WATANABE: We are on the Agenda Item No. 2. This is, the initiator is the Planning Director, and this is an amendment, or a proposed amendment to Chapter 25. Maija? COTTLE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is an amendment initiated by the Planning Director, and it came about because State Law was recently changed to allow telecommunication towers and antennas as a permitted use in the State Land Use Agricultural district. So to allow an opportunity for the Planning Department to review telecommunication towers and for the public to provide input on the locations of these towers, the Planning Director is recommending that a Use Permit now be required on State Land Use Agricultural land. So the Director obviously is recommending approval of this amendment. Are there any questions? WATANABE: Fellow Commissioners, do we have any questions of staff? EXHIBIT B 1
