with previous input, focusing on the desire to minimize coastal development and preserve viewshed resources. Mr. Agres facilitated further discussion. A discussion led by Mr. Enright about the agricultural viability of this coastal area concluded with the acknowledgement that, while the area may not be an ideal agricultural area, again due to its close proximity to urban areas, keeping the area in an agricultural designation will likely achieve the community's objective of maintaining open space and protecting viewsheds for this area. Mr. Neff moved to preliminarily confirm the January 2016 CDP mop designations for Papo'ikou Point. Second by Mr. Carvalho. Motion passed with 7 votes aye and 0 votes nay.

Mr. Carvalho and Mr. Enright needed to leave due to prior commitments. Quorum was retained with Mr. Kurokawa, Mr. Neff, Ms. Pahi'o, Mr. Moniz, and Ms. Mendoza. From this point on, voting on motions was based on 5 Steering Committee members rather than 7. CDP Land Use Policy Map: Hakalau Point Ms. Gloor outlined Option 1 (no change to the Draft CDP) and Option 2 for Hakalau Point: Revise the Open shoreline area along the coast to be consistent with the Open area as shown in the current General Plan, and revise the Industrial designations for parcels 2-9-020:079 and 2-9-020:081 (as shown on the Draft CDP) to be consistent with the current General Plan. Using the decision making tool, Mr. Agres facilitated Steering Committee discussion. Ms. Gloor clarified that Zoning determines permitted uses while LUPAG guides future development options and advised attendees to refer to the LUPAG FAQ handout, which helps to outline the different LUPAG designations being discussed (LUPAG FAQ handout is available online at http://records.co.hawaii.hi.us/weblink/DocView.aspx?dbid=1&id=78789&page=1&cr=1). Ms. Gloor also clarified that the CDP does not automatically change the General Plan LUPAG maps, but the CDP Land Use Policy Maps provide guidance to the General Plan Comprehensive Review, which is a separate process. As the result of a lengthy discussion detailing the permitted uses allowed in the Industrial zone (MG) from the County Zoning Code Ch. 25, the Steering Committee devised a 3rd Option: Revise the Open Shoreline area along the coastline to be consistent with the Open area as shown in the current General Plan (2005) (but align the wavering boundary between the Open and LDU areas along the private road on the southern part of the point), and designate all of parcels 2-9- 020:079 and 2-9-020:081 Open because guiding future development to this area is not seen as consistent with minimizing new coastal development. Mr. Neff moved to preliminarily accept the new Steering Committee proposed Option 3 os stated above. Second by Mr. Kurokowo. Motion passed with 5 votes aye and 0 votes nay.
