FROM: Kailua Village Merchant Association, Sign Code Working Group
RE: Bill 280, Draft 6 -Proposed amendments and review efforts to date
Considering that within the Hawaii County Taxation District during the year 2000;
o~ over 85% of businesses were sole proprietors (19,048 of 22,371 total businesses), and
~ up to 27% of the work force were self-employed (19,048 proprietors of 69,600 total
civilian workforce, Hawaii State Data Book),
the potential impact of an overly restrictive commercial sign code on our community economy
could be significant. We haue heard repeated testimony from small business that changing 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.
Please find attached, our fu•st submissfion of proposed amendments to Bill 28Q Draft 6 which
addresses our main concenrs: 1) clarifying definitions to improve user understanding , 2) upriating
boundaries within Kailua Village Design District, 3) revising code to support basic commercial
signage, and 4) revise enforcement sections to clarify enforcement personnel, to delete criminal
prosecution and reinstate written notification and civil fines as lead enforcement actions.
For an overview of the proposed amendments, we have prepared Attachtnent A - Commerc.al
Signage Summary with the proposed changes noted. We have also enclosed Attachment B -
Table of Contents for Bi112,80 for your use while reviewing our proposals.
We aze requesting consideration for a~tother bill deferment at the July 23'd Council meeting to
allow time to gain input from additional business groups, and to review 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 signage).
Lastly, we are requesting that the Council consider revising the effective date of the bill to 6~ days
after the Department completes a mass mailing of auser-friendly 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-intentioned
business owners, and thereby reduce the cost and incidence of enforcement action toward
uninformed business owners.
Respectfully submitted,
Comm. No.

Page -1- 07/11/04
I. REVISE/ADD GENERAL DEFITdITIONS TO IMPROVE READABTI,ITY AND
CONSISTENCY WITHIN COUNT't' CODES
A) Proposed amendments -revise definitions for 1) `street, add definitions for 2) `Street
Frontage' and 3) `Pedestrian Way':
1) Section 3-3 (28) `Street' means iy
> > ,
>
s right-of-wav 1`or vehicular purposes or pedestrian trafl7ic, or
a private right-of way for vehicular purposes. which provides direct or indirect access
to property.
2) Section 3-3 (#il) `Street frontage' means that portion of a building yite that has a
common line with a street right-of--way line. The street frontage is designated as the
front property line.
3) Section 3-3 `Pedestrian way' menus a public right-of--way through a block
between lots for pedestrian traffic, which may also be uses as a utility easement and
which has a maximum width of twenty feet.
Rationale: incorporating definitions will improve readability and application (e.g., since
limitations differ far frontage versus sides or rear of a building, including a definition for
street frontage clarifies which side of a building the code would apply). These definitions
aze consistent with the current. County Zoning Code.
B) Proposed amendments -revise definitions for l) `Sign', 2) `Window Sign', 3) `Painted
Window Sign', 4) `Temporary Painted Window Sign', 5) `Temporary Sign' and 6) `Directory
Sign':
1) Section 3-3 (27) "Sign" means any device, figure, painting, drawing, placard, avinning,
canopy, street clock, including any announcement, declaration, '
illustration, insignia, or message which is:
(A) used to advertise or promote the interests of any person or entity or to
communicate information of any kind to the public;
(B) placed on or applied to real property outdoors, attached to the exterior of
buildings or structures or is-placed-o~ror 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 orwithin a building, or placed separate from any
building; provided traffic control devices prescribed by Chapter 291C, Hawaii Revised
Page -2- 07/11/04
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 sales, display of products out of doors);
deleting `is placed 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 a~
lp ied
directly to the inside or outside of a window surface and which is readily visible to the
general public from any street or pedestrian way.
Rationale: improves user readability and application (e.g, limits window sign restrictions
to the surfaces on the interior of business properties and ehminates problem with
determining how far into the interior of a window surface the code may apply.) Adding
`or pedestrian way' improves consistency between code with proposed change for
revising/adding street, street fi•ontage and pedestrian way definitions.
