NOTICE OF PUBLICATION AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Ngtice is hereby given that the Council of the County of Kaua`i will hold a
public hearing on Wednesday, October 5, 2022, at 8:30 a.m., or soon thereafter, at

Bill No. 2860
A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 8, KAUAI COUNTY
CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO GUEST HOUSE (Kauai County
Council, Applicant)
This Bill proposes to amend Chapter 8, Kaua`i County Code 1987, as
amended, by amending the definition of "Guest House" in Section 8-1.5 of the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO), increasing the maximum floor area of a
Guest House from five hundred (500) square feet to eight hundred (800) square feet.
The Bill also proposes to add new language to Section 8-4.5(a)(5) of the CZO
requiring one (1) off-street parking space per Guest House in addition to the
required off-street parking for the primary dwelling unit.
Bill No. 2877
A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 8
COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE), CHAPTER 12 (BUILDING
CODE), AND CHAPTER 13 (ELECTRICAL CODE), KAUAI COUNTY CODE
1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING
This Bill proposes to amend Kaua`i County Code 1987, as amended,
Chapter 8 (Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance) (CZO), Chapter 12 (Building Code),
and Chapter 13 (Electrical Code), to establish electric vehicle charging system
EVCS) and other EV-related requirements in the CZO, with establishment of
penalties for failure to comply and corresponding changes to the Building Code and
Electrical Code. The EVCS installation and maintenance requirements are based
on Hawai`i Revised Statutes (HRS) Section 291-71, which states in part: "Places of
public accommodation with at least one hundred parking spaces available for use by
the general public shall have at least one parking space equipped with an electric
vehicle charging system located anywhere in the parking structure or lot" and HRS
Section 291-73, which states: "Each county may adopt ordinances to enforce the
requirements of section 291-71, including the establishment of penalties for failure
to comply with the requirements of that section or maintain electric vehicle
charging systems in working order." Additionally, the "EV-ready" provisions of Bill
No. 2877 require that applicable sites install certain infrastructure at the time of
new parking lot construction, which the property owner could later use for EVCS
installation. The Bill would apply to zoning permit applicants for parking at
properties as follows: (1) Industrial District, (2) Commercial District, (3) Resort
District, (4) Agriculture District, for operations with fifty (50) or more employees,
and (5) Multi-family ("Dwelling, Multiple Family") residential sites with three (3) or
more units. The Bill would apply to these sites for: (1) new construction,
and (2) modifications to increase the size of any existing or new structure on the
property by 2,000 square feet or more, provided that only EVCS-installed
requirements shall apply to modifications, not EV-ready requirements. For 1-99
parking spaces: (1) EVCS-installed spaces would be not mandatory but encouraged,
and (2) the minimum number of EV-ready spaces would be 15% of the total number
of parking spaces, with a minimum of one (1) parking space and all fractions
rounded up, minus the number of any EVCS spaces voluntarily installed to the
standards prescribed by the Bill. For 100 or more parking spaces: (1) the minimum
number of EVCS-installed parking spaces would be 5% of the total number of
parking spaces, with all fractions rounded up, and (2) the minimum number of
EV-ready parking spaces would be 15% of the total number of parking spaces, with
all fractions rounded up, minus the number of EVCS-installed spaces.
All interested persons who wish to present their comments may do so at the
public hearing. Written testimony prior to the hearing would be appreciated.
Written testimony can be submitted to the Office of the County Clerk, Council
