Prohibits counties from imposing certain lot size and dwelling specifications in urban districts.

This bill aims to reduce housing costs by eliminating certain minimum lot size and dwelling specifications in Hawaii's urban districts. It prohibits counties from requiring lots to exceed 1,200 square feet, be wider than 30 feet, be deeper than 40 feet, or have setbacks greater than 10 feet from the front or 5 feet from the back or side. It also prohibits counties from limiting dwellings to three stories or less. However, these restrictions do not apply to special management areas, flood hazard areas, tsunami evacuation zones, other hazard areas, or shoreline areas.
