The ordinance, as written (Hawaiʻi County) — Method of determining number of loading spaces
A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Hawaiʻi County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
(a) The gross floor area of a building shall be used to determine the required number of loading spaces for that building. (b) When a building is used for more than one use, and the gross floor area for each use is below the minimum requiring a loading space, and the aggregate gross floor area of the several uses exceeds the minimum floor area of the use category requiring the greatest number of spaces, at least one loading space shall be required. (c) The number of loading spaces required may be adjusted to fifty percent of the required number when such spaces are assigned to serve two or more uses jointly, provided that each use has access to the loading zone without crossing public streets or sidewalks. (d) When computation of required loading space results in a fractional number, the number of spaces required shall be the next highest whole number.
