(DRAFT 3)
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 25, ARTICLE 2, DIVISION 1,
SECTION 25-2-4, OF THE HAW AI'I COUNTY CODE 1983 (2005 EDITION, AS
AMENDED), RELATING TO NOTIFICATION OF SURROUNDING PROPERTY
OWNERS AND LESSEES OF RECORD FOR CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATIONS.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAW AI'I:
SECTION 1. Purpose. The Hawai'i County Code requires notice to be served on
property owners and lessees of record whose lots are within five hundred feet of any point along
the perimeter boundary of a building site affected by any zone change application within the
state land use agricultural district, providing the surrounding lots are also in the state land use
agricultural district. One acre being the equivalent of 43,560 square feet, the size of lots in
agricultural districts may result in very few surrounding property owners receiving proper
notification of pending applications. This ordinance expands the perimeter boundary for
notification of an application for a change of zoning district classification when the building site
and surrounding properties are located in the state land use agricultural district or the County
zoned agricultural district.

Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended), is amended by amending subsections (a) and (b) to read
as follows:
"(a) Whenever any applic~tion under this chapter requires notice to owners and
