A REQUEST FOR AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 21, REVISED ORDINANCES OF HONOLULU (ROH), 1990 LAND USE ORDINANCE (LUO), RELATING TO USE REGULATIONS
The Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) is proposing to amend the LUO relating to Use Regulations. The DPP-initiated Bill amends the Master Use Table in Article 3, Specific Use Development Standards in Article 5, and use definitions in Article 10 of the LUO.
The purpose of this Bill is to update the use regulations throughout Chapter 21, Revised Ordinances of Honolulu 1990 (“Land Use Ordinance”).
Woven into the proposed bill is the DPP’s recommendation pertaining to the City Council’s Resolution No. 20-293, relating to farm village communities.
