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.
The hearing may be continued from time to time, but shall be completed within 30 days; except that, if the council finds that the complexity of the proposed district or the need for public participation requires additional time, the hearing may be continued from time to time for a period not to exceed six months.
The council may eliminate proposed special improvements, change the rate or method of apportionment of the proposed special tax, or remove land from the proposed district. Or, the council may add land to the proposed district, but only upon petition of the owners of 100 percent of the additional land.
After the hearing, the council may abandon the proposed establishment of the district or, after considering all protests and such other relevant factors (such as the general plan or development plan) as it deems appropriate, may proceed with establishing the district.
