Committee review before a variance decision
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗Before the director makes a final decision on a variance request, the application is sent to a design committee for review and advice. The committee has 25 days to give its written recommendation. If it doesn't, the director can decide based on the rules in division 6, unless the applicant agrees to an extension.
