HRS §206N-4
When small wireless facilities do not need zoning approval
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗Small wireless facilities and changed utility poles that meet the height limits in section 206N-5(c) are allowed without zoning review or approval if they are in the right of way in any zone, or outside the right of way on property not zoned only for conservation. This does not change existing permits for wireline backhaul in the right of way.
