Lewin, 73 Haw. 56, 828 P.2d 802, 803 (1992). <br /> The zoning code, Section 25-1-5 Definitions, Section 25-4-16 Short-term <br /> vacation rentals, and Planning Department Rule 23, limits STVRs to a maximum of <br /> five bedrooms rented out to a single-family.'

This <br /> adversely impacts the delivery of emergency services to residents on Nene Street, the <br /> safe walkability, bikeability, and the character of the neighborhood. <br /> 1 Under the Zoning code,section 25-1-5 Definitions and Planning Department Rules of Practice and <br /> Procedure.
