2013-65 PRTCPSC-AC PVDist Ord & Design Guidelines

Home

The PRTCPSC was recognized as a subcommittee of the Puna CDP Action Committee on February 14, 2012. The purpose of these amendments is to establish the Pahoa Village (PV) district and provide special requirements for Plan Approval, Off - Street Parking and Loading, and Planned Unit Developments for properties in the PV district. The current Zoning Code does not adequately provide for growth and development within Pahoa Village that is consistent with the values and vision of the residents and businesses within the Pahoa Regional Town Center service area. Building design standards and a process for implementing those standards is necessary to not only ensure that the sense of place that residents and visitors alike identify with Pahoa is retained, but to promote an identity that will be conducive to a healthy and sustainable community. SECTION 2. Chapter 25, article 2, division 7, section 25 -2 -73 of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended), is amended to read as follows: "Section 25 -2 -73.
