SNIFFEN <br />IN REPLY REFER TO: <br />AIR -EP <br />20.0056 <br />PLANNING DEPT <br />APR 20 2020 ah11:31 <br />RECD BY NAIL <br />Subject: Planning Director Initiated An Ordinance Amending Chapter 25, Article 1 and <br />Article 5 of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as amended) Relating to <br />Primary Airports <br />The Department of Transportation, Airports Division (DOT -A), has reviewed the proposed <br />amendment to establish a land use called "Primary Airport" by adding a definition, identifying <br />accessory land uses, and adding the land use as a permitted use within the County's General <br />Industrial (MG) zoning district. Presently, some necessary accessory land uses at State airport <br />facilities are not defined in the County of Hawaii Zoning Code. The amendment is to align <br />accessory land uses at DOT -A airports with the Hawaii County Zoning Code, and to facilitate a <br />DOT -A request to allow conference centers and overnight accommodations (hotel) to support <br />airport operations on airport property. <br />DOT -A supports the amendments and offers the following comments: <br />Section 25-5-152. Permitted uses (in the MG district): <br />(a) The following uses shall be pennitted in the MG district: <br />(48) Primary Airports <br />pursuant to relevant sections of Hawaii Revised Statutes, Chapter 261 and <br />Chapter 262. <br />DOT -A appreciates and supports the County of Hawaii's action to address this zoning <br />inconsistency and looks forward to further discussions regarding the proposed zone amendment. <br />Planning Dept. <br />Exhibit 2 -,APR <br />SCANNED <br />t,„1325 2d/ <br />
