Title
TEMPORARY INVESTIGATIVE GROUP ON POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR TRANSIENT VACATION RENTAL USES IN THE APARTMENT DISTRICTS (HLU-4(1))
Description
The Committee is in receipt of correspondence dated August 13, 2025, from the Committee Vice-Chair, transmitting a legislative proposal to establish a Temporary Investigative Group on policies and procedures for Transient Vacation Rental uses in the Apartment Districts. The Temporary Investigative Group may make findings and recommendations on:
1. Apartment District properties where continuing Transient Vacation Rental uses may be appropriate, even if the Council enacts an ordinance phasing out TVRs as permitted uses in the A-1 and A-2 zones.
2. Forecasted economic and social impacts of TVR uses being phased out in the Apartment Districts.
3. Bills the Council may initiate to approve a Change in Zoning, Community Plan Amendment, or Conditional Permit for the identified properties.
4. Improvements to Chapter 19.510, Maui County Code, "Application and procedures," to make applications for Changes in Zoning, Community Plan Amendments, or other land-use entitlements more cost efficient and time efficient.
Status
The Committee may consider whether to establish a Temporary Investigative Group as permitted under Section 92-2.5, Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes, as described in the legislative proposal. The Committee may also consider other related action.
