“Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First and foremost, many thanks to all of the residents who are here with us this morning, spending your time and your energy on this item in your neighborhood. My first question is for the applicant, if he could approach. I guess I was trying to understand, I think you had mentioned this at the beginning, you're under contract to acquire this property, or have you already acquired the property? I was a little confused by that.”

“Okay. And then as a follow-up on this, is there... a reason or I guess a rationale as to why you chose not to pursue R6 zoning? That would be, I guess, I believe aligned with this, the future land use in the area?”

“Thank you, Mr. Chair. And again, many thanks to all of the residents who came out and participated this morning and to the applicant for their time and their energy. You know, first at the top, I just want to acknowledge, I think, that this commission, and just certainly speaking for myself, are strong advocates for missing middle housing types in our growing city. And, you know, It strikes me as worth observing that within the context of low-scale residential, for which this is noted for future land use, R6 could accommodate missing middle housing types. And I think as it relates to the work…”

“Just a very brief follow-up. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, because I have a lot of respect and appreciation for my colleague, Commissioner Shelburne, and I just wanted to acknowledge, I think with this scenario, again, what's challenging for me is that we can pursue missing middle housing within a future land use that's aligned with the context. And I think that it's relevant and worth, again, noting that thousands, tens of thousands of members of our community participated in sharing their voices, their thoughts, their concerns, their hopes, their dreams, their aspirations for the future growth…”

“I move to recommend adoption of the proposed consistency statement dated September 22nd, 2026, contain the agenda materials and recommend denial of the zoning amendment after consideration of the policies, maps, and other materials included as a part of the comprehensive plan the Planning Commission determines The proposed zoning amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan and other adopted plans, but inconsistent with the future land use map, and the request should be denied. Action is taken as reasonable and in the public interest because existing zoning is sufficient. This is with…”

“I would invite a motion on the matter. Mr. Chairman, I'm prepared to make a motion. Please go ahead. I move to recommend adoption of the proposed consistency statement dated September 22nd, 2026, contained in the agenda materials, and I recommend approval of the zoning amendment. This is with regard to zoning case number Z1326.”

“Just briefly, I don't believe I received that email, so no harm on my end. But with regard to the text change committee, I would like to kindly ask our colleagues on the committee, I believe that's Commissioners Baird, Commissioners Sanchez, Commissioner Wakai, of course myself, and Commissioner Ott-Wells, always welcome. Well, everyone's always welcome, but my point is that We have a meeting scheduled for Wednesday, October 21st. There are two items that we anticipate being scheduled for review. And so with this particular upcoming text change committee, we would love for our members to show…”

“I love the three to five. I guess, yeah, can I get a show of hands on who would be available for the three to five time frame for Tech Exchange Committee on Wednesday, October 21st? I'm seeing Commissioner Omokai. Commissioner Cochran could join if needed as an alternate.”

“Oh, are you really? Well, it's great to have you. That is good to know. I'm loving it. This Tech Exchange Committee is the best. We just need three, so I think we're covered with three, although again, all are welcome, all are welcome. You never know, something might come up. So Commissioner Cochran is also on the committee, love that. Big fan. Okay, well with that, I think we'll proceed.”
