Recommendation#5 <br /> Change Section 25-4-XX (a)(1)(C) as follows: <br /> (C) [- . .. ' - - .. . . . • - : - •- <br /> -- <br /> -- . . . - ., -. . . . ..- -- -. - . . . :-- -• .] All zoning <br /> districts, except Open, situated in the General Plan Resort and Resort Node areas, <br /> provided that a use permit is obtained in the RS zoning district. <br /> Reason: The General Plan LUPAG Map is meant to broadly show where various zoning <br /> districts should be located within the County. It is not meant to identify specific permitted <br /> land uses within the zoning districts. That was never the intent of the LUPAG Map.The <br /> suggested revised language would have the same intent as Bill 108, Draft 4 but would <br /> clearly reference the zoning districts rather than the General Plan designation.This would <br /> allow for STVR's to be listed in each `Permitted Use' section of the zoning code for each <br /> zoning district in the Resort and Resort Node areas. For example, section 25-5-32(a), <br /> (Permitted Uses for the RM district) of the Zoning Code, should state, "Short-term <br /> vacation rentals, in areas designated Resort and Resort Node by the General Plan". <br /> Recommendation#6 <br /> Add the following to Section 25-4-XX(a): <br /> "(3) Special Permits in the State land use agricultural district shall not be issued to permit <br /> short-term vacation rentals in farm dwellings since State law (HRS 205-4.5(a)(4)) <br /> requires farm dwellings be used to house farm workers rather than vacationers." <br /> Reason: <br /> State law allows the Planning Commissions to issue a Special Permit for any land use <br /> that is reasonable and unusual and is consistent with the State land use law related to <br /> lands within the state land use (SLU)Agricultural district, even if the land use is not <br /> specifically listed in the zoning code as a permitted use for that zoning district. Farm <br /> dwellings are all dwellings situated on lots created after June 4, 1976, and additional farm <br /> dwellings on lots created before June 4, 1976 in the SLU Agricultural district.They are <br /> defined as a single-family dwelling located on and used in connection with a farm or <br /> where agricultural activity provides income to the family occupying the dwelling.
