Your Committee on Planning,to which was referred Resolution No. 291-17, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 291-17, transmitted by Valerie T. Poindexter, via Communication No. 442 dated
August 30, 2017, postpones Council action on rezoning applications in the Hamakua District,
Waipi`o through Kaiwiki, until the Hamakua Community Development Plan(CDP) is adopted
by ordinance, or December 31, 2018, whichever shall occur first.
The resolution extends the postponement policy statement established with the adoption of
Resolution No. 592-16, which expired on June 30, 2017.
Ms. Poindexter briefly explained that this resolution is a continuation of a prior one. She further
explained that they assumed that the Hamakua CDP would have already been completed,
however there have been changes to the CDP and it may be going back to the Planning
Commission.
Leana Gloor, Planning Department Planner, stated that there are minor non-substantive changes
to the Hamakua CDP that are being finished. Ms. Gloor stated that these changes will soon be
submitted to the Planning Director and Corporation Counsel.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 291-17,
and recommends its adoption.
