The City’s Department of Planning and Permitting has been updating the Land Use Ordinance (LUO), which was adopted over 30 years ago, in phases. Due to the City process for updating the LUO, Bill 10 is set to expire in early 2024. As such, Planning and the Economy Committee Chair Esther Kia’āina introduced Bill 64 (2023), which is the previously identified Bill 10 (2022). Bill 64 represents the second phase of the LUO process and was introduced to replace, revise, and update the use regulations in the LUO, including the Master Use Table, use development standards, and use definitions.

“Bill 64 would substantially overhaul the City’s land use ordinance, the measure is lengthy and complex, and I want to ensure the Councilmembers and members of the public have sufficient time to review and provide manaʻo on each land use category. My hope is that by taking up the measure by land use category we will be able to have robust discussion on each category and achieve clarity and much needed transparency for the public.”
-Planning and the Economy Committee Chair Esther Kiaʻāina
