The proposed amendment will specifically <br />amend Sections 25-2-61(a), 25-2-71(c), 25-2-76(b through e), 25-4-7(a), 25-5-52(d), 25-5-62(d) and <br />25-5-72(d). This is a housekeeping matter that seeks to provide consistency among different sections <br />of the Zoning Code relating to bed and breakfast establishments. <br /> <br />KERN: Applicant No. 4, Planning Director initiated amendment to Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the <br />Hawai‘i County Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended) relating to bed and breakfast establishments. <br />The proposed amendment will specifically amend Sections 25-2-61(a), 25-2-71(c), 25-2-76(b through <br />e), 25-4-7(a), 25-5-52(d), 25-5-62(d) and 25-5-72(d). With that, we’ll go to Jeff. <br /> <br />DARROW: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. <br /> <br />KERN: You’re welcome. <br /> <br />DARROW: This may look familiar to you because it has been before you in the past. And we had to <br />postpone it because of the fact that the original ordinance, draft ordinance, conflicted as a result of the <br />crematorium bill that had gone up the Council previously. That particular bill has reached Council; <br />and I believe it has passed at this time. And so what we’ve done is created an amended ordinance <br />which brings it into consistency with the changes that occurred previously with the crematorium bill. <br />So there are really just some minor changes in the updated ordinance. But we just needed to wait for <br />that ordinance to pass previously. <br /> <br />1 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
