2. A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 19.30A (AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT), MAUI COUNTY CODE, WHICH WOULD AMEND THE DEFINITIONS OF “AGRICULTURAL RETAIL STRUCTURE” AND “FARMER’S MARKET” TO INCLUDE “VEHICLE” AND “STRUCTURE ON WHEELS” AS TYPES OF AGRICULTURAL RETAIL STRUCTURES
Ms. Kate L. K. Blystone, Planning Director, referring to the Maui, Molokai and Lanai Planning Commissions, a proposed bill to amend Maui County Code Chapter 19.30A; allowing “vehicle” and “structure on wheels” to be added as types of agricultural retail structures to the definition of “Agricultural Retail Structure.” The bill would allow “vehicle” and “structure on wheels” to be considered as types of agricultural retail structures, thereby allowing them, under certain provisions, to be considered as permitted accessory uses in the Agricultural District. Note that County Council Resolution No. 25-60, FD1, referring this bill to the Planning Commissions for their review, findings and recommendations to the County Council also included a proposed change to Section 16.25.105.2 “Work exempt from permit.” The Planning Commissions are only responsible for reviewing and providing recommendations on proposed land use ordinances affecting Title 19 – Zoning Code and not Title 16 – Buildings and Construction.
