The Planning Director initiated a bill to amend Chapter 25, related to
• telecommunication antennas and towers.
The draft bill was considered by the Windward Planning Commission at its
• meetings on September 5, 2024 and October 3, 2024 and by the Leeward
• Planning Commission at its meeting on September 19, 2024.
The Planning Department transmitted the Windward and Leeward Planning
• Commission's recommendations on the draft bill to the County Council for
consideration.
• The Planning Department was informed that corrections to the draft bill were
• necessary before it could proceed to the County Council.
In response, the Planning Department incorporated feedback from the County Clerk's
office and produced a revised draft bill (Planning Department Exhibit 2B). Key updates in
this draft include:
• Correction of drafting errors, such as correcting terminology, spelling, grammar, and
formatting errors.
• Use of the legislative drafting format which includes amendments to the previously
omitted Hawai -,i County Code 1983 (2016, as amended), Chapter 25 (Zoning), sections
25-5-921 25-5-1021 25-5-1121 25-5-122.
Except for the omitted sections mentioned above, no other substantive changes were
made to the draft bill from when it was originally considered by the Planning Commissions.
The Planning Director's original background report provides a high-level summary and
rationale for the proposed amendments, the revised bill provides a precise structure,
incorporates all omitted sections, ensures clarity in the amended text, and meets
legislative drafting format requirements.
