What's Being Discussed

The Maui County Council's Housing and Land Use Committee will meet on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. to review two land use proposals:

• Maui Research & Technology Park (Bill 141, 2026): Proposed changes to how land is arranged and used within this park in Maui. Key changes include shifting some acreage to allow housing units to be spread out more (less dense), allowing a small medical clinic in the Civic District, and reducing the maximum amount of non-residential building space from 2,000,000 to 1,800,000 square feet.
• Lānaʻi Project District 2 – Kōʻele (Bills 24 & 25, 2024): Proposed zoning changes for about 210 acres in Lānaʻi City, affecting which parcels fall within the Kōʻele project district. A presentation from Pūlama Lānaʻi, the land management company for Lānaʻi, is expected.

Decisions Expected

• The committee may vote to recommend first reading of Bill 141 (2026), with or without changes, or set it aside.
• The committee may vote to recommend first reading of Bills 24 and 25 (2024), with or without changes, or set them aside.

Who Should Pay Attention

• Residents and businesses near the Maui Research & Technology Park
• Residents and landowners in Lānaʻi City and surrounding areas
• Anyone interested in housing density, land use, or commercial development on Maui and Lānaʻi

The public can testify in person in Wailuku, online via Microsoft Teams, by phone, or in writing by email or mail. Oral testimony is limited to 3 minutes per item.
