The ordinance, as written (Honolulu County) — Plan review uses - Purpose and intent
A copy, taken August 22, 2026. The version published by Honolulu is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
(a) The purpose of this section is to establish a review and approval mechanism for uses of a permanent and institutional nature which, because of characteristics fundamental to the nature of the use, provide essential community services but could also have a major adverse impact on surrounding land uses.
(b) It is the intent that the design and siting of structures and landscaping, screening, and buffering for these uses be master planned so as to minimize any objectionable aspects of the use or the potential incompatibility with other uses permitted in the zoning district.
