19.82.010 - Purpose and intent.

The council finds that the State of Hawai&#699 department of business and economic development has projected that the county's average visitor population and total number of hotel units will both increase by approximately 130 percent between 1985 and 2010.

In order to preserve the traditional social, economic, and environmental values of our community, and to ensure that the county's infrastructure is not overburdened, construction of hotel rooms must be limited for an interim period.

The council finds that the county is entering a unique period of long-range planning since the county's general plan and its nine regional community plans must undergo a ten-year review pursuant to section 8-8.3 of the revised charter of the county of Maui 1983 (1989 edition), the county's comprehensive zoning ordinance is being redrafted by the department of planning, and various infrastructural and housing master plans and projects are being developed by both the State and county.

The council further finds that the areas comprising the Lahaina and Kīhei-Mākena community plan regions have been the areas most adversely affected by the impacts of rapid hotel development.

The council believes that the interim restrictions upon hotel development would allow the county adequate time to conduct studies, prepare and implement infrastructural and housing master plans, implement the general plan of the county of Maui, and promote the public health, safety and welfare.

19.83.050 - Design standards.

A.

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, all other requirements and standards of the underlying zoning district shall apply.

1.

Within cluster housing projects, detached, duplex, and multifamily dwellings shall be permitted. Multifamily dwellings shall not exceed eight dwelling units in one structure.

2.

All structures containing more than two dwelling units shall be set back a minimum of twice the required side and rear yard setback from adjoining properties, provided that this setback need not be provided if the adjoining properties are separated by a permanent open space in excess of fifteen feet in width.

(Ord. 2135 § 1 (part), 1992)

19.84.010 - Purpose and intent.

A.

The purposes of this zero lot line overlay concept are as follows:

1.

To allow housing which has the attributes of detached single-family dwellings but which allows placement of dwellings against one of the property lines, permitting the outdoor space to be grouped and utilized to its maximum benefit;

2.

To provide a greater lot yield, as compared with the typical single-family development, with cost savings due to less street frontage per zoning lot and smaller lot sizes; and

3.

To offer incentives to provide affordable housing by increasing density and expediting development processing.

B.

The intent of the zero lot line overlay district is to encourage affordable housing as defined in title 18 of the Maui County Code by allowing the directors of public works and planning to increase densities in the underlying zoning district based on criteria and standards established by the Maui County council as provided herein. It is further intended that no zero lot line development shall be permitted where there are no public sewer collection and treatment systems. For purposes of this chapter, "public sewer collection and treatment system" means a publicly owned or privately owned treatment unit and its associated piped collection system and disposal system, excluding individual wastewater systems or cesspools.

(Ord. 2135 § 2 (part), 1992)

A zero lot line overlay district development for single-family dwellings may be permitted in the R-1, R-2, and R-3 districts, if approved by the director of public works and the director of planning as provided in this chapter. Where the standards included in this chapter conflict with standards included in the individual districts or other sections of title 19, the standards included in this chapter shall apply.

(Ord. 2135 § 2 (part), 1992)

19.84.030 - Application and procedures.

All developments in the zero lot line overlay district shall be processed in accordance with title 18 of the Maui County Code, including application requirements, provided that a site plan shall be submitted with other application materials which meets the criteria established in sections 19.84.040 and 19.84.050 of this chapter.

(Ord. 2135 § 2 (part), 1992)

19.84.040 - Development standards.

All applications for a zero lot line overlay district development shall comply with the following applicable development standards:

A.

Land Area. The land area for a zero lot line overlay district development shall be not less than one acre and not greater than twenty-five acres.

19.85.010 - Findings, purpose and intent.

The Maui County council finds there is convincing documented evidence that adult entertainment activities, because of their very nature, have a deleterious, secondary effect on both the existing businesses that surround such activities as well as the surrounding residential areas adjacent to such activities, cause increased crime, decrease in property values, and have a general negative effect on the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the communities where such adult entertainment activities are located.