3) Section 3-3 (22) "Painted window signs" means any sign painted on a window svlhirh
Rationale: improves consistency between window definitions and other definitions. Size
specifications would more appropriately be incorporated within Section 3-11 (6) and
Section 3-58 (5), and designation a window sign as `in lieu of a wall sign' would reduire
amendment to code related to wall and window signs.
4) - m'~
Rationale: deletes unnecessary definition since term is not used within document.
5) Section 3-3 (30) "Temporary sign' means any sign which is not permanently installed
or constructed as required under Division S and 9, such as outdoor decorations or
advertising device , ifdisplay ed
, ~6
, ,
Rationale: deleting `if displayed on the premises where the event, meeting or series of
meetings will be held.' expands this definition to include all temporary signs used to
promote special events. Deleting the remainder improves consistency with other sign
definitions and allows/does not conflict with proposed code exemptions for temporary
signs `announcing new businesses' and `advertising temporary status of a property'.
Page -3- 07/11/04
6) Section 3-3 Directory Sign means a special type of ground or wall sign which
identifies and attracts attention to any property or premises and which lists, indicate>, or
identifies a business building, business complex, or two or more trade-or
martafactarirrg business activities conducted on the premises.
Rationale: expands options fa' directory signage (e.g., allows wall directory option For
buildings with frontage unable to accottunodate a ground sign without obstmcting rrght-
of-way); expands definition to provide for signage announcing a business building o!-
complex consistent with code announcing a subdivision, Section 3-9(a)(2).
C) Proposed amendment - add a definition for authorized personnel:
I) Section 3-3 f2) `Authorized personnel' meaus the director or whenever necGSSarv
any official of another department of the County assisting the director at his
request, and consistent with the usual duties of the oflicial's office.
Rationale: reinstates existing definition within current sign code, appropriately chazges
Hawaa County officials with enforcement action, and eliminates the potential for conflicts
between community groups (i.e., special interest groups, private citizens, business o,vners)
which may potentially increase County Lability regardless of limited liability clause
included in proposed bill (Section 3-41). This change does not eliminate the right of
private citizens to participate through public reporting of code violations to the
Department. However, it does eliminate the potential of future confrontational
enforcement actions by special interest groups and individuals which have occurred ?n the
past.
II. UPDATE SMALL BUSINESS SIJB-DISTRICT WITHIN KAILUA VII.LAGE DESIGN
DISTRICT TO REFLECT CURRENT 8r, FUTURE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT; IMPROVE
BILL CONSISTENCY AND EQUITABLE SIGN LIIvIITATIONS BETWEEN BUSINESSES
LOCATED W/IN KAILUA VII,LAGE DESIGN DISTRICT
A) Proposed amendments -delete definition for `Kailua Village Core' and specifically related sign
code:
1)
2) Section 3-58 (b) In any case, the total area allowed shall not exceed twelve square feet
for any sign not fronting a public street or vehicular access +rithirr
Page -4- 07/11/04
Rationale: reflects expansion of small business beyond the defined `core' which has
occurred along Alii Drive during the past thirty years (i.e., Waterfront Row, Cocomrt
Grove, Huggo's on the Rocks), eliminates inequitable restrictions/limitations between
similar businesses within special district, and takes into account the probably future
business expansion in the district and/or changes which may occur in the zoning code
boundaries of the Kailua Village llesign District.
B) Proposed amendment -delete Secl:ion 3-61 (4) restricting content of signage within KVDD to
name of business only:
1) - l
advertising.
Rationale: eliminates restricting sign content to `name of business' only within Kailua
Village Design District. Restricting a business from using signs to promote or advertise
their product (generally defined as anything produced by natural or human 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 visih~ility:
1) Section 3-60 (a) The total number of signs per business shall not exceed two signs
per business front each of a different type nor one sign ner additional adjacent side
or rear of a building associated with the business (excluding directorv signs). +Srrly
Rationale: re-formats Article 2 consistent with Article 1 section relating to number of
signs (Section 3-6 (b)(1) The total number of signs per lot or business shall not exceed
two per adjacent street); eliminates potential conflicting interpretations of `one sign per
street per building frontage' or `one sign per business';
Increases front signage to allow visibility from multi-direction approaches (e.g., a wall sign
with direct approach visibility plus atwo-sided projecting sign with side approach
visibility) and equivalent number of front signs as all other businesses.
