So what will be the implications? Really quite simple. The Planning Department, the Planning <br />Director would have to initiate the comprehensive update by February 2015 which is the 10-year <br />anniversary of when the last GP comprehensive update was adopted. <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: Question, please. <br /> <br />WHITMORE: Did you want me to briefly outline the steps that this proposed— <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: No, I’d like to know, I understand, I thought I understood this before this, but I <br />understand the timeframe for initiation. What I don’t understand is underneath this proposed <br />amendment, what would be the timeframe for submittal? <br /> <br />WHITMORE: There would not be a deadline established for submittal of the proposed <br />amendments to the GP. It would establish a deadline for initiation. <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: So, it’s open ended as far as submittal? <br /> <br />WHITMORE: That’s always been the case with the General Plan. <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: You know, maybe I misunderstood how the two work together, but didn’t the <br />amendment to Ordinance No. 07-70 establish a deadline for submittal? <br /> <br />WHITMORE: You’re referring yeah, so in 05, the GP amendment comprehensive update was <br />adopted. Its original language was similar to what the Planning Director is now proposing it <br />return to. In 07, the Director at the time initiated an amendment that would establish a deadline <br />for submittal, excuse me, submittal to Council. And that was, that would be February of next <br />year. So, this is returning it to how it was in 2005 and had been previous. <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: So, I’m a little uncomfortable with leaving the submittal deadline open ended, <br />but that’s my personal opinion. <br /> <br />WHITMORE: Would you like me to cover briefly the steps this proposed interim amendment <br />needs to follow from here? <br /> <br />ONO: Excuse me. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Go ahead, Mr. Ono. <br /> <br />ONO: I need for you to go back and walk me through this slowly-- <br /> <br />WHITMORE: Sure— <br /> <br />ONO: My understanding is that there’s a 10-year program but at the present set up, it’s not really <br />a 10-year program because after about 4-1/2, 5-1/2 years, you’re gonna need to plan for the next, <br />so the plan does not really, is not implemented for ten years basically. Because you need, you’re <br />already suggesting changes before we really started the 10-year program. <br />4 <br />EXHIBIT D <br /> <br /> <br />
