Piilani Promenade land-use conflict with LUC order
Maui County
Summary
The committee wrestled with whether to keep an 80/20 residential/commercial policy for Piilani Promenade when a Land Use Commission decision and order currently bars residential use there. Corp counsel flagged it as odd to mandate uses the LUC has prohibited; members discussed 'if-then' language in case the landowner goes back to the LUC, plus a lingering ~$20 million subdivision bond for the Kaonoulu extension road.
