RE: Bill 280, Drag 6 -Proposed amendments and review efforts to date -
Considering that within the Hawaii County Taxation District. during the year 2000;
~ over 85% of businesses were sole proprietors (19,048 of 22,371 total businesses), and
up to 27`/0 of the work force were self-emp)oyed (19,04$ proprietors of 69,600 )oral
civilian workforce, Hawau State Data Book),
the potential impact of an overly restrictive commercial sign code on our community economy
could be significant. We have heard repeated testimony from smap business that changin~ one
sign can change business revenues up to 30%. Therefore, we appreciate the opportunity to
submit proposals for sign code in support of small business. i
Please find attached, our first submission of proposed amendments to Bill 280, Drag 6 which
addresses our main concerns: 1) clarifying definitions to improve user understanding , 2) updating
boundaries within Kailas Village Design District, 3) revising wde to support basic commercial
si$ttage, and 4) revise enforcement sections to ctarify enforocment personnel, to delete aritninal
prosecution and reinstate written notification and civil fines as lead enforcement actions.
For an overview of the proposed amendments, we have prepared Attachmenrt A -Commercial
Signage Summary with the proposed changes noted. We have also enclosed Attachment B -
Table of Convents for Bill 280 for your use while reviewing our proposals,
We arc requesting consideration for another bill deferment at the July 23`" Council meeting to
allow time to gain input from additional business groups, and to reviow additional areas of the
code (e.g., consistency of content organization between Articles; portable sign definition and
specification code; new business temporary sign specifications; consistency of time period, allowed
for temporary signs; allowances and area calculations for tri-sided directory side).
Lastly, we are requesting that the Council consider revising the ettbctive date of the bill to' 60 days
after the Department completes a mass mailing of a user-fiiendly pamphlet (development per
Section 3-48) to all registered businesses and property owners within the Hawaii Taxation
District. A direct mailing will notably heighten awareness and compliance by well-inte~rciQned
business owners, and thereby reduce the coat and incidence of enforcement action toward
uninformed business owners.

I. RE'VTSE/ADD OE1vERAL DEFINITIONS TO IMPROVE READABILTfY AND
CONSISTENCY WITAIN COUNTY CODES
A) Proposed amendments -revise definitions for I) `Street, add definitions for 2) `Street
Frontage' and 3) `Pedestrian Way':
i) Section 3.3 (28)'Stteet' means
aright-of-wav for veb~ •t~~r,,,~urnp,.g or pedestrian traiTi~ or
a private right-ofwav for veht~_n_~r py fyose:_ ~ti:~6 provides direct or indirect access
to property.
2) Section 3-3 (MM) `Street frontaae' means that portion ..t'. ti:tilding.;+~ *ti~t R~- e
co~amon line with a ~,,ireet right-of--way line The street frontage is designated sa the
tlrbnt urooerty line.
3)~iSectioa 3-3 (MMl `pedestrian wav' means a pubi ~f way tbrougb s block
bdtweeg lots for ttedestrian traic which may also be es e s nfi ItV end
whit has a roazimum width of twenty feet.
Rationale: incorporating definitions will improve readability and application (e.g., since
limitations differ for frontage versus sides or rear of a building, including a definition for
street fromage clarifies which side of a building the code would apply), These definitions
are consistent with the currert County Zoning Code.
B) Proposed amendments -revise deRnitions for I) `Sign', 2) `Window Sign', 3) `Paimed
Window Sign', 4) `Temporary Painted Window Sign', 5) `Temporary Siga' and 6)'Diratory
Sign':
1)' Section 3-3 (27) "Sign" means any device, figure, painting, drawitsg, placard, awning,
canopy, street clock, including any announcement, declaration, demolotr, ~iepla~,
illustration, insignia, or message which is:
(A) used to advertise or promote the imerests of any person or entity or to
wmmunicate information of ate' kind to the public;
(B)' placed on or applied to real properly outdoors, attached to the exterior of
~ buildings or structures or br applied to the exterior or interior surface
of a window; and
~ (C) visible from any street or pedestrian wav.
A,'sign also includes, but is not limited to, any pictorial representations, letters, numerals,
emblems, flags, banners, pennants, inscriptions, or patterns whether affixed to a building,
painted or otherwise depicted on orwilhin a building, or placed separate from any
building; provided traffic control devices prescribed by Chapter 291C, Iiawaii Revised

