The ordinance, as written (Hawaiʻi County) — Purpose and applicability
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 CG (general commercial) district applies to an area suitable for commercial uses and services on a broad basis to serve as the central shopping or principal downtown area for a city or a region. (b) No CG district shall be established until there is a demonstrated need for such action and no two CG districts shall be established in such relationship to each other that they cannot act as one center and yet are too close together to serve two distinct regions.
