JUSTIFICATION SHEET <br /> Title: A Bill For An Act Relating to Zoning <br /> Purpose: This proposed Bill for an Act distinguishes Single-Family residential <br /> use from Single-Family vacation rental use, and allows amortization <br /> by Ordinance for Single-Family Transient Vacation Rentals over a <br /> reasonable period of time. <br /> Means: Amends Section 46-4 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes <br /> Justification: This proposed Bill was introduced by several Legislators during <br /> the 2014 Hawai`i State Legislative Session, addressing the issue <br /> regarding , Single-Family Transient Vacation Rentals and <br /> whether they should be treated as residential or resort units. It <br /> is evident that the vacation rental market has grown over the <br /> year and has significantly impacted many residential areas. <br /> The current statute allows certain vacation rental operations to <br /> circumvent many regulatory controls and claim their use is <br /> residential. To properly regulate and align non-conforming <br /> vacation rentals with other similar uses, this proposal <br /> distinguishes Single-Family residential use from Single-Family <br /> vacation rental use, and allows amortization by ordinance for <br /> Single-Family Transient Vacation Rentals over a reasonable <br /> period of time. <br /> • <br /> • <br />
