Urging Each Of The County Councils To Adopt Supplemental Rules Pursuant To Section 514b-6, Hawaii Revised Statutes, To Ensure Conformance Of Condominium Property Regimes To The Purposes And Provisions Of County Zoning And Development Ordinances And Chapter 205, Hawaii Revised Statutes, Including Section 205-4.6, Hawaii Revised Statutes, Where Applicable.

Impact

The resolution aims to tackle issues where condominium property regimes may bypass important county subdivision requirements, potentially disrupting the long-term viability of agricultural land use. With the current laws allowing for developments to occur without sufficient oversight or approval from county agencies, the resolution seeks to promote a coordinated approach that supports county infrastructure and land use goals. Enhanced county regulation could lead to a more sustainable approach to land development that balances agricultural use with residential needs.

Summary

Senate Resolution 149 urges county councils in Hawaii to adopt supplemental rules under section 514B-6 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes. The purpose of this resolution is to ensure that condominium property regimes conform to county zoning regulations and development ordinances, as well as relevant provisions in chapter 205 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes. This initiative is particularly relevant given the growing interest in agricultural land development in areas such as Kunia, which has raised concerns about effective planning and regulation by local authorities.

Contention

A point of contention may arise from developers and landowners who benefit from the current lax regulations that allow for quicker development without county oversight. The resolution introduces a degree of oversight that could be seen as a hindrance to development processes, potentially leading to disputes between development interests and regulatory bodies. Additionally, it calls for the City and County of Honolulu to enforce land use ordinances and demolish illegal structures, raising the stakes for compliance and enforcement in the region.
