A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to land use.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The purpose of this Act is to provide the land use commission with the power to amend, revise, or modify a decision and order granting a district boundary amendment when there has been a finding by the land use commission that a petitioner or its successors or assigns has not adhered to the conditions imposed by the commission.
SECTION 2. Section 205-4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (g) to read as follows:
"(g) Within a period of not more than
three hundred sixty-five days after the proper filing of a petition, unless
otherwise ordered by a court, or unless a time extension, which shall not
exceed ninety days, is established by a two-thirds vote of the members of the
commission, the commission, by filing findings of fact and conclusions of law,
shall act to approve the petition, deny the petition, or to modify the petition
by imposing conditions necessary to uphold the intent and spirit of this
chapter or the policies and criteria established pursuant to section 205-17 or
to assure substantial compliance with representations made by the petitioner in
seeking a boundary change. The commission may provide by condition that absent
substantial commencement of use of the land in accordance with [such
representations,] representations made to the commission, or absent
substantial compliance with the conditions imposed under this chapter, the
commission, on its own motion or upon motion by any party or interested person,
shall issue and serve upon the party bound by the condition an order to show
cause why the property should not revert to its former land use classification
or be changed to a more appropriate classification. [Such conditions] If
the commission finds that the petitioner's failure to adhere to or comply with
the representations or conditions does not warrant reversion to the land's
former land use classification, including by reason of ineligibility, the
commission may:
(1) Record a notice of noncompliance on the land with the bureau of conveyances; or
(2) Modify the existing conditions or impose new conditions to ensure compliance with the decision and order.
All conditions imposed under this subsection, if any, shall run with the land and be recorded in the bureau of conveyances."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
