favorable recommendation thereon to the Planning Director for his use in forwarding in a timely manner those portions of the proposed amendments which at this time he deems appropriate to the Leeward Planning Commission for their consideration. Second by Vice -Chair David. Note: the bracketed text was clarified in discussion after the motion was made. Chair Young expressed that he felt the major items had been tackled and that there will be opportunities to discuss more issues in the future. He expressed an overall desire to move the task out of the hands of the Action Committee, understanding that they will still have a level of involvement within the legislative process. The Action Committee discussed the length of time taken to explore matters which go beyond trying to solve legal confusion or ambiguity. Many felt that the overall desire to expedite the interim amendment process was getting lost in issues which may not have much consequence considering the short length of time before the next comprehensive review. Staff explained that after the amendment document passes through the Action Committee it will go to the Planning Department for review and comment. The amendments will be circulated around other County Departments for their comment during that time as well. If any major amendments are made to the document, it will be brought back to the Action Committee prior to beginning the legislative process. In the legislative process the amendments will first be provided to the Planning Commission for passage to County Council. During this thorough vetting process, the County Council has the opportunity to make changes and eventually vote on adopting these amendments. In this stage of the process, the public as well as Action Committee members will have opportunities to express their thoughts on the amendments before the CDP is officially amended. Upon this motion a vote was taken. The motion passed unanimously with 6 votes aye, 0 votes nay. (Committee Member Rabin was not present at the time of the vote). Committee Member Rivera asked about a developer who owns a 12 acre property in a TOD area in Kona, he explained that the developer is blocked by wording in the CDP because the property is too small to become a Project District. He asked how this issue could be discussed by the Action Committee in hopes to find a solution. Chair Young suggested providing more details about the project and specific language in the CDP and offered to add this item onto the next meeting agenda.
