HCC §30-8
Development agreements must match county plans
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗The County council can only approve a development agreement if it matches the county's general plan and any community development plans in effect at that time. If the plans conflict, the general plan wins. The county can process a development agreement at the same time as other land use applications for the same property.

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.
No development agreement shall be entered into unless the County council finds that the provisions of the proposed development agreement are consistent with the County’s general plan and any applicable community development plans adopted by the County council as of the effective date of the development agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the general plan and the applicable community development plan, the County general plan shall prevail. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prohibit concurrent processing of a development agreement and any other land use application for that subject property, including but not limited to an amendment to governmental land use designation, district, zoning, or any special or use permits.
