THIRTY-FIRST LEGISLATURE, 2022
STATE OF HAWAII

SENATE RESOLUTION

 

 

Requesting the board of agriculture to prohibit unapproved residential use of farm dwellings in agricultural parks.

 

 

     WHEREAS, agricultural parks are an essential component of the State's agricultural industry; and

 

     WHEREAS, the primary purpose of agricultural parks is for agricultural production, not residential use; and

 

     WHEREAS, residential use of farm dwellings on agricultural parks can produce noise, dust, and other nuisances that disrupt nearby communities; and

 

     WHEREAS, there have been numerous complaints from communities in or near agricultural parks regarding dust, noise, and other nuisances from the residential use of agricultural parks; and

 

     WHEREAS, a prohibition on certain residential uses of agricultural parks would mitigate or eliminate the production of noise, dust, and other nuisances in agricultural parks; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Thirty-first Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2022, that the Board of Agriculture is requested to establish a prohibition on unapproved residential uses of farm dwellings in agricultural parks; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Agriculture is requested to prepare and submit a report of its findings and recommendations, including actions taken, progress made, and any proposed legislation to the Legislature no later than thirty days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2023; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a certified copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the Chairperson of the Board of Agriculture.
