I am in favor of streamlining the permitting process. All an owner needs to build is a permit. The faster the permitting process is, the faster the owner can build. With the discussion of adding ADUs to many existing homes to help with providing more dwellings, a streamlined building permit process is ideal. I want to add that the MAPPS notification feature that emails and texts me when something has changed on a permit application is very helpful; this alleviates waiting time and cross-communication that was prevalent before MAPPS. The BP process is not perfect, but streamlining it will allow Maui to help dig out of the extreme - and now tragic - housing shortage we are in.
I guess I misunderstood. I thought this agenda item was directed at the Lahaina expedited permittgin process. Isn't this the eminent imparative?There is a section of county code existing after disaster; 105.2.1 It was amended in 2022, not "written a long time ago".
