Cite as Haw. Code R. § 15-22-31
The mixed-use
zone commercial emphasis (MUZ-C) established by this chapter
is designed to promote and protect the public health,
safety, and general welfare. These general goals include,
among others, the following specific purposes:
(1) To
provide
a
mixed-use
subarea
whereby
residential, commercial, industrial and public
uses may coexist compatibly within the same area.
The primary emphasis within this zone shall be to
develop a predominantly commercial multi-storied
area which will provide much needed jobs and other
employment opportunities for the residents. In
addition, the area will support a wide variety of
housing types, with a mixture of residents of
various age groups, incomes, and family groups
which will be located above the industrial or
commercial
uses;
together
with
appropriate
community facilities for residents and workers;
(2) To encourage industrial uses in appropriate areas
provided
they
meet
reasonable
performance
standards;

(3) To encourage developers to provide a certain
amount of reserved housing units, for Hula Mae and
the unserviced income groups;
(4) To create a truly mixed-use area, both vertically,
as
well
as
horizontally,
of
commercial,
industrial, and multi-family uses, by regulating
the density of population and the bulk of
buildings in relation to the land around them and
to one another, and by providing for off-street
parking spaces; to require the provision of open
space;
to
encourage
the
development
of
job
opportunities for the residents in the area;
(5) To provide freedom of architectural design, in
order
to
encourage
the
development
of
more
attractive and economic building forms;
(6) To promote the most desirable use of land and
direction of building development in accord with a
well-considered plan, to promote stability of
commercial,
industrial,
and
multi-family
development, to protect the character of the
district
and
its
peculiar
suitability
for
particular uses, and to conserve the value of land
and buildings; and
(7) To
encourage
the
development
of
integrated
multi-decked projects as planned developments
within the zone, thus ensuring maximum building
densities
and
providing
appropriate
vertical
mixtures of uses. [Eff 9/8/86, comp 1/28/88, am
