Waikiki Rezoning KilledKudos to the City Council's Zoning Committee chair Donna Mercado Kim for finally killing Bills 171 and 172, the proposals to rezone large areas of Waikiki to allow greater heights and densities. The Bills were originally proposed before the City Planning Commission on August 10, 1993, and since then have had many revisions and have been analyzed and discussed at two Workshops and at least six Committee Meetings and Public Hearings. Thirteen persons, representing various businesses, landowners, hotels and citizen groups, registered their continuing opposition to specific areas in the proposals at the final meeting on July 5. Excerpts of League's testimony follow:
Kim ended the meeting stating that there would be no rezoning before a Master Plan is adopted. We initiated the applause that followed.
