Read the official text at ecode360.com ↗

The county must periodically check certain lands that are zoned Open District but planned for other uses like housing. The first check is due by September 1, 1977, and then every five years after that. This review makes sure the land is still not needed for its planned use.

A copy, taken August 22, 2026. The version published by Kauaʻi County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.

In some cases, lands have been included in the Open District that are designated for Residential or other use in the County General Plan. Such Open District zoning reflects a judgment that such lands are not now needed for the uses indicated in the General Plan. To assure timely consideration of whether such need has arisen, the Planning Commission shall review the status of such lands no later than five years after September 1, 1972, and every succeeding five years thereafter.
