HCC §28-6

How district boundary changes are reviewed

Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗

When someone asks to change a land use district boundary, the county must check the request against the purposes of the current and proposed districts and the county's general plan. The change cannot be approved unless it fits the general plan, but the request can be combined with a separate request to change the general plan.
