COUNTY OF HAWAII - STATE OF HAWAII
ORDINANCE NO. S 4 6E
AN ORDINANCE A[4ENDING SECTION 25-212, ARTICLE 15 AND SECTION 25-220,
ARTICLE 16, CHAPTER 25 (ZONING CODE) OF THE HAWAII COUNTY CODE 1983,
AS AMENDED, RELATING TO MINIMUM YARD REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE GENERAL
AND LIMITED INDUSTRIAL ZONED DISTRICTS.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Purpose. The Council finds that industrial
buildings are normally constructed with firewalls. The Council
feels that the provision of no rear yard setback rather than
requiring a rear yard "pocket" of twenty or fifteen feet as
stipulated within the General Industrial and Limited Industrial
zoned districts would be more conducive for industrial activities.
Due to the nature of industrial activities, the Council feels that
the amendment proposed in this bill will not militate against the
intent of Code. Further, in situations when an industrial zoned lot
abuts another zoned district, through the Plan Approval process,
setbacks can be imposed to alleviate any potential adverse impact to
the adjacent lot.
SECTION 2. Section 25-212, Article 15, Chapter 25 of the Hawaii
County Code is amended to read as follows:
"Section 25-212. Minimum yards.
[(a)] The minimum yards in MG districts shall be as follows:
(1) Front [and rear] yard[s]: twenty feet.
(2) Side and rear yards: none, except as required by
plan approval."
SECTION 3. Section 25-220, Article 16, Chapter 25 of the Hawaii
County Code is amended to read as follows:
"Section 25-220. Minimum yards.
[(a)] Minimum yards in ML districts shall be as follows:
(1) Front [and rear] yard[s]: fifteen feet.
(2) Side and rear yards: none, except as required by
plan approval."
SECTION 4. Material to be repealed is bracketed. New material
is underscored. In printing this ordinance, the brackets, bracketed
material and underscoring need not be included.
SECTION 5. In the event that any portion of this ordinance is
declared invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the other parts
of this ordinance.
SECTION 6. This ordinance shall take effect upon its approval.