Additionally, based upon public testimony received through public hearings conducted by the three planning commissions on the islands of Maui, Lāna‘i, and Molokai, and by testimony received by the Maui County council, the council finds that the county of Maui has high community standards regarding adult entertainment activity, particularly when nudity occurs as a form of adult entertainment.

The Maui County council desires to protect the citizenry from these adverse secondary effects, and prevent them where possible, thus protecting the citizenry from increased crime, preserving the quality of life, preserving property values and the character of surrounding neighborhoods, and deterring the spread of urban blight.

It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to regulate adult entertainment activity to promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the citizens of Maui County, and to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the adverse secondary effects the location and concentration of adult entertainment activities will have within the county.

It is not the intent of this chapter to suppress any speech activities protected by the First Amendment of the United States, but to enact a content neutral ordinance which addresses the secondary effects adult entertainment activities have on the health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry.

The provisions of this chapter have neither the purpose nor effect of imposing a limitation or restriction on the content of any adult entertainment activity. Similarly, it is not the intent or effect of this chapter to restrict or deny access by adults to adult entertainment activity protected by the First Amendment.

The council has established this zoning district to implement the Maui island plan's directed growth strategy and the Wailuku-Kahului community plan by creating a mixed-use residential community that addresses Maui's future housing demand and provides for the diverse needs of the community's residents. Key objectives of the Waikapu country town include:

1.

Provide for a range of housing options to address projected housing demand.

2.

Develop a "complete community" with a mix of housing, retail, and civic uses to support the community's residents.

3.

Create employment within the Waikapu country town to reduce vehicle commutes.

4.

(Ord. No. 4997, § 1, 2019)

19.96.020 - Form-based code.

The Waikapu country town zoning code establishes new types of zoning districts, including mixed use districts, and the approximate acreages in each district. It also regulates and provides flexibility in the form and configuration of development, by establishing lot types. In Waikapu country town, each lot type has its own development standards, and each zoning district allows multiple lot types. Development on each lot type is regulated by traditional standards, including setbacks, building heights, and lot sizes and widths, and by new standards, including building orientation, driveway ingress and egress, street frontage, and floor area ratios. In addition, the Waikapu country town zoning code lists all uses alphabetically in tables that identify all zoning districts in which a use is allowed and all lot types on which it may occur.

(Ord. No. 4997, § 1, 2019)

19.96.030 - Controlling plan.

The controlling plan establishes eight zoning districts that together establish a mix of land uses that achieve the purpose and intent of this ordinance. Figure 1A is the controlling plan.

A.

Town center. The purpose of the town center district is to create a commercial and social core for Waikapu within a portion of the original grounds of the Maui Tropical Plantation. The unique character and ambiance of the Maui Tropical Plantation grounds will create a village green, which will be the defining feature of the town center. The village green will give the community a distinct sense of place that invites residents to gather and relax and enjoy the tropical grounds and scenic views of the West Maui mountains. Here it is intended for residents to have convenient access to goods and services such as restaurants, cafes, or a farmer's market. Designed around the village green may be live-work residences, multi-family residences, and a mix of retail, business, entertainment, and personal service uses.

B.

Main street. The purpose of the main street district is to create a second walkable town core to service Waikapu country town residents living east (makai) of Honoapiilani Highway. The district comprises a mix of retail, business, and personal service uses organized around a main street design typology that invites walking and bicycling. Development within the district may also include multi-family residences and live-work residences. The adopted main street design typology intends that buildings will front onto wide sidewalks with parking placed within the street right-of-way, within public parking lots, and on-site at the rear of buildings. It is intended that pedestrian-oriented street design and landscape planting provide natural cooling and shading of the streets and sidewalks within the district.

C.

Commercial/employment. The purpose of the commercial/employment district is to establish an area for uses that deliver goods and services or create employment in the professional services, light manufacturing, warehousing, repair services, sales, and distribution sectors. The district may also accommodate neighborhood grocery stores or general merchandise stores that serve the Waikapu country town and the developing Waikapu trade area. The district is characterized by small blocks, buildings built on front property lines, and ample pedestrian amenities.
