These districts are Waikiki, Punchbowl, Diamond Head, Chinatown, the Capitol District and the Honolulu Academy of Arts at Thomas Square. In 1999, enabling legislation City Ordinance 99-12 revised Chapter 21 of the City’s Land Use Ordinance. It streamlined the land use per- mitting process and ensured that adequate controls and review mechanisms were in place for proposed land uses, including opportunities for public notice and comment. A subsequent amendment to the Ha- leiwa Special District was made in 2002 via City Or- dinance 02-19 which established drive-thru facilities as a permitted use in the Haleiwa Special District. In general, a special district designation identifies signif- icant public views and establishes design controls for building heights, yards, landscaping, off-street park- ing and architectural character for an area. The Ha- leiwa Special District now is defined as the geographic area from Weed Circle on the south to Haleiwa Beach Park on the north. But that may change if the current ordinance is once again amended. On February 19, in response to a request from North Shore Chamber of Commerce, I introduced Resolution 16-42. The resolution directs the Depart- ment of Planning and Permitting to submit a bill that would make specific changes to the Land Use Ordi- nance which, among other proposed changes, seeks to expand the special design district north beyond Page 6 www.northshorenews.com March 2, 2016 North Shore $100 Chamber of Partial Highlight New Client Includes a complimentary Commerce News conditioning treatment SPECIAL! 808.341.5630 hairbycarlyells.com Membership Spotlight Haleiwa Fish Company: Bounty from the Sea Salon La Sirena • Waialua If you’re looking for fresh fish at an inviting ven- ue, Haleiwa Fish Company at 66-456 Kamehameha Highway, Haleiwa, is the place to be.
