Hawaii SB2423 aims to reduce housing costs by prohibiting counties from imposing certain lot size and dwelling specifications in urban areas.

Hawaii SB2423 seeks to address rising housing costs by eliminating certain minimum lot size and dwelling specifications within the state's urban district. The bill prohibits counties from requiring lots to exceed 1,200 square feet, 30 feet in width, or 40 feet in depth, and limits setbacks to 10 feet from the front, 5 feet from the back, and 5 feet from the sides. It also prevents counties from imposing construction requirements based on fire separation distance. The bill allows neighborhoods to petition for retaining certain requirements if signed by at least 75% of parcel owners.
