absolutely clear that a Use <br />Permit may be pursued to allow a golf driving, golf course and golf driving range on various <br />zoning districts, residential, commercial, resort, open, and agricultural, with the exception if <br />those lands are designated agriculture by the State Land Use Commission. And that’s simply to <br />make sure that we don’t run afoul of the prohibition by State law. So, basically, what you see <br />before you is just a housekeeping measure. So, hopefully, I’ve explained it clear enough. If not, <br />I stand ready to answer any questions you may have. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Any questions for Mr. Arai? No? Ok, a motion would be in order. And there’s <br />no one signed up to testify. Anybody? <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: Ok, I’ll move that we send a favorable recommendation to the Hawai‘i County <br />Council regarding this bill relating to golf courses and golf driving ranges. <br /> <br />HENKEL: Second. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Discussion? Go ahead, Daryn. <br /> <br />ARAI: Ok, the motion on the floor is a favorable recommendation for a proposed amendment to <br />the Zoning Code regarding golf courses and related golf course uses as recommended by the <br />Director. With that, I’ll make the call. Commissioner Heaukulani? <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: Aye. <br /> <br />ARAI: Commissioner Henkel? <br /> <br />HENKEL: Aye. <br /> <br />ARAI: Commissioner Ishibashi? <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Aye. <br /> <br />ARAI: Commissioner Moses? <br /> <br />MOSES: Aye. <br /> <br />ARAI: Commissioner Ono? <br /> <br />ONO: Aye. <br /> <br />ARAI: Mr. Chairman. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Aye. <br />2 <br />EXHIBIT C <br /> <br /> <br />
