PREFACE TO 2016 EDITION <br /> This 2016 edition of the Hawaii County Code contains all ordinances enacted through <br /> June 30, 2016. This republication of the Code may be cited as "Hawai`i County Code 1983 <br /> (2016 edition)." This edition is set forth in three volumes that contain chapters 1 through <br /> 36. Volume 3 also contains the following reference aids: a subject matter index; a <br /> legislative history table that lists ordinances and the chapters they affected by year; and an <br /> ordinance table that lists ordinances effective from 2015 to the present. <br /> The Hawaii County Code is a compilation of all ordinances of a general and permanent <br /> nature, with some exceptions. Ordinances relating to the County budget, appropriations, <br /> the issuance of bonds, State land use boundary amendments, improvement districts, salary <br /> ordinances, and emergency ordinances are not included in this Code. Likewise, the County <br /> of Hawai`i general plan and community development plans are adopted by reference but <br /> published as separate documents. <br /> This edition contains a number of formatting changes. The historical citations that <br /> appear at the end of each section were updated and the citation format was streamlined. In <br /> addition, repealed sections are designated as such, along with relevant historical citations. <br /> To make the code easier to read, the font has been changed to Century Schoolbook and <br /> tables have been enclosed in borders. To facilitate future amendment, numbers that <br /> formerly accompanied entries in the exceptional tree list in section 14-65 and the traffic <br /> schedules that are annexed to chapter 24, have been removed. Entries on these lists have <br /> been arranged in alphabetical order. The zoning code annex to chapter 25 now consists of <br /> only one schedule and the ordinance table now lists ordinances beginning with 2015. An <br /> ordinance table that includes ordinances dating back to 1992 is available on the County <br /> Clerk's website. <br /> All ordinances enacted after June 30, 2016, will be incorporated into this compilation <br /> by means of supplements. For public convenience and reference, an unofficial version of the <br /> Code will be maintained on the County of Hawai`i's website at: <br /> http://www.hawaiicounty.gov/lb-countycode/. Ordinances will be incorporated into this <br /> unofficial online version as they become effective. <br /> Mahalo to the staff of the Legislative Research Branch and our Deputy County Clerk, <br /> who produced this republication. Your efforts to maintain the code and complete this <br /> substantial task are greatly appreciated. <br /> Stewart Maeda <br /> County Clerk, County of Hawaii <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> August 19, 2016 <br /> i <br />
