MEAD: I believe that was the intent. Yeah, so a new Pier 5, generally somewhere in this <br /> location here,would accommodate the cruise ships. That's my understanding. <br /> DELIMA: Any other questions? The only, one of the points I made earlier was that the, our <br /> present General Plan does not include the commercial designations that we have voted upon. <br /> Is it—and I understand the County is right now in the process of Planning Director initiated <br /> General Plan amendments. Is it the intent of the Director, given the adoption of the <br /> conceptual land use plan, to incorporate as part of the General Plan amendments the actions <br /> that we undertook? <br /> MEAD: I'm going to defer to the Deputy Director on this one. He'll probably be in a better <br /> place to answer that. <br /> ARAI: I appreciate the question. The ongoing comprehensive General Plan update program <br /> is always a moving target. It's evolutionary. As we go through the processes we understand <br /> that other planning initiatives will not come to a screeching halt while it waits for the General <br /> Plan. So while this concept land use plan has been adopted by the Agency,we are also well <br /> aware that our initial vision was that this plan would frame the necessary studies that would <br /> then further frame the development of an environmental assessmentenvironmental impact <br /> statement. During that development process,based on community input, agency input, <br /> specific engineering studies,that could further evolve this concept. And what that will <br /> ultimately result in,we still do not know. The reason being is this is just step one. We really <br /> wanted this process to be as organic as possible, meaning that as information is assimilated, <br /> that would organically drive what will ultimately come before you once the environmental <br /> impact statement is ready for your review and eventual adoption. So as you can see, I don't <br /> have a clear answer for you <br /> DELIMA: Let me ask you this question,when is the Director submitting the General Plan <br /> revisions to the Planning <br /> ARAI: Commission. <br /> DELIMA: Commission. Yeah. Is there a calendar timetable for that? <br /> ARAI: Yeah, there was a date that was beingI thought it was toward the ending of this <br /> year or early next year. <br /> DELIMA: Yeah, cause I would think the Council that was elected recently would want to be <br /> able to weigh in and vote on it, otherwise they'd be delegating it to unknown council <br /> members of the future. I mean if I was on the Council, I would want to vote on it. So,what's <br /> the timetable for that? <br /> ARAI: For the General Plan,right? <br /> DELIMA: Yeah, so you're gonna do it by the end of this year? <br /> ARAI: Go on with your meeting; I'll get that date for you. I know we have a timetable, so I <br /> do want to check with staff to make sure we're on schedule yet. <br /> Page 9 of 18 <br /> Banyan Drive Hawaii Redevelopment Agency <br /> February 22,2017,Minutes <br />
