BUSINESS OF COMMITTEE: ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION AND ACTION
1. Action Taken on Tabled Motions
a. Motion to request that the planning director prepare the ordinance
amendment to the zoning code to permit the TND floating zone.
Motion tabled on July 30th, 2014 and again on September 24th, 2014.
Doug Payne, as maker of this motion, suggested and indicated it was
his intent for this to stay tabled and removed from the agenda until
the Ad-hoc Subcommittees address all their issues in regards to the
pending zone change. No further discussion.
b. Impact on Kona CDP development patterns: Planning Director's Bill
before County Council to amend Zoning Code to allow residential
development in MCX (mixed-use industrial) zoning district.
Discussion between the Action Committee and the Planning
Department about this bill.
Curtis Tyler made a motion to have the chair representing the Kona
CDP Action Committee request that the planning director make a
presentation at the next meeting concerning the bill, which has come
through both of the planning commissions, recommending that the
zoning code be amended to allow residential in MCX. Also, the Action
Committee requests that the director bring the bill, the written
recommendations of the two planning commissions, any testimony,
and the background report. Lastly, that the Action Committee request
to receive those documents a week before the meeting for review.
The Action Committee stressed their concerns about the residential
nature on industrial areas, the impact on industrial lands in West
Hawaii, and that the village design guidelines model of smart growth
could be bypassed.
Elaine Fukushima seconded Curtis Tyler's motion. The motion was
carried unanimously.