Statutes, shall not be construed as signs under this chapter.
Rationale: deleting `demonstration' and `display' excludes potential sign restriction to
`open air' markets and/or display of products out of doors (i.e., farmer's markets, display
and demonstration by street artists, sidewalk safes, display of products out of doors);
deleting `is placid on' and `or within' limits sign restrictions to the `outside' of business
property doors and limits `inside' business property restrictions to sign applications to a
window surface, as specified above.
2) Section 3-3 "Window sign" means any sign which is applied
d~ the inside or outside of a window surface and which is readily visible to the
general public from any street or osdeshisn wav.
Rationale: improves user readability and application (e.g, limits window sign restrictions
to the surfaces on the interior of business properties and eliminates problem with
detertniiung how far into the inerior of a window surface the code may apply) Adding
`or pedestrian way' improves consistency between code with proposed change for
. revising/adding street, street frontage and pedestrian way definitions.
3) ~~Section 3-3 {22) "Painted window signs" means any sign painted on a window wMch
Rationale: improves wnsistency between window dcfiniticros and other definitions. Siu
s fications would more appropriately be incorporated within Section 3-11 (ti) and
S 'on 3-58 (5), and designation a window sign as `in lieu of a wall sign' would require
amendment to code related to wall and window signs.
4)
Rationale: deletes unnecessary definition since term is not used within document.
5) Section 3-3 (30) `°i'emporary sign' means any sign which is not permanently installed
or constructed as required under lliviaion 8 and 9, such as outdoor decorations or
advertising devi
beitrt,?l~eM. , , ' ,
R tionale: deleting `if displayed on the premises where the evem, meeting or series of
m~ings will be held.' expands this definition to include all temporary signs used to
prbpomote special events. Deleting the remainder improves consistency with other sign
d bons and allows/does not conflict with proposed code exemptions for temporary
si s `announcing new businesses' and `advertising temporary status of a property'.

6)I Section 3-3 Directory Sign means a special type of ground or sign which
identifies and attracts attention to arty Property or premises and which lists, indicates, or
idfarti$ea gbyfJt~ bniWbtg buainers eom = ~r two or more trade-or
blmlals~a activities cnitducted oo thq,~iaes,
Rationale: expands options for directory signage (e.g., allows wall directory option for
bupldings with frontage unable to accommodate a ground sign without obstructing right-
oflway); expands de$nition to provide for signage announcing a business building or
coptptex consistent with code emtouncing a subdivision, Section 3-9(ax2).
C) Proposed amendment - add a definition for authorized personnel:
1) Section 3-3 (21 `Au hori_.ed t~nnnel' means the dir~rtnr ~.nner necessari
~7 oilicial of another d partment of the Cor.nly s of the director at his
request, and consistent with the usual datib of the atTi i~i'•
Rationale: reinstates exisking definition within current sign code, appropriately charges
Hawaii County officials with enforoemerrt action, and eliminates the potential for corttlicts
between community groups (i.c., special interest groups, private citizens, business owners)
wNiah may potentially inarease County liability regardless oflimited liability clause
included in proposed bi11(Section 3-41). This change does twt eliminate the tight of
private citizens to participate through public reporting of code violations to the
artrttent. However, it does eGminato the potential of future confrontational

FROM :KUNITRKE FRX N0, :3229949 Jul. 13 2004 0B:50AM P6
Rationale: ret3octs expansion of small business beyond the defined `core' which has
occurred along Alii Drive during the past thirty years (i.e., Waterfrom Row, Cocomrt
Grove, Huggo's on the Rocks), eliminates inequitable restrictions/lintitations between
siu4ilar businesses within special district, and takes into aeoount the probably future
business expansion in the district and/or changes which may occur In the zoning code
boundaries of the Kadua Village Design District.
B) Propos~d amendment -delete Section 3-61 (4) restricting contem of aignage within KVDD to
name of b~lsitless only:
1)
Rationale: eliminates restricting sign convent to `name of business' only within Kailas
Village Design District. Restricting a business from using signs to promote or advertise
their product (generally defined as anything produced by natural or hutnan effort) is not
reasonable.
C) Proposed amendment - revise Section 3-60 (a) to improve format consistency with related
code in Article 1 and improve business frontage signage allowance to provide for basic visibility:
1) Seotion 3-60 (a)'t-he total-Dumber of sins ner hq~gineas alis9 not exceed two a
oe1- business t}ont each of s: diRermt tvoe. uor Due .ivu ptr additional adjgcmt side
or near of a buitding„~s+ocisted Kith the bua~ess (et t ~d n directorv si al eely
Rationale: reformats Article 2 consistent with Article 1 section relating to number of
si~tts (Section 3-6 (bxl) The total number of signs per lot or business shall not exceed
tcvp per adjacem street); eliminates potential conflicting imerpretations of `one sign per
s per building frontage' or `one sign per business';
Increases front signage to allow visibility from mutti-direction approaches (e.g., a wall sign
with direct approach visibility plus a two-sided projecting sign with side approach
visibility) and equivalent number of front signs as all other businesses. '
D) Proposed amendmett - revise Section 3-58 (a)(1xA) and (B) pertaining to ground signs and
aggregate of all signage:
I) Section 3-SS (ax 1xA) If lot fromage is up to 30 lineal feet, a ground sign may not
exceed twelve square feet for any building or portion of a butlding under separate
managemem or corrtrol,

