Aloha Chairman Elarinoff and Planning Committee members.
Ps we understand it, the developer wants a zoning change of 83 acres from Industrial 3-acre to
Project District That would be a windfall to Clifto because it would allow two airport-style hotels
(400 rooms), ?30 residences, as well as commercial buildings to be built on the site.
From the stand point of traffic problems, ocean pollution, noise. loss of natural view-plane, bona
would he better off with [he current zoning. This is true. no matter What(ever) jobs are promised,
or tax revenue or other economic benefits might eventually accrue from the development.

will fall over. Progress also needs to have a positive effect on the environment over the years
(sustainable) and a positive impact on culhu'alisocia] dimension. This project simply does not.
Plan-[o-Protect respectfully requests this zoning change be denied.
