HCC §23-110
Small lots in agricultural areas
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This section allows smaller lots than one acre in agricultural zones only if the planning director approves it as a plantation community subdivision and the area is rezoned to urban. If that doesn't work, the subdivision can be handled under other state rules.
