Policy LU -3.3: Clustered Rural Subdivision Project Unit Development (PUD). Mr. Takemoto stated this policy was the subject of the Missler case; he explained that they changed the wording to reflect the Planning Director's new role to issue recommendations to the Planning Commission, who is now the deciding body. Policy LU -3.4: Clustered Rural Subdivision Guidelines. Mr. Takemoto explained adding the words "at the applicant's option" to the policy to reflect the original intent of the policy to be optional. Policy LU -4.2: Mandatory Review. Mr. Takemoto explained that the conceptual intent of the Design Center was to be recommendatory and encourage TOD development. Policy CR -1.1: Kona Cultural Resources Committee (KCRC).

Mr. Takemoto explained that this is an area where they are seeking AC input. Action Committee members expressed concern about the following: the legal definitions of words "shall", "should", "will", and "must"; the lowering of the authority of policies from mandatory to recommendatory and the attached implications; and Policy LU -1.5 Shoreline Setback rephrasing.