2) Section 3-58 (a)(1xB) If lot frontage is greater than 30 lineal feet, a ground sign may
not exceed twe~rty-two square feet for any building or portion of a building under separate
managemerrt or contro ,
y
Rationale: elimh~ates mia-irnorpretation that the aggregate of all signage (e.g., aggregate
of all businesses located on building frontage, aggregate of all types of signs) on a building
• frontage is limited to twelve square feet regardless of the trumber of businesses located
within that building front. To improve user readability and application, any limitations to
th$ aggregate of `all' signage on a building frontage should be specified Section 3-6. Type,
number and size of sizes permissible.
III. IMP I OVE READABILITY OF WALL SIGN CODE; CLARIFY AND E}CPAND
DIRECT~RY SIGN CODE
A) Proposed amendment -add definition for adjacent wali to Suction 3-3 aad revise Sections 3-11
(5)(A), 3-58 (4xA) and (B), and 3-58 (4xC) referring to wall signs:
1) Section 3-3 `Adjacent wall' is the atgment of an exterior wall of a buildiug in
rrltiCh the lulptior area directly bordered by kh~ wan is occpDiG'lLkX. ~paineas or CO-
locrted bupjueases.
Rationale: adding a de$nition for `adjacent wall' and using the teen within tho code will
clarity the specific area of an exterior wall to be assigned to individual businesses located
within amulti-business complex.
2) Section 3-11 (5) Wall Sign. {A) One wall sign, which rotates to business conducted on
thg Pro,1~ ~dem'*ear' ~jacent wall of a building aotually occupied by the
business. Each xide-ernear wall sign shall neither exceed 5fteen percent of the total
exposed area of the wall, on which the sign is
di layed, nor exceed one hundred and fifty square feet, whichever is less. 14rsigtrvtrlhe

3) Section 3-58 (4) Wall Sign. (A) If1ot frontage is up to 301ineal fat, a wall sign shall
neither exceed fiReen percent of the total exposed area of the wall of a building
actually occupied by the business on which the sign is
displayed, nor exceed twelve square feet, whichever is less.

4) Section 3-58 (4) Wall Sign. (B) If the lot frontage is greater than 30 lineaj feet, a wall
sign shall neither exceed fifteen percent of the total exposed area of the sdiacea wall of
the building actually occupied by the business for which the sign is displayed, nor exceed
twemy-two square feet, whichever is less.
Rationale: incorporating `adjacent wall' within Sections 3-11 (5xA) and 3-58 (4)(A) and
(B) as.~igns wall signage to 6usinecs located within the interior of the adjacent wall sad
excludes potential for conflicts In determining which business is allocated which portion of
the 15% of the exterior wall of a muhi-business complex.
Deleting the sections referring to `A sign...by the business (sic).', in addition to,
incorporating additional code for directory signs (following proposed aaietdmertts),
in lading, 1) expand directory sign definition to include wall or ground types, and 2)
in~lude specific sections for allowable Directory Signs, will more clearly provide for
co~cial directory signs.
5) Section 3-58 (4)(C) In the Kailas Industrial Subdivision, the maximum wall sign area
shall not exceed seventy-five square feet, norg:,reed
_ri,~,ghe
n,yereent of the to •1 e>

Rationale: clarifies 15% wall area (imitation for wall signs within Kailas Industrial
Subdivision.
B) Proposed amendments -revise Article 1, Sections 3-1 I (a) and Article 2, 3-58 to add directory
sign speafication; and revise Article 1, Section 3-6 (b)(3) relating to ground signs:
