SNIFFEN <br />IN REPLY REFER TO: <br />AIR -EP <br />20.0056 <br />RCPT <br />APR 20 2020 AVI 12-� <br />Subject: Planning Director Initiated An Ordinance Amending Chapter 25, Article 1 and <br />Article 5 of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as amended) Relating to <br />Primary Airports <br />RSE1,22"D BY i - <br />The Department of Transportation, Airports Division (DOT -A), has reviewed the proposed <br />amendment to establish a land use called "Primary Airport" by adding a definition, identifying <br />accessory land uses, and adding the land use as a permitted use within the County's General <br />Industrial (MG) -zoning district. Presently, some necessary accessory land uses at State airport <br />facilities are not defined in the County of Hawaii Zoning Code. The amendment is to align <br />accessory land uses at DOT -A airports with the Hawaii County Zoning Code, and to facilitate a <br />DOT -A request to allow conference centers and overnight accommodations (hotel) to support <br />airport operations on airport property. <br />DOT -A supports the amendments and offers the following comments: <br />Section 25-5-152. Permitted uses (in the MG district): <br />(a) The following uses shall be permitted in the MG district: <br />48 Primary Airports, <br />pursuant to relevant sections of Hawaii Revised Statutes, Chapter 261 and <br />Chapter 262. <br />DOT -A appreciates and supports the County of Hawaii's action to address this zoning <br />inconsistency and looks forward to further discussions regarding the proposed zone amendment. <br />Tanning EDept. xha <br />Adobe Sign Transaction Number: CBJCHBCAABAAziRRb55ps2dMjDRMEyX_4V1bBG5_pVld <br />SCANNED <br />tl ?090Z <br />b&.1.2553 <br />