D) Proposed amendment - revise Section 3-58 (a)(1)(A) and (B) pertaining to ground signs and
aggregate of all signage:
1) Section 3-58 (a)(1)(A) If lot frontage is up to 30 lineal feet, a ground sign may not
exceed twelve square feet for a.ny building or portion of a building under separate
management or control, , '
Page -5- 07/11/04
2) Section 3-58 (a)(1)(B) If lnt frontage is greater than 301ineal feet, a ground sign. may
not exceed twenty-two square feet for any building or portion of a building under separate
management or control,
Rationale: eliminates mis-interpretation 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 regazdless of the number of businesses located
within that building front. To improve user readability and application, any limitations to
the aggregate of `all' signage on a building frontage should be specified Section 3-6. Type,
number and size of sizes permissible.
II[, IMPROVE READA$ILITY OF WALL SIGN CODE; CLARIFY AND EXPAND
DIRECTORY SIGN CODE
A) Proposed amendment -add definition for adjacent wall to Section 3-3 and revise Sections 3-11
(5)(A), 3-58 (4)(A) and (B), and 3-5$ (4)(C) referring to wall signs:
1) Section 3-3 `Adjacent wall' is the segment of an exterior wall of a huildingrn
which the interior area directly bordered by the wall is occnnied by a bnsines ~ or co-
located businesses.
Rationale: adding a definition for `adjacent wall' and using the term within the code will
clarify 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 relates to business conducted on
the premises, per side^orrem• adjacent wall of a building actually occupied 6y the
business. Each sidr, m•-itiar wall sign shall neither exceed fifteen percent of the total
exposed area of the adiacent wall, on which the sign is
displayed, nor exceed one hundred and fifty square feet, whichever is less. zt-sigmmrrttrc
ea-of
3) Section 3-58 (4) Wall Sign, (A) If lot frontage is up to 30 lineal feet, a wall sign shall
neither exceed fifteen percent of the total exposed area of the adjacent wall of a buiiding
actually occupied by the business on which the sign is
displayed, nor exceed twelve squaze feet, whichever is less.
Page -6- 07/11/04
4) Section 3-5H (4) Wall Sign. (B) If the lot frontage is greater than 301ineal feet, .a wall
sign shall neither exceed fifteen percent of the total exposed azea of the adjacent wall of
the building actually occupied by the business for which the sign is displayed, nor er:ceed
twenty-two square feet, whichever is less.
-two
Rationale: incorporating `adjacent wall' within Sections 3-11 (5)(A) and 3-58 (4)(A) and
(B) assigns wall signage to business located within the interior of the adjacent wall rmd
excludes potential for conflicts in determining which business is allocated which portion of
the 15% of the exterior wall of amulti-business complex.
Deleting the sections referring to `A sign...by the business (sic).', in addition to,
incorporating additional code for directory signs (following proposed amendments),
including, 1) expand directory sign definition to include wall or ground types, and 21
include specific sections for allowable Directory Signs, will more clearly provide for
commercial directory signs.
5) Section 3-58 (4)(C) In the ]Cailua Industrial Subdivision, the maximum wall sign area
shall not exceed seventy-five square feet,_nor exceed fifteen percent of the total exposed
area of the adjacent wall associated with the business on which the sign is displayed,
whichever is less.
Rationale: clarifies l5% wall area limitation for wall signs within Kailua Industrial
Subdivision.
B) Proposed amendments -revise Article 1, Sections 3-11 (a) and Article 2, 3-58 to add directory
sign specification; and revise Article 1, Section 3-6 (b)(3) relating to ground signs
1) Add Section 3-11 (a) (7) pertaining to commercial directory signs:
(7j Directory Sign.
