Hawaii HB2424 allows counties to petition for land reclassification from agricultural to rural districts.

Hawaii HB2424 amends land use law to allow county planning commissions to petition the land use commission for a district boundary amendment to reclassify land within the agricultural district to the rural district. This applies to lots no larger than two acres, developed for single-family residences, and part of an existing agricultural subdivision. The land use commission may deny the petition or schedule a contested case hearing if necessary. The law aims to address non-conforming lots and uses that are not suitable for commercial agriculture.
