You know, I'm looking at the B&B definition, there's a maximum of ten people <br /> that can stay at a B&B <br /> at any one time for overnight accommodation and it has to be less than a period of <br /> 30 days. So, <br /> there are some nuances and special experiences that people have offered up. So, I <br /> would like for <br /> there to be additional public discussion before we take this into consideration as a <br /> legislative <br /> body. But I do just want to emphasize because I did have some constituents, you <br /> know, write in, "I <br /> have a B&B, will I lose it?" You're grandfathered in. Again, this entitlement runs <br /> with the land. <br /> MS. KIMBALL: Can I speak to that? Yeah. Actually, that was something that <br /> came up in the <br /> deliberations about having some language in the Code that referred to the B&B <br /> program that would no <br /> longer exist, and it was the recommendation of the Clerk that our Code, as it's <br /> current form, is <br /> what's going on right now. It should be contemporary, whereas if permits existed <br /> from previous <br /> Code, that lives in that old Code. But the current Code shouldn't refer to a <br /> program that doesn't <br /> exist moving forward. So, that's why it's just fully eliminated even <br /> though existing permits would be honored. <br /> ACTING CHR. INABA: Thank you. With that, I'm in support of moving it to the <br /> Commissions as well. <br /> Though I do think similar to some of the real property tax bills that we pass-I hear <br /> what you're <br /> saying in terms of having the Code be current, but some of these things that are <br /> being eliminated <br /> are current day rules that govern bed-and-breakfast. So,I'm thinking another <br /> approach to this <br /> might be to simply put into Code that we won't be allowing further applications <br /> just so that <br /> everything that governs the bed-and-breakfast currently would continue to <br /> stand and we wouldn't be looking at a Code that might be missing those <br /> governing rules. <br /> (emphasis added) <br /> See transcript of January 23, 2023 meeting of PolicyCommittee on Planning, Land Use, and <br /> Development, Pages 29-34. hApS7Hrecords.hawaii county,uov/weblink/DocView.aspx? <br /> dbid=0&id=1073059&12age=1&cr=1 <br /> The public should not have to spend their time continuously testifying. Please just pass Bill <br /> 122 back with an unfavorable recommendation or suggesting an amendment to the Code that <br /> the County will not be allowing further applications for bed and breakfasts use permits and <br /> special permits, for the reasons set out above. <br />
