amended to state: "Transient accommodation" means the furnishing of a room, <br />apartment, suite, single family dwelling, or the like to a transient for [less than one <br />hundred eighty consecutive days] thirty consecutive days or less. [for each lotting in a <br />hotel, apartment hotel, motel, condominium or units as defined in chapter 5 HB, <br />cooperative apartment, dwelling unit, or rooming house that provides living quarters, <br />regularly furnished to transients. (Reference section 237D 1, Hawai`i Revised Statutes.) <br />"Transient" accommodation rental" means transient accommodation excluding: (1) <br />Hotel, motels, and inn's; Apartment hotels; Boarding facilities; Lodges; and Timeshares.] <br />Reason: The Planning Department has been instrumental in implementing and regulating <br />short-term vacation rentals, which are dwelling units of which the owner or operator does <br />not reside on the building site, that has no more than five bedrooms for rent on the <br />building site and is rented for thirty consecutive days or less. Therefore, the Planning <br />Department has already established a set of operational standards and regulations in place <br />for short-term vacation rentals that are in operation for thirty consecutive days or less.
