Register to testify by April 5 (See details below) The DPP has proposed administrative rules to implement ordinances 18-19 of the Honolulu Land Use Ordinances that govern short-term rentals. The rules primarily focus on the process for granting B&B permits and enforcement actions against illegal vacation rentals.
Keep it Kailua proposes:
1. Both the permit granting process and all enforcement actions against illegal vacation rentals should be totally transparent to the public and consumers
.2. We recommend all proposed B&B permit locations be posted on the department’s webpage.
3. Neighbors and the public should be allowed to oppose permits if the properties are in violation of any Land Use Ordinances or there are other good causes for the denial of the permits.
4. All property locations, the owners, and the property management firms who have received a complaint and/or an NOV for operating an illegal short-term rental should be posted on the department’s webpage with the fine issued and what corrective actions were taken.
5. The 1000′ separation between short-term rentals in residential zoning must be strictly adhered to and any new permits that are found to be in violation of the separation requirement must have their permits immediately revoked.
6. As ordinance 18-19 dictates; all initial short-term rental violators should pay a civil fine of $1000 and $5000 per day for each day the violation persists. All recurring violators should pay a fine of $10,000 and $10,000 for each day the violation persists. (NO MORE REDUCTION OF FINES).
