Haw. Code R. § 15-15-95 : DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM —Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism — LAND USE COMMISSION RULES — SPECIAL PERMITS —15-95 - Petition before county planning commission
Text
(a)
Any person who desires to use land within an agricultural or rural district for other than a permissible agricultural or rural use may petition the county planning commission of the county within which the land is located for a special permit to use the land in the manner desired; provided that if the person is not the owner or sole owner in fee simple of the land, the record shall include evidence that the person requesting the special permit has written authorization of all fee simple owners to file the petition, which authorization shall also include an acknowledgement that the owners and their successors shall be bound by the special permit and its conditions.
(b)
Special permits for areas greater than fifteen acres require approval of both the county planning commission and the commission. Special permits approved by the county planning commission and which require commission approval must be forwarded to the commission within sixty days following the county planning commission's decision. The county shall assure that prior to the county hearing on the petition for special permit, copies of the special permit petition are forwarded to the land use commission, the state office of planning, and the department of agriculture for their review and comment. The decision of the county planning commission recommending approval of the special permit, together with the complete record, including maps, charts, other exhibits and other evidence, and the complete transcript of the proceeding before the county planning commission must be transmitted to the commission. Unless otherwise required by the commission, the planning commission shall file with the commission an original, one paper copy of the complete record, together with an electronic copy of the complete record. The number and format of copies required under this section may be modified by order of the commission.
(c)
Certain "unusual and reasonable" uses within agricultural and rural districts other than those for which the district is classified may be permitted. The following guidelines are established in determining an "unusual and reasonable use":
(1)
The use shall not be contrary to the objectives sought to be accomplished by chapters
205
and
205A
, HRS, and the rules of the commission;
(2)
The proposed use would not adversely affect surrounding property;
(3)
The proposed use would not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads and streets, sewers, water drainage and school improvements, and police and fire protection;
(4)
Unusual conditions, trends, and needs' have arisen since the district, boundaries and rules were established; and
(5)
The land upon which the proposed use is sought is unsuited for the uses permitted within the district.
(d)
Petitions for issuance of a special permit shall specify the proposed use and state concisely the nature of the petitioner's interest in the subject matter and the reasons for seeking the special permit, and shall include any facts, views, arguments, maps, plans, and relevant data in support of the petition.
(e)
The petitioner shall comply with all of the rules of practice and procedure of the county planning commission in which the subject property is located.
(f)
The county planning commission may impose such protective conditions as it deems necessary in the issuance of a special permit. The county planning commission shall establish, among other conditions, a reasonable time limit suited to establishing the particular use proposed, and if appropriate, a time limit for the duration of the proposed use, which shall be a condition of the special permit; provided, however, that the commission for good cause shown, may specify or change the time period of the special permit. If the permitted use is not substantially established to the satisfaction of the county planning commission within the specified time, it may revoke the permit. The county planning commission, with the concurrence of the commission, may extend the time limit if it deems that circumstances warrant the granting of the extension.
