§ 25-2-7 H AWAI‘I C OUNTY C ODE Section 25-2-7. Utilization of approvals within two years. Whenever any permit or approval issued under this chapter, not otherwise conditioned, except for any amendment of this chapter reclassifying a zoning district, has not been utilized within a period of two years from the date of the written permit or approval, the director shall initiate proceedings to invalidate the permit or approval. The proceeding to invalidate the permit or approval shall require written notice to the owner or person who has been issued the permit or approval prior to either the director or the commission taking action to invalidate the permit or approval. In the event that an appeal is filed regarding any permit or approval issued under this chapter, the two- year period provided for under this section shall not commence to run until a final decision is rendered in the appeal.

Every administrative action for any given building site becomes void upon the changing of the district within which the building site lies unless the action is for the approval of an existing nonconforming use or structure, or such administrative action deals with a regulation which is precisely the same under the regulations of the new district or unless the administrative action is taken with full knowledge of a proposed or impending change of district, in which case the approval of such administrative action shall state that the action is equally acceptable under the existing and proposed or impending specified new district. (1996, ord 96-160, sec 2; ratified April 6, 1999.)25-2-8 Section 25-2-9. Applications including lesser actions; concurrent applications. (a) An application for any administrative action, meaning any action requiring approval of only the director and not the commission, may include a request for a lesser action without payment of any additional filing fee provided that any notice of any required hearing shall contain information relating to the total requested or contemplated action. (b) Two or more applications involving the same building site or the same project requiring commission action may be considered concurrently by the commission, provided that the commission decision on each application shall be issued separately by the commission. (c) An action to amend this chapter may be considered concurrently with other administrative and commission actions, but an application to amend this chapter must be filed independently of other applications for administrative or commission action, and any decision on an application for an amendment to this chapter shall be issued separately from decisions on other administrative or commission requests.
