(Draft 2 ) AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 25 (ZONING CODE) OF THE HAWAII COUNTY CODE, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO ONE -ACRE PARCELS IN AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS BY INCREASING THE MINIMUM BUILDING SITE AREA IN AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS TO THREE ACRES. BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII: SECTION 1. Findings and purpose. The County Council of the County of Hawaii recognizes that the agricultural district provides for agricultural and very low density residential use, but at the same time recognizes that one -acre agricultural parcels are used primarily for residential uses.. The 11 "Gentl:emen/Gentlewomen farmers" with urban lifestyles use agricultural dedication to minimize property taxes on their country estates causing the price of agricultural land to increase. The County General Plan states "The County of Hawaii shall assist the expansion of the agricultural industry, especially diversified agriculture, through the protection of important agricultural lands, capital improvement and other programs, and continued cooperation with appropriate State and Federal agencies." To support this, the Council believes that any agricultural lot less than three -acres should be allowed only in the County's RA and RS zoned district. Therefore the purpose of this bill is to designate the minimum building site area in any (A) Agricultural district to three -acres. SECTION 2. Section 25-154, Article 8, Chapter 25 of the Hawaii°County Code is amended as follows: "Minimum building site area. The minimum building site area to be designated for any A district shall be [one] three acres. Other A districts having larger areas may be designated in increments of one acre up to a recommended maximum of ten thousand acres . `' SECTION 3. Section 25-155, Article 8, Chapter 25 of the Hawaii;;County Code is amended as follows: "Minimum building site average width. Each building site must it f have a minimum average width of one hundred [twenty] sixty feet for the first [one] three acres of the required area plus twenty �i feet for each additional acre of required area. The maximum required average width for any building site shall be one thousand feet SECTION 4. Section 25-157, Article 8, Chapter 25 of the Hawaii",County Code is amended as follows: ."Other regulations. "(a) If any legal building site in an A district has an area of less than one acre, then the yard and height requirements for the building site shall be the same as in the RS districts." -2- 19 "(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this article, building sites located within areas lawfully designated Agricultural -1 acre and Agricultural -2 acre at the time of the effective date of this ordinance, shall continue to be regulated by the provisions of this article, with the exception of Section 25-154 and Section 25-155, relative to the minimum building site area and minimum building site average width, respectively. The minimum building site area for Agricultural -1 acre zoned districts shall be one acre and the minimum building site average width shall be one hundred twenty feet. The minimum building site area for Agricultural -2 acre zoned districts shall be two acres and the minimum building site average width shall be one hundred forty feet." SECTION 5. Material to be repealed is bracketed. New material is underscored. In printing this ordinance, the brackets, bracketed materials, and underscoring need not be included. SECTION 6. In the event that any portion of this ordinance is declared invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the other parts of this ordinance. -3- SECTION 7.
