Maui Research & Technology Park District zoning amendments (Bill 141, 2026)
Maui County
Description
A proposed ordinance to reallocate acreage for lower-density housing, allow a minor medical center, and trim the park's commercial building cap from 2 million to 1.8 million square feet. It was before the committee with a possible first-reading recommendation on the table.
Impact summary
Same 1,250 homes, spread over more land with less commercial density — a modest quality-of-life improvement for the growing Kihei community.

Maui Research & Technology Park zoning amendments (Bill 141, 2026)
Bill 141 shifts commercial acreage to residential in the Kihei tech park so homes are less dense, while keeping the 1,250-unit cap. Residents watching Kihei growth will see the same number of homes spread over more land, and slightly less commercial build-out.
Lānaʻi Project District 2 (Kōʻele) zoning change (Bills 24 and 25, 2024)
The committee added a sunset to the water-reporting condition: five years of quarterly reports, then annual reports or until a Phase 2 approval, whichever comes first. Water accountability on Lānaʻi stays on the books but won't run forever.
