AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 25 (ZONING CODE) OF THE HAWAII COUNTY CODE, AS AMENDED, TO ALLOW CHURCHES AND SIMILAR INSTITUTIONS TO APPLY FOR A USE PERMIT IN THE LIMITED INDUSTRIAL (ML) ZONED DISTRICT. BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII: SECTION 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this bill is to allow churches, temples, and other institutions of a religious, cultural, philanthropic, or charitable nature to apply for a use permit in the Limited Industrial (ML) zoned district. These institutions have changed over the years in their locational service to immediate communities. A church's membership can now easily travel to the church rather than the church having to locate close to its membership. Through the use permit process, potential impacts to the built environment and its infrastructure can be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. It is felt that this method of land use review would provide these special institutions with the economic and locational flexibility needed to foster its spiritual and charitable growth. ~ `~ SECTION 2. Section 25-28(a)(1), Article ~', Chapter 25 of the Hawaii County Code is amended as follows: "(a) A use permit shall be obtained from the planning commission for the following uses within designated county-zoned districts unless specifically permitted in a zoned district.

A minimum lot area of 10,000 square feet is required within the RS, RD, RM, and RA districts." SECTION 3. Material to be repealed is bracketed. New material is underscored.
