NOTICE OF PUBLICATION AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the Council of the County of Kaua’i will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, September 9, 2020, at 1:30 p.m., or soon thereafter, at the Council Chambers, 4396 Rice Street, Room 201, Historic County Building, Lihu’e, on the following: Bill No. 2796 A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 8 OF THE KAUA’I COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE (CZO) (County of Kaua’i Planning Department, Applicant) (ZA-2020-16) This Bill proposes to amend Chapter 8, Section 1.5, Kaua’i County Code 1987, as amended, by amending the definitions of “Applicant” and “Owner” to eliminate the seventy-five percent (75%) or more equitable and legal title requirement. The purpose of this Bill is to clarify who qualifies as an “owner” and who may submit an application for zoning permits pursuant to this Chapter. This Bill further proposes to amend the definition of “Applicant” by eliminating “lessees” or anyone other than the owner, from being an “Applicant.” The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that it is the owner that authorizes any proposed zoning application and not the leaseholder whose lease term may be close to its expiration date. All interested persons who wish to present their comments may do so at the public hearing. Written testimony prior to the hearing would be appreciated. Written testimony can be submitted to the Office of the County Clerk, Council Services Division by mail, facsimile, or via E-mail to counciltestimony@kauai.gov. Copies of the Bills are available at the Office of the County Clerk, Council Services Division. (The Council Committee or Council may amend this Bill at their subsequent meetings.
