NO. SMA 03-000007
HALE PACIFICA, LLC is requesting the revocation of Special Management Area Use
(SMA) Permit No. 03-000007 (as amended) originally issued to Hale Pacifica, LLC
(formerly Wesley & Kelley Huggett) by the Leeward Planning Commission on January
18, 2018 (Planning Department Exhibit 1 – Letter Dated February 18, 2018), to
allow for the development of 4-unit condominium building and related uses on 15,203-

REQUEST
1. Revocation of Special Management Area (SMA) Use Permit No. 03-000007:
The applicant (HALE PACIFICA, LLC) is initiating the revocation of SMA Use
Permit No. 03-000007, which was approved on January 18, 2018, by the Leeward
Planning Commission. The proposed improvements included the development of
a 4-unit condominium building and related improvements. (Planning
Department Exhibit 2 – Letter Dated May 20, 2025)
2. Reasons for the Request: Due to a failure to secure an additional time extension
for SMA No. 03-000007 and the applicants desire to change the project from a 4-
unit condominium complex to a single-family residence, the Planning Director
requested that the applicant submit a new SMA Use Permit Application for
review and processing.
RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the above review of the request for revocation, the Planning Director
recommends this request to revoke Special Management Area Use Permit No. 03-
000007 be approved by the Planning Commission.
