47 1. Barbara DeFranco discussed her goals to have the CDP be reviewed by a 48 third party and have them identify the parts of the CDP that do not work, and 49 correct them. Barbara stated that there has been some frustration, and it was 50 brought up in the last meeting to define the purpose of the Action Committee 51 and making it functional. 52 53 Greg Ogin explained that he has been informed that the Planning Department 54 is going over the General Plan and the CDPs, and will be reviewing for 55 inconsistencies. If corrections are necessary, they will be identified and 56 implemented. 57 58 Barbara asked who is doing the updating, and explained that the Action 59 Committee may need to step in and do it themselves, and maybe with some 60 help from a third party. 61 62 Greg explained that his understanding of the General Plan is that it's general. 63 The General Plan works when it is supporting the CDPs. Barbara DeFranco 64 agreed with that language. 65 66 Doug Payne asked if there is any concern about the Community Development 67 Plan. He brought up that concurrency is a big issue that needs to be 68 addressed. 69 70 Curtis Tyler explained that he anticipated there would be some discussion on 71 this topic. He stated that he would like to make a motion that would more 72 directly relate to what Barbara is talking about. 73 74 Curtis Tyler made a motion that the Action Committee strongly recommends 75 and requests that the Planning Director take steps to initiate the 10 -year CDP 76 review process, such that is undertaken and accomplished concurrently with 77 the ongoing review and proposed revisions to the General Plan and to enable 78 the action committee to be directly involved in this process under the careful 79 guidance of and input from West Hawaii Planners. 80 81 Doug Payne seconded that motion. 82 83 Curtis Tyler went on to explain that the purpose of this recommendation and 84 request is to address the following serious impediments to 85 implementation/exercise of the CDP as written. For example, there is 86 confusion as to the legality of imperative statements (the "shall" statements), 87 lack of appropriate zoning districts in the Zoning Code to accommodate 88 specified development sizes and use combinations, confusion as to intent 89 regarding road concurrency requirements for individual development 90 projects, obsolescence with regard to mandated development moratorium 91 until major County and State roadways are constructed (Queen Kaahumanu 92 Highway and Alii Drive Bypass), conflicting procedures for mandated
