HCC §23-7
When subdivision rules do not apply to lot consolidation
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This section says that the subdivision rules in this chapter do not apply when you consolidate or resubdivide land and the number of lots stays the same or goes down. However, the director can still require improvements for public safety after talking with other officials.
