The Garden Island points out this morning that the county is soliciting comments on phase one of the CZO update.
The phase one draft is available here. Most interestingly, it incorporates the amendments made to the CZO since its adoption in 1972, including the Transient Vacation Rental Ordinances 864, 876, and 904, the Open District Ordinance 896, the Additional Dwelling Unit Ordinances 843 and 886, the Shoreline Setback Ordinances 863 and 887, the Enforcement Ordinance 883, the Farm Worker Housing Ordinance No.903, and the Transient Accommodation Unit Certificate Allocation Program Ordinance 912.
It also contains some stylistic changes, the most evident of which involved removing the 'generally permitted uses' and 'uses requiring special permit' subsections from the various zoning district sections, and putting the information into an ostensibly more user-friendly "Table of Uses."
According to the county's web page on the update, substantive changes recommended by the consulting company hired to produce the drafts won't appear until phase two: "The second phase will show the newly reformatted document with recommended substantive changes to the code in a Ramseyered format which will be forthcoming after the first phase has been completed."
(Ramseyered formatting is a drafting convention required for administrative rule-making under HRS § 91-4.1. It involves underscoring any language being proposed to be added, and bracketing any language being proposed to be deleted from the ordinance).
