Honu'apo Park Resource Management Plan

3.2 Hawaiÿi County Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide
Honuÿapo Park Final Resources Management Plan
The Hawaiÿi County Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map (LUPAG) is part of the
Hawaiÿi County General Plan, the latest version of which was enacted by County
Council in February 2005. The LUPAG specifies the general location of land uses
in the County of Hawaiÿi.
LUPAG classes within Honuÿapo Park include “Open” along the shoreline,
“Extensive Agriculture” in the southern portion of the park within the Honuÿapo
ahupuaÿa, and “Conservation” in the northern section of the park within Hiÿonaÿä
ahupuaÿa.
3.3 Hawaiÿi County Zoning
Related Laws and Regulations
• Hawaiÿi County Code (HCC) Section 25-5-70 thru 77 and 25-5-160 thru 167
Hawaiÿi County Zoning Code (HCC Chapter 25) specifies permitted uses of lands
on the Island of Hawaiÿi. The section of the park located in the Honuÿapo ahupuaÿa
is zoned as Agricultural District (A-20) (20-ac minimum lot size); while the area
located in the Hiÿonaÿä ahupuaÿa is zoned as Open Space (O).
The Agricultural District is defined as providing for agricultural and very low
density agriculturally-based residential use, encompassing rural areas of good to
marginal agricultural and grazing land, forest land, game habitats, and areas where
urbanization is not found to be appropriate. The Open District applies to areas that
contribute to the general welfare, the full enjoyment, or the economic well-being of
open land type uses, including preservation of valuable scenic vistas, areas of
special historical significance, or submerged lands and fishponds. Permitted uses
within this district are generally associated with passive recreation, forestry, and
preservation of sites of historic, cultural, or natural significance. Figure 3-2 below
shows County zoning for Honuÿapo Park and its vicinity.
