RE: Bi1179 - Pazking Ordinance
Dear Chairman Hoffman:
We are writing to you as a landowner of several properties in North Kona regarding our
concerns with Bill 79. WE RESPECTFULLY OBJECT TO BILL 79, AND REQUEST
THAT THE COUNCIL VOTE AGAINST PASSING BILL 79.
Our objection to Bill 79 is based on the following:
1. There is no clear or rational nexus for the proposed parking requirements
contained within the Bill. A nexus study must be prepared with supporting
technical justification for any increases or decreases in parking requirements.
2. Property owners with existing zoning and approvals that have obtained
discretionary permits have vested property rights. Imposing additional parking
requirements is illegal under the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment as
interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment on Bill 79, and appreciate your consideration
of our comments.
Respectfully,
Brian G. Rupp
The Shopoff Group
