HCC §25-6-11
When buildings can be taller than usual
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This section allows buildings approved under a P.U.D. permit to be taller than the normal height limits for their zoning district, but only up to 75 feet. If the zoning district already allows a higher limit, the building can use that higher limit instead.
