Description
The Committee is in receipt of Resolution 26-130, entitled “REFERRING TO THE MAUI PLANNING COMMISSION A PROPOSED BILL TO AMEND THE KIHEI-MAKENA COMMUNITY PLAN AND WEST MAUI COMMUNITY PLAN AND A PROPOSED BILL TO CHANGE THE ZONING FOR PROPERTIES IDENTIFIED AS TAX MAP KEY (2) 3-9-016:019, KĪHEI, HAWAI‘I, AND TAX MAP KEYS (2) 4-5-013:002 AND 026, LAHAINA, HAWAI‘I, IN THE A-2 APARTMENT DISTRICT.” Resolution 26-130’s purpose is to refer to the Maui Planning Commission a proposed bill to amend the Kihei-Makena Community Plan and West Maui Community Plan and a proposed bill to change the zoning for the following properties to allow Transient Vacation Rental uses to continue:
a. 10 Walaka Street, Kīhei, Hawai‘i, which has a single owner; and
b. Makai Sunset Inn, 1415 Front Street and 1411 Front Street, Lahaina, Hawai‘i, which operates like a hotel and is in the Sea Level Rise Exposure Area.
The Community Plan Amendment bill would amend the Kihei-Makena Community Plan to designate 10 Walaka Street as Hotel and the West Maui Community Plan to designate the Makai Sunset Inn properties as Resort/Hotel, and make conforming amendments to the community plans’ text. The Change in Zoning bill would grant a Change in Zoning from the A-2 Apartment District to the H-4 Hotel District for the properties.
