AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAP. 25, ARTICLE 2, DIVISION 4, SECTION 25-2-45 OF
THE HAWAII COUNTY CODE 1983 (2005 EDITION) WITH RESPECT TO
NON-SIGNIFICANT ZONING CHANGES.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Purpose. The Zoning Code allows some zoning changes, called
"nonsignificant zoning changes", to be done administratively bythe planning director, rather than
by action of the county council. The purpose of this ordinance is to cleazly limit the scope of
such changes so that only small changes, not affecting more than five percent of any lot or one
acre, whichever is less, can be made without the county council enacting a rezoning ordinance.

"Section 25-2-45. Nonsigni£?cant zoning changes.
~ The director may administratively grant any nonsignificant zoning change. A nonsignificant
zoning change must comply with the designations for the property set forth in the general plan
and any development plan adopted by ordinance, and not result in an increase or decrease in any
zoning designation affecting more than five percent of the area, or one acre, of anv lot,
whichever is less.[ must either:
(1) Not result in a net increase in the density allowed in the zoning district(s) containing the
affected area; or
(2) Be the lesser of a five percent or one acre increase or decrease in the area of any zoning
district(s).]
(b) The applicant for a nonsignificant zoning change shall give notice to surrounding owners and
lessees of record pursuant to sec 25-2-4 and shall post a sign for public notification as provided
