The vote on Friday was five to three to reject the petition from the Kanaheles. The petition questioned the justice of the LUC allowing the state Board of Land & Natural Resources to approve Urban use of the Conservation lands through its permit system.
Some Land Use Commission members said they saw the petition as the petitioners asking for the LUC to change the classification to Urban and said only owners of the land could make such a request.
Lance Collins, the petitioners' attorney, said that even though "counties and the Department of Land & Natural Resources govern the use of land (zoning and permitting) within a district, they do not have authority to classify lands into districts or determine whether district boundaries should be amended to reclassify land from one district to another." In other words, DLNR and counties are going around the state LUC classifications with special permits, the petitioners contended. Their attorney said the power to classify lands in Hawaiʻi is "solely vested in this commission."To read comments, add your own, and like this story, see Facebook. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter.
