traffic business and, you know, there's a condition in there that anything that would change up
<br />would be needing a TIAR, and chances of the, of that coming out clean at a high, you know,
<br />high—high use, high traffic development is not just going to happen. This place is suited for an
<br />office building in the commercial arena. If we could spot, you know, do a spot zoning, this
<br />would be great with a Use Permit on it, but we're not allowed to do that, so we're basically
<br />forced to, you know, go with the CN zoning.
<br />Everybody has their opinions and interpretations of the meetings and how we communicated,
<br />etc., etc., and I don't want to get into a back and forth, you know, so I'm going to leave it alone.
<br />We tried our best. We hear the concerns. And, I go back to the, you know, the basic criteria
<br />that --okay, this is a tricky one because you're forced to look at emotions and then the actual
<br />Code, Charter, you know what I mean, the facts. The facts are this meets criteria. The facts are
<br />this got a positive recommendation from the Planning Department. That's what we're moving
<br />for, moving towards. The emotions, we can go either way. We could start getting up here and
<br />pulling the emotional strings, too, and it's just where do we go with that? So, for me, as a prior
<br />decision maker, I always had to let the emotions go when I had to go with what made sense.
<br />Does it make a factual sense, and having spent the time here being a decision maker, that, you
<br />know, it's tough—it's a tough one. It's not the easiest thing to always do. And, the same thing
<br />on Council. When you're actually voting for this to prove, you know, a rezone. Does it meet the
<br />criteria? That was, that's always been my philosophy on things, so, you know, this one does.
<br />Open to the Commission on any questions, concerns. Take five. Look at the CN, you know,
<br />Neighborhood Commercial Districts if you want to.
<br />HENKEL: I have one question, Zendo. Is, there's no parking on Waianuenue at that location,
<br />right?
<br />KERN: There's no parking on Waianuenue or Kaumana Drive. And, to park anywhere else
<br />would be, wouldn't really make sense. You know, some places it would make sense for you to
<br />park on the street and run over to that spot, but the location of that, it really wouldn't. And,
<br />that's why, again, we've been trying to maximize the office space, too. Now, about a third of it
<br />will be taken up by my client. A real estate office. Most of the realtors do not go to the office.
<br />They work from home or they're on the street, hustling meeting clients, etc. So, while he may
<br />haveI mean, how many agents do you have?
<br />TORRISON: I have four in my office.
<br />KERN: So, four in the office. Those four aren't going to be there. They're going to come, and
<br />they're going to pick up their Commission check. Maybe do a little bit of work and take off In
<br />talking to my client, with his current office, he tells me that they're rarely ever there, which
<br />means you have a third of the building occupied by my client and minimal, minimal traffic for
<br />that. It would be, you know, it'd be the other tenant where they would be that, and with having
<br />the 11 parking stalls plus ADA, parking really shouldn't be too much of an issue.
<br />So, that's how we, you know, trying to address all the concerns and make it so, you know, traffic
<br />and parking. And, visual impacts. And, I feel that we have addressed all of those to the best of
<br />our ability, and the decision will be, the recommendation will be in your hands.
