HCC §25-6-20

Why cluster housing plans are allowed

Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗

This section explains why cluster plan development exists. It lets builders group homes on less land than usual in single-family residential zones, as long as the total number of homes stays the same. This helps keep open space, trees, play areas, and nice views.

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.

The purpose of cluster plan development (C.P.D.) is to provide exceptions to the density requirements of the single-family residential (RS) district so that permitted density of dwelling units contemplated by the minimum building site requirements is maintained on an overall basis and desirable open space, tree cover, recreational areas, or scenic vistas are preserved. (1996, ord 96-160, sec 2; ratified April 6, 1999.) 25-6-20
