Each District shall extend for a specified <br /> distance on either side of the roadway to allow for the adoption of specific standards and <br /> conditions within the District in order to preserve, maintain, protect, or enhance the <br /> intrinsic character of the corridor. The permitted uses defined by the underlying zoning <br /> classification will remain in place. <br /> The accompanying draft bill to amend Chapter 25, Zoning Code, of the Hawaii County Code, is <br /> provided for your favorable consideration. <br /> <br />
