(Planning Director Initiated) (Area: Approx. 11,185.708 acres)
Due to the lack of quorum, the Leeward Planning Commission forwards its unfavorable
recommendation to repeal the change of zoning district clarification for five parcels
located approximately 1.2 miles east of the Hawaii Belt Road in the vicinity of
Greenwell Mountain Road and extending approximately 8.6 miles further east. The
repeal would revert the zoning of these lands back to the Agricultural 20-acres (A-20a)
zoning district.
