PC-58 Page 3 October 20,2020 <br /> accessory uses are allowed by "State Code" which would not be a simple fix by the County <br /> because the State overrides the County. Mr. Darrow clarified that in urban districts, the County <br /> has home rule. <br /> Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder asked if the Hilo qualifies as a primary airport, and if this code would <br /> apply to the Hilo airport as well. Mr. Darrow confirmed, "yes". Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder asked <br /> if a hotel was in the works for the Hilo Airport. Mr. Wong Yuen said there is nothing formal in <br /> the works. <br /> Ms. David thanked the Planning Department for bringing conformity to the zoning uses at Kona <br /> Airport. She noted that the accessory uses must be built on publicly owned lands and asked how <br /> much land the airport has. Mr. Wong Yuen said that at 4,000 acres, Kona Airport is the largest <br /> airport in the State, but most of the acreage is conservation land. <br /> Mr. Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder asked about the size of the Hilo Airport. Mr. Wong Yuen said it is <br /> about 1,300 acres, carved out of DHHL (Department of Hawaiian Home Lands). Mr. Kaneali`i- <br /> Kleinfelder asked if DHHL lands are considered publicly owned lands. Mr. Wong Yuen said he <br /> believes so. <br /> Committee Chair Kierkiewicz stated there are a number of existing uses that need to be brought <br /> into compliance with the Zoning Code, which is what this bill does. She continued that this is the <br /> County's responsibility, and it is playing its role in helping the State implement their Master <br /> Plan. <br /> The vote was taken on the motion to move this measure to Council with a positive <br /> recommendation and passed with eight "ayes" with Committee Member Poindexter absent. <br /> Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 199, and <br /> recommends its passage on first reading. <br /> jb <br /> AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> CHUNG X <br /> DAVID X C•'1 MITTEE ON PLANNING <br /> EOFF X <br /> KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER X <br /> KIERKIEWICZ X <br /> LEE LOY X <br /> POINDEXTER X ASHLEY L.
