SECTION 2. Section 25-2-45, Hawai'i County Code, is amended to read as follows: "Section 25-2-45. Nonsignificant zoning changes. La) The director may administratively grant any nonsignificant zoning change. A nonsignificant zoning change must comply with the designations for the property set forth in the general plan and any development plan adopted by ordinance, and not result in an increase or decrease in anv zoning designation affecting more than five percent of the area, or one acre, of any lot, whichever is less. must either: (1) Not result in a net increase in the density allowed in the zoning district(s) containing the affected area; or (2) Be the lesser of a five percent or one acre increase or decrease in the area of any zoning district(s).] (b) The pplicant for a nonsignificant zoning change shall give notice to surrounding owners and lessees of record pursuant to sec 25-2-4 and shall post a sign for public notification as provided by section 25-2-12." -1- EXHIBIT