(A One ground or wall directory sign relating to two or more businesses
conducted nn the premises, per street and pedestrian way as follows•
(i) If lot frontage is up to 100 lineal feet,
(Il a ground directory sign may not exceed sixteen square feet
and not exceed eight feet in elevation from the ground
(Z) a wall directory sign may not exceed sixteen square feet or
fifteen percent of the total exposed area of the frontage wall.
whichever is less:
Page -7- 07/11/04
Ll IIf lot frontage is greater than 1001ineal feet
(1) a ground directory round sign may not exceed twenty four
square feet and not exceed twelve feet in elevation from the
rg
ound; -
(2) awall directory sien Wray not exceed twenty-four square
feet or fifteen percent of the total exposed area of the frontagQ
walk whichever is less;
Bl One wall or ground directory sign relating to identification of a business
buildine or business complex on thgRremises, per street frontage• as fo{Ilows•
(i) Tff lot frontage is up to 100 lineal feet. a wall or ground directa~ry
sign may not exceed sixteen square feet and not exceed eight feet in
elevation from the around.
(ii) If lot frontaee is greater than 1001ineal feet a wall or ground
directory around sign may not exceed twenty-four square feet and not
exceed twelve feet in elevation from the ground:
Rationale: clarifies option for wall directory sign; provides distinction between directory
signs announcing two or more businesses and directory signs announcing a business
building or complex; and increases the number of allowable directory signs to support
appropriate business identification.
2) Add Section 3-58 (7) pertaining to commercial directory signs within KVDD:
(7) Directory Sign.
(A) One ground or wall directory sign relating to two or more businesses
conducted on the premises per street frontage or pedestrian way as follows•
L) I1F lot frontage is up to 30 lineal feet.
(11 a ground directory sign may rrot exceed twelve square feet
and not exceed six feet in elevation from the ground,
(2) a wall directory sien may not exceed twelve sguare feet or
t"ifteen percent of the total exposed area of the frontage wall,
whichever is less:
ii If lot front~e is greater than 30 lineal feet,
(1) a ground directory ground sign may not exceed twenty-four
square feet and not exceed twelve feet iu elevg_tion from the
rog und;
(21 a wall directory sign may not exceed twenty-forrr square
feet or fifteeppercent of the total exposed area of the frontaee
wall, whichever is less:
(B) One wall or ground directory sig?r relating to identiTication of a business
building or business complex on the premises. per street frontage: as follows:
(i) Iff lot frontage is up to 30 lineal feet, a wall orgound directory sien
may not exceed twelve square feet and not exceed six feet in elevation
Page -8- 07/11/04
from the ground.
{ii) If lot frontage is greater than 1001incal feet a wall or ground
directory ground sign may not exceed twenty-four square feet and not
exceed twelve feet in elevation from the ground•
Rationale: improves readability, improves consistency of formatting within code (proposal
re-formats above sectiou to the format of related the section within Article 1, Section 3-
11),
3) Revise Section 3-6 (b)(3) pertaining to all ground signs, island-wide:
Section 3-6 (b) (3) Onfy one ground sign shall be permitted per lot, enen-iifl~lot
. unless otherwise specified within this
code.
Rationale: provides consistency with proposed change to allow one ground, directory sign
per street frontage or pedestrian way for multi-business complexes.
IV. RESTORE WRITTEN NOTIFICATION PROCEDURAL STEP IN ENFORCEMENT'
SEC PIONS, SUBSTITUTE CIVIC. F1NES FOR CRIMINAL PROSECUTION
A) revise Section 3.37 Enforcement, delete Section 3-38 Criminal prosecution revise
Section 3-42 Administrative elrforcement and incorporate into Section 3-37.
Section 3-37. Enforcement and abatement of signs
(a) The director shall enforce this chapter. Whenever necessary, any official of
another department of the County shall assist the director, if requested, consistent
with the usual and customary duties of the official's department.
(b) When the condition of any sign creates an immediate hazard and peril to the
public safety or to property, or is illegally placed within any public right-of-u~ay the
director may remove the sign summarily and without notice.
SECtion3=4~ f aj ~
