The Honolulu City Council Committee on Zoning on April 3, 2025, took committee‑level action on a package of resolutions, reporting several CD1 measures out for adoption, postponing others and granting time extensions where applicants requested more time. Below are the items the committee reported or acted on during the meeting.

Items reported out for adoption (CD1 as amended or amended to CD1):
- Resolution 25‑81: Revised public infrastructure map (North Shore sustainable communities plan) to add a government building symbol in the vicinity of specified tax map keys (intended to support future acquisition and negotiations for a North Shore First Responders Center). DPP had no objections; committee recommended the report be reported out for adoption.

- Resolution 25‑82: Revised public infrastructure map (Koʻolau Poko sustainable communities plan) to add a government building symbol to facilitate future first responder/ambulance services. DPP supported the map revision and the committee reported it out for adoption.

- Resolution 25‑93: Amendment to extend the deadline to obtain a development permit for a Kahala single‑family dwelling project at 4439 Kahala Avenue to 05/03/2027 (applicant requested a two‑year extension). The committee amended the resolution to CD1 and reported it out for adoption. Applicant presented revisions to increase shoreline resiliency and noted a change in ownership; the archaeology monitoring plan concurrence was pending at time of the hearing.

- Resolution 25‑80 (Smythe): After‑the‑fact SMA major permit to Kimberly M. and Timothy D. Smythe (275 Keapulu Drive, Lanikai) for retention of a two‑story single‑family dwelling and related site work. The committee amended the proposed CD1 (deleted a condition requiring payment of accrued civil fines prior to permit and removed a clause protecting the city from litigation) and reported the CD1 out for adoption. The DPP reported no objections; applicant presented project history and cooperation with DLNR regarding easement realignment for the Kaiva Ridge Trail.

- Resolution 25‑95 (Highmark Capital LLC): SMA major permit for demolition and construction of a new two‑story single‑family dwelling at 12 Kailua Road, Kailua. Committee amended CD1 to require a copy of SHPD’s acceptance letter for the archaeological inventory survey and removed the clause shielding the city from lawsuits; reported out for adoption.

- Resolution 25‑24 (Western Community Crossroads LLC): SMA major permit for demolition of three dwellings and construction of two single‑family dwellings at 5537 Kamehameha Highway, Laie. Committee amended CD1 with clarifications including correcting an annual coastal erosion rate to 1.01 feet, requiring SHPD acceptance letters for archaeological inventory surveys and deleting the clause shielding the city from lawsuits; reported out for adoption.

- Resolution 25‑91 (Hilton Hawaiian Village SMA) and Resolution 25‑92 (Hilton PDR concept) — see separate article: both CD1s were amended (archaeological conditions and permit deadlines) and reported out for adoption.

Items postponed or extended:
- Resolution 25‑78 (Kaiva Ridge Trail, DLNR): Committee granted a 90‑day extension of time for council action to allow the State Department of Land and Natural Resources more time to negotiate an easement with Puʻulani Kai and other landowners. The chair noted written request available online as miscellaneous communication 01/2025 and no objections were raised.

- Resolution 25‑88 (Central Oʻahu PIM park symbol): The introducer asked to postpone this measure; the committee postponed action to a date and time determined by the committee chair to allow additional landowner conversations and DPP review.

- Resolution 25‑68 (Baker applicants, Pupukea/Paumalu): Applicant lacked information at hearing; the committee postponed action and granted a 90‑day extension of time subject to a written request from the applicant.

Other committee actions:
- Council Communication 90 (Review of the Oʻahu Historic Preservation Commission): The committee recommended that the commission be retained without change and reported the committee report for scheduling with public hearing and adoption.

Across multiple SMA items, the committee consistently accepted Department of Planning and Permitting recommendations, required State Historic Preservation Division acceptance letters before construction in shoreline/archaeology‑sensitive sites, corrected technical references (for example, an annual erosion rate typographical correction to 1.01 feet), and removed proposed clauses that would have limited legal actions against the city, its officials or employees. Several projects required applicants to submit revised traffic, landscape and site plans when the PDR or major Waikiki Special District permit follows.

Many items were reported out by voice without a recorded roll‑call tally in the transcript; the committee chair recorded “hearing none, so ordered” or similar language to adopt or report out the CD1 versions for full‑council consideration.
