Opportunities for the community to testify on the CDP continue at Planning Commission and County Council hearings. Mr. Agres reiterated that there have been four facilitated discussions regarding options and proposed revisions and four meetings with incremental preliminary approvals. Today, the goal is for the Steering Committee to be satisfied that the CDP is an overall reflection of the community's preferences, and for the committee to vote on recommending approval of the Draft CDP. As stated earlier by Mr. Whitmore, testimony from this evening should be evaluated to ensure that what is heard pertains to issues within the scope of the CDP, is new information that is verifiable, is supported by the established Community Objectives, and is consistent with other preliminary decisions. Steering Committee members discussed the Summary of Proposed Revisions that were preliminarily agreed upon during the previous four CDP meetings and considered approval of the revised version of the January 2015 Draft of the Hamakua Community Development Plan. Ms. Gomes — As stated on the agenda, our main objective is the vote, so what 1 wou like to do is propose at least some language for us to consider and whoever feels so compelled to move the motion can do so after 1 introduce that draft language. So, it�ould be to -move to recommend the approval of the January 2016 Draft Hamakua Community Development Plan amended to reflect the revisions in the document, "Summary of Proposed Revisions to the Draft Hdmdkua CDP November 15, 2016" which summarizes revisions preliminarily agreed on by the Steering Committee during its September 10th and 28th, October 22nd and November 2, 2016 meetings. 1 know that was a mouthful and that's why we took the initiative to at least propose the draft language. If anyone is in agreement with the draft language you can so move without having to repeat that and we'll go ahead and just document it on our own. When we have a second, we can open it up for discussion. Alternatively, you can feel free to propose another motion as w Ms. Mendoza moved to recommend the approval of the January 2016 Draft Hdmdkua Community Development Plan amended to reflect the revisions in the document, "Summary of Proposed Revisions to the Draft Hamakua CDP" dated November 15, 2016 which summarizes revisions preliminarily agreed on by the Steering Committee during its September 10th and 28th, October 22nd and November 2, 2016 meetings. Second by Mr. Carvalho. Ms. Gomes opened the floor for discussion. Mr. Kurokawa pointed out that Honomu Gym was already re-roofed so it can be deleted on page 9 of the Summary of Proposed Revisions document, second bullet under Policy 101. [It was confirmed later in the meeting that this type of editorial update can be initiated by the Planning Team for this, and any similar actions in the Plan that are determined to be obsolete by the time it is being reformatted/packaged for adoption.] Mr. Carvalho strongly recommended that the Steering Committee vote in favor of the motion. He feels that the plan is definitely a reflection of the community's preferences. The community held similar preferences during processes prior to this CDP. Mr. Moniz expressed his concern about the limited amount of industrial zoning along the coast. He is concerned about what kind of impact this will have on farmers, ranchers and others in related Page 110
