The initiator is the County Council. <br />Once again, this is an amendment to Chapter 25, Article 2, Division 4, Hawai‘i County Code <br />1983. Boy, you’re real popular today, Maija. <br />COTTLE: Yeah, working hard here. Okay, this is an amendment by the County <br />Council, related to concurrency standards. And the Planning Commission reviewed a similar <br />amendment, I think, about a year ago. And the current amendment is setting concurrency <br />conditions for parks and recreation facilities, as well as firefighting facilities, on change of zone <br />requests. The Planning Director is recommending that an unfavorable recommendation be sent <br />to the County Council for this, because she feels that they would have an adverse affect on small <br />landowners who want to rezone their property, that some of the concurrency standards would be <br />very difficult for them to meet. And so she is recommending an unfavorable recommendation to <br />County Council. Are there any questions? <br />EXHIBIT C <br />1 <br /> <br />
