S.D.1 <br /> RELATING TO CONDOMINIUM PROPERTY REGIMES <br /> <br /> I have reviewed the referenced bill and sumit this testimony in strong sunnort of the intent <br /> and stated purpose of this legislation. <br /> <br /> This bill would make it clear that all condominium property regimes (CPR) are subject to <br /> county zoning and subdivision ordinances and rules. While it is clear that, for CPR <br /> projects in a Multiple Family Residential (apartment type structure) zoned districts, the <br /> number of units allowable must comply to county codes, there are no clear provisions for <br /> <br /> properties in the Agricultural zoned districts. This has caused a proliferation of multiple <br /> units and structures on parcels in the agricultural district, and the process to address <br /> adequate infrastructure required through the subdivision code has not been followed. <br /> <br /> This practice, in turn, has led to significant local controversy, costly legal challenges, and <br /> the inability of Hawai'i County to properly address the impacts these kinds of projects <br /> have on the community in which they are located. There is a widespread feeling among <br /> Kona residents that the establishment of the CPR under H.R.S. 514A did not envision this <br /> result. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 77-6399 Nalani St., Suite 1-A Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 96740 Kona Telephone: (808) 326-5684 Fax: (808) 326-5697 <br />
