SUBJECT: Request to. Refer Bill 63 Back to the Policy Committee on Planning, Land
Use and Economic Development
The Kona Community Development Plan (CDP) Action Committee (AC) met on Tuesday,
January 13, 2026, at the West Hawai'i Civic Center. Among the agenda items was a discussion
regarding Hawai'i County Council Bill 63, relating to dwellings.
Following the discussion, the AC voted to formally request that Bill 63 be referred back to the
Policy Committee on Planning, Land Use, and Economic Development for further discussion
and refinement. The AC believes that additional discussion would be beneficial and respectfully
requests an opportunity to engage further on this matter and provide additional comments to
help inform the legislative process.
Mahalo for your time, consideration, and continued commitment to thoughtful and collaborative
policymaking on issues that impact our communities.
Sincerely,,
VOAA pa
