It's known as the "purple spot" and it has been a source of contention on the Waianae Coast.
Tonight, a group of mostly senior residents met with their Councilman Tom Berg to explain why they don't want the area re-zoned.
This all has to do with proposed changes to the Waianae Sustainable Communities Plan.
In two weeks, the full City Council will have its third and final reading of the plan.
And one of the proposed changes has to do with the so called "purple spot."
The "purple spot" is an area about two miles mauka of Farrington Highway, at the end of Lualualei Naval Road.
"The light green is preservation land. The dark green is agricultural land. So originally the purple area which is industrial zoning was also dark green agricultural zone."
Creating an industrial zone in Lualualei Valley in the middle of ag land is a proposed change these Waianae Coast residents are opposed to.
"We have enough problems going in and out of the Nanakuli area, don't we? We hear for some people in Makaha it takes two hours to get home," said Alice Greenwood, Makaha resident.
They call themselves the Concerned Elders of Waianae.
"What assurance do we have as a community that the purple spot will be removed?"
They say Councilman Tom Berg has not given them a straight answer thus far on how he feels.
"Mr. Berg waited till the last day of the last moment to make the decision that everybody said is his responsibility to make."
But tonight, they got an answer from him -- the answer they were hoping for.
Berg said he will propose to remove the "purple spot" during the full council's meeting in two weeks.
"The odds are pretty good. I'm going to if I could, say it would be a nine-nothing vote to remove the purple spot," said Tom Berg, Honolulu City Council.
Berg says he's been on the fence about the topic because he feels an industrial park would create more jobs for the people of the Waianae Coast.
"What this means is we need to find a more suitable plot, that can make this marriage and bring both sides together instead of this divisiveness," said Berg.
The third and final reading of the plan is scheduled for Wednesday, February 15th at 10am at Kapolei Hale.
