Committee approves transmission of amended hotel‑like property list in Reso. 26‑111
Summary
The committee voted to forward Resolution 26‑111 as amended (including additions of Kamaole Sands, Luana Kai, Mahina Surf and Hana Kai) to the planning commission after debate about what qualifies as 'hotel‑like.'
On July 6 the HOU Committee voted to transmit Resolution 26‑111 — a separate package of properties described as operating like hotels — to the planning commission with member amendments. The package was amended to add Kamole/Kamaole Sands, Luana Kai, Mahina Surf and Hana Kai after members reviewed supporting materials and toured parcel histories.
Debate centered on how to define "hotel‑like" features. Member Cook presented historical developer letters, photos and on‑site observations (front desk, centralized laundry, 24‑hour registration and guest services) to justify additions. Member Rollins Fernandez and others pushed back that features such as an onsite resident manager or a pet policy are not conclusive proof of hotel operation and urged careful criteria so other properties are not arbitrarily included or excluded. The committee accepted Cook’s additions and other member ASFs by roll call; the final vote to transmit the amended Reso. 26‑111 returned 6 ayes, 2 noes and 1 excused. The planning commission will now consider the list and return recommendations to the council.
