Subject: Bill 170 Testimony

Aloha Leeward Planning Commission members:
I understand you will be addressing Bill 170 at this week's meeting.
This testimony is three-fold:
1. Please support the purpose of Bill 170
Section 1. We want to define Data Centers and not have them included as a
permitted use in Hawaii County.
2. Bill 170 needs an amendment: creat a definition of Data Centers that differentiates
it from Data Processing Centers.
3. Please REJECT the planning department’s recommendation regarding Data
Centers. It is attempting to create regulations around Data Centers when we are still
working on defining what they are.
Mahalo for your time and attention to the matter which is so important for our
community.
