PUBLIC HEARING
Public hearing notice published in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser on Friday, February 21, 2025. The Commission will take action on each item after public hearing is closed.
A REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 21, REVISED ORDINANCES OF HONOLULU (“ROH”) 2021 (THE LAND USE ORDINANCE [“LUO”]), RELATING TO ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT
The City Council initiated a proposal to amend the LUO, Relating to Administrative Enforcement.
Resolution No. 24-141, Relating to Administrative, Enforcement, amends the LUO by clarifying the administrative enforcement procedures found in ROH §21- 2.150-2 (Administrative Enforcement).
The Resolution specifies that the physical posting of a copy of the enforcement notice is effective service upon all violations named in the enforcement notice. This change is designed to provide the DPP with more methods to serve a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) or Notice of Order (“NOO”) in order to address instances where a violator has evaded enforcement by deliberately avoiding or refusing to accept service of an NOV or NOO. This change will facilitate and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the DPP’s enforcement efforts.
The Department of Planning and Permitting (“DPP”) supports the intent of the Resolution and recommends additional edits for clarity.
