Hawaii HB1015 amends land use district boundaries to align with county plans.

Hawaii HB1015 addresses the discrepancy between county and state land use planning processes. It allows county land use decision-making authorities to amend state land use district boundaries to align with their general and community development plans. This change aims to streamline development and housing production in areas where counties support growth, while also protecting agricultural lands. The bill specifies that amendments involving land areas of fifteen acres or less can be processed by county authorities, while larger areas require land use commission approval.
